Outcast Map details

Welcome to Outcast!

Outcast is a fortified network of rebel facilities that features a winding network of vehicle pathways. Built for vehicular combat such as Mantis vs. Wraith battles, this map offers a wide open outer ring with a central tunnel system that demands close quarters combat at times. Suggested game modes on this map include King of the Hill, Team Slayer and Capture the Flag, but the map will support a variety of game modes within Halo 4.

When playing, you’ll notice that the Wraith and Mantis spawn opposite from one another. If you’re piloting one, be wary of the center of the map – the corresponding adversary may be right around the corner. My personal favorite loadout on this map is:

• Starting Weapon: DMR
• Secondary Weapon: Plasma Pistol
• Grenades: 2x Plasma
• Armor Ability: Thruster Pack
• Tactical Mod: Mobility
• Support Mod: Sensor

My favorite game type is Dominion, due to the way that the bases are built into each cliff. Because of this, the map provides a unique Dominion experience in which infantry will constantly battle for control of bases, vehicles and pathways.

Thanks for checking out this sneak peak of Outcast. The Castle Map Pack launches on Monday, April 8th and can be purchased from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points, or as part of the War Games Map Pass, also available from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Outcast is an outdoor desert cliff environment.
