Foundation is the only map in the ''Halo'' series that must be unlocked. The map was created by Bungie as a remake of the popular ''Thunderdome'' level from ''Marathon'', with the map favoured by Max Hoberman for its four-way symmetry similar to [[Wizard]]. The map's creation was overseen by Hoberman and several other developers as a "skunkworks" project done on the side in their spare time. Ultimately, the map didn't reach the quality bar Hoberman and the team wanted, and was deemed unsuitable for adding into ''Halo 2''. However, the team still wanted to include the map, so made the map's unlock an easter egg of sorts, to justify including the map but not to the same standard as the rest of the map roster.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://youtu.be/9BURsPjNKck?t=3682| | Foundation is the only map in the ''Halo'' series that must be unlocked.
