Everyone I figured it out Marty has to be the person in the center.
Frankie second good update, lets see if we can go for 3 in a row. I like hearing about what you like but I don't understand how a weapon and definitley MJOLNIR armor can float. take that out please and plus if you put that in it will look retarded and it makes you think, "If that gun can float in water but then when picked up it still works even after it gets waterlogged" UnlessUNSC made weapons that were water proof
martys the one one the right by the way.

Laser Tag Flag - designed (sort of) for teams of 2 on Foundation (no turrets). No shields, carbines only, flag at home to score, first to three, short respawn count.

Meat Grinder - designed (again, sort of) for a FFA on Lockout. Non-moving hill, 1 minute to win round, first to win 2 rounds, no shields, shotguns/swords (but only shotguns on map), starting frag grendaes.

Both variants are flaming-ninja paced, usually yielding single-digit average lifespans for everyone involved (including the winner).

My favorite Gametypes would probably be:

-Pretty In Pink:
Needlers only, no explosives, no vehicles, small maps,

-Battle:
Moving Hill, no shield, 50% health, assault rifles only, no grenades, teams

gametype: Predator

juggernaut
plasma sword only, though can switch to shotgun to remain hidden
faster than humans
no shields
no nades
has radar

humans
no radar
no shields
friendly fire off
shotguns only
can use nades

the pradator can cheat in juggernaut if they have nades thus why it's disallowed.

that's one insanely creepy gametype, you'll be sticking with your friends hoping to take down the pradator. next thing you know someone's torn you all to piece's and disapeared into the scenery. next time round you catch the predator at the last second, remove his face, and suddenly your friends are turning on you. get out of there asap and get ready to stalk your buddies.

Very nice update. I wonder what the new Halo 2 map that we might find "familiar"...

Hill of Doom:
(Small Maps)
KOTH - Single Hill
Non-Moving Hill
Random Starting Weapons (Both Primary and Secondary)
Contestable Hill
Grenades on
Random Weapons on Map

Subject: More X button musings

Sensitive elite.

Laughter killed The Chief.

One of the more interesting feature that I've been noticing making its way into upcoming games (like EA's Army of Two) is the ability to share weapons and ammo in co-op. For all I know there are a number of games out already with this feature (Rainbow or GRAW?). Anyway, little things like that can really breathe some life into an over-familiar genre.

Imagine the X button allowed you to toss whatever weapon you were currently holding. You could chuck a sniper rifle to your buddy on the ledge above, or some grenades at a cornered mate below. Maybe you could even throw a weapon into a fast-moving river because you know XGCwarriorchief117 is downstream. And, of course, chucking a flag or bomb would be awesome... or infuriating. Probably infuriating.

I'ts a cool possibility. Deep down, however, we all know what the X button will be used for no matter what Francisco says. It IS a drink button. (why can't I italicize?)

Custom Game: Killtacular

Secondary Weapon: Rocket Launcher
Weapons on Map: Snipers
Bonus Points: On

Use the rocket to get the most kills, but show your skill and earn more points by using the sword or sniper.

You wanted to hear our names for them.

awsome-ness! that said, names of things? gametypes or weapons nad items, hmm, I'll do both.

weapons:
sniper rifle = snipper (rymes with kipper) riffel (rymes with pickle)
smg = Smug (saying "smg" phoneticly)
rocket launcher = Raw-keet lawnchair (in a really exagerated manner)
activecamo = camo-fla-gooey (saying camoflague phoneticly) sometimes just fla-gooey, tring saying it out loud, "go get the fla-gooey" its awsome.

now for gametypes:
my fav, "Oddflag" its a combo of ctf and oddball me and my friends came up with at a lan. you play "nuetral flag" on any 4-way symetrical map. then you have 4 teams of 3-4. (works best this way) now the special rules. flag is always marked with nav point. everyone is shieldless, with damage resistance. flag carrier moves normal speed, but losses the extra resistace. weapons on map random set, no respawn. players weapons are 1st brute shot (trust me, very fun) and secondary random. finnialy, you have three rounds, 2 minutes each, score limit 3, sudden death on. (belive me, each round will last longer than 2 minutes)
this gametype sounds kinda crazy, when i pitched the idea to my freinds they didnt want to play it, but they soon fell in love with it, you might want to tweak certain things (like in my original pitch first weapon was sentenl beam, but we found the brute shots were more fun) its impossible to play this and not have a laughing riot.

the other game type we made is "DTF" = defend the fatherland, in other words its germany vs russia. we use honor rules for this game, but it sounds like in halo 3 we wont have too. its a territory game, teams are set at a 1 to 5 ratio so in a game of 10 people it would be 2 vs 8, if thers 12, it would be 3 vs 9. the smaller team is germany, they get a sniper rifle, full ammo, and battle rifle full ammo. this team is germany. larger team is russia, they get smgs and, uh thats it, ASSAULT THE HILL! DESERTERS WILL BE SHOT! its shieldless for all, one territory, germany starts out with it, they cant pick up any more ammo, they can pick up smgs, but they dont help much. germans win if they can hold the territory for 10 minutes. every time ive played, russia always wins. this is another one of those fun and stupid lan games, if you get into it, and talk in as-best-as-you-can-muster accents, this game is a severe hoot. german players will say stuf like "come and get us you communist pigs!" and russia will be like "AHHH! for the mother land!"

this concludes your daily moment of whatever!

A good gametype that me and my friends play is Nades only.
Starting weapon is Sentinel gun, and grenades, no weapons on map. We just use the grenades, though. If you can, just take out the weapon altogether, and perhaps infinite grenades. Plasma grenades are the best. Maybe just make infinite plasma grenades.

Wow! Still no news on Halo2Vista. Give us something even if its "we are waiting for Windows Live to shape up."

I leave you with this warning. The MAW grows restless....

I can’t wait to see all the cool effects in halo 3.

Kiss (or Hug) of death - When someone sticks you then you lunge towards them and it kills both of you.

MLG Rockets or Team MLG no BR with Radar - for all those KoOl kids out there who have to challenge you to a game of MLG after you destroy them in matchmaking. ;)

I am glad to hear taht you are working on the smaller details, things that many others games seem to not bother with.

  • 03.02.2007 7:21 PM PDT

And the Red states are mad because the people in the Blue states are making them pay for roads and schools instead of cool stuff like NASCAR and shotguns. -Grif

Awesome stuff.

One of my favorite gametypes is Derby basically you can only use pistols and grenades. Have fun crashing cars, but you can't use the vehicle weapons.

Me, I'm not gonna make a list. If there's anything that I don't know the name for, I don't deserve to see it, use it, or taste it. If there's something in the Halo universe that doesn't have a name(which I think is impossible), I'll just call it, "Thing".

P.S. The real Marty's on the right.


Awesome update. I wish I could get a date on these H2 Multiplayer maps....


POST EDIT:Elites are hot. Also, try and make an advantage for Elites, so that more people will like to play as an Elite instead of just.....me.

P.S. MEDUSA OWNS. It is so HOT to hear every single enemy just die at the same time with one random shot.
