So is this confirmation that we will get new maps for BTB and Arena outside of Forge maps and remixes?



You don't have to be so slick and mysterious when you very well know that simple, direct answers can alleviate concerns lol. Allowing people to assume the worst, and further allowing that skepticism to build is what hurts you guys. "Yes there will be dedicated BTB and Arena maps like you saw in previous Halo map packs" or "No, we are focusing on highly tuned Forge maps and remixes as DLC." Instead, being so coy about things only leads to further mistrust and gaming media outlets calling you liars.



I understand game development is complicated, much like many other things in life, but is it really asking too much for direct answers for things that shouldn't be mysterious? It's either you guys have them in the pipeline or you don't, and if you don't then let us deal with that now instead of the constant backlash you'll receive whenever there's something fresh for you to talk about.



And I don't mean this to sound offensive or anything negative of the sort. I'm just concerned because you guys put yourselves into positions that could have been avoided with better transparency, in my opinion. People fear the UNKNOWN, so the less you allow Halo fans to let their pessimistic minds run, the better. It's like when CTF was revealed with no details on auto pickup and dropping the flag. It took days, if not weeks for that to be answered, all while the community was fighting with itself, fueling the lurking trolls waiting to say "I told you Halo sucks!"
