Part of the structures in the playable space is also partially covered in sand. | The playable area itself is an observation platform, barely sheltered from a [[Portal storm|storm]] raging just outside, creating a whirlwind of dust and debris around the center of the portal.

*The map's name references the 1952 western film ''[[Wikipedia:High Noon|High Noon]]''.

* | *According to [[343 Industries]], the map's setting and aesthetic went through a number of iterations before the decision to use a Forerunner theme. For the map, [[Certain Affinity]] and 343 Industries' Franchise team did a significant amount of exploration on the architecture and mechanics of Forerunner technology.<ref name="bulletin"/> | ||
*According to gameplay footage found on YouTube and 343's website, it appears that the red base and blue base have been switched. | *According to gameplay footage found on YouTube and 343's website, it appears that the red base and blue base have been switched. | ||
*It is to be noted that while on [[Forge]], the cubic Forerunner objects seemingly planted in the ground are known as "tombstones", meaning that there is a possibility that this is a Forerunner burial ground. Alternatively, it might be a reference to the ''[[Halo 2]]'' remake of ''Hang 'em High'', ''[[Tombstone]]'', or the description of the original Hang 'em High, which read "tombstones for everyone". | *It is to be noted that while on [[Forge]], the cubic Forerunner objects seemingly planted in the ground are known as "tombstones", meaning that there is a possibility that this is a Forerunner burial ground.
