|
| '''Vortex''' is a ''[[Halo 4]]'' [[multiplayer]] map. The map is also featured on three missions of ''[[Spartan Ops]]'', in which it is known as "[[Cyclone]]".<ref name="scattered">'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Scattered|S1E6 ''scattered'']]</ref>
| | ==Description== |
| | | The Forerunner structures which occupy Requiem's equatorial caverns appear to generate power by harnessing its violent squalls. Onsite personnel believe that a full understanding of such a technology would offer the UEG substantial amounts of affordable, clean energy. Nevertheless, its internal mechanisms remain enigmatic.<ref>[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2012/10/25/The-Halo-Bulletin-102512-.aspx '''The Halo Bulletin:''' ''10.25.12'']</ref> |

| The [[Forerunner]] structures which occupy [[Requiem]]'s equatorial caverns appear to generate power by harnessing its violent squalls.
