If there's a Warzone Assault map variant of Raid on Apex 7, then no.. Arcadia did not make the cut.
EDIT: Just saw the Warzone Assault variant of Raid on Apex 7. NO Arcadia/New Mombasa city map at launch.

Game looks like everything i love about Destiny pvp without all of the crap that ruins Destiny pvp. Radars, supers, kill trading, and terrible customizations for game modes.

RyanNoob's comments on maps:
"If 343 doesn't use forge maps in HCS I'm going to be PISSED, because these maps BLOW!"
"I don't like any of them."
"They're designed for chaotic play, There are no cross map lines of sight, which essentially eliminates teamshot."
Basically, they're unfocused and built for running around and chasing after players in the action on a different part of the map.

Yeah interesting. He is making some good points about power positions and what not.

Nah. I stopped playing in November, and I have no plans to come back. Well, actually, I came back in May to try the PoE, but it was shit, so I only played for a week.
The loot chase and the MMO elements don't work on me anymore, and the gameplay/gunplay is just not that enjoyable. So yeah, no chance I'm coming back.
Oh no... No more BR fests... For shame...

That isn't his point. The game revolving around "BR teamshooting" is a sandbox issue, which has mostly been resolved. He's saying the maps are poorly segmented.
I don't think him being a "pro" gives him authority over the game, but he isn't saying anything I didn't notice myself from the beta and gameplay thereafter. I doubt my opinion will be much different, although I think "unfocused, chaotic" gameplay can be alleviated with better weapon placement.
Sorry, but with Forge and Breakout maps counting towards the map count and now Warzone Assault maps just being the same Warzone maps, but cut-off at some point, it seems like a pretty weak map line-up.
Maybe Breakout should have launched at a later point (together with Forge for example), so they would have time to actually make more real maps and not put in 7 Forge maps into the game just to be able to say there's 21 maps at launch.
I'm heavily disappointed by this.

I mean yeah, the beta was like that for the most part. If the maps suck from a game play perspective then there isn't anything that would make them enjoyable especially with the crappy aesthetics. I hope this guy's is wrong and for what it's worth it enjoyed the maps in the beta that I played.

Wait what? The assault Warzone maps are just segmented regular warzone maps? Wow that's very disappointing.
Legitimate means they won't ban you. Don't worry about it.

I agree. The map count seems to be getting a little thin. Hopefully the ones coming are quality and arrive soon.
You can't play anything online because you have to be white listed right now. Campaign appears to be good to go though.
That's honestly such bullshit. I don't see the point.
You guys are mistaken about the warzone maps I think. There are 3 maps assault and 3 maps normal. But this is just the pre release playlist where it is mixed so now you get assault on the normal warzone maps too. Assault isn't on a shorter version of the normal map, it's the same map.

I wonder how many of the 18+ DLC maps will be forge pallets and remixes.

We know 6 of the coming maps are Warzone maps. There should also be a fairly healthy sized chunk of BTB maps since that mode is coming alongside those maps.
Those comments remind me of those horrible Halo games were people just pop their heads up from the same place ad nauseam. So, doesn't sound so bad to me except maybe for knowing what is going on in the map at a quick glance so I can understand that negative.

Warzone needs steitzer patched in. Just watched hysteria get a killtac and it was incredibly sterile and hype deflated without his voice.

When did they say that? All I remember them saying is that the game launches with "6" Warzone maps.
We are saying the same thing as you. We know Warzone Assault and Warzone will be separate playlists at launch. But we have come to discover that Warzone Assault maps thus far are just slight variants on the normal Warzone maps but play like Rush/Invasion.
But without bosses and most AI, Warzone Assault is really just a 12 v 12 gametype rather than 12 v 12 v AI.

If we all spin the same way it will spin faster!
Yeah, when was that ever not the case?
If you expected completely original maps for warzone assault instead of battlefield style slices on the same map, your expectations were a little too high.

So basically 3 Warzone maps and their Assault versions.
I don't trust 343's numbers anymore.
This is what I'm hoping...and don't forget invincible lagging red bar opponents. Hopefully dedicated servers mean that won't happen. I'm also frustrated with whatever they've done to the matchmaking that seems to constantly punish me for having a high KDR by putting me in unwinnable matches.
Lol i guess so. Problem is we had seen 4 warzone maps so i expected "Oh maybe the other two have not been shown yet" but in actuality the 4th is coming later and its 3 + 3 remixes.
First two bases are just normal capture points. Kill enough of the other team in the base allowing you to begin capturing. Once the capture meter is filled, move on to base 2 and repeat. Last point of the map is destroying the core.
Probably.

It's not our fault that 343 said 6 maps and showed a map that doesn't even launch with the game without specifying that, it's clear they just wanted to inflate the map number to make the game seem more packed with content.
Not really, since 6 maps means 6 maps and not 3 maps just duplicated.

Pretty much this. I'm okay with the Arena remixes, since those are actually pretty different, but counting smaller versions of the same map as a new map is uncool.
Sigh. H5 is still beating out Reach on the map quantity front, but it's a lot bleaker than I thought it would be.

What map is not shipping with the game? I feel I missed something.

I am not overly concerned with the number of maps, so long as the maps are good. Qualitiy over quantity. That being said, I haven't seen too maps opinions on the maps to know if the quality over quantity pays off.

They showed a huge city map at Gamescom.
My problem is less with the number of maps and more with 343 saying that there were 21 maps, 6 of which are Warzone.
Of those 21 we have 7 forge, 2 arena remixes and then the 3 Warzone "remixes"

That's the way i'm seeing it. I feel like 343i with their constant playtests and playteam actually got some good polish on these maps before shipping them. None stand out to me to be a shitty map.

Does the current MP run off the Day 1 patch? Is it possible that the map could be in that if the current MP players don't have that patch?

And that map is not in the game initially? How do we know this? Sorry as I said I must have missed it....work :/
