Team Slayer has always been the most popular playlist along side BTB. Now obviously BTB is replaced with Warzone for now, but that leaves us with Slayer. Why are there only 6 maps, no empire, no forge maps? Why not just throw all the eggs in the basket for these playlists?

***Didn’t include BTB maps that sometimes appeared in slayer (Coag, Valhalla, etc). Also, I didn’t play Halo 4 originally so I’m not sure what it came with at launch.
Really no one, guess Reddit only cares
let me ask you this would you have a bunch of maps in a playlist and not working correctly or what we have now and working properly and 343 has long term plans for this game this is just to maintain that the playlists will be stable and not a repeat of MCC
I don’t think it will be a big problem. I think 6 maps are more than enough for team slayer at launch

It’s funny that MCC has apparently dropped faith in 343 so far that people are now willing to accept literally anything from them because hey it could always be worse.
They better hope they -Yoink- this one up too, otherwise it’s going to be way harder to please people come halo 6.
I think it’s worth mentioning that, although previous games had more maps, they also had quite a few maps that made people groan.

But getting back to the topic. In any past Halo this would’ve been more than an issue. But I think simply knowing all additional maps that get added to the game will be free puts people at ease in this situation. Also. I didn’t know Empire wasn’t available for Team Slayer. Something that could easily be changed in a playlist update if it is demanded enough. I’m a little surprised though. I already think it’s going to be one of the most liked. If there was a voting system I’m sure it would be the “Haven” of Halo 5.
I also just noticed that it is in the Team Arena playlist. Looking at how they’ve set up things in the playlists overall. It seems like they want certain maps or map/gametype combos to be unique to a certain playlist, even if it could exist in multiple playlists. Such as Slayer/Empire being in Team Arena and not Team Slayer. An odd approach. But not necessarily a bad one.

Ehh, I think the same 6 maps will get boring real quick.
We will see.
—omits breakout when talking about forge maps. ok

No one cares about Reddit.
6 maps for a playlist at launch is fine. Especially considering we’re getting FREE map packs so that number will increase at no cost to us over the next few months. I’d like to see some of the Breakout maps in other modes though. Don’t see why not.
It’s pretty tragic; in addition to not shipping the BTB maps, the count they pushed in the infographic is also artificially inflated by shipping few of any other map. Oh boy, we’ll get 6 extra maps that bring us up to the total that Halo 3 shipped with at some point! Only 3 map packs to go before we have less content than Bungie had!
Just once, I wish 343 could objectively surpass Bungie in something. Just do better than they could with last gen limitations. I beg you. You sure didn’t do splitscreen better, so I’m still waiting on what exactly it is you shock the world with.

Please don’t bump your thread.
Thanks!
They plan on releasing regular content, some of their wording sounds like a map or so plus REQ Cards will be released every month. There should be a steady stream of content.

The other maps are mixed in different playlists. Slayer is missing Empire and forge. FFA is missing TRUTH, the midship map. I don’t care about new or any future maps that are coming, I’m complaining about why some maps are in the different playlists. If you played H2A or the beta, the rotation of 3 maps in H2A and 4 maps in the beta gold old quick. I don’t mind playing some random forge map like Orion and Pegasus. One of those was actually pretty good, I forgot which one is which.
FYI I’m going to play the hell outta Warzone and Breakout etc, but which playlist am I supposed to grind my rank in when it’ll get old quick.
Can we at least play the game first before we continue to complain about it, it has gone gold so let’s see what we get when it comes out. Let’s stop trying to compare it to previous Halos and see how it stands on its own two feet. Please.

Yeah some of those are definitely DLC maps.

They did surpass Bungie in one thing and that was disappointment(stares at MCC). It is rather baffling that the map count is so low and they left out plenty of core Halo game modes(oddball, KOTH, bomb). Hopefully forge will be decent when it comes. I will be quite busy so the 6 maps probably won’t get that dull for me. I do find the midship remake and remix lackluster though.

They could add more of the maps to playlist post launch and remember 18+ maps are being given to us for free post launch those will also be added to the playlist in there goal to not spread the community into different sections
