Reverb is a map where you stick to the ceiling. It's a pretty basic map, and this overview covers everything you could possibly need to know about it:

You kill people by knocking them off the ceiling with your infinite ammo Concussion Rifles. It's very teamwork oriented. If you don't coordinate with your team, and leave your sheltered spawn by yourself, you may find yourself in the pit of death at the bottom more than you would like.

The spawn is very basic, just you, your teammates, and 4 grav lifts.

Also, you can take amazing screenshots with Concussion Rifle explosion effects and reload animations:

I guess I'll give a few technical details and strategies:


2000% damage resistance, 25% damage, so you deal so little damage that you couldn't conceivably kill someone by conventional methods (barring assassinations), but you still do a tiny amount of damage, so you get credit for kills when people fall to their deaths.
There is a shield door between the ceiling and the spawns. Stop trying to spawn kill.
Try not to go up lifts right after your friends, feet do occupy space, and in this case, the space that you should be passing through in order to stick to the ceiling.
Look up before you go up the grav lifts, you may want to figure out where your enemy is before heknocks you off the edge with his Concussion Rifle.
Coordinate strikes with your teammates. If you find you keep getting teamed up on, then tell everyone on your team to stop, choose a lift, and then go up at the same time to even the odds.
It's possible to play this with any amount of people. It just turns into an enormous mess with more than ten. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
If you try to join Gold Team, as amazing as it is, don't say I didn't warn you when you spawn alone in the Coliseum. Red vs Blue only.

Note about assassinations: They're the disadvantage to boosting yourself by firing your Concussion Rifle into the ceiling behind you. Now you have to be aware of enemies to stop them from gleefully awaiting the arrival of your exposed backside.

I'll also link to the 3-Plot (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=2184527&player=BadCompany%20Brik) and Crazy King (http://www.bungie.net/Stats/Reach/FileDetails.aspx?fid=9234849&player=BadCompany%20Brik) variants I made. IMO, Crazy King is the best because control of the map shifts almost constantly. 3-Plot if you're playing with immature people who enjoy staying on the bottom for no reason, but otherwise I'd say it's just as good as Slayer.
