I've Come To A Conclusion

Games Other Halo

We really do need more classic maps.

Don’t kill me yet, let me talk.

Ragnarok is the best remake I’ve played in years. It was a flawlessly done, appropriate remake and it accomplished exactly what all remakes should accomplish:

Accurately recreating the experience and preserving the look and feel of a map.

There are many other games that attempt to craft remakes but fail because of noticable changes to a map’s layout. But 343 has proven that they’re capable of delivering old experiences and still managing to make them feel somewhat fresh again. While Ragnarok looks and plays just like Valhalla, it shares the same issues as the original Valhalla. When matches turn into one-sided battles with a team cornering their opposition into their base can sometileft come frustrating. While I love Valhalla, I don’t think it was the best choice for a map remake.

And yes, “they already announced all of Halo 4’s DLC!”

So why not do something unexpected that will please fans? Bungie accomplished this by releasing Halo 3’s Cold Storage out of the blue and most importantly: Free of charge.

We should have another Cold Storage-esque DLC launch. For example, maybe we can have a single classic map such as Guardian, Lockout, or Sandtrap? It would keep the game alive, people will come back if something 's price tag is $0.00 and it’s guaranteed quality.

I’ve noticed that the Crimson Map Pack purely consists of maps with vehicle-driven gameplay, why not release smaller arena maps to balance it out? We need more maps like Haven.
This game is far too unpopular for a AAA release that only came out about four weeks ago(My sole opinion). Halo 3 had more players online than Halo 4 currently does years after its release. Something’s clearly wrong, and I think a free map or two can remedy it.

My vote: Guardian.

you should be concerned by the fact the 3 maps you would like to be back are from halo 3 and not halo 2. (fine, 2 out of 3, but lockout got a remake on H3).
bring back any map from H2 or HCE, they’re way superior. but overall I agree with your message.

also, free maps is insanely unlikely because :
1- it costs tons of money to make the map (design it, model it, texture it, add effects, lightings, playtest, make sure there is no glitchs in it, etc) so the company will LOSE money since they’re giving it for free.
2- think like a company would. why give something for free when you could get money out of it? people already buy 3 maps for 10$, so why not try and sell one extra, surprise map for 5$?

free things are always nice. But very unlikely, seeing as how they’ve already been stingy on how many maps we get to play on release (I mean, 5 maps in slayer, really??)

if anything, give us relay in rotational, we already bought that map and its just waiting in forge/customs untouched
