    I don't think so... if you read the article about the OLN, the bungie guy mentions that it is based off of how they built the maps... they built them to hold 640 objects... it's just that it is not as noticeable with the other maps because you hit other limits before you hit OLN... Sandbox doesn't have many limits... it's the same all around...

    No, that's not why I'm annoyed. They just only say it's a griffball arena. They say I guess it could be used for forge, but it's mainly for griffball. It's not. Bungie made the map for forging. They made it into a griffball arena, but in reality all a griffball arena is is just a box of emptiness. I don't know. It's just a tick.

    yeah I dont think they raised the OLN.

    otherwise they wouldn't have given the warning saying "you're more likely to hit it now"

    I just read about the $1500. Sounds great, but they said we will hit the item before the budget. Still, it sounds great.

    they never said it was only a griffball arena

    they said they wanted to make a blank arena for griffball, so they did. doesnt imply that its the only reason for the area nor the only purpose.

    Actually they said that they did nearly double it, from 340 to 640. Your more likely to hit it now because everything costs less and there is an insanely high budget. I can see where you are more likely to hit it now.

    i would hope they raised it, i have run into the object limit before, without having that big of a map, but then i was using a money glitch map, with all origional parts deleted, but still, i would hope they raised it

    Please read the article carefully again... the 640 objects is in the Map File Format... you can't just change that all willy nilly...

    Answers for the Limits Article/Sandbox Palette

    yeah, but for dogfight maps on the skybubble, the normal hornets would be way too overpowering compared to the rest of the air vehicles,

    This might have been answered already, but does it add/delete supplies for each level, e.g. disable flying vehicles in the crypt, add more flying vehicles in the sky bubble?

    I doubt it does. It's just a map, you don't choose which section your on whithout getting there yourselves, so it shouldn't disable any vehicles. Lol, you could out a hornet in the crypt for a zombie for fun, and all the humans run around with rockets or someething. Zombie gets extra health of course.

    oh man... lol. i can see this going over well. flying vehicles in the crypt. I'm sure there will be plenty of "fun" maps arising from this realization. Of course, fun for the person in the vehicle splattering everyone else.

    Not really, don't you remember that one air battle in campaign? Banshees are more mobile, they come at you from the side and such. And...THEY CAN DO BARREL ROLLS.
    But for the transport hornets, you're probably going to have to give someone a rocket launcher to make sure the transport doesn't explode as soon as it goes outside.

    Sandbox has the same items throughout the whole map. You dont get a separate budget for the different levels. All of the items are universal.

    Someone earlier said that the budget was $1500. I dont NOT believe him, but does anyone have proof? or can show me where that info was found?
