Halo 4 War Games footage: New map “Exile”

It’s been described as a cross between Blood Gulch and Sidewinder. I think it looks amazing! In the vid we get to see a “Flagsassination.” I love the animation of this.

Also, it’s been confirmed that you can not drop the flag once you have it, but that you can shoot while holding it. I suspect the reasoning behind this is to keep people from flag juggling. No matter to me. Being able to shoot while holding the flag seems like a good trade off.

Exile looks to be a good BTB style map. Note the Scorpion in the video. I’m looking forward to exploring this map and seeing what can be done with it in Forge. I’m betting it’s going to be a racing map for some forgers.

Sadly, I was not correct in my guess that the next map revealed would start with an “O” to spell out Halo for the maps revealed.  Instead they spell HALE. Ah well, missed opportunity. LOL.
