BLACK FRIDAY
(Featured in Halo 5: Guardians Matchmaking)

Black Friday: Video
Having been recruited alongside a small team of community members, we worked alongside 343 Industry community managers to help create and provide feedback for how we believed the classically beloved Halo game mode, Infection, should translate into Halo 5: Guardians, resulting in my submission: Black Friday.

My design goals were to create a thematically immersive and exciting layout that would pit the zombies and humans unique weapon loadouts against one another in balanced, yet creative engagements.

What sets Infection maps apart from typical arena designs are the inclusion of small safety pockets for the humans known as ‘hold outs,’ which are used to help combat the generally lopsided team sizes as humans begin to convert into zombies upon being killed.

Being one of the maps that the Infection game mode was tested on pre-release, Black Friday was launched alongside the finalized settings, and inducted into the Halo 5: Guardians official Matchmaking Infection playlist. Visually, the original map has become slightly dated, and I have begun working on an aesthetic overhaul in my free time.
