New Halo 4 multiplayer map revealed

4.8
343 Industries has unveiled a new Halo 4 multiplayer map; Longbow.

The snow-themed arena was built with the purpose of accommodating Halo 4's new and unannounced game modes, the developer revealed on Halo Waypoint.
"From Sidewinder to Containment to Snowbound to Avalanche, Halo has a long multiplayer map history speckled with various virtual snow-filled expanses," the studio wrote. "That history continues into Halo 4 with Longbow.

"Longbow supports both infantry and vehicle play. On foot, players will notice it's mostly a mid-to-long range map with pockets of close range combat in and around the base structures.

"However, there are plenty of vehicles (currently Warthogs, Mongooses, and Ghosts) and routes through the map that will make fans of vehicular combat happy."

Elsewhere in its latest community update, 343 reveals development on the Halo sequel is entering the final stages.

"The Campaign for Halo 4 is playable from start to finish, with some levels being near complete and others still needing some good, old-fashioned elbow grease (in the form of polish and bug bashing).

"The first several weeks of Spartan Ops find themselves in a similar state, as do the ten multiplayer maps that are shipping with the game."

I mean I guess it looks cool, seems like Halo maps are getting less and less creative each title.

zColdKilla954z Fu**k Bungie, they even said "We want to work on bigger and better things". They believed the series was at its end and didn't believe the next sequel ( HALO4 ) would be much of a success. They could of asked for a new contract to continue to make Halo, but they didn't. They chose a route that they believe would make them more money, just think; they wouldn't have to split the total sales with 2 other companies "Micro Soft Game Studios & 343". Its all about the money and its been like that for a long time; politics, sports, etc. Ask your self this question "Wow I have 2 companies that want to hire me but one pays me an extra $10k a year for the same work and hours!" which one would you pick?


Bungie announced that they wanted to work on "Bigger and Better" things after the release of Halo 3, just a couple of weeks and at the time, Halo 3 was the Biggest Entertainment launch in History, it sold millions of copies on it's first weeks or so, and even at that time when they were racking up the money they didn't want to work on Halo anymore.

They wanted to let it go.

So how could a company that has made 3 successful games in a row, that sold millions of copies of each single game, want to let that franchise go?

It wasn't all about the money.. their video on their Youtube Channel explains a lot about them. It's an hour long video but it's worth the watch, trust me.
