Nice job 343/Certain Affinity. Castle map pack is right now the most downloaded add on. Good maps = good sales and you guys deserved it.

They are not Pre-made. 343i and Certain Infinity startd drawing up concept for the maps a bit before release to allow for the release schedule to be fast and concise.
I loved all the DLC, and I hope people buy it when it gets a price cut this friday because I am so tired of Vanilla every time I play halo…

Debbie Downer…
Huh well wasn’t expecting that.
I played it on monday… it was always 4 vs 4… so i stopped playing the new DLC. Good maps, but to big for a 4 vs 4… i hope they will change that…
It has gone up to 6 vs 6 now, iAm deVerdeler!

Great! I was planning playing battlefield today… plans have changed haha
The maps are decent. However Majestic is EASILY the best and most solid map pack for this game. Majestic added 3 AMAZING maps to the game. The other two map packs added maps that are decent but not incredible.

Got to say I agree.

I wouldn’t say there premade. Developers could have art and stuff being developed and yes they could have a map in the works with the Tarp and stuff set up but that doesn’t exactly mean that it was completely finished when the game was released. Your basically saying that they were finished with the game as soon as they showed you concept art which really doesn’t reflect how the map is built or played. As shown with the majestic map pack they obviously weren’t ready/done and even if they were that would possibly mean that majestic and possibly this would of sucked as bad as the first DLC. I really think this is just false accusations on your part.

Gotta agree here too, Monolith and Skyline are Fricking Awesome. Landfall is good for a asymmetrical map. I must admit I was dubious about castle when they said it was optimised for vehicular combat but they play brilliantly. Daybreak probably one of the best maps from any Halo game CTF is beast on this map. Perdition is good, kinda like a spiritual successor of Turf. Outcast isn’t bad, but gotta get the wraith/mantis fast other wise you get Destroyed.
Overall im happy with all the DLC for Halo 4 so far, here’s hoping they release more as these came out so quick after release date, fingers crossed for Anniversary 2 Map Pack, That would rock!!
LOVING this new map pack. These are the Halo 4 maps that feel the most like Halo 3 to me.
They’re asymmetric but play like arenas. So good.
This is a totally worthy follow up to Majestic. I suppose Crimson is the weakest of the bunch although I enjoyed when playing BTB.
Keep up the great work guys.
I’m definitely loving the Castle Map Pack. I feel like I’m playing Halo again, especially when I’m playing a game without Infinity Settings.
Perdition is probably my favorite, it reminds me of Headlong and Terminal in some ways, and also of New Mombasa in ODST Campaign. I love the urban environment and spaced out areas. Daybreak is good too, great for CTF, which I just finished playing, and it was just plain fun. Especially because there was no personal ordnance. I really like Outcast too, but the Wraith and Mantis can be overwhelming.
Overall my favorite map pack, with each map pack release, they just got better and better.
Will be tempted to buy the pass when this price drop happens. I am concerned I’m not going to be able to find any games on the maps though.

This isn’t that much of an issue alot more people have the maps then you think im always playing maps from all 3 DLC, I hope they go the way of H3 and make certain playlist’s DLC required. It’s needed and with the maps being reduced in price this week, we should see a increase in people having them. Which in turn will increase the chances of getting the maps when playing
I am not pleased this map pack. I don’t have a problem with the maps, my issue is with the playlists. Adam I the only one that heard the “big team” buzz around these maps? Am I the only one that watched the video walkthrough (from the developers) and heard them say how slayer games would play out? Sure they mentioned Daybreak was great for CTF, but there was a lot of talk about slayer. Now I find that big team battle doesn’t have 1, not one castle map! Are you kidding me? This needs to change. I don’t want to play team snipers or swat on these new maps. CTF will be fun when my CTF friends get online, but BTB needs variety beyond Exile, Ragnarok, and the occasional Longbow. People make your voice heard, let 343 know this needs to change.

How are they pre-made? They were indev when the game came out, but they weren’t finished. How’s -Yoink!-, anyway?
