Sandbox Frailty - Page 2

This map is a masterpiece, my friend. I've seen this map and downloaded before it got posted here (I did some surfing and found it on monitor built) and I was amazed.
I love the blue base, the lifts is beautiful, the structure from relic is astonishing, the size of the thing is awesome, and the layout just reminds me of a Halo 2 map. Love the towers and the bases, the size of blue base is great, and the grass and feel of the red base is very cool too. One thing I didn't like was you couldn't get onto the BR and carbine towers for the blue team well, but that shouldn't discourage that. The layout is bungie-worthy, the execution is stunning, and the gameplay is exhilarating, really feels like its right out of halo 2 with a halo 3 twist and some awesome architecture. The aesthetics are beautiful, top-notch geomerging and interlocking. This map has some of the most unique and awesome designs in any map I've seen. And it plays like a charm. You've got yourself a whole map filled with WIN, and I wouldn't be surprised if this got featured. Though I haven't played a full game, just a forge through and a quick 2 minute team slayer game, I will hopefully get back to you on the gameplay thoroughly. I'll give it a great score of 5/5; truthfully I really think this is gold. Congrats on this post. Keep forging, you'll do well here.

Beautiful, well done. At first i thought it was a mix of Relic and BloodGulch, like said before. But then i looked at your side structures and the middle base, and this is Fantastically Diverse from many other Sandbox middle level maps. I think this definitely has a Forerunner feel to it. Also, it's great that you made this map, since it inspires to forge on the middle level instead of the Sky bubble which seems to be the favorite area right now.

The Aesthetics are above fantastic, the gameplay has more to it than the demanding community asks for, and you made Sandbox work with a BigTeamBattle game, which is a great acclomplishment. Where were you when Foundry was around? You probably made beast maps that i missed :(

Thanks for the praise, it took me forever to make (since Halo Wars release and a RROD as well) but I think the time spent has been worth it. As far as the towers go, you have to kinda crouch jump up there, but they're not quite THAT high. Once you practice a bit with jumping it is ridiculously easy to pull off.

I think that ,like Utah Mambo, this map could be put into matchmaking, no, should. Honestly, I say you should submit this to Atlas. (If that's what its called) When I saw the first picture I started thinking of Relic, I believe. I'd love to play on this map, and through matchmaking would be the only way I'd get a full game. It would be nice if you put up a couple more overview pics but it wont matter to me. I'll be doing a forge through to get a closer look at this master piece.

Thanks man. I've done a few Foundry maps but to me they were more aesthetic in some aspects than normal. But most people loved them and featured them (on other sites) so I guess they worked out. Here's a couple of my old maps, enjoy.

I also found they had somewhat of that same theme or idea but I think you would agree that they both execute it very differently.

Yeah. Your base is almost like elongation. I like it. I don't know if you know but, UM was put into matchmaking. It was also a feature here. If people are comparing it to that, than you are in good standings. This is definitely within the top 3 best maps I have ever seen made on Sandbox, and I'm here all the time, every day. It takes quite a bit for me to step back and look at a map for more than even 10 seconds, let alone download it. I've called a lot of features already. I'm calling this one.

this is awesome you have some really good structures in there the splazer and missle spawn towers are my favorite. but the middle and the blue team spawn are great to i love the fact that you geomerged things too worth a download. please limit up the weapon list some and take out maybe 1 or 2 mongooses and it will be almost perfect.

4.5/5 only becuase of the mongooses and weapon list but worth a downlaod

Hey glad to see it's finally posted. This map's gameplay is great everyone, I definetely recommend playing it at least once. Like I said when I first saw it, it looks alot like H2's Relic and it's aesthetics are still unique. Good luck with the ATLAS submition by the way.

So you'd prefer something a bit more MLG like?
