We have 4 maps, yes, but there are literally hundreds of forge maps that can be put into this playlist right this moment. I have around 400 maps bookmarked and have been running custom games for a few days and most of these maps look and feel amazing. The infinite subtitle is reality refers to the breadth and wealth of forge content. It’s only been available for what, 4 months and we have at least 400 high quality maps ready. 343 cannot afford to drag their feet and add a couple maps into rotation here and there occasionally, otherwise it will take years and years. They need to be proactive and embrace the efforts of the amazing forge community. 343 is sitting on a treasure trove just waiting to be used, this is what separates Halo from other shooters that don’t provide the tools for players to make their own maps. Before infinite forge maps were ugly, but not anymore, a lot of them exceed the quality of devmade maps currently in the game. Considering one of the key complaints from the community is the lack of maps it would be foolish not to utilize the hard work of the forge community to improve the game tremendously. So please, 343, act quick and add more maps to the community playlist, the amount of quality maps available right now is so big that even if you add 10 maps per week it would still take almost a year to run out of maps to add. By that point forgers will provide another 400 maps I guarantee it.
I agree. So many good maps. Even if they are a little rough in places with the odd bit of uneven terrain etc… surely a wealth of good maps is better than only a tiny amount of polished ones. I’m assuming that 343 don’t want to have to expend the effort to put the exta polish on maps, to get trhem to the sme polish level as dev maps. …or ask the creators to do it. Things like bits of floor scenery that can snag the player, or perhaps a weird spawn problem… I know some of my maps suffer from those issues… lack of polish. But, as you say… so many really good maps.
I do agree it needs more, might just be they been pushing for season 3, hopefully get more rotation and maps added, even add them to normal matchmaking, really loved the season 3 trailer, down point for me was same maps in forge playlist with only art’s room added. Maybe there is a plan we don’t know about, It can be.
Every two weeks I think would be a good balance of map rotation for the playlist. Even if we get some already seen maps in some of them.
Art’s room will not be in the playlist as explained by forgelord it was in the trailer to show aesthetics, even though it’s ugly as sin. In any case it’s a joke map not meant for normal gameplay. But there is a ton of great maps.
I would rather see the community forge playlist retired and the maps integrated into the other playlists, I honestly don’t see the point of having multiple playlists like this when everything could be under one playlist
I’d love to see say maybe anywhere between 5-8 maps and then they’re rotated out every two weeks. Maybe three weeks. The two weeks would stay consistent with the ranked playlist being rotated in and out.
Also, I’m really eager to see a forged BTB playlist get added. 
I think they need to go through the community playlist before getting integrated into main playlists. It pretty much serves as a test to check for any issues and to find the most popular community maps. Once they are confident it has no issues the most popular maps should get integrated into other playlists as you say. As they go forward and there are already plenty of maps in normal rotation, they can get much more selective about what maps are popular enough to be added.
Personally I don’t want to play on Streets or Bazaar or Detachment ever again, and with the current weighting you only ever get these boring maps again and again. Argyle I’ve played on maybe once or twice in several months, that’s how bad the map rotation is. I don’t trust 343 to implement new maps well into the established playlists.
I really like Streets and Bazaar. I get plenty of games on Streets and almost never get to play on Bazaar. Like you, I also think Detachment isn’t great and it’s my most frequent map over the couple few weeks. No idea if there is some underlying cause of how frequently certain maps are played or if it’s largely luck of the draw.
Edit: It’s a slow day at work so I went through my previous games and in roughly 200 games in the last month I’ve only played on Bazaar twice and both of those were in the Team Survivor playlist. If you’re getting more games on Bazaar then I feel left out.
The match maker chooses the game type first and then the map.
So you should have an equal distribution of game types.
But some maps are in more game modes… so they will tend to come up more often.
When I did my 500 game data collection at the start of season 2 the maps followed the predicted ratios.
That’s good to know. My question now is since Bazaar was removed as an option for CTF in quick play, are there actually any game modes even left for it?
I know it has never been an Oddball map and I don’t think it does KotH either. That still leaves Slayer, Attrition and Land Grab as potential options but I haven’t had Bazaar as the map for them in a long time.
Edit: Did the research myself and Bazaar has been completely removed from Quick Play. Is the map that unpopular or is it a mistake on 343i’s part?
When you point it out like that, I don’t think I’ve played Argyle once, such a shame as well because the map looks fun
