Halo 4 Multiplayer Map Revealed

Halo 4 Multiplayer Map Revealed

Take a step inside Longbow

Written by Mr J Muffin on 29 June 12 at 19:52

Who here likes playing in the snow? Who among us enjoys playing Halo multiplayer? If you answered yes to either of those, I've got some good news for you. If you answered yes to both, then do I have some especially good news for you. 343 Industries has revealed one of the multiplayer maps to be featured in their upcoming game Halo 4. Titled "Longbow", it's a classic snow-filled Halo map, continuing the tradition of the series. Here is 343i's official statement:

From Sidewinder to Containment to Snowbound to Avalanche, Halo has a long multiplayer map history speckled with various virtual snow-filled expanses. That history continues into Halo 4 with Longbow.If you're into the behind-the-scenes kind of stuff with maps and whatnot, you can check out the entire blog post here.

343i wouldn't leave us hanging with just a name and some details, of course, so they posted some screenshots of the new map as well:

Longbow 1

Longbow 2

Longbow 3

Longbow 4


For those of you interested in the overall progress of the game, 343i has said on their blog that Campaign is playable from start to finish, albeit with a few bugs and some work still needing to be done, with Spartan Ops in a similar state. Halo 4 is due out for a worldwide release of November 6th, 2012.

I might pick this up later. I just hope it's different to Reach, I didn't enjoy that as much as the others.
If at first you don't succeed; Call it version 1.0

Looks like that Invasion map from Reach DLC.

I can dig it, that was a fun (and very rare) map.

As long as there are no Forge World maps, which was like 50% of the map rotation in Reach, then looking forward to good maps.

this looks like a really good map, like all the twists and turns and the movement on the map for the warthogs :P

Well at least they are actually putting effort into their maps this time around instead of just using Reach's forge mode to make 3/4 of the maps in Reach.

They do not have any hogs in slayer. Vehicles were typically in the big team game types, and maybe some invasion maps too.

DwightKxSchrute said:Well at least they are actually putting effort into their maps this time around instead of just using Reach's forge mode to make 3/4 of the maps in Reach.True.

Dimehag said:Hope this is better than reach.Agreed, but I also think the Reach multiplayer went severely downhill when Bungie stepped out. 343 arbitrarily began hacking away at multiplayer option to promote maps for Anniversary (which I thought were TERRIBLE with an exception of maybe 1).

If 343 wants my cash, they better earn it. I want multiplayer map options, I want the concept of spawn-camping completely removed, and I want stupid loadouts removed from the multiplayer completely.

And I want them to make my brain implode due to the degree of awesome. Make it happen 343.

Looks festive.

Only got into Halo from time to time back in the day, but being an Xbox 360 owner now, Halo 4 seems like a good place to step in again.
Oh, they love us American boys.

They did not have any vehicles in slayer which was a big disappointment. You could find vehicles in the BTB, Invasion, and occasionally the Objective playlists. In addition you could get Rocket Hog Race in the MultiTeam playlist. Action Sack occasionally has some random maps/gametypes that will include vehicles and a few of the DLC related hoppers had vehicles on some of the maps as well. And lastly there is always Firefight which has vehicles on at least 3 maps (2 of those maps are DLC and there are actually 4 total but one of those literally only has "forklifts" haha)

Just thought I would that info out there in case you ever wanted to use vehicles in Reach's MP. Hopefully I wasn't too big of a **** about it laugh
