First Person Shooter Multiplayer Map Deconstruction

Halo 4 "Ragnarok": A new take on the classic "Valhalla" map.













 On this map, each team has a spire that serves as their player and vehicle spawn point. Each spire comes equipped with a Mongoose, Warthog, Mantis, Ghost and Banshee; as well as a selection of weapons. The river provides an unrestricted route between the two bases with advantage of rocky outcroppings for cover. However, those same rocks can be a disadvantage if the player is caught in an attack from above. The north bank has a relatively sparse amount of cover but gives the player access to a turret installation with a unique vantage point. The southern bank provides a dense amount of cover including the remains of a crashed pelican dropship and short cave systems. This route allows for stealthier approaches. The map is separated into two halves to help facilitate an ease of communication between players, with the retaining wall and Pelican remains marking the middle.
