Subject: Best Halo 2 Multiplayer Game Varients

I like creating and playing different types of game varients. Some of them just plain rock! It's fun to play with friends to see which they are good at (I tried them with only four people). Over the time, I've created a ton of game varients and played them with friends to see their opinion on it and these ones stick at the top of my list (I also included which map is best to play it on); you should try these out if you have the chance (not in order):

1) Snipers/ Team Snipers on Relic- Sniper Rifle and Beam Rifle to start out with Sniping as the weapons on the map
2) Snipers/ Team Snipers on Sanctuary- Sniper Rifle and Beam Rifle to start out with Sniping as the weapons on the map
3) King Of The Hill/ Team King Of The Hill on Foundation- really frantic and very fast paced; add turrets for more fun and keep the hill in the middle
4) Invisible Juggernaut on Backwash- make sure everyone has a motion trackor or otherwise the Juggernaut will be an unstoppable ninja
5) Invisible Juggernaut on Warlock- Shotguns and Battle Rifle are the key component in this map to try to destroy the intensely fast Juggernaut
6) Overshield Juggernaut on Elongation- with only two Plasma Pistols on opposite points of the maps, you'll want to keep one of them on hand with the SMG or you'll be crushed and buried again and again
7) Swordball/ Team Swordball on Lockout- get the skull quickly and run for your life; when anyone comes close, drop the skull, whip out a few grenades to mask your movement (Frags are the best at this), and then go in with your sword
8) 1-bomb Assault on Zanzibar- limit each round to three minutes each to quickly switch between offense and defense and add sudden death to create suspense
9) Rocketball on Lockout- rockets in this middle-ranged map create an intense situation to see who can grab the skull and hang on to it before a rocket ends your like
10) "Randomball" on Lockout- start out with random weapons and a random set of weapons on the map and put the time to win as five minutes to see who is really an all-around oddball champion

Now that I've listed mine, I want to hear yours; they don't have to be good or anything but ones that you have made and that are enjoyable to play. I want to have a chance to play your game varients as well!

I run into burning buildings!!!

Stick-IT Any map with lots of plazma nades, turn oversheilds on, trackers off, set starting weapon as pistol with no second and no map weapons. Honor system use nothing but stickies or mellee. Not a fast paced game but you get really good at sticks.

Don't assume anything, because it makes an "ASS-" out of "-U-" and "-ME"

I haven't made it, I only just thought of it:

Counter Strike Bomb-- Single bomb (offence/defence), No shields, one life per round, your own number of rounds, 2-3 minute rounds. SWAT style, only Battle Rifles, no grenades, etc.

Should be fun with 4-16 players. Lockout sounds like a good map (My favourite map!). Any map sounds good, except Tombstone and Desolation. Closed maps for true CS games. Beach Head maps, like Zanzibar, would be exciting!
