Tombstone -
While it is host dominated and you can tell that from which team's BR does more damage from further distance, is an amazing map. I play it and think of Halo: CE. I wish the games were 20 to 30 minutes long with unlimited kills like I use to play on High'em High. I like the layout, and the look. I feel most of the map is not being used in Skirmish games b/c there are certain spots to go to get the flag, score the flag, spawn camp, arm the bomb, and grab the bomb. Don't let me get into Team Ball on Tombstone. It takes twenty seconds if not more to get from Blue Base to the Soda room. How is that good in a Team Ball game? Slayer and Snipers, I have not played that much, but I bet it is fun.
Desolation -
What can I say besides that it is awful without a BR spawn. The map is big. It isn't as small as Warlock where you can get away with SMGs. The best match I played on Desolation was KotH Tactics. Unless you spawn by the BR you are toast. No cover anywhere, the grav lifts make that annoying sound that gives your position away, and if you do use those, your are most likely dead b/c people with BR's are firing at you non-stop. If it was switched to Slayer BR then it would be an ok map at best.
