Is the new image of Blood Gulch?

Now I’m not the type of Halo fan who is obsessed with Blood Gulch/Coagulation/Hemorrhage where everytime a new map is said to be in development they go crazy with “OMG I HOPE ITS BLOOD GUCLH!” I mean I like B.G. and it’s successors and they are greats maps but im not super crazy like that for it.

However looking at the foggy image in this weeks bulletin I feel that it is Blood Gulch.

Why?

Well look at the image, green fields, a grey structure to the left at the bottom of a shallow hill, high cliffs in the background and a shadow of an overhang in the foreground.

Looks like the side of Red base from B.G. to me.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Looking at the picture closer I see what appears to be a grey area in the far cliff, almost looks like a large Forerunner cavern. A new map maybe?

I see that it can’t be blood gulch, but perhaps a spiritual successor

343i has already said they are not having any remakes on disk.

Source?

it actually just looks like brute chopper in a mountainous region

I am pretty sure it isn’t. it resembles the forge map showcased in the forge videos.

Why would the chopper return? It’s already strange enough the gravity hammer is back when there are no Brutes in Halo 4(Unfortunately…I like Brutes AND Elites)

I wouldn’t mind it… its kinda tradition although its arguably not a very groovy map. Most fun to drive a hog on though.

It’s a warthog. Look closely, it has four wheels and a turret.

I don’t think its Blood Gulch itself, rather a map with a similar background and form of design. Maybe 343i used maps like Blood gulch/Beaver Creek for inspiration when designing this map?

Chopper love…

That’s old news man, I believe it’s on one of the bulletins but I’m too lazy to look it up.

The reasoning was because: “If you want to play those maps, play those games.” If you can already play a map on the 360, than most likely, it’s not in Halo 4 (So anything Halo 3 and Reach is out).

They have also stated, that Halo 4 will have 10 brand new maps on launch . . . brand new means that this cannot be a map from any of the previous installments . . . so it’s not Blood Gulch or any other iteration of it.

[Sorry if I’m coming off sounding like a -Yoink!- but I’m tired]

> …Blood Gulch/Coagulation/Hemorrhage… …they are greats maps…

No they aren’t.

All of them are horrible maps for today’s gameplay with hitscan pin point precision weapons.
