This is the Mon War Gametype, if you prefer Mongoose battles. Mon War Gametype The idea of this is one that's been around since Halo 3, essentially a game designed so that you knock others off to win, and that's it. It's a simple, effective design, and it offers hours of fun! Game Details: Gametype: KOTH Objective: Knock The Other Players off. Be last one in hill to win. # of lives: 2 per round # of rounds: 10 Time limit: 5min Score to win: 1 HONOR RULES: 1. NO SHOOTING IN THE HILL, ONLY DRIVING OR JACKING. 2. NO CAMPING SPAWNS IN THE BOX The map design is simple, a large circle encased in a thin square, connected at 4 90 Degree points. There is a pit in the middle, with one kill ball and a death barrier to ensure death inside of the pit. 2 Ramps go over the pit, giving some great battles and head-to-head smashing. Those ramps are adjacent to 2 connection points, and adjacent to the other 2 connections are land mines. There are only 2, one at each point, but they get in the way, adding a dynamic change to gameplay. The main idea is, of course, not to fall off. If you do, say goodbye to that pretty Hog or Goose you've been cruising in. If you do happen to die, you will spawn in the box. In this box, you can assassinate players, and that is it. Weapons have NO effect on anything, though you can create chaos with them. Assassinate to eliminate. Of course, as I said, there is also the Mongoose game, and it plays the same way. Let me know what you guys think. This is just one of MANY Customs that have been made and tested, and I will be uploading them all soon!
HONOR RULES: 1. NO SHOOTING OR MELEES IN THE HILL, ONLY DRIVING OR JACKING. 2. NO CAMPING SPAWNS IN THE BOX Why not just place a trait zone over the map that removes weapon and melee damage? Or just remove taking damage overall? If all you want to have is hijacking and knocking people off this would work, as people can still die from kill zones. Then just don't put the zone over the death box.
It works fine the way it is with the honor rule. Being able to blow up your opponents is part of the fun.
looks like from the pics that ur vehicles are on the track, maybe you could set it up like some of my destruction derby's and have the vehicles on a platform and they drive into the level on spawn, so everyone spawns next to their own vehicle and then drives into the map, u can put soft kill boundaries around these areas so ppl dont camp where the vehicles spawn, just a suggestion and if u want to see some of my dest derby games just pm me or add me on live, i have a few of them which i think you would like
I'll DL and try them out! The only problem with that is that the outer arena isn't designed for that, so it could cause problems to get 16 people to successfully, 100% every time try and land it..
if you increase the fall damage it will increase the amount of damage caused by splattering. im not sure if this affects how much damage vehicles do when they run into each other but it'd be worth checking out. if you did this you could put the weapon/melee damage down low but have fall damage at 500% and people would still be able to crash into each other and cause damage.
the middle area seems too large and there is nothing to prevent me from chilling in that area to win the game
honor rules prevent making things more complicated. I'll try the fall damage idea though. As far as the hill itself, there is something preventing you. The host. Play by the rules, or don't play at all my friend. [br][/br]Edited by merge: I also found that land mines only work with a higher damage, so that's out of the equation..
Why wouldn't you consider removing the Honor Rules by any means necessary? Any gametype that requires honor rules is a broken one. Obviously there isn't always the perfect gametype (race) but in this case some solid suggestions have been put forth and you don't seem very open.
I can't have landmines and a non-honor-rule game. They don't work together. I've tried MANY different ways to fix this, and while I can do everything but Landmines, the landmines are a big part of the map, even if there's only 2. as for the "keeping people from camping" concept, you can't really do that.. It's practically impossible to only do something to people not moving. I encourage you to try the game out before you simply attempt to tell me the game is broken. I've played many games on this, and it's always gone smoothly. it's a simple concept, and it works.
