This is NOT a map variant but something to spice all the race maps out there Please just politely inform me if this has been done already but me and my friends were playing Cherry Kiss earlier and thought "Hey, what about Rocket Race?" The ensuing chaos led to the conclusion the rockets weren't the best idea for tracks like Cherry Kiss and Paramount, but afterwards it got me thinking that some form of racing should be possible... Plasma Race is born. Plasma Race is exactly like rocket race with three differences. Obviously each player has plasma pistols instead of rockets. Players aren't invulernable so they can be beat down. Rounds (of which there are 5) end at one successful escort, so the winners are the only ones who get points. This is ONLY for the aerial race tracks that have recently be made in Sandbox. Also I added shield leeching so keep players alive longer. Again if this has already been done, politely inform me, no flames please. Bungie.net : Halo 3 File Details ileid=74956147
Great Idea. I'm suprised that there is no Battle Plasmas. Great Idea. And Yeah you need pictures of people racing with it.
Like these guys have said ^^^ this is not a map variant, but something many others have done, is make a map that goes with the gametype and say the focus is on the gametype not on the map. Tex and Shadow Viper have done it and it worked out fine, it just stops people flaming .
i just came up with it, its never been played but me and some friends are probably gonna get some spiltter action going later if anyone wants to try it out GT: Merc 4 HiRe 47
Not fun. Infinite ammo leads to party poopers just sitting there overloading your mongoose over and over. Plus beatdowns on? Sounds like a massive spawn killing fest to me...
That's why he needs to test the variant, to find out how much of an issue those things are and how to fix them.
Variant has been tested. Following changes have been made: Players can deal no damage and are invulnerable in the presence of the VIP, also they start with magnums so they can't screw with mongooses. VIPs can deal damage, and have 4X overshields, so they pretty much have to be hit with a plasma pistol before they can be killed. VIPs are also forced Black to make them stand out on each mongoose. Also infinite ammo is removed, and after testing it was found that players won't make it through a full plasma pistol clip on one lap of a normal track. The variant works best with four teams or more teams, this way party poopers who would spawn kill and just sit there and screw with mongooses can only get one team before the others leave and will automatically lose.
