For those wanting to do an Annual run, I can join in. I don't have it yet and hear it's a blast.
As far as maps in MM goes, Bladed's Warlock remake and Vhfive's Sanctum NEED to be put in matchmaking. Those maps are amazing and well forged. If they worked in Halo 2, they sure as hell will work in Halo 3. The fact that the crypt makes them slightly smaller only makes it better, as you run slower in Halo 3.
Anyone seen the amazing Foundation remake at Forgehub? I can't wait to play some zombies or assault on that map.

Has anyone ever had objects in Forge become un-selectable? Two of the blocks I placed last night don't give me the option to select them - as if they're not there. Deleting all the objects around them doesn't help, and I've waited ten minutes or so and they are still in this phantom state. They're not original to Sandbox, so it's not that issue. Not sure what to do. One needs to be shifted about six inches. Won't be map-breaking if I can't, but I've never run into this issue before.

Yeah, I would like to see some other gametypes of it. I don't think it's a bad map, I just don't like SWAT.Thermite said:

So theres no tube piece that cuts directly to a direction? All I see is a corner tube piece that is HUGE and has one cube length on each side.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
Yesterday I played some matches with friends as a way to say goodbye to the school quarter, and I remembered how awesome this game is. It is amazing how it has been so many months since release and the game is still unchallenged in so many aspects. We played 4 vs 4 using 2 consoles and 2 projectors. I praise Bungie for taking in consideration fans that play using this method. Other games that look better cannot even 2 player pull split screen. I fucking love you Bungie.
Wow, this is all I ask out of next gen, higuer res. So beautiful.The Lamonster said:What's the weekend playlist today? What was it last weekend?

It sucked for slayer and I didn't like CTF on it, but multi-bomb and zombies were very enjoyable IMO.
HaloGAF customs tonight? Most people have the Mythic maps now and we could have some epic 8v8 fun.
i would play but i my brothers are over...Stormtrooper30 said:
hmm maybe they'll join.

EDIT: just counted all my sandbox maps and i have 23 playable maps

I can see where you're coming from. I agree, the bases do need some work, but overall I think it is (could be) a fine to decent map if played on regular slayer, neutral assault, etc.Ramirez said:
Yup, that did it. Thanks. :lolvhfive said:
I've been iterating on my map all week, trying to solve two core problems. I've built, torn down and rebuilt everything but the central platforms and components of the bases several times. Last night I couldn't sleep, got to thinking about map design and had a couple epiphanies. Got up, spent 20 minutes and solved both problems I was having with the layout. Should have it about 80% done tonight. Yay.
This does not deserve its own playlist. Ever. It's cool if it's in multi-team, but just leave it in there. The only time I could ever see myself enjoying that mode is if I'm system linking with a bunch of friends, and we are tired of playing the good gametypes like CTF and team slayerThe Lamonster said:
lololol would never happen
It should at least be a Weekend playlist, at least. Instead, there's tons of Grifball to spread the joy.Trasher said:
I enjoyed Rocket Race because there were different styles, at times at least, in the map variants.
This happens to me, and I can see why.
If you do not have it placed on the map for Start and you load up Forge, it will still be there, but you cannot select it. My way of simply getting that away is by resetting the round. I can then select the piece.

neutral assault? i mean, come on dax... neutral assault? NEUTRAL ASSAULT? I MEAN ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS NEUTRAL ASSAULT?!?!?
trying to walk out of your spoon of a base you're in the open susceptible to a shot from anywhere on the map. it's like being compared to a cockaroach on the floor of a kitchen when the lights are turned on. the bitch is gonna scatter and try to hide but it's going to get donged on.
no dax. that map is good for nothing other than taking a humongous dump on. if they want to play SWAT put vhfive's sanctum in there to replace. now that's a good user generated map.

foundation isnt really a map for matchmaking imo
its awesome for zombies and 4-way ctf
me and my friends played a ctf game on foundation called "taximan" on it where red, blue, and green teams start with shotguns and sniper rifles and its normal multiflag to 5. usually it was 4v4v4.
but then there's 1 guy on the yellow team who is the "taxi driver." no one could steal the taximan's flag or intentionally kill him, or they would forfeit the privilege of riding in the taxi.all the taxi driver could do is drive the gauss warthog around the map, picking up whoever calls for the taxi. anyone who doesn't call for the taxi or is on the opposite team of the passenger is splattered.
as long as the taxi driver doesn't favor a team (i was the taxi driver, and i was pretty neutral) it created so many epic situations, god it was awesome
as cool as those versions are, ive seen better wizards and sancs out there.
thats just the way it goes i guess

I haven't gotten to play Sanctum but running around it looked pretty good. I have gotten to play Bladed's remake and it was really fun and as far as I could tell very accurate.

Started working a new Zombies map entitled "Age of Empire." It'll revolve around a tower.
The Sanctuary-remake was okay, but I felt many of the middle and Carbine/Plasma Pistol jumps were too shortened. It's a great effort, but the Crypt probably limited a lot he could do.
Mage is a great build, though, and I do like the Foundation remake. Longest's build is meh, and has several leaks.
Speaking of maps, I did some tweaks to my bases, and this is what I've done.

Not a perfect job, but much easier than making things from Foundry. I still need to add something for the flag to stand on, or maybe nothing at all. Also need to align some things that may be out of line or crooked.

For anyone looking for a Beaver Creek map, or if you're making one, take a look at Oasis. I like the bases, but the middle is a mess. The flag room is especially nice.

Don't think so.
Oh and:
Dear Shishka,
Two years worth of vetoes, yet you still refuse to remove VIP from matchmaking. What's wrong with you? Despite VIP's weighting being "lowered" in Multi-Team, our last three games were VIP on Narrows.

Sandbox has given me the Forge itch and I'm currently working on my own map. I don't have anything to show yet, but it's going to be a quasi-asymmetric map on the surface layer. Two different bases facing each other.
I getting on right now and can join if you still need people.
