Halo 4 gets 'Extraction' playlist and new Forge maps next week

4.7
With the first season of Spartan Ops over, the focus of next week's Halo 4 update will be on competitive multiplayer.

The 'Extraction' game mode is now available in both Team Throwdown and Majestic Team DLC, but, as of Monday March 4, the mode will get it's own standalone playlist.

"Extraction is a 5 vs. 5 objective-based game type where opposing Spartan teams are tasked with extracting assets from various sites around the map. Once a team has found a site and is in position, they must plant their beacon and protect it from the opposing team while the extraction process occurs. If the defending team remains in control of the beacon, they receive one point, however if the opposing team overtakes the site before extraction is complete, the point is theirs. Once a site has been extracted, a new site becomes available. The first team to extract five points wins."

Capture the Flag playlist will also be updated with two new maps - Simplex and Settler.

"Simplex, an arena-style map from community forger SaLoT, has seen the spotlight in both the Community Forge Test and Team Throwdown playlists.

"Settler is a fast paced, semi-symmetrical on-disc Ravine variant that rests atop a verdant cliff side - it will be appearing in Matchmaking for the first time, slightly tweaked for 5 vs. 5 CTF."

That's good to hear, Halo 4 is better in my opinion.


Good, I'm so sick of BO2. It's terrible (Multiplayer)


I'm sick of COD in general. Not even excited about the newest COD. Who cares.


Cod's dead really, It's just addictive.

It's not terrible, it's just the player who is. It's not the games fault it's your own. The only thing you can blame the game for is the server lag. That's about it aside from the bugs and all but those are still in the progress of being fixed.


I'm fine at the game, I'm prestige master with a 2.3 K/D (legit). I'm calling the game terrible because of how repetitive I've realized it, it is the same thing every year excluding zombies and campaign. With the addition of some new guns and maps.
