Amy Heiden Photography

I came across Amy's site while looking at interesting pictures of decaying buildings. She had some really nice pieces that I found wonderful to look at. I particularly enjoyed her Cold War era shots because I spent so much time researching similar sites for the Black Ops maps Grid and Crisis. Im going to add her site to my references section so that I can check back on it periodically!

PAX 2011

In the better late than never category, here are some pictures from PAX 2011. I had never been to this show before, and I didnt know what to expect. It was fantastic! So much more fun than E3. Crimson Alliance showed really well and we had a lot of fun putting it in the hands of the many gaming enthusiasts we met. Here are some pics from the show of various folks playing the game!

Damnation preview for the Halo Anniversary release!

Here is a video of the work of our very talented art team!

Soviet Military Map meets Half Life 2

It never ceases to amaze me what lengths fans will go to... A fan of Half Life 2 created a Soviet Military style map of the fictional City 17. I love the aesthetic of the Soviet stuff and I really enjoyed Half Life 2 so the combination is perfect for me. Of course I cant read any of the labels, but Cyrillic is just cool looking so I dont mind...

Gruesome Cover Art

I was doing a similar looking head for the BlackOps Commie Zombies level that I was working on. The joke was going to be that there would be a number of Cosmonaut helmets on a table and one would still have a head in it! Unfortunately we ran out of time and I didnt get to finish....with this shot as reference I might have to go back and knock it out!!! The picture comes from a really cool blog called Monster Brains!!
