Salebriations mortals!
Well, what happened today?
My inbox tells me that some kind of game called âHalo 4â has been updated with new content.
In my day, the only halos we had were behind the heads of religious luminaries, and they certainly didnât have four of them, no sir!
Oh, thatâs torn it. Iâm going to have to âdoâ this post as a crazy old timer.
The Halo 4 Majestic Map Pack (majestic? Ha! Only HRH is majestic in my book) is due on the 25th Feb.
It contains some things:
Three new battlegrounds for tight close quarter combat! (Reminds me of my all-boys school).
Two new playlists (I do love a good list).
A new free-for-all game type, âInfinity Rumbleâ (Numbers didnât go up to infinity in my day!)
Right, these map things.
First one is called âLandfallâ. I think thatâs similar to landfill. This map will be about infantry battles, âadmistâ a glittering ocean and a city under siege. Where exactly? On a distant world, apparently. Thatâs okay then. It says âThe world of Tribute is now a graveyard, but its capital was once a bright beacon of commerce among the inner colonies.â Well, colonies, now youâre talking. The empire was great once! God Save the Queen! They donât like it up them.
The next is called Monolith. It features an open battlefield and a âForerunnerâ monument that exposes you to the vacuum of space. Well, someone has to do the housework, even in space. It says âThis small map has central man-cannons, short corridors, almost no cover, and open sightlines which make the location great for a mixture of close and mid-range battleâ. Well, I donât know what a man-cannon is, but I donât approve. Youâll go blind you know!
Then thereâs âSkylineâ which is in the air on a construction site. I donât know about that, doesnât sound very safe. Wear a hard hat, chaps. Hang on, this says… âThis map, perched high above the sights of reconstruction in Cascadeâs capital city, is small and symmetrical, perfect for Regicide with a mixture of high and low spaces and plenty of cover.â Well hold on a minute! Regicide?! I wonât stand for it! The dastards are after Her Majesty! Hold on, Lizzie, Iâm coming!
Ahem, yes, false alarm, sorry chaps. You can have a sneak preview on Halo Waypoint, but honestly, why donât you kids have any patience these days?
This map pack costs 800 Microsoft Points. I think that means you have to get it online. I donât trust computers. Whatâs wrong with using the post office?
