I figured this would be an easy answer, but couldn't find someone asking the same question. Is it possible to have ordinance drops on Koth Gametypes? I've been trying for about the last hour tweaking all sorts of forge and gametype options, and I can't manage to get either initial or random drops on my Koth map. Really, I just want 4 spots where 1 of 8 weapons spawns after about 2 minutes. The only other option is to designate 1 weapon to spawn for that set time, but I can't randomize it like I want to.
Are you editing the map in koth mode? Secondly are you changing the game spesific tag to true, and thirdly are you changing the game label to king of the hill?
I am in koth mode, ordinance drops do not have game specific labels, when I open up the menu all I get are the weapon options. I have tried both initial and random drops and neither work
Sorry for the poor info I am at work and just going off memory. In advanced you should be able to set game specific to true. I know matchmaking koth had ordinance drops when it first came out so it stands to reason you should be able to get it
are you experienced in placing drops in slayer types? I am also not in front of my xbox, but I think there is a respawn and Place at Start y/n option as well. check those settings...
ordinance drops don't have advanced edit options so no place at start or game type specific. Objective drops work sort of like you want in the domion gametype, but I havn't played with those in koth, and I still don't think you can delay their spawns. Good luck figuring something out man
I actually don't make slayer maps, I prefer more creative and interesting gametypes. When I select the drop and hit 'x' to bring up the options, the only choices I have are the weapons to drop and whether its phased, normal, or fixed. There are no gametype or advanced options able to be selected. I know matchmaking maps have ordinance drops. I am wondering if I actually have to load it as slayer map and place them that way? I'll check existing matchmaking maps and see how they utilize drops.
Just got home and fired up forge. I'm having no problem with ordinance. Are you using the default game settings, and are you testing in custom games? Ordinance drops never work in forge.
I found the problem! Evidently, the game doesn't register downloaded game types correctly with ordinance for some reason. I fired up a regular koth gametype and the worked just fine, but when I switched to my custom type, which I had modified to suit my purpose from a downloaded version, it still didnt work. Solution, recreated the same settings myself and saving as new gametype and BAM! Working ordinance. Lesson of the day, halo 4 does not like you to download game variants, just remember the settings and make it yourself.
