For those of us who still do Halo 1 LANs, I thought it would be fun to compile a list of some of our favorite custom games. Post the settings and describe how the game plays.
I’ll start with one I created only recently, but has become an instant success at my LANs.
Rocketball
- Oddball Gametype
- Weapons set to Rockets
- Damage with Ball set to high
- Speed with ball set to fast
- No vehicles
- Team play
- Time to win: 5 minutes

This game is hectic and a lot of fun. The way Halo 1’s physics work are really what make this game great. The ball flies around chaotically with all the rockets going off. If you’re good, you can use rockets to launch the ball to yourself from anywhere on the map. Hang 'Em High, of course, is perfect for this type of game with the wide open space and high ceilings coupled with its narrow corridors, dangerous ramps, and tombstones.
