From the start this map has evolved over many stages. From a rough draft, spawned from a love of early halo design. Into a melting pot of all our favorite design aspects. Sandstone has twin symmetric bases, flanked by asymmetric structures high and low. While blue and red base anchor the map, I find that there is a place for everyone. Do you like to snipe? Do you prefer close combat? Mid range battle rifle conflicts? Maybe you like to hold down the base on defense. There really is a lot of diversity in this map. A game type and niche for every player.
