In Response To: Indict THIS (Frankie)

Cool. I replied to the 'grab bag' forum post with a game type of my own.
I've copied it below :

There's a game I like to play. I call it "Keep Away". I think it would fall under the 'grab bag' category.

(Team) Oddball. Two Balls.
Ball Carrier is normal speed.
Time to win : unlimited
1 Round. Round time limit 5 minutes.

Ball indicator is always on.

Starting weapon Plasma Pistol.
No secondary. No starting Nades.
No weapons or nades on the map.
No motion sensor.
No vehicles or turrets. (duh, when you read the next line)
Played on Elongation.

There are two rules that can't be set, they are honored rules, but
I think the game may still work without these rules (since of
course they can't be implemented anyway).

1) Melee only
2) only 1 ball per team.

This started as a game variant for head to head split screen games,
but I tried it with two teams on XBox Live and it worked great. Very great
infact.

The goal of course is to score more time than your opponent before the time runs out. You can only have one ball at a time ( which is fine in head to head, but has to be honored in team games ). Your general strategy is to grab your ball and keep your opponent off theirs. Teams can drop their one ball and pick up the other if they want to move them closer to eachother. Once you or your team has secured a good lead your strategy changes to one of guarding the opponent's ball to one of staying away from your opponent/the other team.
