OK well that has potential. when it first started it was pretty fun and players were having a blast. Everybody was playing by the rules. As it wore on it got more difficult to keep any control and players weren't interested in following the rules. The biggest problem was people messing with the hogs instead of playing the game. Leave the mods in the tanks ALONE. I will consider using banshees next time around to keep us away from the morons. Or if its a modded map install teleporters to the roof and put snipers up there that shoot tank shells. The other thing is if you are bored or don't want to play by the rules GTFO and let the game go on. And last at one point we had three people flycamming -- on the same team! Maybe in the future no more then two players should fly cam and they should be hidden in the bases.

Any suggestions on how to make this better or any ideas on custom "house rules" gametype are welcome

I already have, a modded map of what you want so far. The tanks are suspended 20 feet in teh air and there are invisible teleporters going to them. I am using the flamethrower as the super weapon, just need to know what you want it to shot and how much splash damage. I'll take some pictures of it later tonight.
They have teleporters leading to them.
Here is the heights of the platforms right now, I need to adjust the tank platform abit

All shots with me in them showed me in stupid situations.... I guess that is my fault, I was being stupid.

Yesterday night was so fun. I was glad I could make it, my aunt had church session till 10, so I got to skip my studies. xD Naughty me.

My best scenes were when I crossed right in between two charging red's, and ran over a walking red. Boo yeah! Also, I did a mid-air "impossible" stick on DC in Sidewinder. xD

Oh oh oh, one of my best moments in that gathering was my "pride rock camp" trick.

I got up on the rock that looks like the pride rock from Lion King. The reds couldn't run me over, so one of them quickly parked the car in front of the rock and got out to back melee me. I quickly jumped when he got to the back, got into the driver's seat, and put it into reverse, and hit him. I call that the "carjack pwnt". xD

We should have a whole series of games like this. Like we could do chicken in gyrophobia, if you get shoot into the air you are almost guaranteed to die. Or we could do a game with oddball, you need to go from one base to the other and back in a car without dieing or being flipped out of your car.

Also, there was quite a bit of killing outside of the arena, it seemed.

Edit: Nah, my idea wouldn't work out too well. :(

How about Football Fridays?:

Everyone gets in two teams of 7-8. Just like ordinary football, except with the oddball skull. The opposing base's entrance is the touchdown line. There can only be melee's (tackles), no double melees, no nade throwing, etc. etc. You can only hit someone who has the ball (as in "tackling" him), and/or someone you run into, and will interfere with the touchdown's success. You can pass the ball to a teammate, by "letting go" of the oddball (the football) by jumping and releasing in a push/jump motion to let it soar.

^ I've always wanted to try that out with my clan members. The only flaw of this will be the fact that there will be the usual "oddball timer".

As much as I like that idea, you're right about the oddball timer. Unless it were a football game where the team to get to a certain time wins. That could work out. And what about blocking? If you only you could like juke, or stiff arm. xD

Isn't assault with one flag "football"? Set the flag to return on it's own after 30 seconds. Have no vehicles, spawn us in with empty plasma pistols, (is that possible?), or the least effective weapon.

I showed up early and left before the real start. My ping was like 267 or so. I'd bump someone out of their hog and they'd get back in before I could swing back and sqash them. Once I got bumped out and some guy got in my passenger seat as I was trying to get back in, so I shot him with my plasma pistol. He cried like a little school girl. A couple of times I shot at people who were trying to run me over. I mean a plasma pistol agains a shielded player in a hog is not gonna do much. Don't expect me to stand there and get run over without putting up a fight– it's a basic instinct.

Here's my footage of the carnage. I don't know why it cuts out, it was supposed to be 7 minutes long. Oh well. Flycam FTMFW!

It would have to be set to Plasmas only. Even if it was normal settings (custom starting weapons), in a map like BG, it would have the AR/Pistol as starting weapons. Longest, it would be the plasma rifle.

I'd bump someone out of their hog and they'd get back in before I could swing back and sqash them.

Same, that occurred a lot.

Only melees is actually surprisingly hard and funny, try doing it on wizard with no shields and 50% health. Oh and with 16 people running around trying to assassinate eachother...

As for these custom games, that's why we need to get a custom edition server! :p There are already haloball and football maps.
