Major Nelson has announced on his blog that 343 Industries has unveiled the Halo 4 Games Pass, which serves as a Season Pass for the upcoming content which will be revealed in the months following the launch of the highly anticipated shooter.
The season pass will retail for 2000 Microsoft Points ($24.99 USD), and will include 3 upcoming War Games maps, which will grant a 15% discount.
The map packs include:
Crimson Map Pack (December release timeframe)
* Maps: Wreckage, Harvest, Shatter: Witness the chaos of a clash of civilizations in Wreckage, with its blend of claustrophobic spaces and dangerous exposures and venture into the human colony environs of Harvest, and explore a human foray on an alien moon in Shatter.
Majestic Map Pack (February release timeframe)
* Maps: Landfall, Monolith, Skyline: Landfall’s emphasis is on infantry battles against a glittering ocean on a distant world, while Monolith exposes you to the naked vacuum of space – and the firepower of opposing teams, and Skyline’s distinctly industrial feel provides new challenges in somewhat familiar, but occasionally confined spaces.
Castle Map Pack (April release timeframe)
* Maps: Daybreak, Outcast, Perdition: Daybreak is set in a military facility against the backdrop of an idyllic mountain range, while Outcast plunges you into the warrens, canyons and arches of an alien edifice, and Perdition takes players into the heart of an urban sprawl, with tactical speed and situational awareness its key features.
The Halo 4 War Games Map Pass will also include two unique in-game helmets (‘Scanner’ and ‘Strider’) and an exclusive in-game emblem (‘Falcon’). Gamers who purchase the Limited Edition Halo 4 Console Bundle will get the “Halo 4” War Games Map Pass free.
