Spartan Olympics

Hurdles

Referee lines up "guest" players in even intervals. If there is a map with sufficient moveable props such as boxes, those can be used instead.
Players take turns running the race course, "hurdling" the obstacles.
Players are time-penalized for touching the obstacles.
A referee times the race and declares the fastest time.

Spartan Olympics

Relay Race

Setup multiple CTF game.
Players divide evenly into teams of 2 or more.
Each team grabs an opposing team's flag.
Player 1 on each time lines up at the starting line.
Other players line up at even intervals on the map. For example, on Foundation, each leg of the race could be marked off by the rooms.
Referee starts the race.
At each leg of the race, each player must hand off the flag to his teammate, within the relay area. For example, on Foundation, the flag exchange area could be the concrete barrier outside each room.
The referee declares the winner, and disqualifies rule breakers.

Spartan Olympics

Tae Kwon Doe

Players disarm (as in basketball).
Players pair off and fight hand-to-hand in a ring or square. Perhaps, the center of Lockout or Ascension could be used.
Jumping is okay, but no grenades or swords.
The referee disqualifies a player for leaving the ring.
There are 2 ways to pick a champion:
Ladder: winner of each pair faces off at each level until there is a sole survivor.
Round Robin: Every player faces off against every other player. The winner is the player who wins the most rounds.

EDIT: Bogus game. As ThaJinx pointed out, you can't melee when you're disarmed.

Spartan Olympics

Steeplechase

Large map with uneven terrain, such as Waterworks.
Various vehicles, boxes, and "guests" are setup as obstacles.
Players run the race together.
The winner crosses the finish line first.
The referee disqualifies players who leave the boundaries.

How about Rocket Lunge Race? Probably played on Foundation. You have a "target" stationed at each corner of the upper level, and racers start with rockets and swords, with overshields and damage resistance on. You must rocket lunge around the map for a specified number of laps. Walking or running toward the next target gets you penalized, as does forgetting to cancel your sword lunge.

I didn't make up this game type but it is fun.

Resident Evil

Gametype: Team Slayer
Shields: None
Primary Weapon: Magnum
Secondary Weapon: Sword
Motion Sensor: Yes
Damage Resistance: No
Vehicles: Hogs Only
Turrets: Human
Grenades: No
Weapons on map: None (That's the normal way to do it but I find that you run out of ammo if you're on the human side very fast this way.)
Score to win: 100 (You can play with this as you see fit, when I played it only one human team hit 100.)


There are two teams, when I played it one was red (Human ) and the other brown (Zombie ). You can choose to start out with 1 or 2 Zombies depending on how full the room is. The Zombies can only use the Sword, the humans can only use a single Magnum, as in no dual wielding. If you're on the human team and you get slashed by a Zombie you have to switch to the Zombie team, also the first person(s) to get slashed by the Zombie(s) will be the starting Zombie(s) next round. Lastly, the Zombies can not operate the turrets or the gun on the back of the hogs but they can drive and one can ride passenger, they just can't gun.

Hide-n-Seek / Tag

ROBOGriff helped me work out the details.

Small-medium map, or it would get tedious.
Covenant-only weapons
No weapons on map
Vehicles allowed, but would it matter?
Unlimited grenades.
1 person is "it".
"It" counts to some arbitrary number out loud (50, 100, etc).
Everyone else finds a hiding place.
"It" has to find someone and stick (tag) him or her with a plasma grenade.
The person so tagged becomes "it", and must start counting again.
If you shoot, beat, or stick the person who is "It', you become "It."
If "it" tags someone by any other means than a grenade, it doesn't count.
Those who are not "it" may hide, run, walk, jump, yell, or sing to evade, evade, evade!

Variations:

Marco Polo: When "it" says "Marco", all the players must respond "Polo" on the open channel (no white button).

Zombies: Similar to zombie games above. "It" recruits new zombies by sticking them.

interesting... but it is quite hard to stick someone if their whole focus is to avoid getting stickied (as opposed to also trying to kill you)... in other words you're saying the only one doing the 'killing' is the IT. Everyone else is running. What if you allow the it to also use a sword? basically, if you're sliced or stickied by IT you become IT.
