Anyone notice the color pallet for all 3 of these maps are pretty much the same?
Greenish in some areas, dark pale in others. All of them are set outside, partly indoors, partly in natural areas. Every screenshot I have seen reminds me of Abandon with vehicles.
Am I the only one that feels like this? I want color in my map packs! Not the same thing for 3 maps. Not only that, but I would like to see some more vehicleless maps. I know they are trying to give vehicles more of a reason to be in Multiplayer, but we already have half of the sandbox maps in matchmaking already vehicle based. Not only that, but vehicle combat is rubbish because of PP and so many power weapons to destroy vehicles from ordinance. Having the vehicles nerfed from previous games (looking at you scorpion!) and have them made of cardboard (Warthog) doesn’t help either.
Enough about the vehicle rant! Point is, does anyone else see all 3 maps and can’t really tell the difference because they all look the same?
Hopefully 343i makes more diverse maps with more color pallets in future DLC.
EDIT: I also find it incredibly ironic how “Crimson map pack” has almost no Crimson in it at all. At least not from what I have seen anyway.
I think it’s fine and suits it’s purpose and setting. You can always change the colour of maps slightly by using effects. I know it won’t actually change colours, but it’s something.

yup i was watching the video and waiting for footage of the next 2 maps, but they only showed the same old complex-looking buildings + dirt + vehicles.
Considering the only maps that ever get voted are the bright ones Ragnarok, Exile, and Haven I think the topic is warranted. People clearly gravitate to vibrant colored maps in this game.

Completely agree. What happened to maps like Construct? The Pit? Sidewinder? And all these other bright colored maps? Dark maps, believe it or not, somewhat depress me. They have this dark atmosphere that I really don’t enjoy playing as much as I do maps filled with light and vibrant colors.
I only read like the first sentence, but I get what you mean. I would’ve liked to of seen another snow map included in the debut DLC. Can’t get enough of them
