Smokin Shadowz Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Yesterday on Halo Waypoint, 343 Industries revealed the latest map addition to Halo 4‘s multiplayer mode: The snow-covered stage known as Longbow. Basic details: Name: LONGBOW Location: Northern regions of the planet Concord. Description: Located in the northern polar region of the planet Concord, the frigid climate and unique gravitational conditions provide an optimal perch for Longbow Station’s channel-based mass drivers. Before the Covenant War, the UEG launched deep space monitoring relays from here in an effort to study far-flung star systems. As the Waypoint posting notes, there’s a long tradition of snowy stages in the Halo franchise—and that’s something I’ve always loved. I don’t know what it is, but game words that remind me of a winter wonderland have always held a special place in my heart. (Especially now that I’m living out here in California, where we don’t get a flake of snow all year long.) 343 says that the goal of Longbow was to create “a playspace that showcases one of our new (and unannounced) game modes”. Hmm. It’s also noted that Longbow will mostly be a mid-to-long range map, one with support for both on-foot and vehicular action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Des Feux Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 The map looks good, too bad there isn't any E3 footage of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-1609 Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 The map looks good, too bad there isn't any E3 footage of it. Somewhere I hear there is going to be Longbow footage in RTX, I really hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WonderWombat Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Looks like a small version of Avalanche, if it is anything like Avalanche that would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStarRocket91 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Located in the northern polar region of the planet Concord, the frigid climate and unique gravitational conditions provide an optimal perch for Longbow Station’s channel-based mass drivers. This particularly caught my eye - I'll be very interested to see if they do something different with player movement on this map. Imagine the possibilities of the thruster pack in a low-gravity setting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
