by cluckinho10 The Game Scopeless is a clever and unique mini game where attackers attempt to collect as many stockpile flags as possible from the end of an alleyway within the three minute round. The defenders attempt to guard this alleyway with sniper rifles. The catch is that the defenders are unable to use their scopes, so they must use their no scoping skills to stop the attackers. I was able to do this because of a neat trick I discovered while I was experimenting in forge. I figured out that if you are invulnerable, not even a kill ball can kill you, but the game thinks that you are constantly taking damage. It is the same principle whenever you are attempting to snipe someone in a normal game of slayer, if they shoot you your scope is disabled. Whoever has the most stockpile captures at the end of the two three-minute rounds win. Scopeless is best played with upwards of eight people. The offense are given three choices of armor abilities: Sprint, Hologram, and Armor Lock. There are also two AAs that can be picked up at the spawn which are evade and drop shield.

It looks very clean and nice yet it does not induce any framerate, even with large parties.

Alright, I've never heard of this technique before, and the idea you used is completely origional. I've really got to DL this whenever I can. My life is hectic as it is, so not anytime soon, but for right now, you've got a definite DL. Also, first.
As the Spyro above me said, the idea is original. Well done.(I overuse that term, how about a new one? Any suggestions?) I'm not very good at no-scoping, but I know some who are, and will have a blast. No bash's so far, it seems well balanced and the team with most skill wins, as it should be. Of course, I'm always on the losing team, I'm sure you can guess why.
Very well done, looks like you will get another feature on THFE soon (they favorited your video, but clearly you already know this). Aesthetics look great, just like with your CloneBall map, and the mechanics seem infallible. If only the defending Spartans wouldn't moan all the time I would actually download it. No, just kidding, I will definitely get my hands on this soon and I'm sure people will appreciate it a lot playing on this awesome map! Great job.
Ugh ahh ugh ugh ahh ugh...ugh...ahh ugh ugh... That's just too bad. Great original idea but too bad you have to listen that ^ the entire game. Would be cool if you could make a harder version thats longer ( that's what she said) and has cover for the flag runners.
This game would be so much better if I didn't suck at it. Anyway, I really enjoyed testing it the other week. Mixing armor abilities up for the sake of teamwork was great, although I failed to see any reason for using Armor Lock. The job of the defenders is fun without being too difficult for any competent Halo player. As for me, I just pressed RT and hoped to god auto-aim would do the rest.
Thanks guys. I don't really know what to say about the Spartans moaning the whole time...I wish that there was a way around it but I don't think there is.
Good work on the map! A very creative idea for it and also i love the gametype. good idea with the kill balls preventing you from scoping and also i like the design of the map, where the looks are not just a plain/simple layout. The gametype seems like a perfect choice for this map and it also looks well balanced. Overall, love the gametype and good work on the details.
I knew about being able to shoot through kill balls, but not about the game thinking you're constantly taking damage. Interesting. Can the defenders move? If so, I could do a version with a bit more skill needed.
I agree with both of the points in this post. The snipers sound like they are trying to take a dump, and cover on the map would make it more interesting for both teams. The gametype seems really interesting though. It's good for forcing practice on no-scopes.
Yeah I thought about adding cover or something like that, but I didn't want it to be thought of like a 'Duck Hunt' style map. Thanks for the comments.
Mr Pokefile had the courtesy to do an awesome video for my game. Community Creations Ep. 3 Scopeless (Custom Halo:Reach Map) HD - YouTube
This is awesome. Super original having the kill balls keep you from scoping, GENIUS. Sure the spartans grunt the whole time but it kinda turns me on so I don't mind Great job with the map!
Oh you like grouping? Haha. Anyway this map is very original, and as always you put a lot of effort in the aesthetics. Great map. Spoiler I already commented on this map but I thought I'd do it again to make sure mods won't consider me a bumper..
I played this with a 16 player lobby, and it was amazing. One of my new favorite mini game maps. In the first few minutes of the game, teammates started using the drop shield to cover others. Plenty of strategies for the attacking team, and defenders gain skill for no-scoping at the same time. I will definitely add this to my 'to-be' featured list for THFE. Great map!
So I found a great video review for scopeless done by ducain28. Check it out, it has some great editing. Scopeless Edited into OP.
wait so the running team scores by getting to the other side, picking up the flag, and bringing it back? And you can't scope because of the kill balls? COOL!
