In Response To: Re: I love discussions :) (RC Master)


: Thank you! I'm glad it's going over well :D

Your welcome good sir, +1

: At home to score is insane - all it ever does in my games is grind the game
: to a halt as teams are too afraid to risk giving up the Flag they're
: holding to go attack the other team again. There is a reason it's not in
: many Flag gametypes to begin with!

+1

: Plus I don't like how it makes one player, who has come all the way across
: the map, then have to absolutely stop and do nothing while the rest of
: their team messes about trying to reset their Flag.

+1

: Wait, I thought they said they were trying 5v5 but ultimately decided to
: stick with 4v4 since it fit the maps they were making better?

uhh... might have missed something? idk, I thought I heard in the video they wanted 5v5 but if you know better then go with your gut, I cant confirm that

: If they did anything, I just wish they would do that :/
: Invasion could also use that rule IMO.
: I can't imagine they're out of script space since they were still adding
: goddamn Slayer and SpeedFlag to the CTF gametype!

no shit to that, +1

: Oh I understand as well - so that if teams are equal on Flag caps, they can
: be differentiated on kills. Problem is, when one team has the advantage in
: kills to a large enough extent, they can prevent the other side from
: getting any Flag caps at all. They make 1 to secure the win, and then have
: 150 extra points to grind through in kills!

Which very much does happen

: I actually spent some time concepting ways to use the notion of Kills + Flag
: captures to differentiate teams. The closest I got to something good, I
: think, was making it one flag, where attackers only got (big) points for
: flag captures, and defenders got points for kills. I can't remember
: exactly where my thought-train went with that, but I ended up not liking
: it since I thought it would make attackers too cautious with their lives
: when they should be gunning for the Flag (IMO). I ended up liking the
: time-pressure idea better, seems more 'Halo'.

I am still churning my brain on thinking of a better way to incorporate this modern slayer flag amalgam, I feel like there is something to it, I really do, just cant figure it out.

I love the timing aspect!! I forgot to hit on that in my original response. +1

: I like Invasion too :) People have been asking a lot for me to do an Invasion
: vid (and Infection!) but TBH I hadn't thought much about Invasion in Halo
: 4 yet and my hopes were kinda dashed when it was announced there were no
: Elites in Halo 4 MP, but this could give me a good excuse to think about
: it more!

I think the concept is just to good, between Rush and Invasion there is just to much awesomeness on paper to give up, as I said I hope more than anything a new type of Invasion will surface in Halo 4.

6 Players suits it so well, (I only play INV if we have 6 in party pretty much) its more controlled than big team, provides uber amounts of strategy and role players, its just everything I want in a Halo objective match rolled into one.

Its one of my most anticipated gametypes in 4, how they will innovative and put their twist on it. I cant wait to find out

p.s.
every single offense/defense objective game should have mercy rule in effect, no reason a game should go on when tying/winning is out of the question for the second team, it only leads to abuse whether intentional or not.

*so that was +5, so you have a pretty good lead, but if I can get 1 flag cap then we will be tied, or should I turtle up and cut away at the lead....
lol
