This week I'm going to be taking suggestions for gametypes to put in the MAW gathering mapcycle. Here are a list of the map/gametypes that will be in there and are not negotiable

Blood Gulch CTF 3-flag classic weapons
Hang'em High 25-kill Classic slayer pro
Danger Canyon Assualt human weapons
Chiron-TL34 5-kill Classic phantoms
Hang'em High 15-kill slayer "plasma party"

After those it's whatever you guys want. Go ahead and make suggestions and I will pick the ones that got suggested the most and which ones I think would work.

Here are some things I won't do:

Ghosts on timberland and sidewinder(I hate cheap ghost flag grabs)
All-invisable on large maps or with snipers
Oddball or KOTH on large maps
Juggernaut where the naut is invisible(if X got it the game would be over)
starting with a plasma pistol
I tend to stay away from shees, ghosts and tanks

I'm planning on having more team games and CTF then FFA and I'd like to put in one race.

If I get a ton of suggestions I will make two mapcycles and alternate them.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Infinity's a great map for racing if it's all 'hogs. Can you put that in?

I'm not too picky on gametypes, but I don't like that plasma party. Too laggy.

A CTF on hang em high would be fun. Also a team sniper slayer on blood gulch, FFA just turns into a spawnkill party.

Bloodgulch standard CTF/TS
Icefields standard CTF
Dangercanyon standard CTF
Sidewinder standard CTF
RatRace 10 Caps CTF/TS
Hangemhigh TS
Derelict TS
Damnation TS
Chillout TS

There are a few good ones.

Why do you hate on ghosts shees and tanks?
Why do you hate on the fuel rod gun?
I don't see why you are so reluctant to put in the noobier weapons in your gametypes. Sure they are easy to use but it adds depth to the game and forces people to use some strategy for once. I agree with limiting the use of these noobier weapons/ vehicles on some maps (shees in death island and ghosts in sidewinder), but I urge you, igg, to be more open with your gametypes.

P.S. If you really hate the frg on danger canyon, at least do classic weapons. I can't live without stickies :'( .

Edit:: I second Nessy's choices on maps, along with Infinite standard CTF.

Thanks Igg.

We don't hate Ghosts, Banshees, tanks, or fuel rods per se, but rather, we hate the noobs themselves who use them.

Yes a couple people got 1 or 2 points until you found one of them. Then you sat there and picked off 9 ppl at your leisure because we couldn't find you.

If your team can't defend it's flag against a slash and grab, then it doesn't deserve to win.

I can see the reasoning behind shees, but why ghosts and tanks? Their easy enough to take out...

Haven't you noticed the Plasma Rifle is accurate at semi-long range? I trade my pistol for it sometimes just to confuse people.

Yes, sometimes I snipe with it on campaign. I just want a bigger map so it isn't so laggy.

How about Blood Gulch with Short Range weapons only, if possible, no pistols or snipers, I think that would be a fun change from the usual pistol whoring on Blood Gulch.

I was refering to a possible gametype, not a universal removal of pistols and sniper rifles ;)

so we would be running at each other from miles away firing shotguns or using heavies.

it would end up a bit of a nade fest.

Um, english please? Are you saying it doesn't take skill to use close rage weapons at long range, or the skill required to use close range weapons at mid rage is too much for most peole?
