Halo 4 'Castle Map Pack' favors simplicity over flair and it works

Posted by aisiy on April 28th, 2013

343 Industries have taken a bold approach to Halo 4 DLC – an approach Buy SWTOR Time Card marked by minimal flare and a significant amount of trust in the players. TV spots and maximum preview exposure have gone by the wayside, especially in comparison to Halo’s first-person shooter counterparts, in favor of simply releasing the DLC and letting the fans feed on it. To be fair, it’s an approach that seems to have worked. Heck, Halo 4 as a whole has worked, and fans will be thrilled to know that this statement includes the title’s latest DLC release, the Castle Map Pack.

Simplicity is an appropriate word to use when describing the Castle Map Pack. It’s not chock-full of unnecessary content. In fact, it’s merely three maps for 800 MSP, but these maps return the series to its original form by spotlighting gameplay over visual flare.

The first map I had the chance to explore was “Daybreak. ” While the map itself certainly has enough visual flash to satisfy the most keen-eyed fans, it’s impressive thanks in part to its three-tiered structure that sits most exquisitely within its rugged highland biome. This arrangement includes a lengthy vantage point for snipers and other ranged weapons to battle upon, and a ground-level combat zone that’s feverishly deadly near the middle of the map.

But perhaps what sets Daybreak apart is its ability to include vehicular combat in what could have easily been a mid-to-close-range map. Warthogs, Banshees, and other weapons of mass destruction are strewn about at each team’s spawn area, and they're easily accessible throughout the outer “ring” of the map.
