New DLC all 'real' maps, or some Forge?

I’ve been so looking forward to playing on some new, 343i art/ designed maps. I thought I saw that one (maybe (Anti-freeze?) was forged. Imo, forged maps shouldn’t be grouped-in with DLC, if that’s the case.

out of the 4 maps, 2 are 343 official maps. overgrowth and the warzone one. assuming they keep this trend. (we are getting four maps every month untill june) that is 7 warzone maps. and a good 18 arena maps free of charge ( with 15 of those arena maps being 343 official) what is the problem?

most of them are real maps it looks like.

2 forge maps, 1 official arena map, and 1 official warzone map. like i said if they keep that number that is a healthy amount of maps till june for free

i dont really care as in the end we will probably get a total of 32 more maps added to the game

You’re getting 8 maps the 4 canvases theres a breakout canvase everyone forgets about then you’re getting the two forge maps that look really good and im tired of people complaining about forge maps for free dlc stop complaining you little girls, and overgrowth and battle of noctus

I have yet to see a good argument as to why a map made by 343 in forge is bad thing. The last bunch of maps to come out that were forge made are good maps, so whats the problem?

Their forge maps are mostly good (structurally), but that’s not the point. I’d like to see YOU try to argue for how they are as good as real maps, since we all assumed we would be getting real maps when they say stuff like we’ll be getting “5 new unique maps” or something along those lines. Try. Please.

Now, personally I’m okay either way, and I love Halo 5. Just so that you know my position.

if we got 5 new unigue maps every month, the amount of dlc would end in what February (since they said their would be 15 maps added) having forge maps mixed in not only gives us more content but also allows them to update/fix areas along with adding content (no-one wants an update consisting of only REQ content)

Shouldn’t we care on how the map plays rather than how the map looks?

Nice. At least someone understands.

We’ll be getting tons of forge maps soon after George’s release. My point is that ‘DLC’ maps should be set apart- official maps. Why care about the release of a Forge map when there’s soon to be a plethora of them in no time. I’m talking officially created maps, tested with heat maps and the works

Why does it matter? Please explain to me why “official” maps are different than a forge counter part other than asthetics? All of the forge maps that they design are still going to be tested up and down for everything that any other map would.

Is that a Rolex? Why, no, but its a good looking knock-off. Is that a real Ferrari? No, its a kit car…
I don’t mean to knock or offend anyone. And, to be quite honest, I had no idea DLC was coming out every month. The recent ad/ trailer gave the impression that all the DLC maps were… well… official. The look, feel, and as I mentioned previously, knowing they were heat-map play tested to death gives the map more… appeal and value than a forged one. I’m sure we’ll all have plenty of fun on the forged ones. The difference? Well, I thought it was apparent. My disappointment was not intended to seem as whiney as you may have perceived. With all the whining, complaining, and hate that seems to dominate these forums, I understand how you would think my original post was more hateful complaining more than inquisitive disappointment.
Love Halo 5.
Thanks for the info.

It’s not the maps that are the problem, it’s how 343 are going about advertising the whole thing. Claiming Forge maps as “free dlc” is really dishonest. Forge maps have always been free, so pointing out that they’re free in Halo 5 is not really saying much.

Dishonest how? They’re new maps that we didn’t have before, regardless of how they were made. If you didn’t know they were made with Forge would you be happy with them? I think the maps play great, which is really all that matters.

The forge maps are pretty much all we are getting, that and remixes of maps already in the game.

Overgrown and Noctus are the only legit ones.

Lol real maps? What forge maps aren’t real maps?
But seriously, I think 343 is going to release more non-forge next year. Honestly I am really tired of seeing threads like this, a map is a map, what matters is if the map plays well.
