Another map for H3? Sweet! --666Slayer 23:49, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Glitch
There is a method to leave the boundaries of Sandtrap. All I know is that it involves theatre mode somehow. Does anyone know exactly how this is accomplished? Isidis 128 20:23, 8 December 2007 (UTC) I know you can overload the map with trip mines and that will disable the mines.Spartan6 03:21, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

It's called Pan Cam mode. Sgt. Raynor 13:24, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Just like Relic?
I think this map is going to be like Relic. First of all, it said in the strategies it is similar to Relic. Second, the structure in Relic was a memorial to the Forerunners, which could technically be a "Shrine" Thirdly, theres an outline of a tall slim structure in the backround resembling the structure in Relic

Any other ideas?

In the magazine which had leaked footage(cant remember its name), Shrine was described as the biggest map EVER in a halo game.Relic is one of the middle ones.However, Shrine may have characteristics from Relic.

Spartan-G007

How can it be like relic when it's the largest map ever with a mobile base, and relic is a medium sized map? It has sand a forerunner structure. That's a vague comparison like saying that Turf and District are the same because they're both human levels and have close-quarter combat. The trivia piece on this should be removed.

No its like a Relic remake but more large. Clavix2  TALK TO ME Things I done 02:48, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

No, I disagree, I think it looks nothing like Relic, and I've seen an overhead shot of it in a leaked video. Longshotz5798 10:55, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

"Sandtrap"
Where the hell did that come from. All it says is "formerly known as shrine".

--7th Destiny 23:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Thats what im thinking. Where does this come from. It's know as "Shrine."--MYH.Q.  · MY ORDERS ·  MY BAT TL  ES  01:45, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Rename
If this map really is called "Sandtrap" then the article's title should be changed to reflect that, with the name "Shrine(level)" redirecting to it. ElFroCampeador 17:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

-this friday's weekly update said that it is infact sand trap, not shrine


 * I absolutely hate Bungie. First they said that the game would only come out on Xbox 360 (which I don't have) and now they're renaming a good map name with a really bland one. Why, Bungie? WHY!? --[[Image:Final Goji.jpg|30px]] Lordofmonsterisland  "Roar to me"  23:18, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * What's your defect? Sandtrap isn't bland. It's perfect for the look of the map itself. Trust me. Longshotz5798 10:58, 13 September 2007 (UTC)


 * What console platform do you want it on if not 360? [[Image:Marine Corp SSGT.JPG|30px]] SSgt. simon  rj  h [[Image:rjh.jpg|30px]] 14:55, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Battlecruiser?
from the few pictures of it that i've seen, it looks much more like a UNSC Frigate.  Kora ‘Morhekee   The Battle-Net  My Conquests.  03:56, 11 August 2007 (UTC)


 * That's what I was thinking as well. But it also looks like there is another ship above that as well. Anyways, I don't know.[[Image:UNSCoH_Dingo_without_letters.PNG|30px]] Colonel  Tony  Talk 8/11/2007


 * I posted this in the UNSC Battle Cruiser article, but it does look like a Frigate, not a big-ass battle cruiser. But it may be like an exponentially larger variant of a Frigate, but from the bottom it looks like a Frigate.AJ 02:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

User:Spartan-079 1:11, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * i agree in the egm september issue it looks like a frigate or destroyer as the books said they look similar.


 * that is, without a doubt, the design of a Frigate. I don't see how people calculated the size of a "battlecruiser" at 8,000 metres - what about just being low in the planets atmosphere, and therefore closer to the player, and the ground? And i'm sorry to correct spelling, but its "In Amber Clad." [[Image:HalfJaw03.jpg|20px]]  Kora ‘Morhekee   The Battle-Net  My Conquests.  07:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I read it was a FrigateSpartan6 03:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

woah...
i was watching some 1 UP.com screens of sandtrap, and i noticed something like the Ark's large things... i have a feeling that sandtrap is located somewhere near the ark...

Minefield
In the Bungie Forge guide #3 it says "teleport your friends into the minefield on Sandtrap."

