Now I know that Frankie stated that remaking maps that are available on the Xbox 360 would be redundant, but what I have in mind isn’t exactly a remake as much as a ”spiritual successor” akin to Valhalla’s relationship to Coagulation.
Santrap had something unique that I really would love to see again in a Big Teams map. Other than a vast space perfectly designed for healthy vehicle combat, it has: The Elephants. A pair of mobile bases that can serve as a safe mass-transport/weapons platform for your team in Slayer games, and as a way of creating different strategies when it comes to capturing and protecting in Objective games.
I would like to see the return of mobile bases on*(or potentially over)* a massive space well-suited for vehicles. And as nice as Elephants in HD would be, I would like to see something new instead, namely flying bases. Just think about how awesome it would be to have the ability to pilot a Pelican or Phantom loaded with 7 other players.
Most likely they wouldn’t use Pelicans or Phantoms for this as there isn’t enough movement space inside them*(opposed to what the Elephants have)*, so they might not work that well as a base. Whatever kind of carriers they choose should at least have some connection to the ground, such as two-way Teleporters or something. Either that or they could be destructible, and maybe there could be a gametype about destroying the enemy carrier.
I know that the ”flying bases dream” is a farfetched one that most likely won’t be realised in Halo 4, but I would like to see a Sandtrap-style map with two mobile bases. I really miss the sense of teamwork.
p.s. Elephants should definitely be an option for Forge.

… While i like everything you said above… you kinda stole my thread… but yes SANDTRAP REMAKE!!!
> I’d rather see the return of sandbox than sandtrap
Due to the Forge-nature of Sandbox, it would be very easy to remake in Halo 4’s Forge even if it’s less than half as good as the Forge in Halo: Reach. The only problem there is that the Chopper, the Prowler and various weapons from Halo 3 will probably not be available.
Besides, I wasn’t speaking about Sandtrap specifically, but more about the Elephants and a nice vehicle-space to go with them.

I’m sorry. I guess I should’ve used the Search-bar.
