Excellent - both of 'em.
I've played the Mall mostly, on both teams. Very big and a real trek for the mercs. The whole 'track spies from the comfort of the Security office' thing is utterly pointless - you simply don't want to be sat in the room waiting for a section to flash red - you'd rather be out there patrolling.
It's tricky for the spies too though - they don't have it easy. Forced routes through secure areas, ventilation fans in the vents posing a risk of death if you go near them etc.
There are lots of hiding places and secret routes that take you virtually everywhere, but the neutralisation time is long enough to give the mercs a fighting chance, so you'll need to keep your wits about you - whichever side you choose.
All in all, a fairly matched map (it was said that the mercs had the advantage, but that's balls) and most probably my new favourite :)
---------
As for the Bank, well, I've only played as a Merc on this one. Quite easy to get lost and the first section makes you feel like you're going round in circles and missing out the rest of the map. I' say the spies had the advantage here as there are loads of vent routes and plenty of dark areas to hide in. I've yet to play as a spy so I can't confirm if it is advantageous or not...
Again, a large map, but this time you're helped out by the fact that the 2nd section is closed off until the first one has been neutralised, a-lá Warehouse. Great map, but once in the 2nd room, it's pretty hard for the spies to neutralise.
----------
Er, overall, I'd definitely recommend you purchase this DLC - it's well worth it and will add some more life to an already brilliant game. Only problem is, the whole "I wanna be a spy!" thing comes back into play and people start whining/leaving when they have to be a merc.
£3 well spent :)

That's just plain greed on the part of ubi, but then again it stops users from giving their mates it for free :( oh well I may just do it if it's worth it for my other box.

Indeed. Especially when one smacks Tiltawhirl in the face and falls over, leaving one to stroll out...

Yeah, Mall rocks. But the Bank is pretty good for the Extraction mode :D

Unfortunately you won't be able to transfer the maps to MC. If you want them on another Xbox, they'll need to be downloaded again. That's why I had to re-download all the RS3 maps when I got my Crystal Xbox - The MC would take them, but they wouldn't work once copied over.

Unfortunately you won't be able to transfer the maps to MC. If you want them on another Xbox, they'll need to be downloaded again. That's why I had to re-download all the RS3 maps when I got my Crystal Xbox - The MC would take them, but they wouldn't work once copied over.
