A Custom gametype include is:
Battle Rifle vs Covenant Carbine or BR vs CC, this gametype is my favorite, for it allows players to test their skills in a battle of human ballistics, or covenant carbination( whatever you call it). You'll notice an arousal everytime you kill the opponent regaurdless of his or her weapon choice, of course it is always best when weapons are opposite of each other. I enjoy making this game tatical to where the BR is used more for close to mid range battles, and CC for mid to far range battles. Try it, you'll like it. Oh yeah, if you want to make the game more realistic, set weapons on map as none, therefore creating an objective behind killing your opponent, which would be taking his ammo for your own.

My friends and I call the Small tower with invisibility in Zanzibar the "Clock Tower" (No idea why!)
The two Purple alien things on Burial Mounds "Nipples" or "Purple Nipples"
The Alien Beam Rifle is a "Beemer"
The shotgun is a "-blam!-Stick" for obvious reasons to anyone close enough to see it in action...


For Custom Games...
Tower of Power:
Game up to 200 Kills
No Time Limit
It's on Ascension with a Turret enabled... (Alien for less people, Human For Full Room)
Everyone has a Shotgun with No Radar or Grenades
teams are broken down to three or four players for each
with all teams battling it out for control of the tower... and ultimately the turret.
and nobody is allowed to destroy the Turret.
It gets fun and Crazy...

For everyone who has been living under a Halo-proof rock, it has been confirmed MULTIPLE TIMES that Halo 3 IS coming out IN THE FALL. Not that I blame you for having a life.

I mean, for the people commenting on the button-mashing in the fall thing.

Thats awesome its too bad that we cant have those cheats thatd be sooooo cool to look at something and kill it or shoot it once and take it out. but still i think id rather just play through it regularly without the cheats.

Custom Games to live by:

UBER Damage Hogz
The real name for warthog wars.

Zombies
Dawn of the dead, halo style.

Tremors
Capture the flag, no shields, stick to the rocks or you get mowed down by the graboids (ghosts).

Fight Club
Find a ring, and your fists (plasma pistols)... everyone pile in (no shields).

***Now for my favorite***

Hunt The Magic Pig
You play a band of raging farmers who've lock 'n' loaded your shotguns all out on the hunt for a pig who's been destroying your crops, but this ain't no ordinary pig, he's super-fast, invisible, and tripple shielded, who only apears at night. Your only advantage is that he doesn't fight back! But unbeknown to you and your comrades, when you whack this pig... you turn into the pig, and it's your turn to run piggy!!

Aim of the game? There ain't no aim.

I would say the one on the right is Marty and the other two are mirrored copies. But I could be wrong.

  • 03.08.2007 3:50 PM PDT

I'm pretty sure Master Chief doesn't weigh "A few tons". That would make him a minimum of 6,000 pounds, or roughly twice the weight of your average car. Also, Halo takes place hundreds of years in the future, who's to say Mjolnir armor can't float? Master Chief can also jump off cliffs or buildings of unlimited height without so much as bending his knees on impact, but I don't see you complaining about the unrealistic effects of gravity.

Marty is obviously the one on the right, just look at the neck line, you can clearly see that photoshop was used. And besides the body on the left, does not match the size of the head.

One thing immediately comes to mind: gametype "TM Nightmare". On my friendslist is a Halo 2 happy sniper named "TwiztedMatt". So, how do you make a sniper's nightmare?

1. Invisibility, preferably on a certain foggy map
2. Set weapons to needlers and SMG's
3. Radar off

Sure, it leads to heavy assassination, but they have to get up close now. :-)

A Mjolnir battle suit weighs 1,000 pounds, a half ton, and stands 7 feet tall. (Master Chief can not realistically jump off a building or cliff and just bend his knees. In the books several Spartans are seriously injured or die from landing from freefall. Also, a Spartans internal organs are not manipulated in any way that I know of, so an impact like freefall from a cliff or building would likely result in massive internal bleeding.) But as for floating, I can not realistically imagine why a Spartan in Mjolnir would float much at all. A) They are solid muscle, minimal-fat bodies, and muscle is denser then water, giving less buoyancy to the soldier. B) A Spartans bones are augmented with titanium, reducing buoyancy further. C) The titanium Mjolnir battle suit and it's weighing 1,000 pounds seems to put the final nail in the sinking coffin. I do not see how a Spartan in Mjolnir armor can float for any period of time.

Yes, I am a geek.

Wud up. I'm a noob on the forum, in case you didn't already know.

Wanted to share a custom game me and my boys used to play on LAN at college.

Peacemakers

Pistols only. Plasma Pistol, Magnum, and Grenades are the only weapons on the map. Motion sensor can be on or off, but I think its more interesting off. Its quite a challenging game. If your twitch reflexes aren't steady, the overload plasma charge misses and you're SOL. If you hit, one head shot dual wielding the magnum and you move on.

Custom Gametypes:

I'll echo the need for official Zombies gametype.

I also REALLY like Alien.
Juggernaut.
Juggernaut has no radar, is super strong, super fast, and has overshields. HE CANNOT SHOOT OR THROW GRENADES. He can only run and jump and punch (tear people apart!).
Others have radar and are basically normal (if everyone is pretty good, then make them have no shields).
It's very fun and scary, if you get into it. Everyone has to work together to kill the alien.

me and my friends made some code words for certain weapons if thats what you mean Frankie

Sniper rifle: Cheese Cutter

We also play a game we made called Michael Jackson:

The way you play is:
Basically everyone runs away from the person who is MJ, while MJ screams out mating calls and such..With enough people this game is a blast!

Team Slayer game
2 lifes per person
The person deemed MJ has to go to Pink Team/Purple Team
Starting Weapons: Shotgun, Sword
The other players on the Green Team cannot kill MJ until there is one person left alive

Once the game is over, the person who killed MJ in the end or the previous MJ (who didnt die) is the new MJ

enjoy!
