NOTICE: This thread was copied straight from my post over at MLG. I talk about an Elimination gametype a few times. Please look here and notice that Elimination was a custom gametype started up over at the MLG forums. Also, if this is in the wrong place, please move it. I didn't exactly know where to post it.

So, its been awhile since I've posted anything that I've been working on. I think it's because i am afraid of how everyone will look at it, and it will pretty much get thrown to the side, but, it will be okay.

So since about mid-December, I have been forging maps nonstop for a gametype idea i had. (If Elim would have never been started, i never would have been interested in exploring the gametype options to make a gametype.) This gametype was something that I challenged myself with, because of an XBL friend who quit playing Reach because he couldn't stand to play the normal settings. So my whole objective was to take the things people hated from Reach and give them a tweak.

Increased kill time, faster movement, higher jumping, and totally different map designs were pretty much my main goals. I came up with these:

300% Damage Resistance
125% Jump Height
No Shields
150% Player Gravity
Immune To headshots > Enabled
No Radar
150% Damage Modifier
No Team Changing
300% Melee Modifier
Friendly Fire > Enabled
120% Player Speed
No Betrayal Booting

Custom Power Up -
Normal Radar on for 30 Seconds

---

The way i like to think about it is Halo weapons, COD kill times, and Shadowrun movement.

Now, I call the gametype "Amelioration", which means to make better. (Which seem to fit my original intention) With these core settings I came up with 7 different Variants to play.

[Contention] (Slayer)
-------------
50 Kills in 15 Minutes
Unlimited Lives

[Infiltration] (Assault (Mimics "Search and Destroy"))
-------------
5, 2 minute rounds
1 Life
Grenade Launcher Spawns 90s into the round with 3 shots

[Capture The Flag]
-------------
3 Caps to win in 15 Minutes
Instant Return
30 Second reset
Has to be home to capture

[Territories]
-------------
5, 2 minutes rounds for Blue team to capture red teams territories
3 Territories that lock after they are captured by Blue Team
1 Life
Grenade Launcher Spawns 90s into the round with 3 shots

[Stockpile]
-------------
1 Flag, Scores every 30 seconds

[Oddball]
-------------
8 Minutes to score as many as possible

[Headhunter]
-------------
8 Minutes to capture as many skulls as possible

---

Now, with all that, I have 12 maps forged and setup for this gametype:

Barge - Two ships side by side connected with one bridge, and two bridges close enough to use to get from one ship to the other aswell.
Foyer - Lobby from Shadowrun, changes are subtle, but easily spotted.
Framework - A Map originally done for Elim.
Hangar - Nerve Center from Shadowrun, changes are subtle, but easily spotted.
Intersection - A map an IRL friend help design. 4 Building at a crossroads with an underground tunnel.
Junction - An old abandoned train car surrounded by two houses and another small building.
Mansion - A small map with little height changes here and there. Pretty common map.
Radiation - A map designed after the idea of an infinity sign map rotation. ∞
Roof Tops - Based off the idea where most of the battles are on top of roofs with access to the top floors of the buildings. Includes two zip-lines.
Stonehenge - An old design i made for an MLG map that i thought would work nicely on here too.
Temple - Originally designed to look like an Egyptian Temple. Turned out to be a pretty simple design.
Town - A map within the Quarry, with 3 building per side, (Red and Blue) separated by a building.

So after all that, i felt like it was time to let people start hearing about it. My only fear is that people will say that "I was copying Synatric and Elimination." In all honesty, it was inspirational to see what Synatric with Elimination, and I thought that it would be a fun little thing to do my own thing also.
