The level known in development as "Tsunami Station" would later | The level known in development as "Tsunami Station" would later go on to be named [[Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion]] in the final game. Early drafts for the level had the mission split into two levels; one focusing on [[Blue Team]] and one focusing on [[Fireteam Osiris]]. Each level would have been slightly shorter than the one featured in the final game, and both would have featured [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]] fighting as an NPC, with the Locke mission showing him fighting in out-of-bounds zones. These iterations of the levels did not progress far into gameplay prototyping, and as such blockouts posted by level designer Jayce Diaz lack proper combat encounter zones.{{Ref/Twitter|Jayce_Face|1452732023211061248|Jayce Diaz|Quote=As I mentioned previously, the Battle of Sunaion level (AKA Tsunami Station) went through a ton of iteration.

This version of Sunaion was more, "Megachurch atop Sea Docks" and didn't really feature an underbelly, but was... |D=25|M=10|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Twitter|Jayce_Face|1452732031398416384|Jayce Diaz|Quote=very layered and played with pits and clamber. The mission lengths would have been a bit shorter than what shipped, though. These spaces didn't have a bunch of encounter design work done (hence the lack of combat spaces that look viable), but I think it would have worked well :-)|D=25|M=10|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Twitter|Jayce_Face|1452732035160690688|Jayce Diaz|Quote=For a million and one dev reasons, this shifted and changed into what we know today as the Battle of Sunaion mission, and I'm immensely proud of the work the entire team did to bring it all together.|D=25|M=10|Y=2021}}{{Ref/Twitter|Jayce_Face|1452732110813294595|Jayce Diaz|Quote=And to think, this level sprouted from me messing around with phantom winds and animating waves :-) Some of this was shown on the documentary series, The Sprint; specifically, Season 2, Episode 1.|D=25|M=10|Y=2021}} | ||
