Yay! this will be like the first topic I've made that doesn't involve me complaining..

The DNA Map pack should be the quintessential tool for any soldater, hell, bung it in 1.2.1, we don't care!!! it's rocks!!!!

Praise should go to all the map pack makers, don't you think? Some of the maps look sweet and we've been wanting more maps for ages, so lets all plead we can get it into 1.2.1!!!

YAY

Anyone stupid enough not to download this mappack doesn't deserve the sweet sweet maps!

I don't like it so much. Don't know why, maybe the maps are only for dna server,maybe not everyone has it.

The problem with the mappack is that people don't know there is a new version of the new mappack.
And well, the maps.. b3b is sweet, the snow all over the map.. yay. But I don't like most of the other maps I've played. ctf_Death2 is better then Death, but still not good. Then this snow map with 2 bases and sg's all over the map. don't like it. And the one with the big deadly spikes in the middle.. don't like it as well. Then the one with the huge amount of jet, and the high bases, with a big wall between both bases. well, it looks really, really nice, but I don't like the map. It's just too death-like.

I like new maps excep big maps. B2B and similars should be erased from the servers. They are only for campers.

Oh yes, the visibility of some new map is so low...especially b3b and haze.

Ok, here are my opinions about every single map in the mappack. I couldn't test them online, so I played them offline a bit. And I rated them. Like that (don't read this as commands. This are just my thoughts):
[o]: Add this/keep this one to/in the mapcycle.
[x]: Don't add/Remove this one to/from the servers mapcycle.

b3b [o]: Really, really nice look, but it should be easier to get to the upper way. Because now most likely just Minigunners and M79'ers can get up to there, and if the enemy flagcarrier is up there and sniping, could suck.
bridge [ ]: The map's look is okay, but I'm not sure about the gameplay. For me this map is too small. I'm not sure whether it should be kept or removed in/from the mapcycle.
cold_morning [o]: This level seems to be completely good, nicely done.
Death2 [x]: Of course Better than ctf_Death, but still not really good.
haze [x]: The darker version of this map looked much better than this. I really don't like this "creamy" colors. And the map itself, well, it's a bit too much Death-orientated, and it's not really possible to play it tactically I think.
Kampf2 [x]: Seems to be ok. It's much easier to get the flag I think, but not that easy to get to your base with it. But it's too small to be that "open" I think.
Laos2 [x]: 4 ways, but just on the blue side of the map? Seems a bit too unabalanced for me.
Mistlands [o]: Hey, this map looks really great. Just 2 ways, but with enough places where you won't get hit that easy, nice. Just this 2 camper-spots on every sides seem to be stupid..
Run2 [xx]: Don't touch my run! Run is the best map, and the changes in Run2 look useless to me. No, Run is great as it is (just the cover against (?) sniper bullets on the blue side of the tunnel be as good as on the red side.
showdown [o]: Seems to be a really nice map. The blue side just looks as the red side, so it isn't unbalanced.. would really like to play this one online.
trench [x]: Don`t like this one. There's just no place to hide a a bit better than on the battlefield as flagcarrier, and M79'ers can easily come from above and kill the enemy flagcarrier.
Voland2 [x]: The unique look of Voland is nice, so there's no change needed. And the 3 ways of Voland are good as well. I don't see any need of a 4th way directly to the enemy spawn. Ok, most often the enemy flagcarrier is at this teams spawn, and it's really hard to get the flag back then as an enemy, but that's the challenge on Voland, so in my eyes it doesn't need to be changed.

I think:

[x] Remove
[o] Keep

///listed only those i've played with///

b3b [x] I don't like it, just because it's too large and makes my eyes hurt.
death2 [o] better than death, because of the upper way. I think this should be replaced with original the death map.
kampf2 [x] kampf is good as it is right now, no need for improvements.
voland2 [o] it's very nice looking map, lots of fun =)

ctf_bridge is the best one of the maps used on DNA at the moment IMHO.

B3B is a too little big for my liking. Too big for 10 players. :/
