Just saw this video some seconds ago, and I gazed upon a remake of The Pit, made by 343i, on Halo 4. But that just seems to be the tip of the iceberg. Quick overview of what is in this Map Pack. - The Pit, renamed to Pitfall! - Vertigo, new dynamic map, you will see what I mean in the video below. - New armor sets. - New weapon skins. - Finally, a new gametype. No idea what it is, but the ending pretty clearly said GOAAAAAAAAAAl. So, mya. I think this is pretty great though, The Pit in matchmaking, and beautifully remade. Along with a new awesome map, armor skins, weapon skins and a "mysterious" gametype. Just watch the video, and discuss! EDIT - Pause at exactly 0:44, where it says "New armor sets." Look at the armor to the left. ****. Yes.
The new gametype is pretty much Assault, here's some gameplay of it: I really don't know if I should buy it. Almost every map pack that has come out since Halo Reach's release has a habit of being around for a week or two, and then completely vanishing from Matchmaking completely.
All of these additions look like good ones. As opposed to the other DLC, I find this intriguing. However, I'm not so sure it's worth the asking price of 10$ to me. I rarely play matchmaking as it is and my main Halo venue, Forge, doesn't get anything from it.
Well, Im gonna be away from internet for 8 weeks starting august 6th, this sucks. Kinda interested in it too.
Exactly what I thought. Assault, glad it is back though. I think the change here is that you can throw the bomb to the place it needs to go. I am probally going to buy it, though I agree with you. Crimson didn't last very long, and it were good maps. Kind of disapointing. Only one armor set in the video got my attention, as I said above. But since they are doing new armor sets, and I saw new Hayabusa armor concept art a month ago.. Could it be related? It would be awesome if they brought Hayabusa back. It is one of my favorite sets. EDIT - Now there are two (three, Hayabusa) I am interested in. ODST is coming back too. Finally, my favorite armor sets are making the return.
What do you mean? Because they just got rid of Caboose's Mk V? I'm sure if that's the case, they'd probably find some way to reintroduce it if they really wanted to. I just feel bad because Halo 4 made it so difficult to make machinima.
This looks like the best DLC since Halo 3. Really excited for it, mostly because of The Pit. Probably one of the, if not the best competitive map in Halo map.
You could already begin to make the map, and then later use the gametype to adjust it. Sounds really awesome to me, instead of brooms (Infinite) Jetpack would be nice. I know you can come up with some awesome ideas yourself. I also heared about a armor modification called "Survivor", and I don't know if I picked up the next part right.. but they say that Survivor will get you out of danger when you are on the brink of losing the battle. Sounds weird to me, they can't just teleport you, yet that is what I heared about it.
It ejects you from vehicles when they're about to explode. There are also 2 others that have been talked about: Recharge - shortens the delay for when your shields begin recharging Resistor - Spartans maintain mobility when they're being shot at: so pretty much everything people hated about Reach sprint, reintroduced... Regardless, that is treading on "pay to win" grounds, which is always complete bull**** for so many people. Here's the poster they released:
funny how it isn't included with the wargames map pass still, it looks promising, might pick up H4 again but still, forge >.< also, vertigo reminds me of zanzibar not sure why...
Resistor seems very OP. However, I hate how much you slow down when you are being shot in the back while trying to run around a corner. I'll probably use it...
This will be because the price of the map pass was decided based on the knowledge that there would be three map packs. Microsoft don't want you to get toooo much for free.
I'm going to use infinite Thruster Packs and a cr*pload of gravity zones. But don't worry, I got it all covered. I'm getting started very soon.
The new gametype looks so god damn awesome. Obviously they wanted to bring Assault back (with the push of the community), but they had to reinvent it because of the new throwing mechanic. I can see it being super competitive with a large skill gap.
