Several ideas were explored but eventually scratched during the development of the Crimson Map Pack. These three maps were tentatively named '''Jewel''', '''Sentinel Factory''' and '''Infinity Engine'''. The latter was likely related to [[Invasion (Spartan Ops)|the same location]] in ''[[Spartan Ops]]''.<ref>[http://goranbukvic.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/i-finally-got-green-light-to-post-some.html?view=mosaic '''Goran Bukvic''': ''I finally got the green light to post some concepts I did for HALO 4 - Crimson Map'']</ref>
