Universe and lore

Main article: Req

Clouds billow past. The sun is blinding. And your mind cannot even begin to comprehend the monstrous scale of the imposing towers that surround you. As your eyes follow the flowing lines of the Forerunner architecture, your body picks up the implied movement and your mind suddenly asks, “Where am I?” The answer comes to you, a subtle whisper hidden within the whistling of the wind: you’re inside a tower, suspended in the atmosphere….[3]

Many worlds created by the Forerunners play host to vast ecosystems that are ultimately fed by an artificial sun. On the shield world of Requiem, such suns are formed and maintained by a massive grid of harmonic resonance platforms --intricate and powerful structures that are hidden high above the surface of the world and operate in perpetuity in order to ensure it's safety. During the UNSC Infinity's initial scans of Requiem, the technicians captured extremely detailed scans of a number of these structures and, believing that they might be useful during combat situations, sent them to the War Games AI for review and possible integration.[1]

==

The map has two levels, catwalks and ramps surrounding a large space in the center. Around the outer edge of the map, there are circular hallways connecting either to the map's side areas or man cannons that can be used to access the map's central area.[6]

Trivia

  • Certain areas of Haven have sound issues which result in gunshots being heavily distorted - even to the point of being beyond recognition. This is similar to the distortion produced when the player is inside a Regeneration Field.
  • This map is also the setting for the cutscene where the Master Chief speaks with the imprint of The Librarian during the level Reclaimer in the Halo 4 campaign.
  • Haven is 120 meters long.[7]
