*To control the overshield, have players on your team head to the top of your base; from here, they can fire down onto players on the enemy team and provide cover for another player to head for the overshield.

The center of the main level of Sandbox is a flat, empty floor, similar to Foundry, but visually resembling Sandtrap. The map includes "just about every kind of building block you could ever want"; for example, tunnels, crouch-only doorways and quarter-pyramids are usable; see [http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=17271 here] for a full list. The item limits have been loosened; for example, unlike Foundry's 20 wall limit, it is possible to place 40 walls in Sandbox. In the standard ''Halo 3'' game, Sandbox also supports every vehicle in ''Halo 3'' [[multiplayer]] except the [[M313 Elephant|Elephant]]. | The center of the main level of Sandbox is a flat, empty floor, similar to Foundry, but visually resembling Sandtrap.

A new Forge item included in Sandbox is an orb of light that colors its surroundings in either [[Red Light|red]] or [[Blue Light|blue]]; it can be used to differentiate the two bases, similar to most maps made by Bungie. Another is the [[Kill Ball]], a large orange sphere that kills anyone who comes into contact with it.

Another is the [[Kill Ball]], a large orange sphere that kills anyone who comes into contact with it. A golf club (called the [[7 wood]]) that acts like a [[Type-2 gravity hammer|gravity hammer]], a golf ball, and a cup to hit it into are also available. The cup is like a magnet to the golf ball; if the ball touches the grassy part of it, the ball will automatically roll into it. It takes two swings to get it back out. Like the [[soccer ball]], it is purely for aesthetic purposes and in no way will score you a point. In Forge mode, a blue grid appears on the map to help the player place objects the way they want it with accuracy and precision. Also, it takes 3.5 seconds to fall to the bottom of the crypt (3.5x2- a potential [[Seven|7]] reference). It takes 10 seconds to walk from one side to the other.{{Ref/Reuse|ign}}<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=17271 '''Bungie.net''': ''Sandbox Tools'']</ref> | ||
The Grid only appears in Forge, not in actual gameplay modes such as [[Slayer]], [[Capture the Flag]], or [[Infection]]. There are many new items to be placed in Forge. These are mostly [[Sandtrap]]-themed (as well as [[Ghost Town]]-themed wooden objects), to keep within the style of the map.<ref name="bungie13">[http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=17358 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 02/13/09'']</ref> | The Grid only appears in Forge, not in actual gameplay modes such as [[Slayer]], [[Capture the Flag]], or [[Infection]].
