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. | According to [[343 Industries]], the map's setting and aesthetic went through a number of iterations before the decision to use a Forerunner theme.

*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.
