| '''Steve Cotton''' is a Game Director at Bungie that has held many roles during his time there. As a Lead [[Multiplayer]] Map Designer working on Halo 2 & 3, he created many fan-favorite multiplayer maps such as ''[[Midship]]'', ''[[Zanzibar]]'', ''[[Sanctuary]]'', ''[[Ascension]]'', ''[[Coagulation]]'', ''[[Beaver Creek]]'', ''[[Standoff]]'', ''[[High Ground]]'', ''[[Valhalla]]'', ''[[The Pit]]'', ''[[Guardian (map)|Guardian]]'', ''[[Narrows]]'', ''[[Waterworks]]'', ''[[Colossus (map)|Colossus]], ''[[Containment]]'', & ''[[Ghost Town]]''.<ref name="bnet">[https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=2633 '''Bungie.net''': ''Work at Bungie: Multiplayer Map Design'']</ref> He is also credited for the conception of ''[[Forge World]]'' in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.<ref>'''''[[Halo: Reach]]'' [[ViDoc]]: ''[[Halo: Reach ViDoc: Forge World|Forge World]]'''''</ref>

| ''[[Zanzibar]]'' was the first multiplayer map that Cotton worked on at Bungie along with [[Chris Carney]]. It was done in 6 weeks ahead of E3 in 2004. It was specifically designed to showcase the new content and game mode in ''[[Halo 2]]'' and showed off an assymetric capture-the-flag mode, dual wielding and vehicle boarding. ''[[Midship]]'' was Cotton's second map, that he built following E3. He continued to work on the other ''[[Halo 2]]'' maps through the rest of development. Sanctuary was the first level created post ''[[Halo 2]]'' and the original layout was done on a literal napkin. The setting was inspired from the campaign level Delta Halo.

| Cotton created the map ''[[Forge World]]'' during ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' development when asked to create multiple maps quickly near the end of development. This lead to several pre-built maps as well as a playground for user generated content.
