Fair play. I'm sorry about a slight grammatical error in my title. Anyway, I'm trying to help him with it and i'm finding a potental problem every 5 mins :/
I dunno, Asset is getting kinda boring, there's not enough variations. I wouldn't wanna see the Covenant as defenders though, they're supposed to be the baddies. I hope there's some kind of gametype maker in Reach. I'd love to see Infection classes, and maybe Infection-VIP. That'd be epic, escort your VIP to some warthog to go drive off into the sunset.
I agree, Asset is getting a big boring. There just aren't enough variations in gametypes. Responding to your idea though, it could possibly work. The Brutes are very powerful compared to the ODSt so you'd have to supply the ODST with vehicles and good weapons. Their settings may have to be tweaked as well. I say go for it. The Covenant Asset could be a Prophet since they are very weak.
I would say go for it. Asset has definitely been really successful in its map making recently but it has evidently gotten a bit bland. It would be nice to mix up the gameplay a bit. Once this map is completed, though, definitely test it because you don't want people to be like "this gameplay probably sucks" and have them be right. I could see this working though.
I tryed the base of it. He tryed making it like realy ODST's but that fails, This needs work but i think we can get it guys.
I propose the new Chieftain is a Spartan. The Stalkers could be replaced by an SPI Spartan-III, maybe? Banshees could be Support Hornets. However, the escape vehicle would most likely have to be either a Wraith or a Prowler and from there you'd have to make it past an otherwise impassable barrier or something using it.
What we have done is thought of 3 things: Make a bridge spawn at same time, drive across new bridge. Bounce off shield doors in the prowler. Make ramps you can only drive under, not sure how to do this one.
Mongooses can drive under a certain structure I have to describe... Place 2 walls ontop of eachother, hamburger style, and then place a wall standing up on top. Delete the two lower walls, and place a block on the smaller side of the wall. Here's an example: []--[] ...^ The arrow being the Mongoose.
Mongooses can drive under structures lower than crouching but sometimes they get stuck if the celing dips down too much, and the driver and especially passenger have a tendency to stick their heads above thin walls. This should really be its own gametype not just a variant of asset. The team that is defending in asset often is different, depending on if a VIP is to survive until an escape vehicle spawns or to fight to the escape vehicle. You are really just giving the covenant the VIP not switching defenders and attackers. Anyways just be sure to place weapons and vehicles accordingly.
