Halo 4 Preview: Echelon, Blindside, and Fracture

[Mike Foster]

Here is a sampling of maps that are either in the testing phases, or under construction.

 

Echelon

 

 

Initially starting as a remake of Xenolith from Halo 3, I changed design direction early on to being mirrored symmetric instead of quad-symmetric.

 

Suitable for mid-sized teams. Also set up for multiteam games. Supports Oddball, KotH, Slayer, Regicide, and CTF. There is also a one-flag version as well.

 

Testing needed: Single/multi flag

 

 

 

Blindside

 

 

The beginning build was meant to be quad-symmetric. But, with a little coaxing from friends against this idea, I went with a quad-symmetric center, and mirrored symmetric outlying bases and structures.

 

Suitable for teams of 5v5 or smaller. Multiteam is also available. Supports Oddball, KotH, Slayer, Regicide, and CTF. One-Flag variant also available.

 

Testing needed: Single/multi flag

 

 

 

Fracture

 

 

All hail Forerunner thingies sticking out of rocks! This remake of my Halo 3 map Frailty is still in the building phases.

Looking good. Wouldn't mind giving these a try once they are ready
