343 Industries have revealed the Halo 4 Crimson Map Pack. this DLC is set to come out for 800 MS Points from 10th December. the Crimson Map Pack includes 3 maps called Wreckage, Harvest and Shatter. also coming on 10th December is a new game type called Extraction. this mode is a 5v58 objective based game type where your teams are tasked with removing items from around the map.
· 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.
