Remember bungie day on 2008 when Bungie gave us cold storage for free? I think 343i should do the same as a gift to the fans
Bungie did it for Bungie Day, I doubt 343i would do it, although there is ‘343 day’ on the 343th day of the year, last time we got Avatar, DLC & GoND codes, I’d prefer that.
Considering we’re getting fewer maps at launch than ever, they should give us one free map for every DLC that gets released.

That sounds like a good idea

You’d prefer a slim chance of getting the codes for things such as avatars, DLC and GonD rather than guaranteed getting a free map? Or am I just reading this wrong? I hate code giveaways. People are way too quick for that stuff.
If 343 released a list of 1,000 codes right now for something free and I was the first to spot them I would bet that I wouldn’t get a single code. -_-

One fewer map than Halo 3…

When was this said? How many maps are in the game?

Ten non forge maps, we don’t know how many forge maps there are.

And look how bad and lacking Halo 3’s launch maps were… Guardian and High Ground were the only things that kept basic team slayer alive for me(inb4 The Pit as I think it’s the most over-rated map in an FPS game to this day) and Sandtrap was the only BTB map that I enjoyed. Valhalla was meh… I would have liked Valhalla but I hated that the vehicle combat was dumbed down with the horrible hill placements and gaps and the all mighty laser in mid and the missile pods at both bases. When comparing Halo 3’s maps to it’s predecessors it looks plain sad. It’s also 2 less maps than Halo CE and 1 less map than Halo 2…
Am I the only one that sees the trend with these Halo games…
Halo 1…13 maps
Halo 2…12 maps
Halo 3…11 maps
Halo 4…10 maps
People act like it’s just one or two less maps and it’s not a big deal. Tell me it’s not a big deal when Halo 6 has 8 maps and people will say well… that’s ok since it’s only one less than Halo 5. How about when Halo 13 has 1 map. It’ll be all good because it’s only 1 less map than Halo 12.
The big deal of the 10 maps thing is that BTB peeps will be screwed once again. Even in Halo 2 with 12 maps BTB needed loving through DLC. With 10 maps you can guarantee that most will be focused(and rightfully focused) on the bread and butter of Halo which is 4v4 or 5v5 combat. BTB will end up with 2 maps 3 if we’re reallllly lucky. The small amount of maps never affects people that only play Team Slayer. It’s always the BTB people that get nothing. I hope to god new versions of Halo 4 come with a code to download at least 2-4 BTB maps.
10 maps PLUS additional forge maps. Let’s not make assumptions.

GUARDIAN! PLEASE GIVE US GUARDIAN FROM HALO 3!
yes i agree i want Valhalla back but for it to look kinda ruined and destroyed and with halo chunks floating overhead so it looks like it would after halo 3

I’d love a remix of a previous extremely popular Halo map.
Hmmm…a thread telling 343i they should give us free stuff. Is the entire first Season of Spartan Ops for free not good enough for you?

Forge maps =/= real maps.
I think we’ve all learnt from Reach, Forge maps are small, limited and bland, even the best of ideas turns ugly and repetitive when it’s thrown into forge. Sure, the community can make some good maps, for certain playlists, but to this date there is no good “vanilla forge map” in any Halo.
And, if they can add forge maps, why not put in a few hours more and make real maps instead?
Because those actually take time/effort, and have to be good unlike forge?
Less maps are less maps, no matter what comes down the road.

No it’s not, because it’s replacing a huge chunk of the game. According to 343 Spartan OPs is the reason there’s no Firefight, and also the reason there’s no elites in matchmaking. Giving us weekly minigames is an extremely poor replacement.
