Holy Halo! 'Here & There' map brings NYC to Spartans everywhere
Just yesterday we were marching through the East Village, thinking to ourselves, "Wouldn't it be great if Manhattan were actually a floating ring planet, with no horizon in sight?" And wouldn't ya know it, someone was way ahead of us.
Dubbed the "Here & There" map, Schulze & Webb ltd. has created a horizon-less map of Manhattan (in two views -- uptown and downtown) based on a variety of influences, the least of which being video games. "I don't like the way maps (in-game maps) work in most video games," Schulze says, "I'd love to see a first-person or third-person shooter where the landscape bent up to reveal a limited arc of the landscape in plan over distance." Though we're keen to point out Halo's premise revolving around Mr. Schulze's idea, the map idea he presents is certainly an interesting one. Maybe these two fellas could give Bungie a call and put something together for that Halo 3: ODST we've heard so ... little about lately, eh?
