    it's like newspaper headlines, if you can grab their attention they are more likely to read the article - for example, a newspaper headline like Man Injures Leg will not get as many views as
    Man Falls Into Giant Meat Grinder, even if the content is exactly the same

    likewise: My New Map... will not get as many downloads as Giant Meat Grinder of Doom!!!

    they are basically meant to grab your attention, so you actually look at the map

    It's petty and annoying, but it does work, unfortunately. However, if it uses a bunch of simple, elementary school-level vocabulary words (for an example, 'Chaotic Deathtrap'), then it's safe to assume that the map will turn out to be junk. If it has a more interesting name, such as one that doesn't seem to have relevancy with the map but actually does, then it would have a slightly higher probability of being good.

    I say, "look at how Bungie named their maps, try to imitate them."
