A fan favorite
Six maps fromHalo 2are being given preferential treatment whenHalo: The Master Chief Collectionreleases on November 11. The previously revealed ones are Ascension, Coagulation, Zanzibar, Sanctuary, and Lockout. The final map is a bit of a fan favorite — Warlock, which is being renamed as Warlord.
The small, four-way symmetric base is fondly remembered because of its propensity to spur close-quarter, high action matches. The teleporters throughout the map amplify this, as players warp in and out of combat in the blink of an eye.
In itsMaster Chief Collectionstate, Warlord will see a few changes. Among these are more cover, additional skill jumps, and a new weapon that rests in the middle of the map.
Warlord’s roots are deeper in the franchise than justHalo 2. It was an original map inHalo: Combat Evolvedthat was named “Wizard,” and it was remade forHalo: Reachas “Magus.” Regardless of which version fans remember, Warlord will seem familiar, just enhanced, as part ofMaster Chief Collection.
