Castle Map Pack

Hello again, I hope you had a good relaxing weekend. I know I sure did.

Major Nelson surprised us this morning with a treat of castles. Castle Map Pack that is.

Castles Crashed!


The third and final map pack of Halo 4 looks to be the best of all. Which needs a lot to live up to the Majestic Map Pack.

Check out the video here:


What we're in for:

Daybreak:

Two UNSC bases oppose each other in this large asymmetrical map. Teams must split focus between attacking the enemy base while playing close defense to their own. Claim your team’s sniper rifle to cover the central Man Cannon, or grab a Warthog to push through the side channels and flank the enemy base. The Rocket Launcher and Banshee both spawn in positions diagonal to the starting bases; claiming their firepower early is crucial to land the first flag cap or take an early lead in kills.










Outcast:

Controlling vehicle paths is critical in this circular map set in a desert environment. Outcast features frequent Mantis vs. Wraith battles, so teams must keep their drivers informed with constant communication to get the drop on enemy vehicles. While driving the Mantis, you can target fusion coils in tunnels to flush out camping opponents directly into your rain of fire, or cover your flag runner’s dash to a friendly Warthog. If you find yourself without a vehicle, race to the secondary bases to secure a power weapon or drop on enemies for a game-changing hijack.









Perdition:

Blending long sightlines, vehicles, and close-quarters combat, Perdition caters to nearly any gameplay style. Wheelmen and gunners will be right at home in this urban environment as a well-placed Warthog can lock down a quarter of the map, securing valuable ordnances for the team. Learning the interior routes is essential to both escaping danger and finishing off ranged kills. Be sure to look for the Gravity Hammer in Power Station 3 – an ideal revenge weapon against a pesky sniper or a big surprise for an enemy Warthog.








Till next time.
 
damnnnnn, they look pretty nice!
im also hoping for forgeability, hopefully equivalent to Tempest.

im kinda shocked that they all seem to be pretty huge. i figured one of the maps would be small.

Daybreak honestly looks like a nice hybrid of Coagulation and Standoff to me. However, that's just from looking at the current trailer and pictures put up so far.

The maps look awesome. Despite some people being discouraged by the sizes, I still think they're going to be fun! Never judge a map by its size :) Well, either way I can't wait for them to drop. I'm really hoping they give us a forge map :psychoduck:
 
Yea I know. BTB FTW! Can't wait for Outcast looks like a good slayer or CTF map.

I think there was some sarcasm you missed there budy, but you made my day nonetheless. :)

I am stoked for this. BTB is my territory, and so far these look solid. Perdition has me the most excited, as it is basically the kind of thing I forge but made by the devs with all their tools! Now I just hope there isn't something stupid that wrecks it all like keeps happening!
