Heatmaps.. I don't get it.
Some tasty maps, either way.

I think they mean "heat" as in where there is something that has heat, like the lighting, while everything else remains dark. Like one of those Predator vision settings?

Heat maps, as far as my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong), represent areas of the map where the most killing and dying are taking place. It has been a while since I looked at them, but I think you can toggle on the maps which weapon you are viewing and whether you are viewing kills or deaths. So you could for instance choose Narrows, select the sniper rifle, and see that the majority of people hang at the back of the map and snipe people from there and so forth.

Heat maps has been a feature over at bungie.net for a while now. It basically displays where the most action has taken place on any given map. It's a pretty nifty thing.

I'm mostly looking forward to Avalanche myself. The only thing I don't get is what is up with that divider-thing in the bottom-center of the map? Don't like that much

With all the new forge options this will be the best!
