I hope those of you who use the word Sandbox really know it's true meaning...... .

Of couse I do. Besides 2-3 of the guys in the Halo Reach Vidoc literally said "This is going to be a sandbox game"...lol You're probably one of the few people who haven't seen that video apparently.

Lets see how close it will be since I have never seen a true sandbox game besides MUD type, not even MMOs are like that.

I hope you're not reffering to Multi User Dungeons. In that case, the closest thing that comes to mind is Crysis, which pretty much gives the gamer the level of creation the developers had...Wonder if Crysis 2 will as well.

MUDs are very low in graphics, so of course this isn't going to be like that. However, the meaning of certain words and concepts can change over time, or even be repurposed or shared with other concepts; This is one of those situations. Heck, certain peopole are appaled that we would call final fantasy an RPG when clearly you need a dungeon master, 12-sided dice, a pen, and lots of paper for a real RPG and, story wise those types of RPGs are...I'm not sure I can think of a direct adjective to describe how linear they are in comparison. Do I care...Of course not...Again there's no adjective/situation I can find for how little I care...No I got one: I care for this as much a Sony cares for Japanese games (Well, at this point in the generation, at least)

 

Either way, bringing this up is rather completely...pointless given that you know exactly what I'm reffering to when I say 'Sandbox'.
