Nice find!

Finally! A small, decent Team Slayer map!

OH GAWD!
Gonna wait till they upload it to youtube, the IGN video player is just …TERRIBLE!

Looks a lot darker and moodier than something like exile which is really cool. And If I’m not mistaken its the second or third map we’ve ever had that takes place at dusk (or at least looks like its dusk in the footage). I wonder if this is one of the forge pallets we were promised.

The freaking Thruster pack and melee at the beginning was awesome.

‘No that’s just SolacoooooOOOOOOHNEWMAP!’ -My first thoughts.

I’m not really a fan of the look, but I really like the layout. Well done 343!

This map looks terrible, gameplay-wise. I guess I should expect that, though, considering they freaking made it with Flood in mind.

When are maps going to be made with actual competitive gametypes in mind? CTF? Slayer? No, we get maps suited for Flood and Grifball.

The entire bottom half of that map looks terrible. It’s just a bunch of rocks with crates. It feels compact, like every turn is a new danger.

> Looks good!

From the overall look and atmosphere of the environment it looks like a good place to run into some flood (or play some flood). I am also curious to see find out what those creatures are that we’re quickly shown towards the end.

I’m getting a guardian meets Beaver Creek feel.

Reminds me of backwash with all them trees and the center circular base, but yay a 4v4 map.

Exactly, and look how Backwash turned out…worst Halo map in history.

How do you get maps suited for Grifball out of that?

Haven is one of the best looking maps I’ve seen in a long time, even Adrift (In my opinion) is a great competitive map.

Has sort of a Gaurdian feel and look to it. Me likey :slight_smile:

Youtube Link, if anyone’s interested.
