Standbying, bridging, and modding are all on the increase. Bridging is just so out of control it's to the point where my party will only get host about 1 in every 10 games (until the Americans get home from school). Then, it's about 1 in every 25 games. I don't expect to get host more than any American (due to geography), but at least we used to get it about 1 in every 5 games!

It needs sorting out soon before it gets even worse!

It's a lot like Foundation and Backwash, which were "scrubbed out." Do you think it should share the same fate?

Desolation also reminds me of Warlock, which seems to have a following, now (probably only due to the fact that it's an "MLG map"); but I remember when it, too, was a new map--people HATED it (some still do (I'm one of them).

personally i think desolation is a better map for slayer than tombstone. So i disagree with leaving it out of mm because its a different kind of map, and you need a variety of maps so you don't always play lockout, midship, terminal etc. Because eventually you would get sick of those maps too. But i happen to like both tombstone and desolationand happen to think mm is better with them than w/out them.
