Hinted BTB Map?

Games Halo 5: Guardians

Has anyone noticed that Avalanche is in the background of the griffball map? I haven’t seen any posts about it so I was just wondering. Do you guys think this might be a future BTB map or is it just there for asthetics?

It wasn’t originally going to be that way. Nokyard had his friend whip it together to keep the map from being overly boring and plain looking. Too bad it wasn’t sealed properly… And don’t get me starts on the turret… Lol

In short, I don’t think it’s a hint. It’s not playable in any capacity as a slayer map the way it exists in the grifball map.

> The most difficult part of constructing the Halo 5 court was recreating the Avalanche backdrop, so I brought in my forging partner S117 Oracle, as she specializes in recreating Campaign spaces from previous titles. Without her, this court would have been a hockey rink which mysteriously floats in the sky.

Why would they waste their efforts on recreating parts of a map just for aesthetics though.

I hope they just finish it off and put it into BTB, and not wait for a full update to do it. Just stick into the rotation as an act of goodwill.

Why add stars to Torque? Whales to Fathom? To hold our, the fan bases’, attention.

It’s because the creator of the map was originally making a hockey map on avelanch in halo 3 but do to forge limitations it wasn’t perfect so it wasn’t added to matchmaking. This was like his callback to halo 3
