In Response To: Just a clarification... (candyman)

: It's funny that I keep seeing this mention of "Halo and its 26
: gametypes." Here it is straight from the UI guy-
: Halo has five distinct types of gameplay: Capture the Flag, King of the Hill,
: Slayer, Oddball, and Racing. For each of these, there are rule variants
: (single flag, assault, moving hill, etc.) On top of these variants are a
: vast array of environmental settings like no motion tracker, pistols only,
: no shields, tanks only, etc.
: We decided that it would be a good idea to take our favorite variations and
: create preset gametypes that ship with the game so people can just hop
: into a multiplayer game without having to set all the rules and variations
: before each multiplayer game. Saves time. There are 26 of these preset
: gametypes. However, what I haven't seen mentioned yet, is that you also
: have the ability to create your OWN custom gametypes. If you really get
: off playing team slayer with invisibility on, motion tracker off,
: indicators off and 50% health with only rocket launchers, you're more than
: welcome to do so. Halo is very flexible that way. There are far, far more
: multiplayer possibilities than just 26.
: Cheers!

This makes a boatload more sense. Now if only the mainstream press gets this... :)

Dang... no, you won't. :(
