Check out what I think is a truly amazing BTB map!<\/p>\n

[UPDATE] Looks like IGN wasn’t supposed to release that vid yet. So the vid link was removed. I’ll repost it here when it becomes available again.[\/UPDATE]<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love the design! Lots of places to run about, not just on vehicles, but on foot. So much detail in the vid. I wish they would have just stopped a few times so I could see the areas clearly, instead of a blurred motion. (Even pressing pause doesn’t get rid of the blur in most cases…)<\/p>\n

But it’s not the quality of the video I want to talk about. It’s the quality of the map. Many places to hide behind if you’re on foot. Tunnels abound as well as bases to infiltrate. I like the more subtle Red Vs Blue natural tones of this map with the Snow and Mountain sides of the map. I see this being a great map for objectives and yes for sniping, though I’m not prone to pick that game type.<\/p>\n

Without a doubt this is yet another hit for 343. So long as the spawns are worked out well, I can’t see how anyone would dislike Meltdown.<\/p>\n

Screen shots and a further analysis of the map to follow later today.<\/p>\n

Thanks to The Halo Council for posting a link on Twitter.<\/p>\n
