When playing Halo Multiplayer, I can never think of any good gametypes for Races. I usually think of races on Sidewinder and Blood Gulch (the vehicle levels) but I want some for other levels too.

If anyone has any please reply as follows:
Gametype: Race (<criteria for particular gametype>)
Players: <number of players>
Map: <map(s) to play on>
Player Settings: <health and shield settings>
Game Settings: <motion tracker on/off and indicators>
Vehicle (if BG of Sidewinder): <which vehicle to have>

Also say what's best about that gametype.

Gametype: Race

Players: 4- 12

Map: Wizard, Damnation, Sidewinder

Player Settings: Health only (150%)

Game settings: Motion Tracker on

Weapons: Assault weapons only

Vehicle: Warthog

Team play: Yes

This gametype leads to some mayhem and some times pissed off people. The Assault weapons only mean that they will have to steal a Ride by camping near a checkpoint and waiting intill someone comes. Also the no sheilds means that you will have to take your driveing skills to the max to not be killed. To ballance the natural weakness of no sheilds, you have boosted health. Only warthogs means that you will need a gunner to stay alive, It also turns to good team work.

I can tell you what not to do...

Gametype: Race

Players: 4+

Map: Sidewinder

Player Setting: Normal

Game settings: One "flag", No motion tracker, Nav. points off

Weapons: Human

Vehicle: All

Team Play: No

Someone was trung to think up something to do other than CTF or Slayer so he was like "Hey let's try Race." All I remember was 8 people all starting at Blue base with 4 vehicles in front of them. It was mayhem. Mostly because, well, we didn't know where the checkpoint was and sent us all scattering about. Luckily I hopped in a ghost and drove off before the guy in the Tank hopped in and starrted blowing the crap out of everyone. I ended with my boyfriend making it to red base and going to get some grenades, only to step on the flag holder by mistake and win. He was all sorts of confused. I guess this gametype could have a chance... if you like running around aimlessly.

I think its just funny wen ever you play race and set your own time limit and see how many ppl you can run over and they're not allowed to use weapons... its ac quite fun.

ok, best race ever:

Its called rocket joust
# of players:either 4,8, or if your crazy,16 players (4 or eight are best)
vehicles: warthogs
weapons: rockets only, unlimited grenades
level: BG or SW
team play: on
strategy: you assign pairs before the match starts (each pair must be on the same team as eachother) 1 person drives, 1 person is in the passenger seat with a rocket launcher and his plasma nades. Chaos ensues

Personally whenever me and my friends race we assign "Traffic Cops" these people are there to cause havoc with the racers. They can kill people, steal their rides, or even help people!
I find this makes the game more interesting!
