The last dlc is being released. It consists of all btb maps. So, is 343 saying we have enough 4v4/small maps? There are like 4 quality 4v4 maps on this game. I don’t want to play garbage forge maps. All the ones 343 picks are horrible. Reach did the same thing. Forge is an excuse for the developer to be lazy. Am I the only one that has this opinion?

Probably not. I’m not one of them though. I like forge maps. They are actually built for gameplay instead of flashy graphics. I can’t wait to see what we get from the forge community form Forge Island. IMO the forge maps are better than the majority of the default/DLC ones.
I agree with you…
this is the first post ive ever made for any halo game so i will try and be brief…
i love halo 4 and think its honestly a really really great game all around. its all i pretty much play
mostly because its really competitive on so many levels.
and this is someone whos been playing various FPS since the first xbox.
with this being said,
why cant some of these good forge maps make their way into other playlists?
why does simplex and the other so called AGL maps have to be just in throwdown?
these maps are good maps and i enjoy playing them.
but if i get on live by myself i dont want to play throwdown with no team,
or play team doubles with no other person to play with or get matched up with someone with no mic?
put some of these new forge maps in the regular infinity slayer playlist!!!
infinity slayer and big team always seem to have the highest amount of people playing it, so i would assume
there are more people like me who would like to see these forge maps make there way to the infinity slayer playlist.
the forge community test slayer maps were some good maps and they should have seen more light of day!
i mean haven is a great map, and the new maps like skyline and monolith are sick too
but im sick of playing them non stop because the newer maps dont seem to come up.
and you have some great options with these forge maps people are making.
hell at this point i wouldnt care if they were all halo remake maps in forge just to play some new maps in halo 4.
thats my rant for now and i hope 343i will see this and maybe have an answer for me and the community.
but seriously put some of these forge maps into additional playlists because they are good!

are you sure we are talking about the same game? there is absolutely nothing competitive about halo 4

I don’t agree with that at all. It is competitive on the pro variant. There is just some balancing that needs to occur. Good maps wouldn’t hurt either. To me this game is better than Reach. It still needs alot of work to get to halo 2,3 levels though
This game needs about 5 more good 4v4 maps. Most of them need to be small too. Monolith doesn’t equal small. I remember back when the focus of multiplayer maps wasn’t BTB
I can agree that forge was suppose to be excuse, but it didn’t worked out. Forge maps are far too unstable (in terms of frame rate - especially on split screen) to be added like they were in Reach.
Right now there are only 3 default, good 4v4 maps - Abandon, Adrift and of course Haven. Solace is ok, but not as good as these 3.
With DLC maps that would be another 3 good maps (Majestic!) and 1 ok map (Harvest - little too big for 4v4 but still more playable that Complex).
So there are few good maps and half of them doesn’t even appear (much often) in Team Slayer. What do you suggest?

Yes pro is so popular it has 700 people on at a time. The MLG playlist was not very popular in H3, I don’t know why it would be popular here. There is no balance on any gametype without set loadouts. We need a classic playlist. Actually I should say we NEEDED a classic playlist as the 4 million people who would play it already quit playing this game.

Sorry I got distracted, but as for this^.
Yes we do need 4-5 team player maps. The BTB maps we have need rebalanced and we need set loadouts to use vehicles. Every time I play BTB I have plasma pistol/grenades because I will take out your ride. That’s not fair, I know it isn’t but I will use it if I can. As for the forge maps, they aren’t all garbage. They often appear to be due to the lack of “skins” for the forge pieces though. If it were possible to change a pieces whole color or texture forge would be so much better. As for the DEV being lazy I’ll just say this… 3 map packs, none were made by them.
im just saying put some of these forge maps to use. they are good maps and should be in the playlists that have people playing it like infinity slayer. even a map like simplex, if a user has created it, and then 343 want to make some tweaks to it to make it better or help it be able to play in the other lists, i dont think users will be that mad. hell if i created a map they tweaked it and it was then featured in the game and people really liked it, i would be pumped!
there just needs to be more maps period. infinity slayer the new maps barely come up, even if it is due to people not having the map packs. the other lists where there are new maps have like stated 600 people playing them some times more some times less. these forge maps are good and need to be put in the game for variety.
paying 100 bucks for the SE version of the game and getting 3 map packs and only one of them being good cause they are not big team maps pisses me off. im sure im not the only one who feels this way either so maybe 343 can listen to what people are saying and start putting these other maps in other playlists. otherwise with playing these same maps that came out with the game over and over its making things stale for me and making want to start playing another game.
just some thoughts but i mean come on, if theres all these people making these maps, and now 343 gives them a new forge island to make more maps on, i mean whats the point if none of those maps will even make it into the game. you might as well just want to make a halo version of minecraft and be done with it.
Halo 4’s map rotation is a joke, Forge community has alot more talent than the pro map designers - i dont forge myself, but i have HUGE respect for those who do.
