Halo 5: Guardians will offer all players the chance to download all of its post-release multiplayer maps free of charge.
343 studio head Josh Holmes told Game Informer (via Xbox Achievements) that 15 additional maps will be available without charge after the game releases.
That's on top of the 20 maps that are scheduled to launch with the game in October.
The free maps should be available to players by July 2016.
Explaining the decision, Holmes said that he doesn't want to divide users into the "haves and have-nots".
"When you have paid map packs and content, you divide the player base into two groups: the haves and the have-nots," he explained.

"The people that have the map pack can play together but the people who don't cannot.
"That to us is a real problem. So we're delivering all the maps to all players free so everybody will be able to play together. That, we feel, is really important to having a great multiplayer ecosystem."
Halo 5's cover art was recently revealed by 343 Industries, and it focuses on the battle between Master Chief and Spartan Locke.
The game is set to launch as an Xbox One exclusive on October 27, alongside a limited-edition console.
