ok so i want to make a custom invasion slayer match. however i want to make some modifications to the elites by giving them increased speed, more health and power. Is there a way i can do this without also giving the spartans the same changes. the idea is to play with 12-16 ppl, but play only a few as elites with the majority being spartans. any insight would be appreciated. thanks llyod
Well, the only way to force people to be more spartans than elites is through honor rules, you can't technically make them. However, giving Elites enhanced traits isn't all that difficult. Unlike in Regular invasion, you can't change Spartan and Elite traits individually...What you can do, however, is place a custom powerup that will never respawn in an area that the spartans can access. Place the powerups in front of each elite spawnpoint, which will give them the desired stat increase. Although, even then, it will only last 90 seconds max. So you'll have to have the Elite respawn zone be behind some one way shields, so only they can access it when they respawn. Thats the only way I can think of.
Epic Fail? Couldn't have put it better myself. For the game type itself, if you get it setup that way let me know sound like an epic fail or fantastic. Could go either way, but you intrigued me.
Sweet Thanks pats I thought about the custom power up myself but with only 90 seconds it really doesn't give me alot of room to run(literally). But I've created some smaller maps that give it a close quarters combat approach and even turned the level black with some custom lighting to give it a gloomy errie type feel. Too bad they didn't include a flash light mounted to the gun in custom games because that would be plain sick to run around and have to search the shadows. But hey i don't work for Microsoft. I guess the purpose for the Spartans is to adapt together and play as a unit(s) or get picked off. I'm sure halo will eventually allow the game to reach it's potential. Untill then ill enjoy my 90 secs. Thanks again Lloyd
