I noticed these maps aren’t in the rotation and have playable versions of each. Why are they not in any online playlists I have played?
Anyone?
i wish i knew, but i don’t. it would be nice to have them added in.
There forge canvas thats why they can’t be implemented into multiplayer
those 3 maps are forge and custom only maps i dont know they arent in the playlist but frankly after reach half the maps were forge i rather keep them in forge and custom

They can’t be implemented in multiplayer at all? Not even the relay, settler, and ascent, versions?
Empty canvases should not be in Multiplyer but the variants known as Ascent, Relay, and Settler should be added.

Was playing some of them in online customs with a large group on wednesday, and they lag quite a bit more than the regular maps. As a guess, I think there’s probably a bit of a problem with playing forge maps online, and that’s why they’re not in the rotation yet. Also explains the lack of searching for custom maps/fileshare. Something in forge needs to be fixed before the forge maps are playable over XBL it seems like.

thats interesting.
just posted about this, agreed. What gives, it would be nice if 343 posted and answered why the playable versions of these maps havent been implemented yet or at least tell us whats going on with the Forge issues and stuff

simple answer… 343 hates us all and wants us to quit halo…
They’re probably waiting for some really rad community created variations to throw into rotation.
Stop trolling ghost. I don’t want trolls here.
Basically, several people I believe didn’t like halo Reach’s forge maps in matchmaking at launch all the time, something like that, so this is what we have, launch playlists without forge maps at the moment.
I wish they would add the pre built variants into matchmaking. I’ve played a few customs on that small arena map on Impact and it was awesome.

They could be implemented easily, but my theory is that they’re not going to do that until after all the map packs have been released. They want to sell the map packs and their thinking is probably that the less variety there is in maps, the more people will want to buy the map packs.

Seems reasonable. They force us to play on 5 maps in order to make us buy more maps. Too bad the first map pack doesn’t seem to have small maps. OK, whatever. I have LE anyway.

good point. what a low blow, no wonder there is only 5 maps

Honestly, I’m more of a BTB guy so I like big maps, but I do feel a little bad for you guys who like the smaller maps. You don’t have much to choose from so far. Seems like Relay would be a great smaller map to play Slayer on. They should just put those (Relay, Settler and Ascent) out there and not worry about how many map packs they sell.

Yeah, it sucks. Halo 3 had 9 maps suited for 4v4 at launch. Halo 4 has only 5 (4). I enjoy BTB as well but 4v4 is what defines Halo for me.
