I always wonder why they haven’t had any. I think it would actually be pretty cool to see how these play out. I’ll list them below and you guys tell me what you think.
Last Man Standing - Slayer with no respawns
One Bomb - Basically you have a team on offense and one on defense. Team that is attacking tries to plant the bomb within a certain amount of time, and defensive team tries to stop them. No respawns.
Team Leader - Pretty much Regicide, but leader is known right away. You can respawn as long as your leader is still alive, or unless killed by other teams leader. After any of those happen, you can’t respawn.
Obviously yes, this does take from other games, but why not expand? If people aren’t liking it, take it out, simple as that. I for one would love to see what Halo could be with this.
Single death gametypes would be fun, imo. I like the idea of one life per round, it makes the rounds extremely tactical. Unfortunately the whole one life per round ordeal rings of CoD, which will certainly piss off many in this community. Couldn’t hurt to add it into the rotation though!
Remember they did in fact try to implement this in halo 3 it was called eliminatitio i believe.
Imagine adrift with 12 players FFA last man standing wins, although i think last man standing shouldn’t be the winner but the man with most points, last man standing could get bonus points.
Or perhaps a halo wingman where six teams of two play an elimination game.
And people are always gonna compare games to other games but they need to remember:
We likely wouldn’t have spartan ops if it wasn’t for spec ops, we likely wouldn’t have had spec ops and firefight if it wasn’t for horde. We even likely wouldn’t have First-Person Shooters if it wasn’t for Doom or some other such game/gametype.
I, at some point in the past, created a custom paintball game variant on a custom map. It was a decent concept, but not very exciting to play. Games ended pretty quickly for the most part. Would be better if there was some genuine cover system built into the game. Without it, games like that can’t really be successful. It ends up being a camp fest.
What would be the trouble? They’re all variants of a gametype already. Don’t tell me that they are at max capacity and can’t add variants to them… Only additional one would be bomb, which i didn’t know was excluded.
People can scream COD all they want, it would be something nice to have in addition to our current playlist. And also, little do some people know, their late great COD probably ripped off another game more than any other has, and that was Counter Strike.
You can say that for many games too. People need to move past that tho and let the game evolve with others. I never said to change Halo to that, I only said it would be some great additions. Besides, Halo is and will always be it’s own game. Just because it takes a few elements of another, doesn’t make it the same.
Amazing… 3 post like this already, all with the same illogical and closed minded response. If you wanna add to a discussion, at least justify what you’re saying. How can you even say it’s not Halo? Especially when I’ve never even seen it tried, and I’m sure you haven’t either… As for CoD, I don’t even like that game, lol. I just don’t understand why people post stuff like this, why even bother? I can’t help but picture a Caveman or Bizzaro coming up to me saying “CoD bad… Halo good… You no say good gametype… me no like you.”
Anyway, I see a no harm no foul situation here. Unless they’re really at the max for everything, which i hope not, why not do it? Never hurts to give something like this a try when they can just as easily take it out.
