Microsoft has confirmed plans to launch Halo 4 DLC the Majestic map pack next Monday, February 25.

Priced at 800 Microsoft Points (£6.85 / €9.60 / $10.00), the add-on will introduce three multiplayer battlegrounds optimised for close-quarters combat. It will also feature two fresh playlists and a new free-for-all game type dubbed Infinity Rumble, which will be exclusive to the Majestic DLC playlist for a limited period, plus ten new Achievements worth a total of 250 Gamerscore.

New screens of the Majestic map pack can be viewed above and you can watch a trailer for the DLC below the official description of its contents:

  • Landfall map: A shining city under attack… The world of Tribute is now a graveyard, but its capital was once a bright beacon of commerce among the inner colonies. Fight in the corridors and courtyards of Casbah’s port authority buildings, but don’t stand still too long. Perfect for Infinity Slayer, this small to mid-size asymmetrical map offers interiors with sparse cover, which encourages close-range combat, while the exteriors offer long lines of sight to stalk your opponents. Awesome jump routes let players spring around the outside of the map, incidentally offering a perfect view of the city as it is razed by the Covenant’s brutal assault.
  • Monolith map: Adrift in a forgotten asteroid belt… This monument and many like it were built by the Forerunners after their final victory over the ancient humans. This small map has central man-cannons, short corridors, almost no cover, and open sightlines which make the location great for a mixture of close and mid-range battle. Monolith harkens back to more classic “Halo” arena-based maps, and its symmetry lends nicely to objective-based modes like Capture the Flag. Monolith is an open battlefield; wherever you look, you will witness the ferocious action that only a small and open map can provide.
  • Skyline map: Combat analysts agree… The rooftop terrain on this new space tether construction site is an ideal training environment for close-quarters infantry combat. This map, perched high above the sights of reconstruction in Cascade’s capital city, is small and symmetrical, perfect for Regicide with a mixture of high and low spaces and plenty of cover. Don’t think cover means you’re safe, however – this map holds explosive fuel cells that can and will wreak havoc in Skyline’s confined spaces, not to mention the long, long drop if you misstep.
  • Infinity Rumble: Halo 4’s new game type is exclusive for a limited time to Majestic Map Pack owners and brings a few new twists to the War Games experience. It is a free-for-all game type where players can earn personal ordnance; all special medal and style kills help you earn ordnance faster, and you can also earn assists off of enemy players for even more medal points. Players must carefully conserve and use their ordnance at just the right moment, or combine power-ups with power weapons in the race to be first. Every kill, and every death counts in Infinity Rumble, and this is reflected with a slower spawn time in the free-for-all matches.
  • Majestic FFA: An incredibly intense free-for-all playlist. Players are all alone in this playlist with seven others, vying for first place.
  • Majestic Team DLC: A 4 vs. 4 playlist that focuses on both team play and tight objective combat.

Following Majestic's launch, Microsoft will release further Halo 4 DLC in the form of April's Castle map pack.
