We had only 5 maps in the default slayer playlists (infinity, pro, swat, regicide), and I thought to myself that’s far too few, but a map pack’s soon, but NOPE!We get one more map in those playlists, that’s it. Seriously? What the hell? There are far too few maps, can we PLEASE add in the forged maps now? This is absolutely ridiculous.
Oh man I can’t wait for some custme made maps! 
So…By your logic we should add the BTB maps into the infinity slayer playlist.
> So…By your logic we should add the BTB maps into the infinity slayer playlist.
Um… Hell yes? Why are we so afraid of having some distance? God forbid the game doesn’t reach the score limit or you don’t see an enemy for 15 seconds sometimes. Some of the maps, like Ragnarok for example, would totally work in the regular slayer list. Oh and impact, an on disk forge map should also be added.

That is not what he said at all… He is complaining about the fact that there is only one more map added into 4v4 or 5v5 playlists from the map pack. He is asking as well, since this is the case, to add forge maps made by the community so he can have a better experience during his Halo 4 matchmaking play.
Please no forge maps in multiplayer. Reach multiplayer was ruined because of it.

Forged maps in this game are much better lol. And have you played the forge maps available in custom games?? They are probably the best maps on the game right now lol
343i is working on adding forged maps into MP soon.
They are testing them.
I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next Bulletin the new forged maps were announced…

Forge maps were great! I loved the grey. Most of my favourite maps on Halo: Reach are forge maps.

Not even made by the community necessarily, even just the ones already on disk would be great. We have three maps on disk, the forge maps, that have built in variants already, like pinnacle in Reach, that aren’t being used in matchmaking, which is just plain baffling.
Agree, should have had at launch at least 8 Slayer maps.
> Agree, should have had at launch at least 8 Slayer maps.
Eight seems like a good number, and the game definitely has enough maps for that number to be easily done, they just decided not to use them, which is again ludicrous.

how so?
> Please no forge maps in multiplayer. Reach multiplayer was ruined because of it.
That’s mainly because the blocks they used were so damn hideous. The maps themselves weren’t all horrible (particularly some of the fan-made maps later added to matchmaking).
This time around the Forge blocks look a lot better and there’s more variety. I think at the very least the in-built Forge Maps should be added (there’s one per environment so it’s not like it’d be “too much” of the same).
I think that’s what bothers me the most. There isn’t a single good reason impact at least shouldn’t be in matchmaking.
Ragnarok would be fine, if they had the Social Slayer 5v5 from H3.
In fact, MOST of these maps would be ok at 5v5 (Complex), but too big at 4v4
There are 10 maps. 5 for 4v4, 5 for BTB. Every other game (except Halo 2, which also had a 5:5 ratio), has basically screwed over BTB giving them as few as 3 maps to play on.
This is the best way to give both sides an ok map list. And I’m sure future packs will include more 4v4 maps, and Forge Maps will be added to rotation soon.
I feel that the fact of the matter is that the game simply didn’t ship with enough maps, and that BTB still got screwed over because some of the BTB maps just don’t work well since they were actually designed around dominion. Also, there are more than 5 maps that will work in standard slayer variants on disk already, they’re just not using them… WHY?

I hated forge maps in reach but that was only because it was literally EVERY match. However I don’t see the problem implementing them in this game… It’ll keep it fresh
