I'm working on a map for Conquest in Reach, and I have already sorted out how to set up the territories to get it to work right. What I need help with is deciding what weapons are suitable to use and what load outs if any to make available from start or have armor abilities on the map so I am opening this up to the community. Once I have the gametype set up I will post it for all to share and make their own maps. Only serious and knowledgeable suggestions will be taken, and you will need to be fairly familiar with Conquest from halo 3 in order for your advice to be considered knowledgeable. So lets here what you have. Suggestions needed: Territory capture time:15 seconds? Weapons on map (high fire rate low damage, no headshot weapons?) Armor abilities? Load outs?
Personally, I'd wait. I'm sure the original creator (gunnergrunt?) of the gametype will be putting their new variant out soon. It wouldn't matter what abilities you have on the map really as the gametype would work regardless with your map.
I've PMed him a link to this thread. And the gametype and map won't necessarily work together if I don't have the right weapons on the map and such. Even if the game type itself is just a straight shift over we don't have all the same weapons and the ones that are the same do not work the same. So things will be different. Having an understanding of the gametype will help determine how the map works. Things like that are what I am looking to discuss here.
For AAs, remember that conquest is about constant movement. There were equipments that were not allowed in H3. I would say that bad AAs would be Drop Shield, Armor Lock, and Jetpack. The first two force you to fall back and the Jetpack is best at running away,
The original creator was AZN FTW and he is under the name godlyperfection over at reachingperfection.com. He will be releasing the Reach version of Conquest at some stage in the near future.
Yep. Head on over to ReachingPerfection.com and hit the Conquest tab. He's lookin for Reach Conquest maps right now to test out the new gametype. If you head over there soon, your map will probably take some sort of priority once Reach goes matchmaking. There's also a helpful Conquest mapmaking guide over there. Good luck!
Well, I finished the map all but weapons. But looking up what weapons I can use now then just waiting for the gametype for testing.
