What maps do we want in January?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

So I can only assume 343 will be adding a few maps every update. But how many? And what kinds should they put to the top of the priority list? In Nov. we got 4 forge maps. In Dec we get 1 Arena map and 1 Warzone. How many will we get next time? I can only assume 343 is done packaging forge maps with these updates and will shift to focusing on more dev maps from them directly. Future forge maps should be additional ones made by the community now that we have forge for ourselves. Obviously the ones we have now were made by community members, but they had limited time to do so.

So what do we want first? 4v4 maps? BTB? Warzone?
I think Dev made BTB should be a priority, since we have none. Which in some ways, is a big disservice for long tome BTB fans. If we were in theory to get 3 or 4 maps in January I think at least two Dev-made BTB maps are in order. Then maybe another 4v4 map. And if we got a fourth it should then be a Warzone map.

We need new maps. Not any -Yoink!- remixes. Not any forge maps. Give us some damn new maps.

Or they can just give up with their feeble map attempts and add in the missing gamemodes.

Yes 100% new or even remade h2 or 3 or 4 maps not remixed h5 ones

Real ones.

I think warzone is the most important since we can forge plenty of 4v4 and BTB maps so they should add some of the best of these to matchmaking.

I get that. What kind?

7

Dune, desert plant, Areckis!

8

I want bigger maps for Arena and even BTB. Feels like we need some variety.
And give us Valhalla!

9

Real (non forge), simple, vehicle heavy BTB maps

10

Everyone’s saying how they need “real” maps but they don’t realise that they are far more expensive and play the exact same as forge maps.

11

I’d like the following:

  1. Extended Sandtrap remake for Warzone with Elephants.
  2. Remake of Boarding Action from Halo: CE
  3. An original map based on a Halo.
12

Please not forge maps… If they start throwing in forge maps as the free DLC then that would be pretty sad.

13

I’m expecting forge maps next month and actual new maps come Febuary. Just speculation though.

I appreciate the community’s effort in making the forge maps, but they’re honestly not something I want to play on. The graphics, visuals are so bad, doesn’t feel like 2015 (compared to other games out there).
It’s not the community’s fault, they worked with what they were given. Hopefully there’s a way for a comprise between gameplay/balance 60fps and graphics?

Prior Halo forge maps looked much better, to my eye.

2 arena maps that are larger in scale, 1 GOOD BTB map and a warzone map.

16

I know for a fact that a remix of The Rig is coming. If you’ve seen ‘‘The Sprint’’ you know that they were far into developing that map. It looks nice though.

This, and another Breakout map.

18

I need some arena maps and breakout maps.

Isn’t that what the REQ pack micro-transactions are supposed to pay for, actual maps made by people who know how to make maps, people like Certain Affinity. If it REQ packs are solely going to HCS/tournaments, then it is a great waste of people’s money and time.

EDIT: With forge in the hands of the community, it gives them (343) an opportunity to make/sponsor actual maps (non-forge) and include highly rated/well known community creations in their monthly free updates.

So, with all the money earned from the REQ system, they can afford to offer a $2 million dollar payout for the HCS, but they can’t put any of it towards “real”, developer made maps?Especially for BTB, which has NONE at this point. I thought the REQ/Microtransactions system was supposed to fund the HCS AND free maps?

And Forge maps just look bland and a lot of areas just look boring. Some areas your staring at blocks and it just doesn’t feel as exciting to play on as a map like Guardian or Exile.

If BTB gets all Forge maps, that will be really really sad. And since they have yet to say if any real, developer made maps were coming for BTB yet, it’s purely speculation to say that they will be in the future.
