Specifically gametype variations that you enjoy and think would be good for 16 players.

hmmm...go with the classic death match, as much as some may flame it a good ol fragfest is fun...then throw in a lil ctf...all vehicles if your havin 16 people...and then to top it off maybe have a king of the hill...and as far as maps go...well BG is a must...SW is definitely a good choice...and if your lookin for some cwazy -blam!-, try BC with 16 peeeps...thats fun!

try a warthog destruction derby. damnation, oddball, player with ball is inviso, and have enough balls to let half the players have a ball. do you have 100+ kill gametypes? i'd recommend that. sidewinder ctf to top it off, and learn to get out of the map for a good tac. advantage.

ok, these are some good ideas. Do you have any specific custom gametypes that would be fun?

Here's a few:
[color=white] 1. Gametype: Free for All Slayer (set limit to 50)
Players: Any amount (because its FFA)
Map: Quite small maps (Hang 'Em High, Wizard, Derelict, Chill out)
Player settings: 200% health and shields on. Set lives to only 5!
Game Settings: Motion Tracker on/off (your choice)
Weapon Settings: Take your pick (Rockets only makes a really fast game) [/color]

[color=lime] 2. Gametype: Team King of The Hill (stationary hill and max. time)
Players: Even (odd for a handicap for one team)
Map: Medium sized maps (range from Hang 'Em High to Blood Gulch)
Player settings: 400% health with no shields
Game Settings: Your choice on MT, Team indicators off (adds to the fun!), Objective indicator on
Weapon Settings: Your choice (Normal or Human only is probably best) [/color]

[color=yellow] 3. Gametype: Free for All Oddball (1/2 the amount of players and max. time)
Players: Even (a must)
Map: Any rrelatively small maps (Hang 'Em High, Prisoner, Derelict, Chill out)
Player settings: 100% health with shields (without ball = normal, with = faster)
Game Settings: Objective indicator on (no hiding!)
Weapon Settings: No Sniping [/color]

Here are summaries on the 3 gametypes:
1. This is a really quick game that ends before it really starts (warm-up suggested beforehand). People think a lot harder when they have only 5 lives. Winner is the person left standing.
2. This KotH is great. Everyone knows where the hill is (objective indicator) and it stays there; its just asking for trouble. Take off friend indicators to spice it up even more; I'd make sure you tell your teammates before entering the hill.
3. This Oddball rules. From the planning you'll realise that once the balls are in motion, half will be running while half are stalking. Put the objective indicator on so there's no hiding, you just have to run (the advantage you have).

I say just Battle Creek with all human weapons. That's always fun, plus with 16 players it's crazier than a frenzied grunt on crack. My other reccomendation would be CTF on Gulch, just wart hogs and human weapons only. But if you want plama grenades, feel free to opt for all weapons.

I enjoy the games where you have to kill people in order, its even better when everyone is invisible.

Everyone invisable, enable teams, no indicators of any kind (so you dont know if your attacking a friend or not to make it hard), 50 kills slayer, no motion tracker, all weapons, no shields (so if you shoot someone you wont see the shield and give away that they're there unless you can see them) good for Prisoner, Battle Creek, possibly Chiron..

You must have an Action Replay. Rockets....hmmm.... Longest is always fun... Chiron....Any small map. Or Blood Gulch. Everything is good in the Gulch.
