I'll just leave this here. Should put some awesome into your boring lives until the poorly written/researched/concieved IGN article comes out.

Promethean Nights, Asslands, and Girth of a Spartan are all canon and should be read as confirmed by M. Dongblain in his latest interview.

DoF in Theater mode it seems.
Is that the spiritual successor to Backwash?

I would watch all these porn movies, especially the second one.

It is available if you change your kindle country setting to USA. (You need a US address)

First impression: Reminds me of Backwash. I'm glad I wasn't the only one when the IGN guy said it too lol.
Other things:
I think that DoF will be part of the Theater Mode. When the camera was just flying around, the effect was very apparent.
The art direction is amazing.
Looks like a fun map.

Functionally it looks pretty cool, not sure about it visually though, the foggy backdrop is a little funky.

I think they might be going in alphabetical order
Sometimes they ship early, I got mine from Amazon yesterday.

Hey, he's not the only one that thought that! But as the video progressed, it was pretty evident that it's not like Backwash at all layout-wise.

Yeah, that was odd, that no response so IGN guy was left rambling along until he can form his talking into a question to break the silence.
Yeah it was an amusing moment. The IGN guy was clearly just talking the overall setting, but the silence cracked me up.
Map looks good, though I probably won't be spending much time on it.
Edit: it occurs to me that we may get the Forge maps shown off this way, along with Forge. Which would be great.
Edit 2: or not. They said "for more on all 10 MP maps...." at end. Alas.

This map looks like a dream for me. And I love quality 4v4 Asymm maps... this could potentially be my new Powerhouse. 
FFA/Regicide on this map will be good times.
Two things that occurred to me watching it: First, if PV is in SWAT, it will be all powerful. Second, I'll still miss my first shot and continue to hate SWAT regardless.
New thought: I'm glad the Night Elves allowed them to build a map in Darnassus.

I kid, I kid. It's the sparkly trees and vines and such.

I really like the number of layers on the new map, not just vertically, but on a 2-D space. I feel like it gives the radar utility, given how big the maps are- but I suspect there will still be uncertainty (w/o PV) of your location w/ all of the trees/rocks/etc.
Maybe third map I could envision 2v2 working as well.

Interesting that Kynan kind of dodged the King of the Hill comment with Regicide.
Agreed I Also think oddball would be great for this map. Plenty of places to set up. Also plenty of ways to infiltrate those set ups.

There's you "MLG" close quarters map.
Looks cool.
EDIT: That's a "Flood" mode map if I've ever seen one. Great aesthetic.

When the IGN guy said that the middle structure would be great for KotH and oddball, I felt like the guy from 343 kinda tried to kinda evade that statement by saying it also works great for regicide. Hopefully, we'll get a confirmation that KotH, assault, 1-flag CTF, etc are returning.
Map looks good. Bit on the big side to be called a small map if you'd go by previous games' standard but it seems to fit with Halo 4's.

Where has he said this stuff? Didn't he work on reach?
Good to see some more variety in aesthetics, got a bit tired of the brightly lit, grassy, canyon maps with white forerunner/human structures on it. Still wish it was a Covenant structure or something, we've seen enough human stuff. Also nice that it seems to be smaller than the other Halo 4 maps we've seen so far, although I'm a bit worried that close quarter power weapons could be a tad too powerful a it. Let's just hope 343 won't give us an abundance of them like Bungie did with Countdown. Hopefully the map is good for Objective gametype, especially 1-Flag, Oddball and KotH.

Wish 343 could make some awesome Covenant themed maps. Always liked the purples with neon lights and cool curves.
Same, I don't really like the look of it either.
Never been fond of the flood looking maps.
Wished we could have seen more actual gameplay on it, but it looks pretty good. Have to play on it obviously to judge it, but I like the art design of it. Something a little bit different. Also I'm glad they mentioned they have a select number of small maps, maybe we'll see at least 1 new small map.
