List all the wierd gametypes you've been to here. It can be anything from a 16 ball oddball match in Chiron, or a 1v1 scrim in Infinity. (sorry if this thread was already made)

I was playing Halo yesterday, to record some footages for my finale, and stumbled into a 1v1...Death Island with all vehicles. I stayed in there for about 30 minutes to get some snipe clips.

Another wierd gametype I've ran into was about 2-3 days ago. Longest, normal weapons...but on Race...everyone was pissed when they found out they weren't playing slayer or juggernaut. xD

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

I am glad you had to experience those game types and not me.

CTF only flamethrowers. Very interesting tactics, since flames have limited range, and so if someone gets past you, they are pretty much safe.

Only needles, longest slayer, can be interesting, since needles bounce off the small corridors guaranteeing a hit eventually.

your answer

either way lets figure this one out together. :)

How many people does it take to hold a flag? One Now what does that leave the rest of the team to do? Kill and cover the flag carrier while keeping map control? what does camping the key points of the map do? Keep map control...

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Well you control all the map you want but I have taken numerous flags regardless of how much the opposing team controls... its not hard.

Let's add an HCE map into the mix, shall we? :P

This map, CTF, 150 to score, infinite time, PP only. Sad enough, this was actually a cycle for a GBX server; you should've seen it with 16 people.

LOL1500HOURSFTW!!! xD

And guys, camping isn't so bad. That's like telling our fellow US soldiers to stop sniping the poor terrorists, because it's for n00bs, and it's camping. In multiplayer games (especially team gametypes), you have to try to get the most advantages as possible (as long as you're not cheating to get that advantage). For example, in rock,paper,scissors, will you call someone a "advantage-taking/camping n00b" when you get a paper, and they get a scissors?

I don't like people that think "fair fights" are everything. As long as you're not cheating or anything, getting even huge amounts of advantages over your enemies is a tactic, and a nessecity.

Have you actually played this? Do you have an IP or server which does this gametype?

I REALLY want to see this, just to watch my graphics card melt.

2v2 Plasma Party in Infinity, no vehicles.

Or 16 player team slayer in a tiny map like Derelict with no shields, 50% health, Shotties and Infinite Grenades.

Edit: I posted this a little while back when we were debating the new Wens. gathering:

EditV2: Dammit, hit Ctrl c instead of Ctrl v. Gotta go find it again.

Posted By Me:
How about a gathering dedicated to totally retarded, hilarious gametypes. Like 4-ball Wizard Rocket Oddball. Or Infinity Plasma Party. Or Damnation Assault, with 30 second time limit to capture. Or Infinity Snipers, only vehicles are Banshees. Or Rifles Only Death Island. My fertile imagination is your servant.

Yeah, X, I've always thought the same thing. It seems stupid for the whole team to rush the flag. Position your sharpshooters at key points on the map, and send your best flag capturer's in for the flag.

It's in the rotation of a server I play on from time to time. It's got really weird gametypes, but they are a nice break from danger canyon assault, hang em high slayer, etc.

Yeah good luck scoring in a 8v8 blood gluch no shield sniper all vehicle match without camping. You can barely kill the other team fast enough without spawn camping them. I hate the noobs that set these games up. Purely pointless on an otherwise good server.
