I think they should release four maps for season two due to the the six month wait. One team based small map one BTB map and two asymmetrical maps.
Although I am interested in it’s title - lone wolves. I feel the maps should be asymmetrical for this season and based around stalking with three or four iconic fighting pinch points.
I also feel there’ll be more to the season pass as they are talking about these characters and thinking about story arcs. Maybe a purpose to the battle pass progression rather than just you get this piece of equipment.
At present the pieces you pick up from the battle pass had a sub title - lore… but then doesn’t give you any. Maybe this was originally planned put got put on the back burner. Maybe.
Based on previous game titles i don’t think that will be much of a problem. Very very few maps were selected for each playlist that were made by the community. The only ones they chose were highly rated and were set up for more than just 1 mode. So you won’t see a bunch of lego maps. Only a few well made and highly rated maps. That wont happen until a lot of time has passed after the release of forge too so most likely all or most of the official maps will be made and released first before any community ones are selected unless 1 or 2 highly stand out
Just because they only show two examples doesn’t necessarily mean there will only be two new maps. We will just have to wait and see.
2 maps per 3 months is great honestly.

Then we should get 4 maps with season 2 since it would be 6 months by the time it comes out, even longer since they say in the blog that the maps will come out DURING season 2 and not WITH season 2 so it could end up being 9 months (6 more months from now) before we get them.
I agree, but I wouldn’t set yourself up to expect more than the 2 they mentioned.
Breaker:
The Tower, but on sand
I think the base of The Tower from the campaign would make a really good box-map with it’s surrounding high-walls for sniper and marksmen, series of hallways either side for bases and lots of cover in the middle for an intense super enclosed non-vehicle map. (I love vehicles but I think my concept would be fun)
I bet it will be my new favourite map, but I will also bet it’ll be a copy & paste from the campaign model (with tweaks) as it’ll be easier on production and the sand will make visibility > Gameplay a lot better then the dark saturated colour underbelly of The Tower we saw in the campaign.
However if that’s true then this +1 other map for the entirety of Season 1 (6 months) and Season 2 (however long this will be) is bit poor if my model theory is correct.
Really looking forward to it all the same, just want to see if anyone else thought similarly.
Where is the ‘Why is it only 2 maps, where are the fixes, and other issues being addressed instead of trying to hang they have two maps coming to shut us up’ option?
These two new maps better be good. Personally, I think adding a remixed version of an old map from previous Halos as a third addition would be more sustainable, since Forge is not coming until season 3.

Only one arena map for next season is totally 100% unacceptable.
