Halo 4… November 6th 2012
2002 and 2006… worst years ever…
We are in a content dry spell people… When Halo 4 releases it’ll be almost a year since we’ve had Halo content.
Do you realize that we haven’t played on NEW(non-remake) maps since March 15th 2011?
It was only 2 maps too Highlands and Condemned.
How crazy is that? Condemned and Highlands are the last NEW maps we’ve played on…
Getting my hands on Halo 4 is going to be so awesome. 9 new maps and a remake plus 3 forge environments. I’m so excited to learn more about the maps. My only request to 343 is to keep the content consistant. I really hope that the first 9 maps(3 map packs) aren’t the end of dlc. I’d like to see new map DLC at least once every 3-5 months. It always gets me back into the game.
Reach was the worst Halo game for DLC IMO and I really hope that 343 doesn’t repeat that failure. We got 2 map packs in the first 6 months and one of them only had 2 maps… So we had horrible launch maps then only ended up getting 5 new maps within the first 6 months of the games release. After that we didn’t get anything until CEA. I understand a ton of it probably had to do with the Bungie/343 handoff. I just really hope the DLC shortage doesn’t happen again in Halo 4. The best part about Reach too… We don’t even get to play the DLC maps… Please make the DLC thing work this time around 343…
TL;DR
343… please keep a steady flow of DLC maps.
Wow great list and research.Wish I was aware like that.
I know it’s only 3 that have been confirmed so far, but I would really appreciat if 343 did with their DLC what other games do, a season of content so to speack.
Three map packs, three maps in those, base maps, and Spartan Ops.
Altogether when all is said and done, we’ll have 71 play spaces. Right on.

You have a good mindset about it and I appreciate that. The thing is you’re over estimated the amount of content Spartan Ops actually offers. It’s essentially Firefight delivered to us through DLC. I’m going to enjoy Spartan Ops but it still isn’t even in my talks. The pressing issue is multiplayer maps.

I think you’re underestimating Spartan Ops. It’s not just Firefight, it’s entire missions. It’s gonna be awesome.

I fully understand Spartan Ops… It’s missions that run 7-10 minutes. 5 separate missions per episode that runs for 10 weeks equaling out to 50 missions. Each episode includes a cinematic. It’s a better more glorified version of Firefight. It’s a second campaign that won’t be as good or in depth as the full campaign experience. It’s best when played 4 player co-op. Can be played with 1 player but is built for co-op. I appreciate that 343 is giving us this unique content. I’m just a multiplayer nut and love my multiplayer maps.
I hope they don’t just give us maps … there should be bonuses included with them like what other games did (GOW3-BF3) you know new weapons-skins-armors…etc
and I hope for god SpOps will success so they make DLC’s for it more than War games

I wouldn’t mind if they made more Spops episodes if the first season is good. I would just really enjoy multiplayer to actually have a large batch of maps.
DLC should ve required for most playlist - I hate having to play the DLC playlist just to play the maps I have paid for .
And yes keep DLC coming
New map packs would be good for Reach, but the truth is the map packs don’t work. I’ve got all the map packs and the last time I played a DLC map in regular matchmaking was probably 2 or 3 months ago.
It’s a content-dry period for sure… but new content wouldn’t make a difference.
H4 needs to manage DLC better than Reach. There are too many playlists, and not enough exclusivity in Reach. H3 did a much better job of making DLC required, hopefully this sort of thinking will be in H4.

I have a feeling that having the whole “map pass” thing will help the DLC numbers. Having the maps in all the limited editions should help too. At least with the first 3 map packs. Hopefully their will be more to follow.
