I have tinkered with many different settings for custom gametypes, and I believe I have found a game setup that is perfect for focusing on mass vehicular war. I have tried it on many different crowds, and usually I set it for Unlimited kills because people never get tired of it... I have played it on many occasions for hours on end. Try this gametype, see how you like it.

Map: Coagulation - Best for vehicular war as it is pretty much a wide open arena

Setting: Team Slayer

At the very least there should be 10 players, preferably 12-16. The more players there are, the more enjoyable this gametype will be. I typically play to unlimited, so the hard part is starting, but once there are at least 12 players, you shouldn't have a problem, people will keep joining and staying.

For team options, disable the switching of teams. This is necessary because when a tight little squad of four guys start owning everyone, everyone is going to want to switch to their team. You will understand once you are in this position. Otherwise there will be players who just switch to whichever team has the other hand.

Disable friendly fire. This will prevent a jealous teammate from killing you while you are in a choice vehicle. It will also prevent a tank from accidently killing his own teammates in the heat of battle.

This gametype is more fun played with at least 3 different teams, however it is also enjoyable with fairly equal teams of two.

For vehicles, enable "random" for all types. Enable banshee and turrets.

For player settings, enable Extra Damage. This makes tank sprees more fun, and it makes it easier to kill people in vehicles with plasma gernades.

For weapon set, choose Covenent. This eliminates the rocket launcher, which ruins vehicular wars, but it keeps essentials such as the sniper rifle. Even better, this setting spawns you with plasma gernades, perfect for killing any sort of vehicle. Since extra damage is on, one will do for small vehicles, and 2 will take care of a tank. This is perfect, seeing as how you spawn with 2 plasma gernades, balancing the gametype.

Starting weapons should be Brute Plasma Rifle primary (for close range, effective against banshees and other vehicles), and Battle Rifle secondary (for far off enemies. spawning in coagulation without a long range weapon is painful.)

I always play with extra points (points for bonuses). It somehow makes it more fun watching the team score rise so rapidly, and it gives extra points for splatters and combos, which is also cool.

I always do unlimited and just end game if people eventually want to stop (never happens), but if you are skeptical and you are just trying it, play to 250 kills. With extra points, it will go by very quickly.

On my old xbox I just called this gametype "war", but on my 360 I named it "Noobamanjaro". Call it what you want, but whatever you do don't name it after yourself and take the creative credit!
---

This my friends is the perfect gametype, it honestly never gets old. Just make sure you play with at least 12 people for it to be as fun as possible. Kill combos are common once you get ahold of vehicles, you will have loads of fun. I perfected this gametype a long time ago, and among my friends it is always the custom game of choice. I thought I'd share it with you guys and see what you think.

try it, see how you like it, comment on it, whatever. i'm interested in your feedback.

My opinion does not matter.

And my opinion tells you to go to hell.

He hopes theres custom gametypes in Halo 3?...j/k. For even more fun, change it to king of the hill.
