343 Studios’ BS Angel gives fans an update on the upcoming Halo 4 maps via Halo Waypoint website. Angel shared the following in terms of the map locations and environments: “Inspiration for this map came from a wide variety of places, including oil refineries, giant mechs from films and cartoons, NASA imagery of gas giants, naval shipyards, and aircraft carriers, to new a few. We also referenced numerous well-developed sci-fi places throughout its development.”
Angel also touched on the planned Warehouse map that’s been rumored for quite some time:
“Because Warehouse is a symmetrical map, our greatest challenge was making sure players know where they are at a any given point, and yet having it make sense as an inspiring visual story. There are lost of complete mirrored paths, which could be overwhelming, so we had to develop landmarks and jey features to give players a sense of unique position. We wanted it to feel like something memorable, from an interesting and unseen part of the Halo universe, that tells a story.”
Should be dope. The developer already mentioned there will be no Halo 4 beta before its rumored holiday launch, so we can only dream of what chaos will ensue in multiplayer mode once released.
