The pit doesn't make for a good FFA map IMO, If we took it out we would still have 4 maps left, which is plenty.
Cold Storage, Construct, Guardian, Hybrid.

Yes, its one of the best maps in my opinion with the current setup.
- Frg Cold Storage -
I personally like Cold Storage but I could see more people disliking that map because of it being 'new' to them and some of the modifications. The map was acutally the H1 FFA map and I feel it makes a great H2 FFA map with all the portals... Questionable without the portals as they are what makes the map feel small and exciting and some of the rooms are now almost pointless in FFA.
- Hybrid -
Playing the CGL maps with my friends Hybrid has to be the favorite... I played a 200 point game last night on Hybrid and nobody left, it was fun the whole way through.
- Guardian -
Guardian has to be on the list as its probably the most played MLGish FFA on XBL, its the new Lockout.
- Construct -
Construct is unbalanced.
At the highest level of play it is a lift nadeing fest. Its very control based and when you die you are most likely going to spawn bottom middle. For the average player, getting to the top alive can be difficult and time consuming.
It can be fun in its own way but that is only when your the one exploiting its flaws / going on a spree top mid.
Im a 50 in Lone Wolves and BR start on Construct is basically the same as CGLs settings so I know this gametype very well... The flaws are only made very clear at the highest level of play when everyone understands how to exploit them.
- Summed up -
My opinion is that the 2 weakest maps are Frg FFA and Construct.
The other 3 are solid, I feel like Cold Storage would be a great choice if it was default with MLG weapons.

If i were to see one go i would have to say pit. Its just to big, being in the middle is bad because people spawn all around you, and you have to go middle. You cant stay top snipe because they spawn right next to you. You can stay in shotty because they spawn on needles and flag. Everyone gets pushed in the middle but then they all spawn around you.
Dont get me wrong its a good map, just got good for ffa. Plus for example i was breezing through people untill i got pit, you just cant play it like the rest. People spawn right next to you, around you etc.. it just dident work.
Also os and snipes shouldent be there for pit, makes it a bit un-ballanced in ffa.
Just my 2 cents.

I've heard many arguments for taking the The Pit out of the FFA arsenal and the argument is a flimsy one, but it's still an argument. Being too big? I don't think it is. We have Battle Rifles, remember. OS and Sniper Rifles make it unbalanced. I disagree. The starting spawns are all equidistant from all three, the Sniper Rifles and the OS. There are 3 spawns on each side in the Needler pit, Shotgun and Base. But if there was a map to take out, yes, it would be The Pit. Hybrid will be the first round map we all play on. Frigid will be for the Winners bracket third round, and you guys to practice on in before the event kicks off at noon.
One option is to close off the portals so they are inaccessible. We could forge a tasteful and small enclosement around it. Consider it.

Thought's on having ONE set FFA map. Maybe guardian? That's what everyone plays anyways.
That's what MLG did with midship.
