Hello, I’ve been playing the Majestic maps for a bit and I wanted to share my opinion on somethings and wanted to see if other people agree. The Majestic Map Pack is supposed to be considered a “close-quarters” map pack, yet there are a few things bugging me.
Lets start with Landfall.
Landfall. It’s a lot smaller than I thought it would be–which is good! It feels as if the most of the action takes place inside the main building, and some outer skirmishes happen during the outside. Overall, it’s a fun map to play on, even though some of the fights can take place in the open outside.
Skyline is my favorite map of the DLC. It’s exactly what H4 needed. I also like how the sticky detonator is the weapon of choice as the power weapon in the center of the map (Instead of another rocket launcher). Overall, it is close quarters heaven and very fun to play on.
Monolith is the odd one out. Monolith is A LOT bigger than I thought it was going to be-- which is bad. This is supposed to be a close-quarters map pack–why am I getting sniped with beam rifles from across the map? Monolith does have its close quarter battles, but the long ranged fights really overtake the CQC fights however, and that’s not right. The beam rifles need to be replaced with something else–such as scattershots or needlers. Also, it would be interesting if the rockets in the middle were to be replaced by a hammer.
Overall, it only feels as if half the map pack is actually close quarters. Skyline is phenomenal, and Landfall is great. Monolith is a fine map, but it doesn’t feel like a CQC map if it has long range elements.
And why does everyone not want to play the other maps online? Most of the time, people vote for Monolith and less for Landfall and Skyline.
Landfall isn’t really a CQC map like that either. I like this map pack, Skyline is by far the best. My only issue right now is how many annoying -Yoink- players are using the boltshot now. Every corner someone is sitting on it with a boltshot just looking at the radar. Wish they would nerf that gun already or get a real TU for this game.
Well, the boltshot is abused in EVERY playlist, but more so in these new maps, yes.
Yes, Landfall isn’t as close quarters as Skyline or so, but it does have a good amount of CQC. When compared to Monolith, on Monolith, its possible to get sniped/DMR’d from across the map, while in the interior of Landfall you can’t.

All I can say is vote for Slayer Pro when it comes up. What I wouldn’t do for a real slayer without all the Infinity crap.
Meh. I just found them to be rather boring maps. I do like what goes on in the background but overall, they’re just nothing special. If I didn’t get the season pass, I’d have passed them up.
Love it. I was kinda cold on the Crimson, but Majestic really scratched my CQC itch. Bravo 343. Might I suggest more of the same?
Loved it, played Majestic nearly all day yesterday, well done 343i, good map pack.
My only gripe with majestic is how Landfall is played against teams.
3 out of 3 games I’ve played on that map was extremely boring.
1 team will be inside the building forced to camp because the other team is camping lift rockets and by the forklift the entire game. It gets ridiculous when one team gets all the power weapons supplemented by the ammo perk and a short re-spawn timer.
Also the damn achievements are so annoying because they brought an all time high on camping corners with camo and “prom” vision. I know it will die down eventually but you can’t deny that it can be agitating at times.

Lol. I noticed that too, many players didn’t realise you only have to start shooting your opponent and then activate the camo or vision before the player dies,
I got mine like that, once players have the cheevos that will stop or at least reduce, some players just like camping, always will, they don’t bother me though, wither players like it or not it’s a legitimate tactic.
