    I am in need of an epic name for a new gametype/the maps to go along with it. Particularly the gametype. I want something catchy. The gametype is a 4v4 symmetrical Grifball-style Capture the Flag. I am about done with the maps now and would love if someone could help me come up with a good name for the gametype.

    Just make sure that a name for a gametype is meaningful (I.E. grifball), I think Kuroda's Flagdash is great (even though I havent played it) because you said it was fast and a flag game.

    It is hard without a picture, the name is usually important in success of a map. I go through bungies top download list quite often as others do and a good name for map can help sway a decision in my opinion anyway.

    Finally!!
    I did lose patience at one point and use it to name a level I made in LittleBigPlanet, but it's unclaimed in Halo, so far.

    Alright I'll show you guys some pics. of one of the maps. The name is Vesuvius. And the gametype will be called FlagDash. Or at least that's what i'm thinkin. I'm not sure yet though.

    This is an overview (both sides are symmetrical)

    [​IMG]

    It is 8 players, and they all spawn in their own cubicle, with their own unique weapons. (The custom powerup allows weapon pickup for 5 seconds.)

    Keep in mind that although this is griffball-style, I want a unique name.

    Edited by merge:


    And Televangelist is a good name, but I don't think it'll fit. Pegasi can use it.

    The Sanctuary seems fitting for backdrop.

    I personally think that your names are clashing right now, because Vesuvius is so serious and the gametype FlagDash sounds more casual.

    Thank you guys so much. Gauntlet actually does fit really good with another one of my FlagDash maps :D!

    Gauntlet is being used by a rather famous forger's 1v1 map. I'd advise against that.
