It's a good start and it is nice to see some changes.
I still feel some of the maps are a bit suspect though.
Bad maps for 1v1s
Boardwalk - Way too large for a 1v1.
Pinacle - Rocket spawn has a massive advantage over who ever spawns at large tower. This map has been removed from most of MM.
Suggestion for new maps
Zealot - This is probably one of the best 1v1 maps on reach. It would benifit using the layout for MLG though, means you cant get into space, teleport from g1 to g2.
MLG Sanctuary - Along with Zealot this is probably the best 1v1 map reach has to offer.
MLG The Pit - Another map that works well in 1v1s.
MLG Countdown - Suprisingly plays pretty well for 1v1s, vanilla reach's countdown dose not though. If used MLG version would be recommended.
Nice to see ZBNS though
