If the creator of the map isn't going to update the map any time soon, then yes.

i say no. "beta" gives the impression its not done. i predict it will annoy ppl. they can get off their lazy asses and update their maps or its not going to be included.

...and they're not done, so no. Why include unfinished maps in a map pack?

I thought we were talking about maps that are complete but the latest release is still called a beta, like the first post says.

Yeah it's not a big deal, we can still download the betas from the forums if we want to play them.

yeah my main concern with beta's is that if / when they are ever completed the map pack would then be obsolete and wouldn't be useful...that or I would have to keep up with it and change it anytime something is changed (which I don't mind doing but not every other week for a new beta release)...so they will probably be left out.
