"Halo 4" CTF Playdate 10PM EST TONIGHT
Posted By: pete_the_duckDate: 9/6/12 11:26 a.m.


If you're apprehensive about some of the changes in Halo 4's CTF, I'm hoping to run a Halo: Reach customs party at 10PM EST TONIGHT that attempts to mimick Halo 4's CTF settings!

Optimally, I'm looking for enough players to do 5v5. To sign up, put your gamertag as the SUBJECT LINE of your response. This makes it much easier to invite people! If there is significant interest maybe we can get several parties going. In that event, I'll put the gametype in my File Share (petetheduck).

This is for open-minded people that would like to experience some of these changes in order to better prepare themselves for November 6. This is exclusively for our benefit, not to have "grounds" on which to "prove" anything to 343 Industries.

Halo: Reach's Speedflag is remarkably similar to Halo 4's CTF. It features instant/auto flag pick-up and does not permit flag dropping. It also, by default, has no speed constraints on the flag carrier, has a perminent waypoint to the flag, and permits the flag carrier to shoot. I've further tweaked it to remove Flag Return Time and have Flag Reset Time of 30 seconds, per Halo 4's CTF settings, along with setting flag carrier vehicle use to passenger only.

Speedflag permits weapon usage while carrying the flag, although unfortunately I can't force Flagnum use. So, rather than attempt to use honor rules, I think--since Halo: Reach's and Halo 4's weapons are already going to behave differently--that the flag carrier should simply use whatever weapon they already have while carrying the flag. This is different from how Halo 4 will be, but we should still be able to experience the most substantial changes (constant waypoint, auto-pickup, no drop, carrier can shoot). I'm considering DMR+Magnum starts, weapons on map (but no grenades on map), Sprint-only loadouts. Everything in this paragraph is up for discussion.

Ultimately, the goal is to play this tweaked Speedflag variant on a variety of Halo: Reach maps while laughing and having fun.
