I’ve been thinking recently about the lack of true, small and symmetrical arena maps.
There’s 2(?) maps we haven’t seen for the H4 multiplayer, and it’s unlikely that both of those will be small and enclosed spaces, similar to those we know and love in H3 and H2.
However, we know that 343 already has plans for 3 map packs. So what if they structured them as an arena map pack, a large/medium map pack and a remake map pack?
Would you buy those? Personally I think the idea of injecting new maps of the same size in intervals would help keep the game fresh, especially as seeing that the map packs in Reach barely ever featured in the multiplayer and the CEA maps didn’t even get merged in.
Think how BF3’s expansions worked, with the close quarters expansion and the Armoured Kill expansion adding small intense maps and massive big team maps at once. I think that’d improve the life of H4 massively.

Why it’s unlikely? O_O
We already have plenty of BTB maps so it would only make sense that these yet unrevealed maps are going to be small (4vs4).

close quarters and armored kill are fun but both lack the whole battlefield experience. It would be unwise to follow in that direction. I don’t see the need for a small map. Infact pretty much the size of maps are being re defined in halo 4. small is now medium and mediums are the new large.
> I’d like at least one more small map. There have been far too many BTB maps so far.
This is far too true. If there aren’t more small, symmetrical arena maps off of launch then many competitive players will be left waiting for forgers to do their thing.
Haven and Solace fit your speficic description.
The last map is going to be an arena map.
Adrift and Abandon could work.
If that isn’t enough, a Forge map or two can be added.
