What do you think it would be named? Since they are naming them after Fireteams, I think Switchback, or Domino, maybe the next one would be Forest? Shadow sounds cool too.
I don’t want any map packs, Forge maps is what we need, and classic ones from original trilogy and I guarentee 9 times out of 10, those will get picked 100x more. Hell put the maps in its own playlist with its own settings and that playlist will take away the BTB and Infinity Slayer pop.
How about a Map Pack that release the classic maps and forge maps?
Yea doubt we will be getting any more map packs in Halo 4. They just need to utilize the ones we have now better now. But yea if they did maybe Switchback lol.
I like Switchback the name sounded cool.
In the very first chapter of Spartan Ops, Quarry, this is a direct quote from Miller:
Miller: Spartan Miller to Fireteams Castle, Majestic, Domino, Ivy, and Crimson, sending coordinates for your Ops now. Crimson, I’ll be your handler for today.
Most of these Fireteams are the more “elite” ones, such as Castle, Majestic, and Crimson, so I think Domino or Ivy would have a good chance at having their names featured. Perhaps Shadow too, because they seem pretty badass.
Domino, poker, and switchback.
Also, no classic maps. They won’t work well with this Halo formula, and I’ve already bought them, I don’t really want to buy them again.
I wish they wouldn’t name them after fireteams and have them named after a central theme. The Defiant map pack was named that way to show the defiance against the Covenant and the will for humanity to fight until the last breath. The maps had space battles, a planet being glassed, etc.

And Shadow and Kodiak. Personally I like those two best for whatever comes out next (Domino wasn’t really involved in anything, Switchback’s only real feat was getting captured, and poker squad was a marine group. Shadow though blew up a covenant cruiser and Kodiak kicked some butt too.)

Do you guys know if there is a special reason why they choose a certain Fireteam for their map packs?
Like, why couldn’t have Crimson DLC been called “Castle” and Castle DLC be called “Crimson”?

Well I wouldn’t exactly call it special but 343 has been going down the list of fireteam names in decreasing order of relevancy/importance to SOPS. Crimson was you, Majestic was where all the characters were, and Castle had a few significant plot points tied to them (namely, they died after being mentioned a few times).

Ohhhhh I forgot about those two. Good choices.

I want an Anniversary/Flashback Map Pack
Consisting of 3 or 4 Community Favorite Maps from:
Halo: CE/CEA
Halo: 2
Halo: 3
Halo: Reach

I’d wager that while it would be popular, it would not detract from Infinity Slayer and BTIS as you seem to hope.

Those maps would be broken by the DMR, sprint and armour abilities.
Shadow Map Pack, Including Lockout, Boarding Action, and Assembly.
I wouldn’t mind if they called it the “Domino” Map Pack, since that is my gamertag lol.
In all seriousness though, having a Switchback Map Pack would be cool if it featured favorite maps from previous Halo games.
Switchback seems to the most valuable option I mean you actually get to meet them.

Yes, I would love this.

I would name it Domino if it were classic maps like Turf, Terminal, Headlong.
