'Halo: Combat Evolved' - Update & Screens

by Thomas on Aug. 24, 2003 @ 1:44 a.m. PDT

Over at Microsoft’s Halo PC site they are featuring new screens (also available below) and info on a new map each week. Timberland was covered last week and Gephyrophobia is on tap this week.. Also a new progress report on Halo for the PC is available on bungie.net.

Gephyrophobia

General Description: A misty, murky nightmare of exposed dashes for cover. The enormous 3-lane suspension bridge (note the "tiny" Warthog at the left edge of the image provided) offers excellent attack points ... against players on the lower levels. The balconies on either side of the chasm in turn offer still-better sniper's nests.

At either end of the bridge, intermediate-size networks of tunnels afford base positions and respawn points.

Number of players: 2 – 12

Default vehicles: Warthog
Rocket Launcher Warthog
Banshee

Game types: The bridge offers a natural series of waypoints for race games, while the tunnels provide excellent opportunities for CTF base placement. The series of contrasting exposed and protected points make free-for-all gaming a natural; such widely exposed lands make this map not for the trepidatious.
