Union Halo Night, Thursdays 9:30pm EST
- Thread starter BDaddyK
- Start date
Looking for suggestions on game maps and types you guys want to play. I have been trying to vary it up (with the exception of the weekly game of rockets on Prisoner I think we've been doing a good job).
Last night was the first time we included Halo 4. Definitely has a different feel that 1-3 but that is not necessarily a bad thing to help us continue to mix it up. Here is a list of all the Halo Maps:

Here is a good place to check out the various maps if you're having a hard time remembering which is which.

Use the search bar at the top to search the map name.
What I'd like to do is come up with a list of maps and game types ahead of time so those of us who'd like to could do some research and running around on those maps ahead of time to refamiliarize ourselves with weapon/objective placements so we're not running around blind. I was completely lost on the Halo 4 maps we played on last night.
We probably should have done one at the end when we had 10 people. Hopefully this will grow and we'll be able to get up to 16 people down the road. Would love to do some BTBs or even get some 4v4v4v4 matches going.

Definitely not multi flag on lockout, that was silly.
I got some suggestions for Halo 2 Classic.
Team Slayer on Ascencion
Team Oddball on Lockout
Team Crazy King on Lockout
Team Slayer on Midship
Team Oddball on Midship
One bomb on Headlong ( 5 v 5)
One flag CTF on Zanzibar ( 5 v 5)
CTF on Waterworks ( 5 v 5)
CTF on Beaver Creek
CTF on Blood Gulch ( 5 v 5)

Yeah, multi-flag was a disaster...shortest game of CTF I ever saw....and, no excuse because you had to have your flag at home in order to score....friggin domination.
So....I started an excel chart....that has columns for the name of the map, the version of Halo its in, a column for each date and the gametype we played that night...figured it might be good to keep track of what we're playing....going to start and email list. If you want in send me a PM with your email address and I'll send it to you.
Here is what I have for last night...what am I missing?
Abandon Halo 4 SWAT
Colossus Halo 2 Team Slayer
Longbow Halo 4 TDM
Prisoner Halo: CE Rockets
The Pit/Pit Stop Halo 3 TDM
Tombstone Halo 2 Snipers
Could we rotate games/weeks?
I am dying to do just Big Team only on CE and mostly on the PC maps I never got to play but also classics like Blood Gulch ETC...

Let me know which maps you want to do BTB on....I'll add Blood Gulch to the list....do you want to play BTB Slayer/CTF/Assault.....any specific parameters you want...time limit, score limit, etc.
I think its good to mix up the game types we play to keep everyone interested. BTB might not be some people's cup of team...and, the highest number of people we've had has been 10 people...which is big enough for BTB but some of those maps are huge and you really need an 8v8 to keep the action going.

Anything on Bloodline from H2 A. That map is great.
Last night, some of the funnest games BK and I played were on Wizard from CE. Never got to play the remake for H2A
That was fun. Rockatansky needs a handicap, dude was tearing everybody up.
Tell me bout it, dude was a billet sponge that I just couldn't kill!!!
Yeah Wiz from H:CE classic slayer was the bomb!
Is bloodline the remade blood gulch map?
Beaver Creek is fun too, slayer/CTF
Rat Race from H:CE I always liked, one of my favorites for slayer when I played on XB Connect back in the day.
Sidewinder from H:CE Slayer/CTF is fun
Hang em High from H:CE is always fun for Slayer/King/Crazy King

Dude, what's your GT again?
it had ladders and also transporters... There are two sides to the map...3or four floors on each side divided by space in the middle
Definitely want to either do either Team Snipers or Team Rockets on that map...each side is colored Red or Blue and then there are numbers on the walls to let you know which floor they are on. I'm pretty sure that that ladders take you up and down and the transporters take you across to the other side. Would be a great thing if you can shout out to your team where you see them on the other side......or, if you see them entering a transporter and coming across to your side.
I remember playing this on split screen with friends and you'd clinch up when you'd hear someone firing a rocket because you didn't know if it was coming for you.....the rockets take a while to get across the void in the middle so there is a delay between when you fire and when it reaches the target. Makes it really tough to hit people as you either have to lead them if they're running or hope they don't move after you fire at them.
Rockets on that map was the best, like you said, not knowing they're coming at you. That was one of the favorite maps when we'd have LAN nights at my buddy's place.
Oh you'd know a rocket was coming for someone when you heard the whoooosh of it being fired by someone else....you had about a two second before it impacted you if you were one the opposite side of the map....lol

A chart of all the Halo Maps with hyperlinks to their Wikia page, also can be filters for size, halo version, and how many times we played it....had some extra time at work today...
Oh you'd know someone's rocket had your name on it, especially when all you'd hear is rockets launching...
Yeah, it had the Hornets on it. Sooo good, and possibly the best looking map in the game.
Went through my forged map last night and made some changes to it.
https://account.xbox.com/en-us/game...xNJ&scid=77290100-225e-4768-9373-98164430a9f8
I go to a web site called forgehub.com and posted my first video of the map and got some feedback about things I could do to change it. I lowered 4 of the floor pieces to give the map some additional changes of height. It in turn helped the green/yellow bases (green and yellow) get to the center of the map more easily. Might still add something to the back of the map to help them get to the bottom center from the back of the base as well. Added spawn points and respawn points for the blue,red,yellow and green teams and colored the floors and all the pieces of the bases for each team. Added a plasma turret and grav lifts to get to them on the green and yellow bases as well.
Added the flags for all four bases for CTF. Added weapons all over the maps. Replaced the warthog in the red and blue bases with a second mongoose and added two mongoose to the yellow/green base.

Thanks, depending on how many people we get on Tuesday I might want to try it out if its ok with everyone. One thing I need to figure out is how to create a kill zone underneath the map. Right now you fall for a long time before you die because you leave the limits of the map. Want to give a little distance for the fall kill so that the hornet and banshee can be flown underneath without the player dying though.
