Erosion is a multiplayer map that is featured in Halo 4 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection. It's intended use is to be used as a Forge canvas, and is one of four such maps to be designed and adapted to Forging. [3]

Universe and lore[edit]

Main article: Eudemon

With hundreds of human colonies now razed in the wake of the Human-Covenant War, the UNSC has dispatched large numbers of advanced pioneer groups to survey potential new worlds. The discovery of Eudemon X49-05 was considered lucky, but concerns remain about the moon’s structural integrity.[4]

Layout[edit]

Erosion is set in an expansive cave system, including a large watery area inside. Part of the map serves as a Grifball arena. A human facility of unknown function resides here. It has multiple path ways, caves, and other areas of the map that can be largely Forged and played on.
