So multiplayer takes place on a ship....

So does that mean we only play on indoor maps?

The ship sports a simulator of different terrain. What I mean by that is that the Spartans will fight on a variation of maps, but it is all simulated.

I hope they still have outdoor maps

Yep, so basically OP, we will definitely be able to play maps that are simulated outdoors. I can guarantee it.

Think of the Star Trek holodeck.

Dude! You are thinking the wrong way! Think matrix style.

Think of it as “The Matrix”, but for Slayer. There will be a wide assortment of environments, of course.

> I hope they still have outdoor maps

You’re in a “Training Simulation”…

The operative word being “Simulation”…

They could “Simulate” an Infinite Paradox of an ever evolving and shifting Rubix-Cube inside a Super Nova if they bloody wanted to, they’re sure as hell not limited to indoor maps…

> I hope they still have outdoor maps

We will have simulated out door maps.

They fight in the Matrix.

> I hope they still have outdoor maps

Er, they already showed two outdoor maps.

Quite the contrary actually. The ship can simulate any environment so both indoors and outdoors map are entirely possible. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing more outdoors maps though considering that power weapons are supposed to drop down in drop pods from the sky.

> Think of the Star Trek holodeck.

This is probably the best way to explain it, so outdoor areas will most definitely be playable.

Like what everyone has said, the ship (UNSC Infinity) features a simulation area which is capable of creating a virtual version of any terrain!

So essentially it is something like someone said “Matrix” like… Which I also think is a hint at awesome options in forgeworld?

Surely they wouldn’t have something that can virtualise anything in existance and give us plain grey blocks to work with on the same open space?

Yep, because they still haven’t explained what would happen on indoor maps, if there are…
