Just wondering whats are the best maps for head to head play. I am thinking of starting a weekly tournament based on solo play.

Also what settings work best ?

Many thanks

lockout is good for some 1 on 1 action.

I think Lockout is just a bit too big, I would suggest Midship.

taz, u made any final decisions yet on maps?

no, but i'm planning on doing some testing the weekend. Wink

but looks like midship, and perhaps lockout, I would like to add one more map for variaty.

or perhaps different modes, like specific weapons.

but for week one, I think i will keep it simple.

lockout is a good map for 1v1

Beaver Creek perhaps?

yeah, Beaver Creek can create some intense 1 v 1 games. it's also small enough so you don't spend 5 mintues playing hide and seek.

I was playing 1v1 tourny, just me and my friends last night, and we used:
Midship:
Only Shotgun.

And it was a blast (pun intended,) we were sticking each other left, right and centre while getting blasted with the shotgun.

Foundation is a good one for 1v1 because you can always fine the person.. its not a cat and mouse game.. its a straight up deathmatch. it would be perfect for tourneys because they would go quick.

Foundation gets my vote

problem is not everyone has Foundation. you either have to unlock it by beating the game, or XBL unlocks it.

All I would say to those people is, To Bad.

Well lockout gets my vote simply because it has no rocket launcher and swords are banned from tourny games. Very Happy

The single shot weapons and no radar are a combination for camping and thats no fun at all.
the sniper rifle is fine because its a weapon that requires skill to use well espically in small levels.
Midship suck's arse its a 5 minute design and as much fun root canal work.
I mean come on bungie you had 3 damn years to make breath taking levels for multiplayer and you turned out headlong and waterworks on large scale and lockout/ ivory tower on small scale the rest were just a let down.
Thanks for your time.

Foundation is pretty good; second only to Beaver Creek. Gotta love swords on Beaver Creek.

Shotguns/Magnums on midship. Full plasma/HE grens.
