If you’ve listened to the 343hype train and heard that h5 will be shipping with 20 maps compared to when halo 4 shipped with only 11, and your thinking “wow there’s going to be so many maps I’m never going to get bored” then u might want to think again.
Halo 4 shipped with 11 maps but those maps were spread out over only 2 game types.
Standard slayer and BigTeam.
Halo 5 on the other hand will ship with 20 maps that will need to spread out over 4game types.
BreakOut
Standard
Big Team
And an unknown game type which is probably a bigger big team type map.
that’s only 5 maps per playlist until June 2016!
So in reality, EACH playlist will feature about the same amount of maps that halo 4 did.
So if your playing standard 4v4 slayer then don’t expect to feel like ur going to have a larger than every variety of maps to choose from pro longing the amount of time it’s going to take before u get bored of 4v4. Because when u finally get to play the game ur going to quickly realise that u won’t feel like standard slayer has any more maps that halo 4s version did. And it’s going to disappoint you!
Well you are forgetting about forge maps , there was two in the Beta and they were pretty good.
I would not be surprised if Halo 5 launches with a few Forge maps ready as well but I guess we will have to wait and see.
No forge maps will probably come later.
I would be very angry if forge maps came as part of the 35 maps. Forge maps should not be a part of the 35 designed maps. ESPECIALLY not part of the the first 20 anyway.

I honestly wouldn’t give a -Yoink-. If a maps good its good! Also Reach had some really good forge maps for multiplayer!

No. I mean 35 maps + Forge maps, seems like plenty to me.
Pretty sure the 35 maps will be actual maps made by 343.

Yea Reach had some pretty amazing forge ones , Hemorrhage was awesome.
35 maps is a lot more than you think it is. A lot of will cross over into other playlists. It isn’t going to be 5 for this playlist, 5 for that playlist. And then 15 more get added in plus forge from the community and 343. I think the maps will be fine.

This. The breakout maps weren’t exlusive to the breakout playlist. The breakout maps may double as small maps. Thusly, they will be broken into the usual categories: small to mid sized teams and mid to large sized teams.

sees 343 doing something good gets high and thinks of way to make it a bad thing in all seriousness though, heres 343 working their butts off to put more maps in the game and we have people putting them down for it.

Breakout maps aren’t actual maps though, at least not if the Beta is any indication.
The breakout maps are forge maps. Not developer maps, I’m pretty sure.
No new maps until June of '16 is missinformation. They clearly said the map dlc will be free and they will have maps coming out through to June next year. First map pack will probably be in Dec or Jan.
First of all, the game is shipping with OVER 20 maps. There might be 20 developer maps and the two breakout and forge maps in addition. Second, I’m pretty sure this new unannounced game mode is going to be like big team battle on steroids so if that’s the case, big team battle probably doesn’t even exist in the game. And if this huge game mode is really that big, then there will probably only be like 3 or 4 maps for it. So now we’re talking like 16 maps for slayer and breakout and 4 for the new game mode
The only real POSSIBLE negative to the 20 launch maps is that a good chunk of them are likely remixes. And as anyone who was in the Beta knows, the remix maps are essentially other maps, just remixed into something different, but similar.
For example, you had Truth which was inside a Covenant Assault Carrier stationed near a Halo installation. It was completely intact, had a bluish-purple color scheme with gray floors and other assorted colors mixed in for holographic panels and what not. And then you had its remix Regret, where they basically took the Truth map, flipped it upside down, traded the bluish-purple for metal gray, added a lot of vegetation and an open sky.
Then you had Empire which was set on a Human skyscraper somewhere around dusk. The sun was going down so I wager somewhere between 5 to 6 o’clock on Earth. It’s remix map was Eden. Now it was the dead of night during a storm and we were on the roof of the building rather than a few floors down. It was also more open.
So now lets try to think of what a remix of Fathom would be…
The maps we saw for breakout in the beta MAY be forge maps but not all maps in breakout will be forge. We can tell this if we look at the halo5 guardians Mp trailer. It shows actual maps that don’t have the TRON look to them.
