Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Team Slayer.

If you like exploding and dying and bodies flying all willy-nilly, then play FFA slayer, rockets only, no shields, at Battle Creek.

I prefer a great game of Team Slayer on Hangem' High with normal sheilds, teams, no radar, and custom weapons settings. Another great game is Prisoner with normal sheilds, infinate grenades, no radar, free for all, and rockets.

Firstly, how is the 4 player game played?
Is it:
[color=white] 1. 4 people on 1 XBOX (4 way splitscreen) [/color]
[color=lime] 2. 4 people on 2 XBOXs (2 way splitscreen using systemlink) [/color]
[color=red] 3. 4 people on 4 XBOXs (Full screen using systemlinks and a router) [/color]

[color=white] If its on 1 XBOX then I suggest fast Free For All games because although no-one admits or means to do it, screenwatching happens. If you make it a fast game then no-one has the time to screenwatch. [/color]

[color=lime] If its on 2 XBOXs then I suggest some low strategy team games. CTF won't really work with only 2 vs 2 because the low number of team mates means the usual tactic is 1 Attacker, 1 Defender. CTF should be played with at least 4 a side. With 4-8 players on your team you can make really complex strategies to fool your oppenants. Almost write plays like American Football coaches do. [/color]

[color=red] If its 4 XBOX's then its likely that each XBOX will be in a different room; or at least 2 to a room. With 1 person you can play really good Free For All matches with any gun. The size of the screen makes good sniping because its only you seeing it then there's no screenwatching. [/color]

Here's a few for each one:
[color=white] Gametype: Free For All King of the Hill (Stationary Hill, 5 minutes to win)
Map: Quite small maps (Battle Creek, Hang 'Em High)
Player Settings: 200% health and shields on
Weapon Settings: Normal or Rockets Only
Game Settings: No Motion Tracker, Objective Indicator On [/color]


[color=white] Gametype: Free For All Slayer (50 kills but only 5 lives)
Map: Small Maps (Wizard, Battle Creek)
Player Settings: 200% health and shields on
Weapon Settings: Normal, Human or No Sniping (No sniping is best)
Game Settings: No Motion Tracker [/color]


[color=lime] Gametype: Team Oddball (5 minutes to win, 1 ball)
Map: Small Maps (Wizard, Hang 'Em High, Battle Creek)
Player Settings: 100% Health and Shields on (with ball = damage resistant, without = faster)
Weapon Settings: Normal, Human or No Sniping (No sniping is best)
Game Settings: No Motion Tracker [/color]


[color=lime] Gametype: Team King of the Hill (stationary hill, 5 minutes to win)
Map: Small Maps (Wizard, Hang 'Em High, Battle Creek)
Player Settings: 200% health and shields on
Weapon Settings: No Sniping
Game Settings: No Motion Tracker, Objective Indicator On, Team Indicator Off [/color]


[color=red] Gametype: Free For All Slayer, Kill in Order (15 kills to win)
Map: Quite large maps (Blood Gulch, Hang 'Em High, Derelict)
Player Settings: 100% health and shields on
Weapon Settings: Normal or Human
Game Settings: No Motion Tracker, Objective Indicator On [/color]


[color=red] Gametype: Oddball (Juggernaught, 15 kills to win)
Map: Quite large maps (Blood Gulch, Hang 'Em High, Derelict)
Player Settings: 200% health and shields on

they are all good with 4 people, I particularily like CTF with 4 people, more strategy and less brute force that with etams or 4 or 8
