Map Overviews and Heatmaps

Games Other Halo
1

I would be most grateful if we could get map overviews for the maps in multiplayer, especially in Warzone (since these maps cannot be edited in Forge or played in custom games). When reviewing film to try taking screenshots ourselves, the ceiling limit is very low on the camera, not giving us the space we need to take an overhead shot (and breaking out of the camera view makes the map disappear - forcing me to stitch together pieces of map that look like doo-doo as a result of non-euclidean geometry).

Heatmaps would also be very helpful, but the map overviews are really what we need.

After a while of playing, you can guess where heated areas of nearly every map will be, especially warzone assault.

I find after watching streams, playing the game and other arena game knowledge, you can kinda visualise the heat map, I know it sounds wierd haha.

Watching streams takes far longer than quickly viewing a heat map. I thought it was useful to see where one dies and kills the most. Let’s me change my habits without sifting through hours of gameplay footage.

Yeah, I generally know what a heatmap is going to look like, however looking at the aggregates for all players is helpful.

Again, the heatmaps would just be a sweet bonus; what I really would like are proportional map overviews that I can import to something like Tacnet.

They would be very helpful to create mapguides for callouts and strategies, yes there are groups of people who do that. I remember Halo 3 had overview maps from all of them.
Doing alot of screenshots and stiching them together just doesn’t di it justice enough,
Please 343i provide them , for a more lively Halo community.

Yes please do it 343. It worked very well for Halo 3 and it really helped me to learn from past mistakes and develop good strategies.

Please 343

It’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but this site has overview maps of the first three Warzone maps (no Assault variants though).

I would like 343 to release more overviews.

These are great, thank you for this. I’m definitely going to use these for now. I’d still like to have to-scale, official overviews, 343! :slight_smile:

yeah that would be cool but it is not a priority

I would also like heatmaps. Concidered making overview maps and, as OP stated, realized the ceiling wouldn’t allow for it.

Based on the post 343i made about team colors, they have kill/death heatmaps already. Implementing them into Waypoint would be awesome.
