It hasn’t been too long since the release of the Crimson Map Pack DLC for Halo 4, and already 343 Industries is planning to deliver another set of maps to expand the multiplayer options for players in the game.
343 Industries has confirmed plans to release a new set of maps called the Majestic Map Pack this February. The studio outlined its plans over the game’s official website, Halo Waypoint.
The studio notes that the following weeks will be host to a new update on every Monday, which will expand and improve on existing playlists, see the addition of a new Team Snipers mode, and more. Additionally, specializations that were previously limited to those who pre-ordered the game will be unlocked for all players.
“Matchmaking updates go live every Monday, and potential playlists for the month of February include both FFA and a new and improved version of Team Snipers,” reads the bulletin. “Late February will also bring both a Title Update and the Majestic Map Pack (which includes two small maps and one medium-sized map) to Halo 4 as well.”
