Just tested out the maps in a little one-on-one with my little cousin. Standoff is a nice snipy map (ironic considering the lack of a sniper rifle), with the Laser and BR getting the most action, and the game devolving into a very tense hide and seek amidst the rocks and valleys.
Rats Nest is actually pretty good in 1-on-1, the middle and the area by the pelican got the most hammering, and the solitary ghost is easily combated by numerous other ways so it can't dominate the map.
Foundry is a 1-on-1 masterpiece though, cat and mouse in between the crates is brilliant fun and very tight. There's enough places to get fleeting glimpses of your opponent and set up ambushes, but enough alternate routes that you can be fucked up if you're not watching your back.
Very fun, I just need Bungie to get their act together and release the hopper, so I can own everyone with my knowledge of where the BR's are.

I'm conceptualizing a map in Foundry. For anyone who has the map -
--How many man cannons can be placed in the map?
--Can man cannons be propped up against walls or on their side to launch in various directions, not just up?
--Can the shield doors be put on their side, like a floor/ceiling?
I'll be snagging this tonight and spending the evening Forging in Foundry.

1. 8 by default. Edit: having all 8 activated kinda kills my framerate unfortunately.GhaleonEB said:
2. Yep, they behave like any other object and launch you (or anything else) in any direction seemingly.
3. In a backhand way I could see someone getting a shield door to lie horizontally but they seem to not want to by design.

The maps are terrific. I'm so impressed.
Rat's Nest surprised me. Rat's Nest is probably my favorite vehicle map, even more so than Sandtrap, just because it has more structure. Grabbing Plasma Grenades and trying to stick oncoming Warthogs on RN was really fun, and I'm getting good at it, so lots of Double and Triple Kills for me. Standoff is awesome, too. Also, I think it was a great choice to leave the Sniper Rifle off Standoff. Sadly, I haven't played on Foundry.
I just played by 200th game. Awesome.
My main problem is that all these idiots veto unless it's Rat's Nest. Do these fools have something against variety. It's like early in the beta where everything that wasn't High Ground was vetoed.

Bungie has listened! No more maulers on Construct! 4 maulers down to 2 on Narrows!
Maps are amazing! Standoff is perfect! Foundry feels so.. Halo!

I won't be playing the maps for a couple of months now (next weekend is my last game weeked for a month and half and I'm going to try and finish ME), but please keep posting impressions and screenshots.
Mc Voc, saw the video of your kid and that's so cool and adorable. When I was a kid I was playing with matchbox cars and stuff, now kids have friggin' warthogs.

Just watched the RvB video. I don't know what they do, but there's something about how RvB films their movies that makes Halo 3 look REALLY good. I noticed this when they did their first video for the beta.

Enjoying the maps so far, but I am finding that it's mostly 3-star generals (or whatever they're called) that're playing, making the games incredibly aggressive and unfun. We need more noobs in the DLC hopper!). Also, 12 players is a bit overkill, especially on Foundry and Stadoff (Rat's Nest is fun, looking forward to BTBing that). Objective gametypes like CTF and Assault are really hard with too many players piling in to a very small space.
Other than that though, great maps, enjoying them very much.
