    Well if there is an underground area, perhaps it is more enclosed like foundry. Better suited for creating enclosed maps since the middle tier obviously isn't enclosed. As seen in some of the screenshots there are vehicles driving out on the dunes.

    Maybe the killsphere is what the powerdrainer was originally going to be. It was originally going to be equipment that, when thrown, would kill or destroy anything touching it. What I want is if the killsphere is a forge object, then we get to say, only players can go through, no vehicles, both, or only vehicles, like teleporters, but you can choose.

    It kills anything that goes through it. They said so.

    This image probably has the most new information about Sandbox to date. Look at all of the new objects! All of the intricate details, and the forge filters! We should all take the time to analyze and break down this image.

    Yeah I love the new grid. Foundry's grid was useful but this grid is ****in' awesome. I hope the squares are all the right size though, on foundry the grid seemed to be a bit smaller than it should have been.

    Oh wow, I didn't even notice that grid. Then I guess an apology is due to the user who claimed there would be a grid, and I shot it down with internal build.

    What I really want to know is what the **** is that orange force-field? That looks so god damn cool. At first I though they re-rendered the bubble shield, but realized it couldn't be that.

    I see a standard teleporter node in the background, so we aren't getting anything new as far as teleporter nodes are concerned.

    Its the "kill ball" they were talking about. Go back a page or two and it you should find the link to the description of it... anyway its basically a huge ball kills people the second the step into it. Alot of people were talking about using it as a death barrier for maps.

    One of the coolest things about this is we can finally get some verticality out of our maps. Prisoner/Hang 'Em High remake, anyone?

    (Cenotaph still rules, Iv0rY)

    Oh alright. Glad to finally have a death barrier. But is that the standard size, or do we know if we can en-large it? Either way, that one thing just spawned hundreds of possible maps.

    We don't really know if you could change the size, but I'm guessing you can either make it smaller and larger, or you can have a few of them in a row. You should be able to make a barrier from a couple of these, even though they are round.

    So, basically you read what I said, and ignored it. That's cool.

    Its not equipment. Its an object you place in forge obviously.

    Oh wow, didn't see the grid on the bottom of the map.

    (Just because nothing done by bungie can go without complication.)

    Too bad the grid doesn't hit the Z axis aswell =/
