Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack

1.Foundry: this is the first map i tried out and the options are endless i made probably one of the most beast levels ever ("7th Parallel" shameless promotion i know) but the forging is the one good thing about this map because the default setting almost seems like they just threw a bunch of boxes in a room. i can seepotential if they made a playlist for user created content but other than that the forge is the best option for this map the rest is just decent

2.standoff: great team map with the only problem being that the brighter side of the map has a slight uphill advantage in team games. this is the most visually beautifull map to date in my mind. this map would have been better if bungie had made a couple terrain changes(for example being able to manually raise the giant pads, and acctually adding an incineration room (if there is one tell me)).

3.Rats Nest: when i first heard of this map as an "indoor vehicle paradise" i was thinking giant racetrack level, but to discover that it was a level with a outher rim track that has turns from hell i was dissapointed. then i discoverd that you couldnt even play around the pelican and i was even more pissed off. i can see this level being forged into one of the best infection maps arond.

The bottom line: Make your own decision, if you like any of the previously stated opinion go get them if not wait.
