What’s up everyone! You may have seen me around on a few threads regarding Multi-Team Ricochet, saying I’m gonna do all sorts of stuff with it, and I’m here to follow through on my promise! I have a small-scale test map for Rocket Race that only utilizes Red and Blue teams right now (this WILL be updated shortly to accommodate 2 more teams), as well as a brand new created gametype! I have ALSO created a Mongoose variant on Ravine that would fit the Multi-Team Matchmaking standards, utilizing 6 teams of 2. There is one twist to the Mongoose race, though: INCINERATION CANNONS. Instead of going 100% classic, I decided to make use of the new Halo 4 Sandbox and use the incredibly powerful Incineration Cannon. Now, before I officially release these 2 brand new gametypes and maps, I need testers. I need a list of 11 other people to help test these gametypes and maps to their FULL potential. Simply message me on Xbox Live and I’ll get everyone into a custom game to test both the Mongoose and Rocket Hog variants. Should testing be successful, I will release the maps and gametypes publicly.
ALSO NOTE: If you have a Rocket Race map you built before the Ricochet update, PM me the name of the map, and what File Share I might find it on, so I may fix it to fit this new Rocket Race variant! Community Creations are more than welcome!
I had a small testing session about an hour ago, and got some helpful feedback. I feel my map now has the ability to be near-perfection for the Warthogs. I just have to build up the final map.
Mongooses didn’t go as planned, so that needs to be changed entirely. Ravine =/= good Rocket Race map. It’s too small and confined for 4 teams of Mongooses, much less 6 teams. Although I did learn Incinerators do make for some interesting gameplay.
The game types are entirely finished. It’s just the maps that need a little work before they can be released. I will release links to Incineration Gooses and Rocket Race soon
EDIT: Links to gametypes are now in the first post! Maps coming soon!
If you can give me a time and date, i would love to help test out your map. I recommend creating a playdate, and asking players to join. That way, you can get a full 16 lobby going on and get good feedback from good members from the community.

It’s built for a party of 12, rather than 16. That’s because 16 players can’t break evenly into 3-member teams for Warthogs.
> Awesome. Immediate ‘Send to XBox’ click. Can’t wait for the maps.
Keep in mind the maps will just be basic open maps on the Forge Islands, so they won’t be anything too spectacular. That’s why I posted in the OP as well that I will also take pre-built maps and convert them to support Rocket Race.
