Solution to lack of trolling: Gametypes

Don’t mindlessly bash. No really, don’t.
Not until you read the whole post.

As we all know, 343 took it upon themselves to implement a banning system which has it’s…points I guess. It bans anyone and everyone in accordance with suicides, teamkilling, AFKness etc. Which is good for removal of:

  • really young kids who don’t really care about K/D and just want to have fun, however they want - people who can’t sit still for more then 2 seconds - people who leave 1 minute into a game - and unfortunately…people who enjoy watching others get really mad about something, otherwise known with a hateful tone "trolls"With this implemention however, there is suddenly a lockdown on enjoyment in an really competitive game that only has like 5 maps ATM. Which uh, and I know you know this, can be slightly repetitive. However, since we are unable to blow off steam with the banning in place, we just collect the annoyance and anger that comes from losing match’s and whatnot even when we go tryhards.

There is a cure for this collective anger for us trolls, which is quite simple and will become available to us in the very near future. Forge, and it’s vast possibilities for gametypes.
We can use the new Forge, and create fun gametypes especially for us which would be fun to win, and rage inducing in those you lose and allow us to troll without getting rekt by the ridiculous ban system.
Just a few awesome ideas would be:

  • Maze gametypes in which you have to trust your teammate to show you the way to the goal from a vantage point. - BTB or slayer gametypes which involve use of many kinds of traps that can kill both enemies and friendlies - Halo Death Run wouldn’t be a bad one - Puzzle gametypes which require cooperation of quite a few players (Already can see the trolls from that) - Partner Parkour. Nuff saidI know that can’t be all the possible idea’s for fun gametypes for trolls to blow off steam in, put down some more below.

So if I read the whole post…

I still get to mindlessly bash you?

Yes, but keep it to a minimum since you-know-who hasn’t fulfilled their daily quota of locking threads

Please remind me later, when you send me a game invite, that I once vowed never to enter the field of battle with you. Thanks in advance.

OK. Git gud, skrub. :slight_smile:

But seriously, what would be some good ideas for gametypes?
I’m asking with the belief that these gametypes wouldn’t be put into matchmaking, but be really meant between friends and people who know each other. God knows none of these would ever make it into matchmaking with randoms XD…although that would be a dream come true.

Ice Breaker. Jenga. Roshamboat. Fishtail. Low-G Slayer. Husky Raid. Jetpack Parkour. These are a few of the game types I tried in H4 that didn’t make me want to blow my brains out. Some were strictly for customs, others actually made it into matchmaking. Game types that did make me want to blow my brains out: Cops & Robbers, Guard the House, Prop Hunt, Duck Hunt, Assassination-only games, and too many ludicrous flood variants to even remember let alone name. Hard to say which will be options for H5. Jetpack Parkour is definitely out. Anything requiring fiesta weapons or bottomless clips would be out if I recall correctly. So no Husky Raid, no random weapon Roshambo-style games. But I’m sure that for everything taken away there will be something new that will present us with unbounded possibilities. We’ll know soon enough.

Jenga would actually be a good one, however I don’t know how you would move the pieces.
Prop hunt is a really good one as well but since the Xbox can’t be modded I wouldn’t expect it to happen.
