When Halo 3 shipped it had 11 maps shipped with the game.
Halo 4 has 10 maps plus 3 Forge environments making for a total of 13.
AND add to that Spartan Ops and the inevitable DLC maps we will be getting and that number will just keep going up.
Yeah, the only question is, will the maps actually be entertaining to look at as well as play in?

Hopefully we will see more base maps than those annoying forge maps. In the past 343i have been horrible with their management skills with the way halo 3/reach playlists have been sorted.
The maps we’ve seen so far look beautiful, and everyone that has played Halo 4 has enjoyed them. I’d say there’s no reason to worry for now.
The maps we’ve seen so far, Longbow, Exile, Haven, and Adrift are all very beautiful. The others ones will most likely be good looking as well. They’re not going to leave us with a sloppy job.

They were only annoying because of the annoying, repetitive, boring grey objects. Now we have three different pallets of Forge objects in three environments, with a bit of colour. They’ll be much better, trust me.
10 normal maps + maybe 343i own forged maps for matchmaking.

True but they’ve been devoting almost all of their manpower to Halo 4 though so Reach kinda suffered for it.

Very good point. I hope to see some more unique/interesting-looking forge maps this time around.
