The bullet marsh is...how should i put it...****ING AMAZING! the thing i admire most about these maps is the way it makes you take cover. there are many sandbags and pillars and bricks that almost pressure you to play it like the single player.

Bullet Marsh is almost territorial, since both sides are essentially equal, and it's a snipers paradise. out of 16 kills, i got 9 headshots in a 7 rounder. the rest were boomshot kills and shotgun kills. all of my it also allows you to try to flank the other team, but if the team is paying attention, it's sort of futile. there is a boomshot in the middle of the two "territories" that a brave soul could go for if not afraid of sniper fire. to counter the sniping, there is a smoke grenade pickup right by the boomshot, so they can make a clean escape if lucky. the kryll effect works perfectly, without actually killing you per say, unless no one is there to revive you. Graphically, it's the most impressive map I've seen to date, with rain effects that make the mansion pale in comparison.

Garden is just hectic, especially with the hammer of dawn. if you can get the hammer before the other team starts going for their sniper buttons, you can take them out in the process. Graphically i wasn't too impressed with this map, since it's a little garish, but the amazing amounts of cover adds a whole different element to the game. chainsaws galore!

Process is a little different from the rest, with a strange neon powder blue hue throughout, with touches of bright yellow imulsion. The torque and boom seem to be the hot spots, but boom beware! It leaves you pressed up against a wall if you go at it alone, and with a torque on the other side of the fence, you can get stuck through it. I'd say it's closer to the old maps, since it is just the standard run for the weapons and shotgun, more or less. Lots of cover here as well, and a sniper if you like. Not my favorite, but it's still enjoyable.

Subway is basically escalation with bigger guns, and a harder run to the top. Boomshot, torque and grenades on bottom, sniper on top. I haven't tried this one enough to comment on it yet, but it seems like it had potential.

there is one little thing i noticed on this map though: the white pickup trucks that can be used for the skydiving glitch now have bars on the back to prevent you from getting in. good stuff.

A+ to Epic on this one. It changes the entire feel of the game in a perfect way. My outlook on the game is revitalized and my enthusiasm has doubled, if that was possible. Good price too.

Thanks again Epic.
