While many will never see its resemblance, Hazard is loosely inspired by one the worst Halo maps of all time, CHIRON TL-34. Chiron consists of nine chambers and features the largest number of teleporters in all of the Halo series multiplayer maps, with around 14 two-way teleporters on the map. Chiron left a terrible taste in the mouths of the community and made itself historically known for its campy and repetitive gameplay. If you found yourself being chased by another player, run towards a teleporter and throw a grenade before you enter it.

From the maze like layout to frustrating gameplay, both Solo Xlll and Sethiroth set out to achieve the impossible, to make 'Chiron' a great map. The teleporters were completely removed and Chiron's body parts were sewn together to create a more holistic and connected atmosphere. This incredible forge duo have been collaborating on projects together since Halo 3 and they haven't stopped yet! Hazard challenges our existing preconceptions of an existing design and succeeds to create a memorable and enjoyable experience. The gameplay reinforces team work and coordination as the power ups and weapons dictate flow. If there's one way to describe the gamplay on Hazard, its 'control' and you better be the one pulling the strings! We commend your experimental efforts and challenging yourselves in such a way that it drives inspiration to all of us.