Will this be like the turrets on snowbound? 1stSgt simon rj  h  06:40, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

I found an odd 'Forerunner' Thing that is mechinical and green. it appears in a shape of an X Shaped Symbol and flashes constantly. It can be found where the "Small Computer" spawns in one of the many ''Under Ground" Corridors. Note: theres one above it too. Does anyone know what it is?? --þ†öWè®¥ ^ (UNSC Fleetcom)(UNSC History)(UNSC Mision Log) 14:15, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Cooler Glitch
Any tryed out tha glitch i posted on tha santrap page? wiv tha seein ur opponents screen by lookin at tha gap? I figured it on my own. Go see it on the Article Page, its under trivia or sumthin. --JaBrwok 08:30, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Its the Seventinth down under the title Strategies & Miscellaneous. --JaBrwok 08:33, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Overhaul
I am overhauling the Halo 3 level pages, I am getting rid of "Tips and Tricks" and putting in its place Strategies. And remember that "fun" facts about the level is to go into the Trivia section, and game play tips on betterment of online play goes into Strategies, I will also add a Forge section on GOOD ideas on how to forge the map. Things that would belong there would be stuff like: "Adding more Trip Mines on Sandtrap can take some of the focus off vehicle combat." and "Adding Shield Doors in the walk ways on Guardian can help boost the need for tactics." H3Fear Me, or else... 00:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Crashed Scarab? No. Crashed Phantom? Yes.
I'm afraid you made an error. The wreckage near the Banshee is in fact a Phantom. Look it over carefully. I don't know WHO said it was a crashed Scarab, but I'm afraid they either didn't look properly or never bothered checking their handiwork after destroying a Scarab. It most definitely has the profile of a Phantom, right down to the 'nose'.

Precursor ruins?
I think that the temple/what-ever-it-was ruins aren't actually Forerunner but maybe Precursor. The metallic wall around the map certainly is Forerunner. It seems that (i believe that Sandtrap located on a planet) Forerunners found old ruins and decided to protect them and build a wall around them (maybe the place was originally a desert). Or it was an excavation site in the desert, and the wall and towers emit a shield to stop sand from coming back but they have now malfunctioned. Or the ruins could be just ancient Forerunner buildings and they decided to protect them. BTW, note similarity with buildings on Delta Halo.
 * I am pretty sure Sandtrap is located on the Ark considering the presence of the Aegis Fate. The fact that the structures could be for the same reasons the buildings on Delta Halo look old, they were transplanted there.  The Forerunner apparently like mixing their architecture, from their old structures to their new, modern ones. XRoadToDawnX 13:23, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

They probobly are Forerunner ruins because they look like almost every other type of Forerunner structure except they are eroded. According to the in-game description of the map, Brutes found the ruins when they excavated this area. That means that the ruins were buried under the sand for quite some time, giving them time to erode.

7 references
Well I think I found one. Behemoth : 3 Leviathan: 5+5 =13 + 3(Albatross) = 16. 1 + 6 = 7. --&quot;Die? Didn&#39;t you know?...Spartans don&#39;t die.&quot; 11:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Added it, even though it sounds stupid and idiotic!!!-- 4 scen  11:56, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Well that is kinda rude. 7 references are an integral part of the Halo games. Honor Guard Reborn

Ah, another one. FFG-307 (Frigate number) 6(f)+6(f)+7(g)+3+7= 28. 28 divided by four is 7. &quot;Die? Didn&#39;t you know?...Spartans don&#39;t die.&quot; 14:53, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

IP's statement
''*Unknown to many people, there are 2 Half Life 2 reference in Sandtraps. The first one being that Sandtraps is a level in Half Life 2, where the protagonist must negotiate a long coastal road, and the second being the presence of a red rusted crowbar in one of the lower rooms, the crowbar being the 1st weapon the player receives in Half Life 2''

Is this true or ignore it? (An Ip produced this information...) 16:05, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

The Location...
You say the Ark in the article, but the description states early Brute occupiers. They never made it to the Ark until the Covenant got there. Any other ideas? Maybe it's on Tatuween.


 * Hey, 77.102.136.41, who posted at 00:18, 19 July 2009!
 * Anons can sign their edits too, which is useful as it allows us to know when ya posted.
 * Perhaps it's the Brute planet, Doisac? The Forerunners had control over most of the galaxy, they coulda built towers on planets like Doisac.

PRECURSOR RUINS????
With both Sandbox AND Sandtrap, I have a feeling they might not be Forerunner at all, But precursor. My Evidence... The towers around the outside seem to be Forerunner, fair enough, but they function to keep people from coming in or going out. If the ruins in the centre of the maps were forerunner, wouldn't they be in an identical condition to the Towers on the outside. Also, The Forerunners looked to PRECURSORS the same way the Covenant looked to the Forerunners, all these towers could be to protect the possible precursor ruins in the middle of the map.
