Production notes
Highpower was initially a "test gym" for Big Team Battle, where developers and testers conducted playtests for BTB. It was made into an actual multiplayer map after positive responses to the map.[2]
The CAS-class assault carrier seen in the skybox of the map is a screenshot of the CAS model created by artist Jared Harris for the Halo-themed fan mod, Sins of the Prophets, whose work is also to be officially featured in the 2022 Halo Encyclopedia.[3][4]
