EDIT: Right from our Home Page News:

 

Wreckage: Wreckage is the manifestation of the chaos of war. A medium-sized, asymmetrical map great for accommodating a wide range of objective-based game modes including King of the Hill and Capture the Flag. It is a ravaged environment of crashed debris, where the surrounding destruction creates complex paths perfect for throwing off your opponents, or testing the limits of your Warthog. This devastated landscape provides plenty of cover, with tons of nooks and crannies at your disposal while fighting for your turn to become King. Wreckage supports up to 16 players in Infinity Slayer and up to 12 players in a variety of other modes, including Capture the Flag, King of the Hill and Oddball.

 

Harvest: Harvest is a canon concept brought to life – the doomed agricultural planet where humans first made contact with the Covenant. A small to mid-size map, Harvest is ideal for Capture the Flag. Here, you’ll need to get creative to effectively use light vehicles which are limited to the exterior pathways and can’t get into the bases, making this map perfect for infantry firefights and face-to-face skirmishes. Snipers will also feel right at home; long sightlines are broken up by great cover and hiding spots. Harvest allows up to 12 players to face off in Capture the Flag, Infinity Slayer, King of the Hill, SWAT and Slayer Pro.

 

Shatter: Shatter is themed around natural crystalline surfaces and the huge UNSC factories mining them. This large, symmetrical map is a playground for the Warthog and Mantis - its open pathways make it easy to get around, whether on foot or in vehicles. Shatter is a great fit for Dominion and the new game type Extraction. For some close-quarters face-time, escape the open landscape and duck into a mining facility, or slip through a doorway and hunt unsuspecting Spartans. Shatter enables multiplayer mayhem for up to 16 players in Infinity Slayer and up to 12 players in other modes, such as Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, Dominion and Extraction.

 

“Extraction”: Extraction is a 5 vs. 5 objective-based game type where opposing Spartan teams are tasked with extracting assets from various sites around the map. Once a team has found a site and is in position, they must plant their beacon and protect it from the opposing team while the extraction process occurs. If the defending team remains in control of the beacon, they receive one point, however if the opposing team overtakes the site before extraction is complete, the point goes to them. Once a site has been extracted, a new site becomes available. The first team to extract five points wins.

 

Crimson Map Pack owners will also have exclusive access to a single premium playlist that will feature the new maps and will be the only place players can experience 6 vs. 6 matchmaking experiences, the new Extraction game type, and a wide range of voting combinations for different maps and modes.

 

*There will be 8 new achievements for 250:gsicon:. The Achievements can be viewed HERE.

Those maps all kinda seem the same, only varying in size, lighting and specific object placement.

 

Right? Shatter and Harvest look way too much alike. Shatter being a slight bit "darker" with some green rocks thrown in. I blame the visual palette of the UNSC buildings. bleh.

Wreckage looks a lot like Vortex to me.

 

Impressed, I'm not.

Crimson Map Pack mostly looks ghey except Harvest.

Agreed. Nothing special here. While none look appealing, Harvest is the only decent looking one.

 

Sweet hope they are playable on BTB.

 

Seems only Shatter will be since the other two maps are small to medium-scale.

Extraction sounds promising.

 

The maps, I'm not interested in. Except for Harvest, because of its canonical purposes. Too bad we can't play as Elites in War Games, or else the community could've made some damn fine machinima on Harvest.

Harvest looks like Complex (texture and palette-wise), and we all know how many people hate Complex... ;)

 

"Extraction": "Headquarters" from CoD.

 

Hell, they took loadouts, perks and challenges from CoD, why not a game mode?
