{{Article quote|ONI personnel remain convinced that these ancient structures somehow harness the planet's torrential wind for power.}}

'''Vortex''' is a ''[[Halo 4]]'' [[multiplayer]] map. The map is also featured on three missions of ''[[Spartan Ops]]'', in which it is known as "[[Cyclone]]".<ref name="scattered">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Scattered|S1E6 ''scattered'']]</ref>

==Universe and lore==
{{Main|Cyclone}}
The [[Forerunner]] structures which occupy [[Requiem]]'s equatorial caverns appear to generate power by harnessing its violent squalls. Onsite personnel believe that a full understanding of such a technology would offer the [[Unified Earth Government|UEG]] substantial amounts of affordable, clean energy. Nevertheless, its internal mechanisms remain enigmatic.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/requiem '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Requiem'']</ref>
