Thanks for contacting X GOD Jon. Hopefully he will get the rest of the maps up soon.
As for Metal Shark Player, I don't know why they decided to add the word Player to the end of the name. Beginning with X6, Capcom decided to have the same names for all localizations so that's why the names sound particularly strange beginning in X6 and extending throughout the rest of the series. (For the record, the translated Japanese names for the X1 through X4 are also a bit strange compared to the English localizations.) Now, X5's English maverick names are a totally different story... It's a bizarre little piece of trivia but definitely worth a read.
