The given descriptions for the maps are as follows:

HeatRay (Deathmatch):
This battle takes place in a night-time urban setting. Players
battle over who gets to use a Dark Walker super weapon after it is
spawned by a passing drop-ship. If you manage to get it, be
sure to rack up the kills quickly since everyone will be gunning for
you. The Dark Walker is like a giant piñata -- when it dies it
drops a U-Damage and a Berzerk power-up. If you want to stay hidden
from the Dark Walker keep an eye out for the Invisibility
power-up.

ShangriLa (Deathmatch):
A stark contrast to HeatRay's moody setting, ShangriLa is a sunny,
tranquil map set high in the Izanagi Mountains. This map is designed
in the traditional style of big Team Deathmatch maps, so it
should please the most hardcore UT Deathmatch players. Fight over the
U-damage in the central courtyard, or try to control the
Shield-belt alley. You can find jumpboots in a vulnerable spot at the
end of a dock, but the risk is worth the reward as they will go
a long way toward helping you control the map.

Suspense (Vehicle Capture the Flag):
Set on a massive suspension bridge deep in Axon territory, this
map is a playground of gameplay possibilities. It's a favorite in Epic
office playtests because you can find almost all the Axon
vehicles, as well as the Redeemer super-weapon. Whether you are
sniping from the bridge towers, camping with the tank, towing
hover-boarding flag-runners from your Raptor, controlling the redeemer
from underneath the bridge, bombarding from afar with Hellfire
SPMA artillery, or doing fast attacks with Manta's and Scorpions,
everyone will find something they love doing in Suspense.
