My Opinion - Compared to his other maps, LEG10N's Se7enth Column is a bit more subtle. But, subtly should not be confused with simplicity. Se7enth Column looks amazing. Insane use of interlocking and perfect geometry create a seven sided circular arena in the shape of Bungie's logo the Se7enth Column, hence the name of the map.

The gameplay is tight. I played it on several different game variants and they all played particularly well with balanced team numbers. Weapon placement is fair and grenades of all types are plentiful. There is plenty of space to engage in close to long range combat.

On the downside, it is a smaller map and with greater numbers spawn killing occurs more often. Also, some of the power weapons (Rocket Launcher, Shotgun, Sniper Rifles, etc.) spawn a little too quickly.

In retrospect, this is a wonderful tribute to Bungie, and I can can only hope that they return the favor and pay tribute to LEG10N. Se7enth Column is worthy of Bungie Favorites, so download and rate this map 5/5.

Gameplay - 9.5
Balancing - 9.5
Originality - 10

Overall - 9.7
