Bungie's "heat map" for Halo 3 |
Ó
Yup, that's how extensive Bungie and Microsoft want this testing because the title, truth be told, is expected to generate truck loads of Benjamins. Anyway, the image accompanying this article is an example of a "heat map" for Valhalla maps. This graphs show the data samples taken during the testing phase.
The red parts of the map represent choke points and hot zones. Bungie refers to maps similar to this to find out where changes to the level's layout, spawn points, or weapon locations need to be made. Think of the red area as blood, meaning a lot of kills have occurred there.
Quite curiously, the heat maps can also be used when balancing weapons. Just like what we said, the said maps also reveal weapon locations and spawn points. With this, Bungie can establish "themes and patterns" of issues with weapons and spawn points.

1. this is a few weeks old
2. that is an alpha heat map, not a beta one.
you should unsubscribe from all your RSS feeds go outside and meet some girls
Wow, I remember seeing this a few weeks ago. You're a little late QJ
As mention above, some of us have lives and don't troll every single site about video games....
I for one, have not seen this before and appreciate the heads up....if you've seen it before, just shut up as you are wasting your time saying "i've seen this before" and frankly, no one gives a ***** about your opinion anyways...
Awesome idea.....it's strange how one base is "hotter" then the other....
every word he said is true, get off ur pc
