I know there are free map DLC coming and I’m loving the game, but I’m really hoping for more emphasis on 4 vs 4 Arena maps. When I say unique, I’m not including forged maps like Orion, Pegasus, and the 5 Breakout maps. Currently there are only about 6 or 7 maps created and uniquely designed by 343i.
Previous Halo games had nearly double at launch…Halo 2 had 12 maps at launch and Halo 3 had 11. I’m counting the big maps like Headlong and Coagulation as well since they did get selected sometimes for some 4 vs 4 playlists as well.
Other than that, I am loving the maps so far…Plaza, Rig, Fathom, Empire, and Truth are all great. I just hope we get to see at least a few more similar ones to those since I’m not to much of a Warzone guy.
Mentioned this earlier too…I would love to see 343 take one map from each previous installment and remake that for Halo 5 with some nice changes.
- Halo 1: Beaver Creek Remix (Similar to Halo 1 with small river in the middle/cliffs/forest area )
- Halo 2: Lockout (make an alternative Lockout Using a desert/sand version. Something like a crashed UNSC ship in the background)
- Halo 3: Guardian (make this a snowy environment resembling the first mission of the campaign for Halo 5)
- Halo 4: Haven (make this a similar forerunner environment taking place in the sky with some visible Guardians in the background)
-
Halo Reach: Powerhouse (It would be awesome to just name this map simply “Reach”…I think this map would work very well with Spartan abilities. It also has a very cool canyon/power center environment look to it.)
All these would be 4 vs 4 and built specifically for Arena. Not to mention some of us would feel right at home with some of these classics.
