Halo 3 | Sandtrap Map Ambience

Halo 3 - Multiplayer Map | Sandtrap - Ambience |

Set in a desert wasteland on The Ark. The primary focus of the map is a series of ancient Forerunner stone structures, buried in the desert sands. Surrounding the site is a circular Forerunner wall, lined with six massive Forerunner towers. The stone ruins extend off to both sides of the map, though those in the center have been partially excavated by persons unknown.

At some point during or after the Battle of Installation 00, the area came under the occupation of the Jiralhanae, who fortified the site with landmines and at least one Ru'swum-pattern Phantom. However, the Jiralhanae were driven from the ruins either by UNSC forces or another party, such as Sentinels. UNSC forces deployed from UNSC Aegis Fate took control of the area, utilizing D96-TCE Albatross 03 and two M313 Elephants, named "Behemoth" and "Leviathan." An analysis of the region's atmosphere by the UNSC showed its atmospheric composition to be the following: Carbon dioxide: 82.7% Nitrogen: 7.5%[5] Hydrogen: 4.7% Argon: 2.5% The region's surface composition was revealed consisting of Carbon, Silicon, Sodium, Titanium, Nitrogen, Zinc, Calcium, and other trace elements. In addition, the composition of the structures is presently unknown, and life signs in the region are minimal. - Halopedia

My attempt with this project is to catalogue and present the core essence of the Halo games. Not through crazy gameplay, but rather the simplicity of their atmosphere. Experiencing these games as a kid, hearing the music for the first time, was something truly special. I hope that with these videos you can go back, reminisce, and remember these places as we left them.

Footage was captured in Halo 3 via the Master Chief Collection.

Thanks for all the good times.
See you starside.
