BiggD Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Enjoy! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeMNUPFlNxY&feature=g-all]Halo 4 Crimson Map Pack Trailer - YouTube[/ame] 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. Edited December 5, 2012 by BiggD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBmaster9345 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Maybe they'll actually have the stupid fallback servers fixed by the time this hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnout x360a Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'm not bothered by the vanilla maps enough to drop MSP on some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBmaster9345 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Those maps all kinda seem the same, only varying in size, lighting and specific object placement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectorman953 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHMEEDIDDY Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 we should at least get 4 maps instead of 3 from each DLC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WipeoutBoy1 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Sweet hope they are playable on BTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReverendSID Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'll have to see the actual, full maps to make a final judgement. But based solely on that video, I am not impressed. I'd rather they add the 3 pre-made forge maps that are on the disc into the matchmaking rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I mak3 big boom Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 These look okay I guess. Not much info to tell if these will be good or not. Anyone know if these will add achievements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggD Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Crimson Map Pack mostly looks ghey except Harvest. Those maps all kinda seem the same, only varying in size, lighting and specific object placement. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBDanAbstract Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I thought maybe I was just being skeptical about it because of Major Nelsons screen shot, but once again I find myself asking if Wreckage could be a remake, or at least be inspired by, Burial Mounds. Check 1:08 in the trailer at the rib cage like structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i fist brown i Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 looks like the focus is on BTB/vehicles... not interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LickableLemons7 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 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. #April 1st #CastleMapPack #Outcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty-Rex Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 If I didn't have the season pass from the limited edition, I would still buy these maps, despite them not looking really interesting, just so I can play the on-disc maps less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLaKgRaVy Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) 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?

Most playlists only have a palette of only 4 maps. Dafuq, 343i? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
