Hey, Vorpal Saint here, and I'm here to bring you one of Halo's oldest custom gametypes. Cat n' Mouse. So yeah, I shouldn't need to explain how this gametype works as so many of you have no doubt played it already. But for those of you that haven't... here's the down low on the old school gametype of awesomesauce. INFECTED: You're the cats. In as wraiths. In as people who kill the mice. Simply get in your wraith and start shooting (or try splatter) the people driving around on the mongi (mongoose). DO NOT get out of your wraith as that'll make it pretty hard to kill the 'geese drivers. AND DO NOT get in the other wraith's turret (actually I think I made it to where you can only drive while infected, but if not, then don't use the turret)... it's cheap... and will more than likely get you booted. HUMANS: You're the mice. In as the mongi. In as the people who are scurring around the map trying not to die. Your goal is simple, really. Try to stay alive until the round is over. It is tough... but such is life. For a mouse that is being chased by cats that is. Things you SHOULD NOT do: DO NOT board the cats (WRAITHS), DO NOT try to walk around (there is a waypoint over your head). Basically, just stay on your goose, and avoid the cats at all cost. Unless you're trying to break the map. Then DAS BOOT! (Though, I doubt you can break it...)
Anyone who doesn't download this doesn't know what they're missing. Thanks for bringing this around into reach! I can't way to see some fresh takes on the classic games of Halo 3. I would suggest making the infected have a movement speed of 0% (It can be done in reach) So if they get out they have no choice but to get back in.
That's actually a good idea... but I'd have to spawn them right next to the wraiths... hmm, maybe in a v2 (or just future one) I'll do that. I know how I can make it work too...
Ah yes another one of the better maps being spam- *ahem* posted on here. Cat n mouse was a favorite of mine in my early H3 days so I can't wait to play it on reach. I sure hope this doesn't fall to the bottom quickly.
That's a bad idea. I would keep them slow because what if the Mice decide to be annoying and ram the Cat? Then he's away from his vehicle and immobile. In my eyes.. not a great idea.
I'm not sure what part of the map it is, at the none beach end their are rocks hanging off the map where the two raised up parts are, you can stand on them and the wraith can't get you.
cat and mouse is an awsome gametype. one thing i find wrong with this map is thats its too cluttered. remove atleast half of the objects to give the cats a more decent chance, those mice will just run rings around them and hide around all the structures everywhere.
Actually, in all the games I've played on this map (so far) the cat's have ALWAYS won. So, yeah. I think it's fine as is.
I really enjoyed this map but i agree atleast 1 stunt ramp. the one on valhalla was always really fun. I also prefer a difficult cat n mouse map over crowded one where its easy to escape the cats.
