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. A golf club (called the [[7 wood]]) that acts like a [[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 [[Seven|7]] reference). It takes 10 seconds to walk from one side to the other.<ref name="ign"/><ref>[http://www.bungie.net/projects/halo3/asset_thumb_viewer.aspx?at=59&cc=21 '''Bungie.net''': ''Halo 3 Screenshots'']</ref><ref>[http://www.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. A full list of Sandbox objects is located [[Blog:Sandbox|here]].
