Honestly I'm ready for 343 to make all multiplayer maps. Which ones did they do? The colorful ones? Certain Affinity makes "okay" maps, but this is Halo.
EDIT: Lol Jelyk.

HaloGAF Exclusive: the February Majestic Map Pack reveal

Too much color and not enough diffused lighting in those screenshots for me to believe they are from a Halo 4 map pack. Also, the one with the two bulldozers seems to imply that each team gets one of the same vehicle and that doesn't happen on big Halo 4 maps.

I 100 percent regret buying the pass for the maps.
In Reach we had grey. Now we have brown. sigh

Remember unique looking maps like Heretic, Last Resort, Sandtrap, Ghost Town, Assembly, Cold Storage, Avalanche.. hell, Reach even had Reflection. All of these maps look the same and have nothing unique about them, or anything to make them stand out. They all share so many assets also, its just.. I dunno. Maybe these maps are OK, but they really seem uninspired tbh. Im surprised 343 isn't trying to wow people a bit more, both in looks, design and variety.

This was discussed last night, but with Ghaleon recusing himself and Dax seemingly MIA, I think it falls to kyle to take over the Halo OT.

Even the Reach DLC had more variety, environment wise. We had Anchor 9, Tempest, Breakpoint, Condemned and High Lands. All pretty unique environments.
Guys, may I direct you to the newest Humble Bundle deal:
https://www.humblebundle.com/
It's THQ themed and includes Darksiders, Company of Heroes + Expansions, Red Faction Armageddon, Metro 2033, and Saints Row 3 (You only get SR3 if you buy the bundle above average price).
Keep in mind that you need to spend at least 1$ to get the games on Steam and since these games are only available on Steam (as far as I know) you don't get the games at all if you pay under that amount, only the soundtracks.

At least the concept art looked interesting and varied..

What the hell? On whose authority, yours? You get to decide what complaints are whining and what are valid?
People hear have layed out time and time again valid criticisms against the jetpack. A tl;dr version is: Breaks map flow.
On the maps: Disappointing in art direction and size. Would love to play some BTB on them. If BTB would get fixed.
On the aspect of a Covy map: By the map descriptions we have we're not getting one. Maybe AFTER the season pass maps, if they even release anymore after that. But the main reason we aren't getting one (imo) is because outside of the tiny space inside the Liche, we never see any indoor covenant locations. To put it simply, 343 doesn't have the already made visual resources to make one. They'd have to visualize their version of what covenant looks like form an art direction and then realize it.
Maybe they'll do that soon. Would be kickass if we boarded a covy cruiser in SpOps. But that seems to be the reason we're not getting one. A lot of the maps look very similar. Complex - Harvest
Vortex/Complex - Shatter
Wreckage - Exile/The wreckage areas in campaign.
They have similar art styles and buildings.

That's not why Complex is terrible, though. Complex just sucks because it's a poorly designed, asymmetric map. Size is not the issue. Harvest at least has a tight center area with a ring around it, ala Rat's Nest. I think it has some promise.
it's easier to see red and blue against grey than it is brown.
wait.. these were the concept art for these maps ?? lol what.
There is another concept art that also looks like complex.. does that mean we will have after all dlcs 3 Complex art style maps ?
I still don't understand that part of the game
Is everyone in that station still technically alive?

I was thinking something similar, but
Since the Composer was destroyed, wouldn't the people on the station be ''destroyed'' as well? Or maybe they're uploaded to the domain

It's such a shame cause the concept art looked great, also Colorful.
What happened to Halo...
Say it ain't so?
Haha I'm done. Look I played H2/H3 almost everyday when I could. I stopped playing Reach after a month and bought it again after the removal of bloom(MLG). After 2 weeks of Halo 4 I have stopped playing all together. Spartan Ops is lackluster, MP has minor problems that if fixed could make H4 great and custom games is just a mess so many things wrong. At this point, I'm surprisingly done for now.

Honestly, they're kind of nailing the art. I just wish they were dialing it forward instead of back. There's a lot of yellow and burnt orange in that Harvest concept art, but none of that is in the map. The punctuated blues are mostly above the player and muted. And that sort of thing is pushed throughout.
I do like BTB. Oh, do you mean BTB Infinity Slayer, the incredible new definitive BTB playlist that was heralded by 343 converting Reach BTB into a primarily Slayer/Heavies playlist, forcing me to stop playing it?I like 'em, but I also like BTB. Sucks for ya'll
No thanks!
(Seriously, give me a better BTB that doesn't consist of a single gametype that has time and time again been the worst in every iteration of Big Team and I might play it.)

remember when I said "and I know this is all based on opinion" right in the very post you quoted?
re: new maps - ugly they may be. similar they may look. but at least they'll add some much needed variety in map selection. I'll wait to play on them before giving any real analysis.
Someone tweet back a picture of people playing Turok multiplayer.
But I also liked heavies. *Runs*

Especially now that everyone has a Plasma Pistol.
Jesus christ. If fan engagement couldn't get any worse, passive aggressive, condescending tweets like that won't help.
Don't why he'd be so matte
My name is Josh Holmes and here is a picture of a salt shaker.
This is the most annoying thing about being a fan, you give constructive feedback all the time and they take it like we are absolute idiots or something. You guys want to make a trailer about joining 343 because "you love Halo". What does that exactly mean? You played it at a friends house and liked the story? I've been a fan of the series for 10 years and this shit pisses me off to no end. I'm not asking you to move a fricken mountain here. The currnet maps have glaring issues, it has NO SMALL MAPS besides Haven. Sometimes I wonder why I try, I guess I'm just used to losing since I'm a Lions fan.

I mean, I'll probably have fun on the maps because CTF is good and so is Extraction but I won't sit here and say that I'm excited for the map pack when I was hoping for at least 1 small (actually small (think Midship)) map. I got the limited edition so I'll have it day 1 and I'll probably play with GAF on the maps a bunch but it's not what I wanted.
