There are a lot of really cool renders in the articles for the multiplayer maps in Halo Wars, were they created by the community? I was hoping to mess around with the models of the maps and whoever made these would be an absolute lifesaver!

Sorry for the late response. Those renders came from the original HaloWars.com website, back in 2007/8/9. Ensemble did a number of interviews with the map designers - the site is down but we host a backup here.

However, for obtaining maps you'd have to access them from the game files - I'd recommend asking the Halo Wars Modding Discord.

Thank you so much, Baconshelf! I've been wondering about Halo Wars modding too, so this is two birds/one stone situation!
