There's ample opportunity for a game type along those lines from Bungie. There's even a story element that fits: the Flood.

Everyone against one flood-infected player. When they kill someone, the victim comes back as part of the flood too. In my experience playing that zombie game it's just too much of a pain in the ass without official support for it. So, hurry up and make a proper game type for it, Bungie.

just a comment, not a custom game, but I really hope that bungie brings back 'Wizard' or a variant as a downloadable map... midship is cool, but it's still big, and so complex. Wizard was small and simple, and it gave birth to enormously wild rocket slayer matches, especially with 8 or more people at a time...

for nostalgia, I wanna go back and try Halo 1 again, using the Halo 2 default setup instead of southpaw jumpy... see if that makes any difference compared to my previous Halo 1 skill...

anyway, back to game types

Zombie
Team Slayer, 10 minute limit
Best with 10+ people. One person is on the green team (the "zombie").
Everyone else is red team. There was some weapon restrictions, can't remember them right now... Anyways, when a green zombie kills a red, that person must change teams to green. (kinda an honor system thing).
If greens take over everyone before 10 minutes, they win.
Best Map: Headlong, Blood Gulch

SWAT

Game Type: Team Slayer or individual slayer
Primary Weapon: Battle Rifle
Secondary Weapon: Magnum
No Sheilds
Weapons on map: Battle Rifle
Grenades: on
Unlimited Lives
First Team to 100 or First Individual to 25
Vehicles: Warthog only
Turrets: Machine gun
No Radar


TRUE SWAT

Game Type: Team Slayer or individual slayer
Primary Weapon: Battle Rifle
Secondary Weapon: Magnum
No Sheilds
Weapons on map: NONE
Grenades: on
Vehicles: Warthog only
Turrets: Machine gun
# of Lives: 1
Rounds: First to win 3 rounds
Time limit 20 minute per round (though this will not be necessary)
No Radar

Both of these game types are alot of fun, but TRUE SWAT takes a lot more skill and tactics since you only have the ammo that you start out with. In TRUE SWAT your team must kill the other team to win the round. First team to win 3 rounds wins.

Edit: Added No Radar per Water10 pointing it out. I forgot to add that before. Thanks!

These games with no shield should always be played with no radars as well, don't you think? At least I love the no-shield/no-radar games!

[krystyn]

those make me a nervous, weeping wreck.

I call it...Ouchie

Basically it's a needlers only slayer game. Not much fun with two people, but great with a big crowd, especially on the smaller maps (Midship is the best). Normal shields, health, radar, etc. Starting weapon: needler, weapons on map: none (would be needler if they gave that option ) grenades can be on or off depending on personal preference.

Although it would be cooler if they allowed you to set needlers as the only weapon on the map, the no weapons element does add a bit of a twist to it as your only ammo supply now comes from your fallen opponents. This is definitely one to try out. There's nothing like seeing one of those tiny rooms on Midship completely filled with flying purple death
