Alright you guys, finished coloring and shading it. Fairly good for MS Paint, if I do say so myself.

[QUOTE=Bulletin]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.
Longbow
From Sidewinder to Containment to Snowbound to Avalanche, Halo has a long multiplayer map history speckled with various virtual snow-filled expanses. That history continues into Halo 4 with Longbow.
The goal of Longbow was to create a playspace that showcases one of our new (and unannounced) game modes. Early in development, we considered several options, including making it something like a big Arecibo-type telescope built into a valley.
We experimented with having extremes of Fire and Ice on opposite sides, but ultimately decided a glacier theme fit better with the spectrum of themes from other maps. The look and feel really took off from there to be distinctive and atmospheric.
We wanted a big engineering effort that connected to the war or the resources needed for the UNSC, so when looking at the designers’ initial idea for the map from the top, we began thinking of a Y-shape or loop shape that accommodated this single big machine—a magnetic launcher that works on similar principles as a MAC Cannon. It was an interesting case of trying to make a symmetrical map area feel natural and almost accidental, while still telling an epic sci-fi story.
We then had to develop solid visual markers so the players could understand where they were. Each side is a very similar plan and path, but distinct enough to get a peripheral sense of being in a distinct "zone" in the map.
At one point, we flipped the direction of the entire map. The center building of the launch facility moved north to be a better landmark, pointing the launcher's arms out over the ocean. It’s much cooler to look at, and better for the players' orientation.
Longbow supports both infantry and vehicle play. On foot, players will notice it's mostly a mid-to-long range map with pockets of close range combat in and around the base structures. However, there are plenty of vehicles (currently Warthogs, Mongooses, and Ghosts) and routes through the map that will make fans of vehicular combat happy.
If you’re planning on attending RTX, you can let us know what you think of this particular map then.[/QUOTE]
Good god that map is beautiful.

I missed the snow maps
Low res images make things look better than they are, keep this in mind.

Yeah, but we already know how beautiful Halo 4 is. About time they shown off Long Bow to the public, it was shown off behind closed doors at E3, I didn't get to play it but I it was played in one of the playtests I sat in on.

I find it pretty incredible what they've been able to eek out of a 7 year old system.
Have you seen what they did what the Source engine
Yeah, but the fact that they're able to get stuff out of hardware is incredible. The Source engine is still software, and has undergone changes. For the most part, the 360 is almost identical to its launch spec.
at this point they're squeezing water out of a rock

It's mostly just software advancements and visual shortcuts, have nessasary visuals fully rendered on screen and whatever is out of your FOV is not.
The FOV culling thing is normal (The graphics card doesn't render outside of the view anyway, it's also the engine not asking it too). Using it as a performance enhancement is why console games often have lower FOVs than the PC versions (Unless the PC versions are just ports, in which case they have the small FOV as well)
Had everyone but one guy quit in a Squad DLC match. Me and my friend jumped around with him as he captured the flag. It was awesome.

Found my mic, send me an invite whenever you're ready.
I really need to change my gamertag, i'm tired of all the "bros" making retarded Cave Johnson references like I haven't heard them 300000 times before.
