Now that we have them, what do you honestly think about them? Me? Desolation is an ok map but Tombstone is like WTF. It seems like hell when you play team Snipers on that map. And whoever has host is the luckiest person in the world. I give the new maps a 6/10.

They're OK. I prefer them with BR starts though.

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the clichéd lines.

Tombstone at first I thought was really cool but after playing it it got kinda boring. Then again it was on 4v4 and that map seems more suited for 8v8. Desolation is alright. I'd give them 7/10.

I think that is better than starting with an SMG that you can't do crap with. There are other people in the game. When it comes to that I just go for second. I like both of them. Desolation doesn't seem balanced, however. It may be symmetrical but It isn't as balanced as it could be.

I was able to download the original version of the maps back in April, so I had already played on both of the "new" maps before they became free yesterday. But when they re-released them in May, the billing system was massively glitched and I could not download them. I had the obsolete version of Blastacular Pack on my 360's HDD all this time, but I didn't get the up-to-date version untill they were free yesterday.

I think Desolation is ok, but Tombstone is really flippin' awesome (it's Hang 'Em High, it can't suck). It's my favorite map tied with Zanzibar (however, I haven't played on District or Uplift, so I really can't say what my favorite is).

I sure hope that Tombstone returns in Halo 3. If it doesn't, I'll be pretty disappointed, though I'll still love Halo 3.

Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

I highly dislike both. Tombstone is just a horrible remake, Bungie totally ruined Hang 'Em High's fun-to-play-ness. Desolation is just bad... Lack of ranged weapons or just take them out altogether. 2 BR's on the map, rockets, no thank you.

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.

Bungie didn't make the maps certain affinity did.

You get my point though. Bad remakes.

my other account, if you are gonna send me an FR, send it to this account and my Main GT.

desolation would be fun in team hardcore with no overshields ( why the fugg is there 2 overshields ?? ) and take out either rockets or sword. there are too many power-ups and power-weps for a map of that size.
