Its my favorite.

I dislike SWAT...
Much prefer other modes...
Rocket Hog Race and Odd Hog are good because hey it's a Warthog.

My favorite is oddball. King of the hill is also cool.

oddbal is...odd..

It's fun is what it is...

yeah, allright..

Well it's fairly chaotic and has plenty of opportunities for a suicide charge... incidentally that's also why i like Invasion.

GRIFFBALL!!

I really dislike Griffball in Reach - it was much better in H3.

Griffball-Organised Chaos in a handy Halo format.

The hockey games are quite fun, though I am not a fan of Haloball - especially the one without the divide in.

It would be interesting to develop some kind of ice hog hocky with low gravity hogs being used to push the ball into the goal

With our collective incompetence at driving our favorite vehicle i can foresee a lot of disorganised chaos in that future

I will have to experiment with making this game - ramps and things for the ball and hogs to bounce off will be fun

To the tinkering lab!
You make the map and i shall make the game type!
We'll test it out together next Saturday... sound good?

Sounds good - I think if we steal the hog labels and settings from rocket hog (I was thinking of using a Gauss Hog though?), and the goal/ball settings from hockey we are on to a winner

Also, I will add the dakka stompa map to my fileshare so you can have a look - it is only partially (and rubbishly) built though

Will do.
The Gauss hog is great but I'll warn you now, I'm a damn good shot with it and it is very over powered...
The rocket hogs have the delay in their rockets reaching the target and their relative inaccuracy... keeping them balanced.

We could play it both ways and see how it works. The hogs themselves are indestructable, so it is not too bad. Plus there is going to be much more terrain to hide behind than in rocket hog.

Yeah but if you can hurt the people in them...
Might be okay, we'll see...
First we need something to jump from.
I'll start making the gametype on wednesday...

Rocket hog makes the riders invincible as well as far as I am aware, it is only when you fall out that you can be killed.

Excellent, we can just shoot the poor sods that fall out then.

I was thinking of calling the gametype something like "HogPolo"

That sounds like fun... also it is descriptive... sort of...

Pft. Why use Hogs when you can give everyone Scorpions instead?

Scorpion football...
hog Polo...
Lets just do both.

As an American I don't expect you to understand the concept of "restraint"

Plus hogs are faster and more fun to go over jumps and things with.

Though perhaps we could include 1 tank as a kind of lumbering goal keeper or something? The only problem is that it will be seriously OP compared to the hogs, and would be almost impossible to flip so the driver will be completely immune to death/danger. We could try to make it take damage though, while the hogs were invulnerable?

Yes, but Scorpions also go stupidly slow and look like the blade of a hockey stick.

I was going to post an inuendo, but decided it was too rude for the open forums

However, I will see if I can get online tonight and we can see what we can build.

If anyone fancies a game of Reach my gamertag is Oshunai

My favoured game modes are oddball, crazy king and so on.

On the subject of the 'HaloHogHockey' make the vehicles invincible, have a wraith as keeper at each end and make the wraith easily damaged?
