The Castle Map pack is set to release on April 1. Yes, that’s April Fools day. However, I do not believe 343 is fooling us with this map pack.

The three maps are Daybreak, Outcast, and Peridition. Here’s a partial repost of the three maps I wrote about last year. Now here’s the thing though, is this supposed to be Requiem? It’s been destroyed afterall as of Spartan ops Episode 10.

Daybreak: set in a military facility against the backdrop of an idyllic mountain range

I like the concept pic. Though the holes in the mountains are strange. Then again, this is an alien world, so not all of the same rules apply there as on Earth.

Note a similar theme to Complex? No cliff, but the buildings are at least familiar.

Outcast: plunges you into the warrens, canyons and arches of an alien edifice

There’s something I really like about this concept pic. I can’t quite put my finger on it.  Maybe the relative confined spaces yet with enough room for larger scale combat. Dunno, but I can’t wait to see more of it.

Finally, Perdition: takes players into the heart of an urban sprawl

Is this Forerunner Urban sprawl though or human? It could be either from this concept pic.

The fact that this is coming out so soon after Majestic is a GOOD thing. I wonder if there will be and hope that there will be more map packs to come. Besides the normal remakes many want, I’d like to see some maps that portray classic battles within Halo-lore. One for instance would be Corbulo Academy. Think about being able to game on a map based from the web series! Run through as Master Chief (if you configure your armor to be like his). Imagine a Spartan Ops season 2 with RETRO missions??? Then we could play against the Covenant there.
