Hemorrhage is a direct remake of [[Blood Gulch (level)|Blood Gulch]] from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=27228 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Day "Deja View"'']</ref>. It was first revealed to the public through a ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' [[Red vs. Blue Halo: Reach PSA: Deja View|public service announcement]], requested by [[Bungie Studios|Bungie]] in celebration of [[Bungie Day]] [[2010]], and was thought to be a only a remake of Blood Gulch. The true nature of this map was revealed in the [[Halo: Reach ViDoc: Forge World|Forge World ViDoc]] on July 22, 2010. It began development as five separate maps, which were then combined. Forge World makes use of a new system in the game's engine called impostering that allows very distant objects to be drawn cheaply. It is a giant map consisting of five distinct areas: the canyon area (which is modeled after Blood Gulch), an island, an enclosed space, a small cliff area, and the rock (a tall, corkscrew-shaped island, based loosely off of [[Ascension]]). | Hemorrhage is a direct remake of [[Blood Gulch (level)|Blood Gulch]] from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=27228 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Day "Deja View"'']</ref>.

The canyon is set in a semi-enclosed, symmetrical canyon with a base at both ends, an open field inbetween, and a drying river. It supports vehicles and is recommended for larger teams. Other than the environmental changes, this area of the map is very faithful to the original Blood Gulch, with even the simplest nooks in the canyon walls being remade. The section itself is larger than the original Blood Gulch map, and possesses teleporters reminiscent of those from the maps [[Cold Storage]] and [[Gemini]]. The bases themselves are actual objects placeable and removable through Forge, and can be given a red or blue theme to designate which team it belongs to. | The canyon is set in a semi-enclosed, symmetrical canyon with a base at both ends, an open field inbetween, and a drying river.
