For those of us that bought the new maps, what do you think. My opinion is they are pretty much what I was expecting.
Avalanche is huge. Its cool but its a map I don't really have any use for.
Ghost town is fun I think. Small to medium sized, good for 4v4. Although, shoaib and I agree, there is so much detail in the terain you end up getting caught on stuff. Annoying at first but I think you learn to avoid that stuff. Looking forward to games on this map.
Blackout is fun. There are definitely differences from Lockout...mainly at the sniper tower. You can't drop off s2 to the bottom and have a clear shot down the hallway. There is railing now. I also hope that MLG forges in a platform so you can make the jump from elbow ramp to s2.
Of course all the maps work way better w/ br start and no radar. Too much camping otherwise.

I agree with your thoughts on Blackout... Jeremy and I played a Shotty Snipes game on it and it was really fun.
Ghost Town is not alot of fun unless there are BR starts and neither is Blackout. All you do is Assault Rifle Beat Down which just gets old.
Avalanche is HUGE but I like the design of the bases. A 8V8 would be pretty fun with the right people on that map.
Overall better than the Heroic Map Pack

My Gripes:
Avalanche: YOU DON'T SLIDE ON THE ICE!!!!!!!!!
Blackout: Jumps are way easier, some gone.
Ghost Town: None yet, haven't played a game on it. Just ran through.

As of now there is no plan to make them free. I would imagine that they might be free when the next map pack comes out with the map they delayed and the others they want to add. I'm thinking those might show up around x-mas time.

I heart team objective on avalanche. I would have paid ten bucks just for that. it's a big enough map where if you can see somebody coming, you have time to do something about it. also, tossing a trip mine on the area where the vehicles land in your base is priceless. I got to hear screams over my proxiity voice feature and I never felt happier.
I've already converted avalanche into a super cool race map which is tentatively called "Excitegoose" (I do need some testers)
Ghost town, is kind of a mix of turf and warlock. while a little odd at first, there are different routes to get anywhere you want. THAT I beleive is the key to mastering that map.
Blackout = Human lockout. it's a solid map, ideal for FFA and 4v4 slayer. just watch your back, no place is safe. here I think teamwork is king.
anyway, thats just two cents.

Avalanche = amazing. I played about 10 games on it, and it was insane fun. Eff the Hornet, but besides that, it's amazing.

Avalanche is huge, and really nice looking. And I do have fun in organized big games with vehicles and stuff, so I look forward to some occasional games.
