Re: Assualt Game-type in Halo 4 NPW AVAILABLE

: Yeah, that game night I held a couple weeks ago (should be doing another one
: this coming Tuesday) has gametypes that Forgers over at HaloCustoms.com
: have developed, including 1-Flag. It seems like Assault could be set up
: the same way, with the score point for one team inaccessible. Only thing
: is, when you set up 1-Flag, the game will actually switch teams as if it
: really is 1-Flag, and I'm not sure if that can be done with Assault.

Thank You. I forgot to mention that. It does in deed switch teams. Thanks for the reminder. ;)

: You can set the ball to disarm? I thought I'd tested that and it didn't work.
: Other reasons it's difficult to make Neutral Bomb feel like Neutral Bomb
: is that you can't use any game Ordance or Forge weapons on the map, only
: use Personal Ordance.

Yes you can. And it does work.
True, map weapons don't spawnin this version of Assault. It sucks but you do get PODs to counter that. I've got overshields etc (semi random) set up for players to counter this.

: I'll ask the custom game designers (they've also figured out how to play
: 1-sided Extraction and something that is very similar to Invasion) if it's
: possible to set up Assault using the same settings as the 1-Flag and get
: back to you.

It is possible. I just didn't want to set up MY maps for one bomb/flag. I like neutral flag/bomb and the way my version helps keep players on their toes. Keep in mind, the biggest difference between Grifball and CTF is that in Grifball we have the option to drop the ball if we wish. This greatly changes up the speed of the game and can cause it to fall off/out of a map and respawn easier. I also like that players are forced colors when they have the ball. This allows others to see when/if you just threw them the ball. Helps even out the auto pick up a little bit.

How do you do one sided Extraction/Dominion? I'm guessing that you assign the capture points to a same team so they already own it. But doesn't that cause issues with the Capture King settings? Or is it possible to turn those off?

I sooooo miss Invasion. :(
