Re: "Halo 4" CTF Playdate 10PM EST TONIGHT

In Response To: "Halo 4" CTF Playdate 10PM EST TONIGHT (pete_the_duck)


:

: If you're apprehensive about some of the changes in Halo 4's CTF, I'm hoping
: to run a Halo: Reach customs party at 10PM EST TONIGHT that attempts to
: mimick Halo 4's CTF settings!

: Optimally, I'm looking for enough players to do 5v5. To sign up, put your
: gamertag as the SUBJECT LINE of your response . This makes it much easier
: to invite people! If there is significant interest maybe we can get
: several parties going. In that event, I'll put the gametype in my File
: Share (petetheduck).

: This is for open-minded people that would like to experience some of these
: changes in order to better prepare themselves for November 6. This is
: exclusively for our benefit, not to have "grounds" on which to
: "prove" anything to 343 Industries.

: --

: Halo: Reach's Speedflag is remarkably similar to Halo 4's CTF. It features
: instant/auto flag pick-up and does not permit flag dropping. It also, by
: default, has no speed constraints on the flag carrier, has a perminent
: waypoint to the flag, and permits the flag carrier to shoot. I've further
: tweaked it to remove Flag Return Time and have Flag Reset Time of 30
: seconds, per Halo 4's CTF settings, along with setting flag carrier
: vehicle use to passenger only.

: Speedflag permits weapon usage while carrying the flag, although
: unfortunately I can't force Flagnum use. So, rather than attempt to use
: honor rules, I think--since Halo: Reach's and Halo 4's weapons are already
: going to behave differently--that the flag carrier should simply use
: whatever weapon they already have while carrying the flag. This is
: different from how Halo 4 will be, but we should still be able to
: experience the most substantial changes (constant waypoint, auto-pickup,
: no drop, carrier can shoot). I'm considering DMR+Magnum starts, weapons on
: map (but no grenades on map), Sprint-only loadouts. Everything in this
: paragraph is up for discussion.

: Ultimately, the goal is to play this tweaked Speedflag variant on a variety
: of Halo: Reach maps while laughing and having fun.

What about the infinite ammo? Also is it too late to sign up?
