No thanks. Some things are ment for Customs not MM.

> I played one round yesterday; hopefully it sticks around long enough for me to give it a proper go.

If you are on later I’ll see if I can roll with you some games, it is really fun and casual mode.

I would like it if spartan charges counted for that instead of just being sword kills still. It would make it so much easier to work for the commendations for my company!

> > I feel the same way about charges not counting when it comes to spartan company commendations. I have been in two companies earning the Helmet twice over and always wished Griffball or something with swords would count for charges. Our first company was lucky though because that was back when you could use one speed boost for insta kill charges in Warzone lol. We knocked it out that week.

> Yeah, it is unfortunate. Really?!? That would make it so much easier to get that one finished up.

Yeah our first company was really lucky. We had the speed boost insta kill spartan charge. It was right about when Griffball was released so that took care of a lot of things(and it was also kinda messed up early on giving lots of melee kills and charges that it doesn’t do now) It was when we had the beta for firefight so all those commendations were knocked out. We just had everything going for it and got the Armor as one of the first 5 or so companies to do it.

I have not played it because I have been working on my weapen commendations in super fiesta. I am almost done and am starting on game mode commendations soon. Hope this will give me capture the flag commendations

Wish it was normal weapons instead of just swords and stickies but still fun.

I’m assuming it’s always swords? I played 1 round, saw it was running with a sword and trading kills, then bailed. I’m not a fan of hammers or swords, probably because I usually just trade kills.

thats nice so people with varying schedules can play. Thats using the old noggin.

Well done! Getting multikills in this playlist is certainly satisfying. What’s your favorite map?

Really don’t remember which map is which. The one with the prophet bane is the most exciting IMO because there is a lot more variables such as obviously picking up the Prophet’s Bane as well as the plasma turrets, speed boosts, etc.

I really do love this playlist, and while I would love it to be permanent, realistically it won’t, but it should be added to Action Sack, the issue is the team scale, 4v4 in Castle Wars isn’t nearly as fun. I was thinking of adding a 2nd Action Sack playlist with 8v8 teams that plays modes that are too big for 4v4, including this one, plus some 8v8 versions of the already existing 4v4 gamemodes that may fit well!
Now for the things I dislike about it:
The Plasma Grenade, I haven’t ever seen it in Castle Wars yet no one complained, adding them was an unnecessary and annoying change to it.
The Spartan Charge should be disabled here, it’s annoying and it breaks the point of sword duels, many times when I run toward someone they just Spartan Charge me instead of actually dueling.
While the Flagnum deals almost no damage it can still headshot shieldless foes, to me any kind of ranged attack isn’t welcome in Castle Wars. Also, remove those Shades in The Undercity of Sunaion and the Splinter Turret in Ecumene Sanctum.
Lastly, a 9min timer feels short, maybe a 12min timer?
Other than that my complain are just towards players who ignore the teamwork (you don’t need to talk directly to someone to do teamwork if they play smart) and my fear towards 8-Player Tryhards ruining the gamemode by farming commendations or something like that, which will freak me out if it happens.
Asides from all this, as a guy who prefers Close Quarters to most weapons and a skilled Swordsman in H5 I LOVE this mode. Sad thing I’ll be leaving for holidays tomorrow and by the time I returned it’ll be long gone.

That would be The Undercity of Sunaion, the first Castle Wars map I ever built. I’m glad you’re enjoying this mode.

That sounds insanely fun!!

i love sometimes kind of repetitive but the maps with extra flair are super fun

We need more of this playlist! More maps with different swords and abilities. A prophets bane on one map would be amazing to fight over.

One of the maps, The Undercity of Sunaion, has a Prophets’ Bane that spawns at the center. :wink:

yes i have been waiting so long for it to be a playlist

> I think it would been have been better if these were the conditions
> - Have it in Action Sack - Smaller map (only one map) - 4v4 - No Plasma Grenades - one vehicle per team

And after that bring back TEAM SNIPERS to social!

> Finally I can focus on those CTF commendations more productively.

Good luck already tried and the chances of getting the harder ones are near impossible!

Had a blast playing it last night. Finished my flag victory, got 10 mongoose kills and multiple kill tacs. Super fun playlist, even goimg solo (just may not win as much going solo)
