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".[3]
Universe and lore[edit]
- Main article: 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 UEG substantial amounts of affordable, clean energy. Nevertheless, its internal mechanisms remain enigmatic.[4]
