I've watched the Halo 3 Files Forum a little. People are submitting maps every second of the day 24 hours a day. It makes sense that Bungie can not have played them all already. Bungie is only, from what I've read, 100 or so people. But with thousands of maps being uploaded per day, yeah, not every version of Grifball, Futbol, Football, Soccer, Basketball, Blitz, Rollerball, Hockey, Hili, Tchoukball, Murderball and Neutral Bomb is going to get its own spotlight.
That is very true, the sad part about it is that MANY really great maps get over looked by not just Bungie, but the community as well. I can honestly say that I try and download maps often but there are so many that it’s near impossible to try them all. A great example of this is a race made on Standoff by my friend Whiteblaze142. I know for a fact that more then 6+ hours were put into this map and that it is a very nicely laid out and enjoyable map. You not only do jumps, WALL RIDING and hairpin turns, but you also have some nice open straights that allow for takeovers. He had a few friends edit the map and try it out (myself included) and yet, it was not even on the front page for more then a few minuets and summarily overlooked.
A suggestion to make the map variant file forum area a little less cluttered, why not divide the maps by type? Example: Slayer, Race Tracks, Mazes, Objective, Misc… ect.?
This would allow people to find the style of map they are looking for without having to sift through the dozens of maps variants that they are not interested in.

Version 2: I am not the maker of this track, whiteblaze142 is and although this version says otherwise, I take no credit in the making of this great map. (I have simply fixed some bugs and posted it as I have more time on my hands then he does)

Race Variant: Just the race variant used for these maps.
