of headhunter drop points/stockpile flags/other objectives for a map that is similar in style to, and slightly larger than, Pinnacle and The Cage? I'm in the final stages of setting it up, and just wasn't too sure what the appropriate number would be.
I would count the number of headhunter/stockpile/etc on The Cage/Pinnacle and work it out from there. They've done many more hours of playtesting than any map any of us have done, that's for sure.
I would be doing the head hunter caps in main areas. SO it is determined a lot by the map you have created. You would have these fairly placed around the map in both low and high traffic areas. You also want the spread out to promote map movement and move action around the map. Stockpile flags just put them wherever, but don't over do it. Put them in high and low traffic areas and spread them out. Don't put them super close to the score area, but also not heaps super far away. Keep it even and balanced between teams. For objectives just look around on different bungie maps. Use your common sense and think how players are going to react and prioritize these objectives.
