Halo 4 Castle Map Pack Hits Xbox Live Next Month

Posted on Monday, March 11 @ 12:34:30 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


Halo 4's next round of maps will be launching on Xbox Live on April 8th. The Castle Map Pack will feature large, sprawling levels that are best suited for massive firefights. Get a look at what's in store in the video above.

The three maps included are called Daybreak, Outcast, and Perdition, all of which were developed by Certain Affinity. Halo Waypoint gives a brief overview of all three:

Daybreak places you amidst military facilities, against the backdrop of an idyllic mountain range, while Outcast plunges you into the natural tunnels and arches of a secluded rebel outpost. Perdition takes players into the heart of an urban battleground, where tactical speed and situational awareness are essential to achieving victory. 

The pack will be priced at 800 Microsoft Points ($10). Will you be picking up these new maps, or has your interest in Halo 4 waned thanks to the onslaught of new titles 2013 has offered? Let us know in the comments below.

    From that video it still seems that Certain Affinity doesn't get Halo. Their maps seem more tailored to fit Call of Duty than Halo. The maps are just "too busy" they've got so much crap stuffed into them, all these large hills, buildings, rock out croppings. Yeah, they're great for cover and force closer combat, but Halo was never about that. The bigger maps have always had long distances, with shorter routes in places for cover, that made the game a longer combat affair.
    CoD was never about that, their maps have always been close and packed. I don't mind CA's CoD maps at all, but I haven't played one Halo map from them that I liked. I miss maps like Blood Gulch (or CoAg in 2, which was online, so don't try to tell me maps like that don't work online) Sandtrap, Valhalla, Avalanche, Standoff, even Last Resort (Zanzibar) had the more wide open spaces. Where is any Halo 4 map with any qualities similar to these maps? Valhalla? They just import an old map? Not cool.
