thanks for posting.  Would've been nice if there was some midship and warlock.

Yeah, you get the feeling they're holding those and Onslaught until later.

We won't be seeing Midship in H2A since it's already been shown to be in Halo 5.

True about Midship. Frankie said so on NeoGaf.

It truly begs the question from me though. H2A is a modified engine but the map graphics are pretty much next-gen. Why the hell hasn't 343i standardized it's map format so they can easily port maps forward?

Gah.  That's right.  I remember seeing that before, too.  Thanks.

 

You know, that's really not a bad question.  I remember hearing from folks that they could make a Halo game, but have every single Halo map ever made as a map in the game, and I remember thinking (and probably typing) "That would never happen".  Not only has it happened, but we're at a point where it could even possibly get carried over into Halo 5?  I mean, what's a more sure fire way to print money than having a cross section of each Halo game's maps held back for DLC purchases (except Reach.  I wouldn't wish those on my worst enemy.)

 

(Note, I've seen absolutely nothing on the Internets about the maps from every single Halo game getting rolled into every following Halo title.)
