It’s time for some more Halo 4!

343 Industries’ first map pack for one of this year’s hottest shooters is finally available for download. Weighing in at 528.48 MB at a price of 800 Microsoft Points (included within the Halo 4 War Game Map Pass), the Crimson Map pack packs in three brand new maps; Harvest, Shatter and Wreckage – each with their own unique play style – as well as the new game mode Extraction.

As written on the Xbox Live Marketplace, “if you own [the Halo 4 War Games Map Pass], access map packs thru the Halo 4 in-game store. Do not download from Xbox LIVE Marketplace or you will be charged twice.”

Extraction, as well as all three new maps are available in the latest Playlist Update that went live earlier today. Maps will also be integrated into regular playlists for those who own the DLC. You can read more details about the playlist update right here.

Though Spartan Ops may be on break this month, 343 Industries is hard at work preparing the next waves of episodes. To tie us over, they’ve released this brand new trailer featuring gameplay clips from episodes 6 through 10. Enjoy!
