Foundry Sketchpad
Away from your Xbox 360 with no way to play Halo 3 and Forge something on the Foundry? Here's work-friendly way to avoid doing actual work and do some paper drawing planning for your Forge creation.

Wow. I've done this for other maps, as a way to show setups to my team. This is incredbly accurate though. Think we could get overheads of other maps? Especially mlg maps...
-
My only complaint about this paper map is we weren't given the following information. 1) Maximum cash limit for the map when all items that can be placed on the map are cleared from the map. 2) Maximum number of all the given items that can be placed on the map if all items. 3) Dollar amount for all items that can be placed on the map. Without that information you could come up with a kick rear map, but not enough funds to implement it. Is this petty? I'll admit it could be viewed that way, but I still would have preferred that information to be given. =================================== Edit: I've recently gone through and written down on paper all the stats I mentioned up above for the Foundry map and will post them in time (hopefully).

I like this idea but is there a way to get sketch's of the other maps as well cause i want to make strategies on maps so that me and my team can practice them and get good at the map.

Awesome Lukems, I use 3 pages for multiple levels, I took them to school (Freshman) and my algebra teacher was like, What in the world is that? Edit: I suggest more items on the key (Stairs, Walls, Fence Boxes, etc) [Edited on 12.17.2007 2:28 PM PST]

add a better key, like walls, and stairs
-
why are there six passage ways on the left side of the sketch pad when there not there in the game?
-

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Epistemik I think the maps included so far in gameplay are good maps, however I miss the ability to get to new locations that no one else can get to. And not via a superjump or hacking but through determination and clever timing of your crouch jumps. I think if there were a map editor, one where you were able to start from scratch and even design the terrain and size of the level ceilings, then you would expand the game greatly. Think of it as Halo 3's console analog to CS or CSS's ability to integrate new and COMPLETELY customizable maps. I am not saying however, that I am disappointed with Halo 3 as a game, in fact, I think it's one of my favorite FPS's ever, but at times I just seem to be left wanting more freedom throughout the maps. This brings me to my segway for this thread. I think this "sketchpad" is exactly what I am suggesting, only in tangible, real world form. If this were somehow introduced into the multiplayer scheme of things, then I would be as happy as me being with Jessica Alba.[/quote] I would be happier with Jessica Alba. Sorry Bungie.

oooh, But Wheres Standoff?

This is awesome! Me and my friend make stuff when we're done with homework in study hall so this is perfect!! hahaha, so what, we're nerds at designing maps.
-
AWESOME.
-
Bungie! I finally have something to do during Spanish class. Will you be making more of these for all of the maps? Thanks very much.
-
That's just badass dood! I'd like to see some more stuff like an appearance simulator you can run on your pc if you haven't found that perfect emblem or color combination.
-
Okay nice
-
that is way useful!!! I gotta start building on this map.
-
I am so glad to see this. I have been working on an Excel speadsheet that I made to look like Foundry. I have already been sketching out ideas on some sheets I printed from that also. This, however, is much better and easier to visualize. Thanks Bungie. : )

I was actually sitting at work last night sketching out a level on paper because I was bored. It's like you read my mind!
-
What a thoughtful idea. This should be really useful. Cheers, Bungie. -FW
-
Good Idea Bungie. Now you need to come out with detailed PDFs of all the other maps. (Standoff) Teams that play competitively could use them in many capacities. They would be a great resource.
-
What are the rectangles on the left side of the sketch? Are they supposed to represent windows so that you have your bearings, or what? [Edited on 12.12.2007 7:12 PM PST]

Sweet! Like I needed another reason to screw off at work. Must be Christmas!!!
-
I was wondering could you guys change my membership rank to -blam-tastic? that would be soo sweet!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Thoruen Wow, that PDF looks like a map from my old paper & pencil Dungeons & Dragons days[/quote] Wow, i was just thinking the exact same thing. It does look like my 2nd edition D&D stuff. Wow. And today at school, i was sitting in my spare period doodling in my notebook about map ideas for foundry forge, wow, great idea bungie. GENIUS!!!

I dunno if anyone has talked about this yet, but the soccer ball keeps dissapearing and respawning because u "damage" it. Is that on purpose, or by accident? respect, peace out zaeet
