The image fits the official description perfectly, with four visible walkways leading to the central structure, which has two levels. It's also purple. >_>

Decorators and detail have brought subtle differences to each of Purple Reign's symmetrical bases. One base of this open-air arena could end up getting called "Energy side" and another call-out could end up "Hunter side." Geometrically, Purple Reign is built on a bowl, with some gentle concavity on the floor space, dotted with columns for cover. Four elevated walkways converge in a small bi-level center structure that sports a cache of important items.

I'm pretty sure that's a Halo 2 campaign level, but eh.

[JDMFSeanP]

Lies, those monitors are too new for them to have had them when Halo 2 was in development.

[Tural]

I don't recall any instance of a central, bi-level platform connected to four walkways, exactly as described in the PR description, in Halo 2's campaign.

The evidence is undeniable.

And I agree, it doesn't look like Halo 2 Campaign.

High charity (it's been a long time bt I believe it is at the top of the anti gravity tube).
I could be wrong though

[Tural]

It's certainly not that area, or really very similar at all.

[xbox]

your right, its not high charity, its Gravemind.
It's not actually from halo 2. I guess they are just re-making that area.
youtube link - starting at 2:47. Too bad it is a speed run and you barely get to see it but it is definitely similar.
The picture in the middle reminds me of the teleporter exit on Gemini.

Similar, but not the same. The image in the article is of a map which nearing finish. It is textured and the geometry is looking in its final stages. It is very unlikely they made such a dramatic change between the article's picture and the final product. In addition, the timing of the image and the content of it serves to show that it is very unlikely that it is Halo 2-era work.

Because they're in very similar locations, both within High Charity.

A little offtopic, but does anyone know what TV that is? I know its a Samsung but the exact model anyone?

[xbox]

I guess they are just re-making that area.

Also, for my comment about the second picture, I am talking about the teleporter behind the beam rifle. The tower that the exit teleporter is in looks just like that as far as I can remember.

..... Or it could be the entrance to a tunnel.

Objection. There is no Beam Rifle as far as I can see..
And I know what you're talking about, so why are you clarifying to me?

Veegie has a very similar one if I recall correctly. I'll go check the PYSUT.

[JDMFSeanP]

I think I found it.

Samsung LNS2352W

Only 720p and not that great of a picture, so nevermind

Your complaining about my speculation while his talking about that?
(I was talking about the beam rifle on Gemini in front of the lower middle teleporter)

[Tural]

Yep. His question prompted the model number, which can then be checked for manufacturing date. By the way, it was made long after Halo 2, thus indicating it is Halo 3 work being done, as previously touched on in the thread.

Oh.

[xbox]

After my first post I watched the video that I posted, and saw the are that they (are) re-creating that are for halo 3.

[xheadshotmastax]

if this is purple rain, all their talk about the maps "getting polished and ready for release" is just shit... i bet they have all DLC Multiplayer maps already done. They just wanna wait until people dont like the maps anymore and want new. Good money income... give the dog the same food until he spits it out.

I'm aware. I wasn't addressing it in response, just in general.

[JDMFSeanP]

Whoever quoted my post I'm talking to myself about what the white HDTV was, nothing about this thread.

Or I'm just extremely confused reading what xbox wrote

[Tural]

xbox was addressing me, using your quote as support for his question. He was saying "You're worried about my posts while JDMFSeanP is talking about something off-topic?," hence my response in why I participated in your search.
