Crimson Map Pack DLC

[Jam Cliché]

I am a little unsure about this DLC. I am afraid that with Halo 4 going into an early decline, I may not get to play these maps enough to make a worthwhile purchase.

What will decide for me right now is if someone can tell me for certain that FC will be regularly using the Crimson Map Pack.

Otherwise, hey, new map pack, discuss.

We pretty much are guaranteed to use them. Maybe not all of them, but at least one, and more likely two, will be used in the First War. Later wars will continue using them, as well as future DLC.

You can expect us to use them.

Shatter
Diagonally Symmetric 8v8 (I wouldn't even play 7v7 on this. It's that big.)
UNSC-themed
Both teams share a divided portion of a large central structure atop a craggy rock, and each also possesses an offhand, two-story base at opposite ends of the map.

Wreckage
Roughly Mirror Symmetric 6v6, 8v8 (Not all parts of the map are symmetric, but it is mostly the same on both sides. Red has elevation and structural advantage)
UNSC-themed with some Covenant elements
Both teams fight over a myriad of shipwrecked machinery. The central structure is neutral and divides the map's lines of sight, and some of the wreckage forms the bases on either side of the map away from the center.

Harvest
Roughly Diagonally Symmetric 4v4, 6v6 (Most of this map is symmetric to a T. The outside Warthog track is more here-and-there. Also it's pretty big for 4v4, despite what 343 tries to tell you.)
UNSC-themed
A central structure (resembling the map Termainl IMO) lines this map from one end to another, and is divided up evenly between teams. The ground beneath and around the structure is wide enough to accommodate the map's vehicular combat freely.

By the way, you can now download the map pack. Issues seem to have been resolved.

Finally got them. They came with the LE version... I really don't like them at all. Harvest is the worse.. felt like a maze

Looks Like I'm using my saved 800 points then.

Was wrong about Wreckage. Red and Blue are totally opposite to what I thought they would be. Dunno why the dark and bluish side of the map would be Red and the reddish bright side of the map would be Blue. We should switch those. And the flag objectives are crap as usual. Need to move those.

It's free right now...

My emotions are conflicted, I am extremely happy that I did not have to spend money on this DLC but than again I feel bad for obtaining it for free...

[Maxdoggy]

So maybe you didn't get the maps for free???

Aw, shucks.
I don't mind, but that is such a bull PR move just to avoid saying "We fucked up".

EDIT: Lol, they even closed the comments on that post so nobody could call Shenanigans xP

[Jam Cliché]

HAHA, what an asspull. XD

[Lil Nawty Lucia]

Wow I love 343i so much, atleast this way is better than banning everyone. Although it was Microsofts fault.

[KazuhLLL]

Anyone wanna party up and play the Crimson DLC playlist?

[Anarchy]
