Haven, originally dubbed Wraparound, is a Halo 4 multiplayer map.[3][4] The map is set in the skies of the Forerunner shield world Requiem, within a facility that powers one of the miniature artificial stars illuminating the interior of the structure.[2] Haven was remade as Mercy in Halo 5: Guardians.[5]
Description
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]
