Nice Update. After waiting for Halo 2 for so long and reading the updates back when, I have learned to be more patient and less rabid/spastic in anticipaction. But, this Update has whetted my spastic need to fantasize about what might be coming in H3. I can't wait to play campaign and finish(?) the story. I miss me some new campiagnage. The Update seems to have bulked up. Could this mean progress? Well, obviously, but really how much? Keep up the hard workin' and stuff.

Shame Sticks = Shotties

No Shame = No Shields, Shame Sticks Only

Try any of the smaller maps (especially in Halo 1 with the super sniper shotty[I miss the H1 shotty]) as a no shame game type. They are alot of fun.

Zombies. Please figure out a way to implement this gametype, without the honor system.

Ball Games- Please increase the amount of skulls in game (I know it can be crazy to have 16 skulls, but crazy can be fun!), and return the indicator that shows how far away the objective is (keep it toggle-able, be able to turn the indicator option on or off). In Halo 2 multi ball, A skull could be right next to you, but you will go for another one because you do not know the distance.

Tag as a ball game, no weapons on map, ball indicates who is "it", ball carrier has super speed, radar, and invisibility, all others are normal, no radar, and at normal or slower speeds. Whowever has the most time at the end of the game loses, and is It next round.

Race! I miss Race! We do custom Race games, one lap, multi lap.
Bring Back Rally, a race to get the most flag points in a lap/round. Make it have the option for multi Rounds.

Odd man Out gametypes were fun in Halo 1, we play them now in customs as Force even Teams. It could be fun in H3 as a low amount of kills (or time), multiple rounds.

Kill in Order was a blast as well, We used to play KIO Snipe Time, in a 8 player game on Hang Em High. Even better, Team Kill in order, The Team has to kill a certaim member of the other team (unknown to either team who on their team is the marked man), or each team member has to kill a member of the other team, kinda like a Sum game, ever team member has to have a certaim member of kills or time for the game to end


Everybody had a sniper, and you had to kill your target before your target was killed by others, or you were killed yourself! Kill In Order is(was) awesome.

Tower of Power- One high point or prime location with a turrent, 250 kills, no shields, shotties only, no grenades, no vehicles, 2 or more teams.

Killer King- Random Primary weapon, power weapon secondary (rocket, Brute Shot, Sword, Spartan Lazer, Fuel Rod), small map, non moving hill, first to 1 min wins (or 30 seconds), awesome in a 8+ player game on a small map with a central hill, like midship, lockout, or foundation.

Thats all that I can think of for now, as for game names.

Well, when I had xbox live I made a couple of gametypes that became common in "nearby" (friend-to-friend-to-friend) clans and groups of people. Here they are:

1. Hogz

Slayer, Teams ON, Oversheilds ON, Radar ON, Needlers main and only weapon, no weapons on map, all vehicles set to warthog, no tanks or wraiths or banshees, friendly fire off. Most fun on coagulation, turret usage permitted in team games, which means it is not the same as warthog derby.

2. Jedi Master (Most common name for it)

Juggernaut, no sheilds for ANYONE (including juggernaut), radar off for everyone but the juggernaut. Juggernaut damage resistance, extra speed, and extra damage on. Primary weapon Energy Sword, Secondary weapon plasma rifle. No weapons on map. All vehicles set to ghost, no tanks or banshees. Playble anywhere, but best on lockout or sanctuary. (important) friendly fire ON, betrayal penalty off

my guess for the actor is that it will be Kiepher Sutherland saying "the following takes place between --:-- am/pm and --:-- am/pm on the day of the earths destruction"

Its not a gametype

My friends and I call the corridor to one end of Ivory Tower (the one with the magnums at either end and the lift in the middle) "Carnage Corridor".

For some reason a lot of the fighting ends up in Carnage Corridor, every time you walk through there's blood everywhere and boddies littering the floor.
