So we’ve battled in canyons, deserts, space, and frozen wastelands. I think its time we had a under water map. Im thinking maybe a sea-lab, tight corners, and maybe a energy barrier that allows us out in some corral reef type battlezone. I would also think it’d be cool to look out a window and see some massive alien whale swimming passed the base.
Anyone else like the idea of an underwater map?

Yes, or, fight IN a giant alien whale lol.
If it can be done in a way that uses the aspect of the water to the player to provide an element to the gameplay then sure. If it’s just a map with open rooms and corridors like any other map then no. I’m thinking like scubadiver fights.
That would be amazing.

thats why i added the energy barrier- corral reef idea, just think of something like the maps on halo reach where you could go out to in space. i think if we could use the same thing for an underwater map it would be pretty halo-esque to me
Sure. I bet there are some underwater forerunner facillities on the planet-thingy.

Agreed, now I don’t know how it would work for elites since they can’t breathe under water to my knowledge, nor do we know if Forerunners are going to be a playable race and if they can survive even slight pressure.

Well the elites survive space in Reach. Why wouldn’t they be able to survive water?
Well i dont think it would work because spartans tend to die instantly under water.
Lol just kiddin. Thats be a fine idea.
Why not? 
I would love to see some underwater maps like that from Halo 2’s campaign, it would really add to the game, and give a good feel to the Forerunner’s building skills.
Also, I think it’d be cool if the map was half underwater, half above, like, you have a map like Prisoner, the first 3 levels of the map is in a building underwater, and the top level is on the surface of the lake/sea, and you can kind of see the upper levels from the bottom levels.
Yes!
Sounds good to me, fighting under water would be pretty cool. Imagine the Flood getting involved in that fight and infecting one of those massive alien whales. 
thanks for all the good comments everyone

I’d love so see a map like this on Halo 4. Its an island with two bases and in the middle area there’s an underwater section.

Yeah! Maybe add some weird Flood tentacle appendage thingies to it and have it spew Flood spores out its blowhole too.
The Atlantis of halo? I’m for it, and whoever isn’t for it shall be put down by Poseidon himself!
I love the idea of an underwater map! been wanting one since halo 2
I would love that!!!
