Subject: Would you want a KOTH variant that moves?

Before you ask, yes, I realize that the hill moves in crazy king every few seconds to a different location. This is not what I mean by the title of the thread.

King of the Hill is a wee bit predictable, its the same order of hills every time, the same defendable spots, its mostly people rushing to one spot, it changes, then everyone rushes to a different spot.

What if there was a hill that literally moves? Like on the Pit, it would start maybe in the invisiblllity hallway, move out of it, turn the corner, start moving to the power drain, jump the gap to a sniper tower...

It would be much harder to control it and you would need to fight on the run, and enemies could see where the hill is going and plan ambushes and such.

Its just an interesting idea I had. What do you think?

This is an example of the gametype I speak of from Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts. Naturally in Halo it would be in a first person shooter format.

That would be fun. Like in Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts? Where you have to actually stay in a hill that moves across the map.

I would also like a multi-hill option where you must go after two hills at the same time for big team games, and then the locations switch for both.

Fact 2: European guys are hotter

I guess I can understand if you don't want to make out with guys in the US if they're so ugly, you should just say so though.

I like that idea.

Challenge me to a Hawaiian Punch chugging contest. I dare you.

Maybe, but what about running throught walls and stuff? It seems that if they want it to work well, it will need to follow a set path, and that would still be predictable. It would be fun though.

It could move randomly with the coding set to not interfere with immovable objects easily enough.

Yea. And since that's so much like Banjo's, how about an option to spawn in vehicles and turn off boarding. That + invincibility would be fun.

-"Two men enter, the better man leaves. The lesser man is respawning, and that's Halo."

Excellent idea sir!

I can allready see it sliding around on the ground with spartan inside it, running and shooting at intruders trying to get inside the hill.

Bungie you listen to this man right now and implement this in Reach!

Indeed, I did get it from Nuts and Bolts, but I wasn't quite aware that it was pretty exclusive to it :)

And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

That sounds like a nice idea.

I miss playing Halo with my friends.

Now that would be a Crazy King!

that would completely defeat the purpose of king of the hill

In what way? KOTH could still exist at a different gametype, this could be called something different or just be a variant on KOTH.

Vancouver BC, Canada.

That could be interesting. Very interesting.

Screw the Rules i have Money!

Thats brilliant! Would add a whole different level gameplay!

Life's a -blam!-, always testing you. All you got to do is get up from your desk, kick it in the balls and walk out of the class. Then you come back later, and pass the test.

Once again Hylebos is right.
