    Map Title: Cat and Mouse on Standoff

    Firstly just to set the record straight this is not my own original creation but is an adaptation of TrueDarkFusions and TheYavimayans Cat n'Mouse map on Valhalla and I would like to give full credit to them as the original 'creators' of this game on Halo 3 (I know it was around during Halo 2), I have simply adapted it onto this map and so if you like the Valhalla version, you should like this. I loved the original and Cat and Mouse in general and think they made the best version I've seen. I have used the gametype, Cat Mouse Chase which they made to go with it as obviously its already setup but I do not take credit for it. Call it a remake if you will but please, don't call me a copycat.

    Now the way the game works is exactly the same, the cats in wraiths must catch the mice on mongooses who must in turn avoid the wraiths. The cats are not to shoot the wraiths until the very last minute of the round or last 30 seconds or if you want you can omit this rule to your own liking.

    The cats spawn inside the bases which are totally blocked off and cannot be gotten into. The only way out for the cat is a one way teleporter which leads to a receiver node outside that is blocked by crates in the first 10 seconds of the game. This becomes unblocked by pre-set fusion cores and so the cat can exit the base and mount his wraith. Now I did change the timing because whilst playing with the original 30 second wraith spawn wait the Cat not realising the wraith will spawn in 10 seconds sometimes ran off in search of mice to catch leaving the about to spawn wraith behind.

    The mice themselves spawn next to mongooses on the pads either side of the map and other than two grav lifts there is nothing else on the map. Like I've said, all I've done is put a couple of objects in place and make sure the spawns work, the idea (jail system) and gametype are their creations. Have fun.

    Sweet. Now we can play it on two maps. Standoff is way prettier than Valhalla, and the reduced size should make for some intense chases.

    Thanks, yeah it does make for slightly faster games depending on how good your cats are or how daredevil you mice are.
