Welcome, friends, to my first Firefight gametype: Generator Defense VS. As you can probably guess by the title, Generator Defense VS. is a game variant of Generator Defense set up for versus matches. There is one round in the game and each team has one turn, so both gets a chance to play defense and a chance to play offense. Each turn goes on for 8 minutes and everyone has infinite lives. The game options have been tweaked several times to assure balance, quality, and, most of all, fun. The Spartans start in their base and have an ammo crate to resupply whenever necessary The Elites start at the far end of the map and are backed up by increasingly strong Covenant forces The Elites' goal is to destroy all of the generators to end the round and put a halt to the Spartans' scoring The Spartans' goal is to score as many points as possible while defending the generators Special thanks to cory021, Seaboro Kibbles, TitanC005, Soviet Zapper and Lanky Frank for helping me test this gametype. Feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone!
This was definitely tons of fun to play. It was an awesome challenge while playing as the humans, and required coordination and adaptation to win, depending on which Generators were being attacked, etc. Generator Defense VS. on 'Glacier' was all win, because it reminded me so much of the campaign level While it was definitely difficult to play on the human side, the key to this is that you also play as the Covenant each match too, so it's balanced in that respect. Bravo on the excellent gametype.
Thanks man. And yeah, when your own the human side teamwork is key. Also, keep in mind that the main goal is to kill as many enemies as possible, while defending the generators is somewhat a secondary goal.
