Hands down, the most underplayed gametypes in Halo are Race and Rally modes. If you were in charge of planning multiplayer gametypes for Halo 2, how would you change the race and rally modes to make them more appealing to players?
* Destruction mode: Teams race to acquire parts to some ultimate weapon that's located at some central location in the map. The first team to get all the parts back to the station and activate the weapon wipes out the opposing teams base and wins the match. The trick to this mode is that you race to the locations to get the parts, but if you die on the way back, you have to retrive it again. I miss when games had "super weapons" which were really unbalanced but hard to get, this could sort of bring that back.
* Base Control: Two teams start next to each other, and they have to reach some goal at the other side of the map. The first team through each checkpoint can activate turrets and guard posts to keep the other team from passing through, so it's necessary to have scouts keeping the path clear, etc. If done correctly, I think it could really work.
* Chase Mode: Team game. Both teams start near one another and near vehicles of their respective races. Team A plays as humans and has various check points to reach in a certian time limit (or with a certian number of respawns). Team B plays a covies and has to keep team A from reaching their goal. I think the dynamic of vehicle play restricted to the races could be interesting. An ATV in conjunction with good warthog protection and a tank escort could be a dangerous thing.
* VIP: Much like coutnerstrike, one team starts with a VIP that's restricted to a one "dualie" hand weapon of their choices (pistol, plasma pistol, smg, etc). That team has to escort the vip through various points in the map (time limit, few respawns). Both teams have access to vechicles.
I'm sure there's plenty of other possiblities. Post ideas here, especially if you have an interesting idea that only uses the new ATV buggy.
