bleh.. Im kinda disappointed with the mapset.. I think sanctuary is too small.. warlock is wizard from halo 1 but with stone texture set... turf is a very tiny chunk of city.. containment is pretty nice on the other hand
on a 1 to 10 scale
Sanctuary : 4 / 10
a very dismal map, easily forgettable... wasnt worth waiting this long for
Warlock : 1 / 10
did we really wait this long for a rehash with different tilesets? please, give me a break.. this map should've been called magician, so it could vanish from our lives
Turf : 6 / 10
while its a very nice feeling to not always be restricted to alien world maps.. this is just too damn small.. you walk down an alleyway and you're already half way around the map.. nuff said
Containment : 8 / 10
getting a 10/10 just doesnt happen coming from me.. unless the map is godly in every way (power up placement, different routes to support the different weapons, interactivity etc). However I love this map because its a long stretch with small caves on each side to weasle your way into the enemies base.. theres also a gate control to drop a ramp to either base that allows surprise warthog visits (this little interactive piece alone keeps the map interesting.. none of the other 3 have any interactive devices, that I know of) , and the variations in terrain combined with the snowy outdoors really makes for a fresh experience.. yay for bungie.. hands down my fave map out of the 2 packs
as for the other 3 maps.. shame on whoever created them.. they obviously werent a first person shooter fan.. and were fresh out of ideas.. as noted with the rehash map comedicly dubbed warlock
sat, your not giving credit where credit is due. You have no clue do you about how many people wanted small maps for team slayer.
First off warlock isn't a direct re-texture. it's considerably larger sized, and has a few neat additions that keep it fresh. the eye candy alone rocks. try it with shotguns.
7/10
turf is awsome. its small size works perfectly for a no radar TS and RP. territories rocks on it.
7/10.
sanctuary is a great medium sized map. good graphic effects, enough room to drive a ghost or hog, good weapon diversity, turrerts, 7/10.
containment. ****ing awsome.
9/10
I was basing it soley on having played quake 3, counterstrike and jedi knight series and downloading fan-made maps that actually had interactivity and quality put into them. I suppose you're right about not having enough small maps, but Im a fan of big-team battle.. so the pack was kindof a letdown for me 🙁

jedi knight was a letdown. you'd think with all the jedi gamorreans, and lando callrissians, that they were just pulling lightsabers out of their ass.

I still want more big team battle maps.. 🙁 Im tired of zanzibar, coagulation, water works.. etc.. I'd like something very.. corridor-ish.. like a maze of tight hallways with no windows or something.. I think that'd be hot
new playlist ****ing suck.
double team gives you team rifles every 3rd game. I hate rifles.
BR start on almost all levels. that ruins so many things....
double team playlist ctf is horrible....if they get a sword, rocket, or a lucky kill and kill both of you, they can get the flag halfway across midship before you respawn.
