Well, I'm not much of a speculator of W/E but this week, while reading the new update, something just kinda hit me and I had to share it. A paragraph towards the end says this:
A bunch of the artists, including of course our multiplayer SWAT team, are just finishing up a 48 hour "lovefest", time dedicated to polishing a handful of multiplayer maps. It's amazing what 48 hours of relentless man love will do to a level.Steve Cotton, the newest member of our multiplayer art team, was just showing me the purple underbelly of a CENSORED, one of our multiplayer levels for the upcoming milestone. I can hardly believe this is the same kooky level I sketched over a year ago in Illustrator, it looks so damn good. Right smack in the middle of the map is an area that I'm convinced, once combined with a little magic that Adrian snuck in for me waaaay back, will be the ultimate King hill. Not for those with weak stomachs though. Too bad we're not working on King of the Hill right now, I can hardly wait! In the meantime Carney has taken our very first ever Halo 2 multiplayer map (also the map that's gone through the most complete revisions ... lovingly dubbed "Space Toilet" in its youth) and turned it into a real treat. Our goal from day 1 with this map was to capture some of the fun of an old favorite Marathon map, Mars Needs Women. It's looks absolutely nothing like that map, but people keep telling me that it feels like it. Awesome! Not only does it play great, once they get the "neighborhood" in this map is going to look incredible!
Well, I decided to think about exactly what he CENSORED and I have some to this conclusion. It is a new covenant ship, one of those big ones maybe a battleship or a carrier. We may have seen this ship previously (first Halo 2 teaser?) but they won't tell us the name yet. My point is this: Using the CENSORED in the same proximity of "multiplayer" "underbelly" and "not for those with weak stomachs" leads me to believe that a multiplayer level will be on the bottom of a huge covenent ship which is, of course, in space.
I know, I know its farfetched, but well I figured Max got his thread closed because of the "Grunt" so maybe I won't look as dumb as I would have. (No 'fense Max :cheers: It did look like a grunt).
So let's hear it...
