Does anyone else think that half of the maps are just variants of other maps? Truth/Regret are two that come to mind. Now I know that new maps are coming and forge will bring some neat user made maps (that’s if forge even works this time) but I feel like a unacceptable chunk of these maps have a brother and sister relationship to one another. It also doesn’t help that when it comes to team slayer all we have is AR slayer. Is it honestly that hard to add in BR slayer and other variants to the very few game modes? Also, all these maps are close quarter maps that are very CoD in feel. Where are the large maps like Valhalla and Standoff? Why am I confined to the same map type match after match? What made Halo great was the wonderful variety of map ascetics and gameplay and these vanilla maps aren’t up to snuff. It’s a nasty cocktale of maps plagued with sameness and no playlist variety. I love the game mechanics and I feel that it is the most balanced game since Halo 3 (maybe even more tighter), I just want to see it live on for years to come. I hope that halo 5 can be a gaming experience of a lifetime.
I agree, too much of the same maps back to back, it gets annoying and makes the map selection seem even smaller. They should use some breakout maps in slayer, I think it’d be fun.

They were designed that way, 343 calls them “remix” maps and some of the DLC maps are going to be remixes of maps we already have (rig and fathom)
Pegasus is far beyond the worst map I’ve had the pleasure of playing on. Plaza is a close second. Imo of course.
The maps are awful.
There’s no variety or creativity.
Looks like all these future maps are going to be Forged.
Happy I didn’t fall for the 343 marketing this time.
They burned me twice. Not this time.

I get that, but it gets very tedious when I play Empire/Eden/Empire/Eden. I just wish the remix maps didn’t take up a chunk of what little maps we have.
