The sun and lighting. The scope and size of the playable area. The challenge of racing through the booby-trapped desert. The mysterious towers that surround the sand arena. The mac-cannon in the sky. The blowing sand. The amazing things we could do in Forge with that kind of pallet.
The Elephant!!!
I remember screamingly funny racing games, zombie at 200 speed, CTF was wickedly competitive, and,
I think it would be the one true map that sprint makes sense on.
I would pay some money if you port it in a map pack with at least 2 other maps, and give us Forge items in that beautiful crumbling sand pallet.
> Oh, yes… Capture the Flag with mobile bases… ooh, even better: make it bigger, use Mammoths instead of Elephants… aw yiss.
That put a smirk on my face… Graphically updated Sandtrap with full desert effects (such as sandstorms or sand affected by bullets and explosives), size slightly increased to accompany the size of dual Mammoths. OOOOohhhhhh the joys of that…
> Oh, yes… Capture the Flag with mobile bases… ooh, even better: make it bigger, use Mammoths instead of Elephants… aw yiss.
Well if what they say about maps being scaled up due to sprint is true…awesome.
I would also like the Hornet back for this map, i used to forge Hornets in to make it more fun.
Also the Mammoth would need to be immune to EMP
Maybe also some more cover, but not in the way of the Mammoths.

Well, if they give us some Forging items, we can CREATE more cover in our own variants! And Hornets? I want, I want!
You know, me being “spoilt” and entitled to what I “want” and all. (for those who call those who call for change spoiled entitled brats and complainers)
It wouldn’t play well in Halo 4 due to…
…DMR’s and LR’s overly-long range.
…PP and Stickies off spawn.
…Active Camo.
…Ordnance dropping Snipers and Splasers everywhere.
I personally love Sandtrap, so I’d hate to see it suffer the same fate as Valhalla.
I liked Sandtrap… but I think they should make it a Forge map. You know, make it exactly like it was, Elephants and all, but make all of the structures on the map Forgeable. All the existing Forge pieces should be re-skinned with a sandstone-ish look, like Sandbox.
You could even build a second base for CTF matches, if you wanted. You know, instead of having the flags on the Elephants…

Exactly, the DMR and Light riffle destroyed Valhalla/Ragnarok.
And the vehicles are also not good anymore when everyone has stickies and PP.
A Mammoth in MM that moves around the map (by players or AI) would be the coolest thing on earth especally if theres a Flag to capture in that mammoth.

Sandtrap is pretty big, and elephants can’t be destroyed by PPs and stickies. But I can see how ordinance and AC will screw up the map. Jetpack would screw it up too.
> Don’t get me wrong, I like sandtrap, I’d just like a map from another game
So bring in two maps. The unique thing about sand trap is how open it is. Us forgers could take use of it as well as everybody else, which means a lot more people benefit than just the standard online group.
My thought would be to bring in Waterworks as well. If any map deserves a remake, it’s that one.
problem is… 343 will change it… what they will do is:
get rid of the mine area and do it so as soon as you step in there you die
theyll add more sand cos… they like sand
theyll get rid of the elephants
theyll get rid of UNSC ship in the sky cos ‘its now abandoned’ even though it already was
and just generaly get rid of everything tha was fun on that map
if they literaly took it from halo 3 over to halo 4 and improved the graphics, replaced the weapons to the new ones and same for vehicles (except elephant) then yes, id love tha, always was and will always be one of my fav maps!!
