Microsoft and developer 343 Industries have already outlined Halo 4's map packs, but specific dates for the DLC may have just leaked.

A forum user over at The Halo Council has spotted an advertisement on the German Xbox 360 Dashboard that appears to reveal the dates for the game's DLC map packs.

The Crimson Map pack hits on December 10 (including the Wreckage, Shatter (above), and Harvest maps), Majestic is on February 25 (Landfall, Monolith, Skyline), and Castle hits on April 1 (Daybreak, Outcast, Perdition). Developer 343 Industries has not confirmed the information.

For more on these map packs and particulars on the game's season pass, check out this previous story.

can't wait, tired of playing the same 3 maps over and over

Already? Isn't it best to wait a little longer so that you grab the player just as he is starting to get bored? Well, good for Halo fans I guess.

I'll repeat what sir PING1 said.

Sweet! Yeah this is a must buy for me, kinda bored og ragnarok and exile.

I need an Xbox. When I get one I will have all of this generation's consoles!
by markus1142 Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:08 AM

Any ideas if the new maps will be fully usable in Forge (I.e. being able to place structure, not just move spawn points an stuff?) I miss having a huge canvas like Reach's Forgeworld.
by BioCobalt Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:09 AM

This reminds me... I need to purchase that season pass...
by LGAR Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:11 AM

And yet the only map people will want to play is Ragnarok. God I'm so sick of that map -_-
by Robertman2 Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:12 AM

I need an Xbox, Though I will probably have to wait til the next Xbox, cause I just got the Wii U.
by Mattyhew Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:14 AM

This might be the first time I ever buy a map pack. Halo 4 is the best multiplayer experience I have ever played. (NOTE: MMOs don't do it for me)
by JamesK93 Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:14 AM

I thought we already knew this? At the very least the December 10th one was known.

This reminds me of when the waiter at Uno's took my change and then I tipped him too. Probably a distant relative of a seagull.
by ThatBoyNice247 Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:24 AM

I can't wait. Ragnarok and haven are the only maps people pick.
by WalterDitto Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:25 AM

anyone take the halo 4 iq quiz on the dashboard? it is messed up. the last Q is storm rifle. but no matter what you pic it will say your answer is suppreser and when you pic suppreser it saya you got it right.
by edgarz1459 Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:26 AM

meh
by Trenchmace Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:27 AM

Cool, seems a little soon though.
by darkflamemaster Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:27 AM

oooh. interesting!
by Cru Hunter Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:30 AM

Kinda wish they'd focus on making SO better, but I guess new maps would suffice
by Nick Luda Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:32 AM

Good, I'm tired of the lack of maps. My only issue with this pack is that it's coming way too early, just a little over a month from release. There should have been more maps to begin with.

But hey, I love Halo, so I'll buy the season pass and I'll be glad to get some new maps. Though I hope 343 will start making multiplayer maps in Forge and inset them into the playlists for free.
by Zachary Pligge Monday, November 26, 2012 at 10:34 AM

Awesome! I can't wait for some new Halo 4 maps. I am surprised the first map pack is coming out so quick.
