Why does Fireteam Castle have their own Maps

Too our Knowledge fireteam Castle is the only spartan team to die on Requiem so why do they get their own map pack. They were just gunned out of the sky by Jul 'Mdama.(who if you ask me 343i did a horrible job of making him the top bad guy) Is that all it takes to get a map pack named after you getting shoot out of the sky and gunned down in halo…well because in Halo 2,3 and Reach Each map pack should be one of my Different names.

Side Note: I just got done playing a game of H4 and for some reason my teammates and hostile teammates seemed to ignore the color of their allies. Like when a guy on my team had a rocket hog (and Ironically i was on the Castle maps) The guy with the rocket hog kept driving away from us the blue team and to the reds and parking for them. I also saw a red guy ram another one with a ghost and my teammates randomly charged at me when i had my over shields… the second the invincibility ran off just destroying it leaving me wondering WTF is going on here.

The actual question should be, where are the Domino and Ivy map packs? Then we’d have all the fire team covered that were introduced in Land Grab.

true i find it a bit weird that there hasn’t been any new map packs
announced. All the Halos have 3 map packs so IDK what will be next for Halo 4.

Halo 2 had four map packs. The first three were made by Bungie and varied from 2 to 5 maps, including some remakes. The fourth was made by Certain Affinity and contained two remakes.

Halo 2 had four map packs.
Halo 3 had four map packs, five if you include the Cold Storage standalone.
Halo: Reach had three map packs.
Halo 4 has three map packs.

Just after PAX, 343i did a Q&A in the Bulletin, this particular question and answer should interest you.

Are there any plans to further support Halo 4 after the next title update?

We intend to support Halo 4 through Matchmaking, events, essential fixes and playlist design for a long time to come - and while there are no announced map packs after Castle releases later this spring, we have some cool ideas about future content and support that we’re tinkering with right now.


Castle might not be the last map pack.

Like you said Moa, there might be a new map pack ( Ihope so), or they mean creating playlists out of community maps.

To answer the topic question: I think, because they get honored with this. ‘Honor the fallen’. Most monuments or whatever are named after people who died. I suppose that’s the reason.

Or simply because Team Castle is/was one of the top three tams on the Infinity.

I hope they don’t do any more map packs. Honestly, we pay for them and then never get to play on them anyway. The entire Limited Edition was based on these maps and we never get to play on them. Once in a blue moon.

I know, I know, quote this and tell me all about how you get the maps 9/10. Well, most people don’t. 343 needs to realize that DLC maps don’t work for Halo anymore because no one buys your content.

And yes, I am mad. I paid for the damn products and can’t use them. Enough with multiplayer DLC, 343.

Or they could just make the map packs necessary to play on playlists…

It’s what they did in 3 and reach.

Halo 3 had the luxury of the ODST disc and still works to this day. I can STILL get DLC maps on Halo 3 and that to me is awesome. Halo: Reach restricted only certain playlists for DLC but very few of them.

If Halo 4 did it then everyone would be complaining.

Have you readen the new bulletin?

I think, it’s fine how it is now. The reason why the map packs doesn’t show up is because it requires ALL players which you found in MM to have the packs.

Anyway, I don’t think that is what the OP questioned. We have to stay on topic.

Eh? Fireteams Crimson and Majestic got their own map packs, too. You do know there are two other map packs available, right?

Fire Team Castle was shot down while in a Pelican above Galileo by 4 storm rifle user minor elites lol.

By the way

  • They were one of the top fireteams aboard Infinity
  • Honor the Fallen
  • Castle is a cool name

I think you’re thinking into this a bit too hard.

I hope we have a Remembrance Map Pack, containing 3 or 4 maps from CE/CEA, 2, 3, and Reach. If 343 did that, i think it will bring back some players.

No remakes, ever. The Halo 4 sandbox ruins them.

Castle are kewl gaiz they kill doods and doesn’t afraid of anything

I’d be interested to see sandtrap with the weapon tuning, the DMR won’t have as crazy range

Repling to you and Onxy Melon…I forgot about all the Halo 2 map packs and Halo 3 only had 3 map packs. Heroic, Legendary and Mythic Mythic just had two parts of it. Also yes i do remember cold storage but (this is just me) I don’t think a single map just for fans going under Map Packs since technically it isn’t a pack just one single map. H CE i can’t bring into this because i played it in 2002 and had it for my Xbox and was unaware of any map packs.

Shadow Map Pack FTW!!!

I wish there was one anyway…
