Those three maps are missing from Team Arena.
Why isn’t there any official comment by 343 as to why that is the case?
Will/can we get them back?
Haven’t played overgrowth in ages, is in even in Slayer?
Seriously, add content then take it away? Halo 5 needs more maps for Arena as it is.
Team arena is the tournament playlist. Those maps aren’t in the tournament so they removed them.
Only explanation I can think of…
It’s possible that those maps aren’t set up very well for objective games, which now that I think about it I don’t think they are, at least as far as riptide and overgrowth are concerned. I’m just ok with avoiding torque as much as possible.
Think about what those maps have in common. I’ll give you a hint. Tyrant and Stasis share the same mystery characteristic.
On a serious note, more maps would be good. They should be good maps that play well though. Big circles with pretty lights, a few sets of stairs and some walls thrown around don’t count.
It’s probably because they were added mid season of the HCS. Since team arena is the pseudo practice playlist for HCS gametypes and maps, they didn’t want to add maps that wouldn’t be in tournament play. At the moment they probably could add these maps in, seeing now the summer league is about to start.
It’s just because arena is the summer preview for the Halo pro league. Once that’s over I’m sure they will be back. And hopefully they turn the slayer probability way down. If I want to play slayer i’ll play the dedicated list. I have CFT and Strongholds commendations to work on.
Because they listened to the Community.
343 asked what the Community wanted fixed in Arena to make it more “Arena”, and those 3 maps kept coming up as being asked to removed along with the weapons switched around and different weapons added, and a few other things.
But those were the 3 most hated maps, so they got removed.Thank god, they played terrible in Team Arena.
So our “FREE DLC” maps are slowly being removed from playlists, what’s the point in them then?

Where did you find that out?
Can’t they just edit the weapon layout on the maps to make them play better.
How could torque be an issue?
I enjoyed them.

I know, right?
Why not have the Super Tournament HCS Pro Awesome playlist be separate from the regular Team Arena? Again, not everybody wants to play HCS settings… Especially when it means losing maps.
