I was just thinking last night how similar the hard-light shield is to a shield the spartans used in 300 and was trying to think of a gametype to make for custom games that would involve one team of spartans that only have shields and energy swords and the other team, which would be Xerxes team battling them in someway. If anyone wants to add to this idea feel free, I think it could be fun if done properly.
I am thinking of sort of a zombies like gametype where the Spartans will always be outnumbered by Team Xerxes (in going with the theme of the movie) and the only way for the Spartans to win is to work together.
Feel free to add on to this idea or to elaborate on it, thanks.
