Now they have Halo 3: ODST, formerly known as Halo 3: Recon. They figured with that they can hold back on a few things like the maps. So they are probably keeping the favorites or best maps for later minus Sandbox, if it is something extremely awesome.

That is the worst logic I've ever heard.

Microsoft handles DLC. Whenever people have complained about the release date on bnet thats the response from a bungie employee. It definitely sounds like they want to release the whole thing ASAP but clearly microsoft has other plans, kind of annoying if you ask me.

You can easily delete the post or something so it doesn't make you look like an idiot :p

Sounds fun bungie has got me looking forward to this agian. Longshore sound like my fav simply because I like outside cheery maps with water(except Vahalla). But they lack a remake of headlong which makes me sad face.

Proof reading wont change your logic.
Do you even know what logic is? Most likely not, but in the case you do discover the true meaning, I'd be delighted to read what you would have written in the sense that you 'proof read' your writing,

If that was too much for you to understand, grab a dictionary. It's saved many people, including myself, from looking like an idiot.

If you cannot do that, then all hope is lost.

Onto your comment then, I find it flawed.
Why is Halo 3 No. 1 on the charts?
Because it'll take a lot until someone can give a multiplayer experience quite as good as what Bungie has given it's community.
Find me a game that compares in the sense (with facts) and I'll be quite astounded.

@Whisper, I know you want us to, as you would say, 'take "this" with a grain of salt' (for those who don't have a clue, just think 'don't take it seriously'), but Bungie will deny/confirm this rumor.

Remember 'OMG map making!!!'? Bungie would be stupid to let that happen again, so many people were disappointed.

This article almost irrefutably proves that Sandbox is indeed a Forge map.

The fact that it wasn't revealed to all of these people that played ALL of the other maps (there have been no more map names found in the Xbox tag coding) sparks suspicion. Seeing as it was the only one left out, and not even mentioned, there is some merit in thinking that it was withheld for a reason, possibly (and most likely at this point) being because it's too "big" of a surprise for Bungie to want to risk having it leaked. Big surprises from Bungie would likely come in the custom content field, and since I doubt we'll ever get a film editor or screenshot editor Sandbox is most likely a Forge map or a map editor on its own. For all we know, the best case scenario is that Sandbox isn't even a map at all and rather just a map editor in itself (within Halo 3) with a skull hidden on the default "example map" made with it. The worst case scenario in my opinion is that it's Foundry on steroids (which isn't bad at all for dedicated Forgers like me).

But what motives would Bungie have for telling us about it early? None. If they told us about it early, or even hinted at it, community speculation would run ridiculously wild as it always has (remember the debate about the X button?), and the vast majority of the community would end up disappointed that their "brilliant" ideas weren't listened to, as usual. Bungie's a smart enough company to have realized that surprise announcements generate more praise and premeditated ones generate your usual Bnet troll hate mail. Their "surprise" release of Cold Storage was pretty much universally loved by the community. Why? Very few people saw it coming. In order for Sandbox to be truly appreciated as it should be, they would logically keep it under wraps as long as possible. If they want it to be appreciated as it seems they do, it is likely a pretty big thing and a big deal, and likely not just a Foundry-style map, which leads me to believe that it will be a map editor of some sort.

And that's about all I have to say on this issue for the time being! If you read it, congrats! Haha.

The only flaw I find with your stuff is that the whole article you talk about isn't even confirmed to be true.

You have read my mind!

I can only hope that Sandbox will come on or before February.

Doubt it. If it's supposed to come with the limited edition of Halo Wars then I doubt it will come out till at least a couple weeks after.

Other wise what's the point of buying a game that comes with maps you can get off the market place?
