In the video below,Sledgehammer Games’ art director Matt Abbott and design director Zach Hodson discuss the process of modernising the maps while attempting to stay true to their original feel.
“There are places where the metrics of the level are adjusted to fit more modern gameplay,” says Hodson, “but for the most part, it’s going to feel incredibly similar. The biggest changes are in a fidelity sense.”
