With Halo 5, we got a couple of unique environments, from the earthly Sanghelios to the twisted Genesis, and the water-surrounded Sunaion. If you could create an environment to appear in the next Halo game, what would you create?
For me, I would create a temperate, lake-side environment, with small water geysers that occasionally spurt from cracks in the ground, raining water on the environment. One part of the skybox would be a large waterfall, with mountains in the distance. (Inspired by this early Kamchatka concept art.)
An place with high mountains,everything is covered in ice and snow,the sky is alwaysblack,temperatures never rises over 10 degerees.
Rain. Lots of rain. And dense woodland. Spooky dark. Good for sniping and CQC.
I’d go with some snowy environment, and make it like it did in Halo CE, with Foruner structures to go into. and also have it take place in a canyon. Snowy, white canyon.
WZ map (very large size)
The map is like a half-pipe. It’s very long (long with respect to the length of the pipe), not terribly wide (like 2x arena map width that rounds up) and rounded concave on the lowest level.
The concave floors don’t just round up, but also change the gravity. If you run up a side you’d appear to be standing sideways to someone standing in the middle.
There are multiple levels/platforms in height. Making it reminiscent of a two dimensional platformer.
Now, the long ends of the half pipe round up, such that the entire surface over the entire length bends upward. In fact, it bends so far it forms a ring…
And in the center of the ring is a clear sphere. It allows you to see to the opposite side of the map without shooting at it. No one could ever stand on the sphere because of the way the gravity works.
Simply put, this map is essentially a mini halo. The gravitational effects make it very unique, especially with how grav lifts come into play.
The New Mombasa environment from the Halo 2 E3 demo. ODST had it, but lacked variety and didn’t have the “invasion” vibe to it like that demo had. Sunaion is a good example. That environment felt urban and alien at the same time while also having that invasion feel.
