New maps would replace old maps and maps would be season based
Old maps would still be available in custom games and at a later date forge mode
343 needs to have a team who’s focus is only on creating maps for this to work
They can bring back older maps depending on community feedback as special events or completely adding back key maps players love, i suggest them doing a poll to see the top 3
But if seasons will be 6 months it will kill the game without drastic measures like completely new maps, season 1 already suffers cause of the maps feeling old and lack of things to do, 4 months should be the longest a season is, i get and we get that kinks are being worked out so 2 season 6 months we can deal with but season 3 on should be 4 months, 2 new maps for season 2 will only hold so much water cause players will load into old maps they are already tired of more times than the 1 new map for 4v4 and the 1 for btb
You want to keep the game fresh than do seasonal maps and don’t just add maps, old maps no one want to play cause they ran that map a hundredth time is a no go
So this was my thoughts, parts were aimed directly at 343 management, first part was my idea for the feedback
This would be a cool idea but impossible since it takes them 6 months to make 2 maps. COD basically does this once a year when they release a new game but they also have like 3 different studios.
Think on this right now in arena is 6 maps, soon to be 7, most of the player base is burnt out on these 6 maps, most already left to play other games, but even with the 1 map with 6 months time you’ll have a 1 in 7 chance to get the new map, even if they did more maps by the time we get to season 3 and lets say they add 3 more maps, even that 7th map will be boring, so you’ll have a 3 in 10 chance to get a new map (if they do 3 maps in season 3)
But if they do 6 or 7 maps per season and remove all the older maps from the arena pool every season will be a fresh new experience
Think about it logically
If they did seasonal maps players who left would be more likely to return
I’m thinking about the bigger picture, cause right now halo infinite isn’t a live service at the least
Having a payable market doesn’t make a game a live service but pumping out new content (including maps) does
