*IMPORTANT* (please read): I had to return my broken xbox, and as a consequence, I lost this map and game variant. If anyone has downloaded one or both of these files, PLEASE let me know and/or post them somewhere so I can download them again. Thank you!
Valhalla Wars:
This map variant of Valhalla is best played with a custom gametype called Team Wars - a team slayer oriented gametype.
The map includes (per side*):
- 2 warthogs, 3 mongooses, 2 ghosts, 2 banshees, 2 choppers, 1 hornet, 1 wraith, and 1 scorpion tank.
*(ex: there are 4 warthogs on the map)
- 1 missile pod, 1 rocket launcher, 1 brute shot, 2 snipers*
*(the snipers can only be reached when the player spawns up high on the forerunner tower)
- 1 bubble shield and 1 trip mine
In the center of the map, there is a spartan laser, a rocket launcher, and a custom powerup.
In front of each base, there is a gravity lift, enabling quick access to the top of each base in order to make getting around faster and easier.
Spawn points are organized by "defenders" and "attackers" in order to keep teams divided by side.
Aerial battles are encouraged.
Team Wars:
This team slayer-based custom gametype is best played on the map variant "Valhalla Wars".
First team to 50 kills wins (if team size exceeds 6 players, boost the victory count to 100 kills.
Players on each team spawn with an assault rifle and battle rifle, and are given INFINITE AMMO.
There is 1 custom powerup which spawns near the spartan laser.
This powerup awards the receiver 500% health, 300% speed, but no invisibility. The player cannot regain shield, but as a result the player leeches 50% health for the damage they deal to enemies. There are also a few setbacks to having such great power and speed: the player cannot board vehicles, and a navigation point appears over their head for the remainder of the duration (90 seconds) in which the custom powerup is in effect. The player also turns gold while the powerup is in effect. The powerup respawns every 180 seconds.
The primary focus of this gametype is to accompany a map in which vehicles are dominant. That is exactly what makes "Team Wars" on the map variant "Valhalla Wars" so fun.
