Parallax is a Halo 5: Guardians multiplayer map intended for use as a Forge canvas.[1] The map was released as part of the Cartographer's Gift update on December 16, 2015.[2]

Overview

Parallax has no actual terrain, but does have boundary markers which disappear during games.[1] In Forge, players can change the map's skybox to one of four appearances:

Blue Planet

An unknown blue celestial body.[note 1]

Ascendance

Ascendance was added via the Hammer Storm content update on February 24, 2016. This update also increased the map's play area boundaries by 20% horizontally and 45% vertically.[3]

Notes

  1. ^ Although the skybox's name refers to the object as a planet, it may actually be intended to be a star. The lack of a nearby sun to light the supposed planet suggests that the object itself is a sun emitting its own light.
