343 Industries has unveiled a new Halo 4 multiplayer map; Longbow.

The snow-themed arena was built with the purpose of accommodating Halo 4's new and unannounced game modes, the developer revealed on Halo Waypoint.
"From Sidewinder to Containment to Snowbound to Avalanche, Halo has a long multiplayer map history speckled with various virtual snow-filled expanses," the studio wrote. "That history continues into Halo 4 with Longbow.

"Longbow supports both infantry and vehicle play. On foot, players will notice it's mostly a mid-to-long range map with pockets of close range combat in and around the base structures.

"However, there are plenty of vehicles (currently Warthogs, Mongooses, and Ghosts) and routes through the map that will make fans of vehicular combat happy."

Elsewhere in its latest community update, 343 reveals development on the Halo sequel is entering the final stages.

"The Campaign for Halo 4 is playable from start to finish, with some levels being near complete and others still needing some good, old-fashioned elbow grease (in the form of polish and bug bashing).

"The first several weeks of Spartan Ops find themselves in a similar state, as do the ten multiplayer maps that are shipping with the game."

Nice name and from that picture, the map looks sick and looks like it'd be a lot of fun playing on with in game combat. I cant wait for Halo 4. I feel like 343 might be able to pull Halo 4 off, but it definitely will not surpass Bungie.

And just looking at it again, the hq pic makes it even more awesome.

It's a doesn't look to be that big, but it definitely doesn't look small, which makes me think that it could be one of the maps that will receive a lot of playtime in online. The map looks like we'll be having a lot of playlist options from Team Slayer, 1 Flag CTF, Snipers, and 1 Way Assault. I haven't been following the updates to Halo 4, as much as I probably should, but I'm definitely looking forward to playing Halo 4 and seeing what Halo 4 has to offer over Halo's before it.
