Before i start, i should say i’m a big halo fan, playing halo 1 on xbox using xbconnect far before xbox live was born, then halo 2, 3 and reach multiplayer. Easily clocking in over 20k+ games over the 10 years or so i’ve played halo. Its the same with my brother, we both party up every night for an hour and a half after work - its our regular way to unwind.
Now on to my point, what is going on with the lack of maps for infinity slayer 4v4? There are approximately 5 multiplayer maps with only 3 really being played regulary.
This is a terrible situation and my boredom for the 3 remaining maps has almost reached a maximum limit. We both have bought the map pass, but have learnt that out of the 3 crimson maps only one will be available to infinity slayer and the other remianing maps will go on other game types. This potentially leaves us with 4 frequent maps up until the next map pack drop.
Now don’t get me wrong, i understand that i may play slayer but other people want more varied maps for other game types, that’s fine however put them some of them into the infinity slayer playlist asap. We’ve always had big ish maps in halo matchmaking anyhow so why not carry on that tradition. Ragnok can be in infinity slayer also, after all it was in halo 3 matchmaking.
I gave up gears 3 to go back to halo (we got into gears 3 late and loved it, we were actually gutted that we had to leave it and wished halo 4 had come out later!), and they seem to have map packs nailed and bring maps into rotation instantly rather than waiting for a playlist update.
The greatness of the gears 3 season pass is one of the reasons why i bought the halo 4 one but i have to say i wish i hadn’t now as putting halo 4 down would have been a lot easier otherwise.
We are seriously tempted to go back to gears, that’s how bad the map situation has got and if something isn’t done quick to sort out the infinity slayer map selection i can see you losing players quick/
