Halo 4 multiplayer map Warhouse introduced with concept art
Warhouse may be just a mining spaceship, but so was the Ishimura
Halo 4 details are precious, as fans of the franchise ponder the game's development shifting from Bungie to 343 Industries. The return of Master Chief is of course the focus of most gamers' curiosity, but 343 is unlikely to divulge much there. Multiplayer, however, is a more open topic of discussion. And so the multiplayer map "Warhouse" was introduced on the Halo Waypoint today.
Designed for the game type Slayer, Warhouse has a focus on close quarters combat. Utilizing the many corridors and over/under pathways throughout the map will be the key to success. Though if you're not a fan of close quarters gameplay, 343 says Warhouse might have something appropriate for you as well.
Regarding its lore, Warhouse is a space-platform designed for gas mining. This allows the developers to play with gravity and orientation, without creating a setting that's beyond belief. The structure is said to be entirely, "man-made," taking inspiration from oil refineries and aircraft carriers, but also cartoon and film style giant mechs. Whether Warhouse is truly "man" made, or perhaps "Forerunner" technology is a question worth pondering.
Check out the concept art 343 provided below, and look forward to more Halo 4 information leading up to the game's holiday 2012 release.

Hopefully 343 doesn't push the graphics to far or they get the go ahead from MS for a PC version.
The graphics do look to be an improvement over Reach. It's hard to say if they're pushing it too hard or not. I do know it's now truly 720p unlike before. That could be a sign that they've optimized the game greatly over Reach.
