Dear Viewer, This is a variant of my original Halo Wars map. It brings a whole new way of playing the game with a simple Warthog rush which was very popular in the actual game. I personally haven't tested this yet because barely any of my friends get on Halo Reach anymore, but feel free to let me know how it goes. I've been told my original Halo Wars map wasn't that balanced and had issues...well I've patched the map up quite a bit since then and i can honestly say it's the best custom slayer I've ever played (not to toot my own horn or anything). I haven't however replaced the updated Halo Wars map with the old one so if you would kindly download the old one and message me, I would be more than happy to give you the new one. Both of these variants are best played with BALANCED teams. Failure to do so will result in complete annihilation of the losing team. For example, it was a 4-v-5 with my friends and i on the team of 4 against one of their friends' friends on the team of 5. We played two games, one as the Covenant and one as the UNSC. To say the least, they lost 75 to 13 the first game and didn't finish the second one...SO ANYWAYS, in order to play a fun, close, intense game...BALANCE THE TEAMS! My average number of people playing always hovers around 8-10 people...sadly. If you would like to play one day, grab a few people and send me a message. I'm usually always looking to play but never can. Finally, if you decide the map doesn't quite satisfy your greedy little needs, message me and I'll invite you to a lobby where you can get the gametype. This will also get you the updated version of the standard Halo Wars map. Thanks for reading, if you did. Sincerely, A Happy Pumpkin Look its a Base!: That there cave in the back gots Covy vehicles: A tower over looking the UNSC Base: Inside the Covenant Garage: A Gauss spawns later making 5 Hogs: The skies are clear! No more giant ship!: A few more screen shots can be found on the original Halo Wars map thread. They are however out of date because like i said before, I updated the map! Also, if enough of you guys want a more detailed set of pictures just comment below. If enough suggestions are thrown at me I'll post more. To my disappointment I cant make a video. I lack the resources to do it. And by that i mean I do have a camera but not one of those fancy capture kits that are ten times cooler. But I do plan on getting one in the future! Thanks again. GT: A Happy Pumpkin.
Yes, each map has special features to it and without the custom gametype, the maps wouldn't be as good as they are. In this specific map, a small platform with a rocket launcher and a custom power-up towers over the Covenant base. It acts as a mac blast with around 300% damage. In the original Halo Wars, there's a Covenant cruiser floating over the UNSC base with a focus rifle and a custom power-up as well (Prophets of Regret's Cleansing Beam). As of right now i haven't posted the two gametypes on my file share but if you give me your GT I can invite you like I do with most people.
Can't wait to download this and i love the idea of a MAC blast and Regret's Cleansing beam! Have you thought about any way of representing any other leader powers?
Glad you like it. Sadly, I haven't really thought about adding any of the other powers though. Now that I think about it, the Arbiter's power isn't really possible and neither is the Chieftain's. As for the humans, Anders' isn't quite possible but I could see Forge's Ability working. A Rocket Hog sitting way up high perhaps? I might just try that out! And to clear up any confusion, the Prophet's leader power is on the Original Halo Wars map and the Mac Blast was added to this map. I have thought about mixing some of the abilities and putting two on one map, but as of right now, there's not enough money to make that happen. I will however be thinking of things that aren't necessary in the map and what could possibly be removed to make room for more money. Fell free to leave suggestions and message me for the updated Halo Wars map and Gametype!
