Here’s a very early concept of a UNSC base and how it might look. When we first started Halo Wars we did a lot of brainstorming about what the UNSC actually felt like as a armed force, what their buildings were like, base layouts, did they build walls, use tents, etc. and the concept team worked on imagining that so we as a team could get on the same page. I can write all I want about how the bases work, but an image says much more than a thousand words here. This image imagines some gameplay elements too, a “parking lot” for vehicles was at one point thought about something we might try and the tightly nit base structures allowed for a lot of beautification thoughts – the roads, lights, fence structures, turrets, etc. and we took a lot from it and those elements are still visible in the game today.
