The Official and Only Halo 3 User-Created Gametypes/Maps Thread
In addition to our Files forums (located [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/default.aspx?mode=halo3]here[/url]), I'm creating a thread here on the Official Halo 3 Forum to serve as a catch-all for gametypes and map variants ONLY, that have been created by the community. The hope here is that this will be used as a resource and and archive of created games and map variants from the Community.
This is NOT a place to discuss the quality of an author's work or offer suggestions, do that in the links the authors will provide for their gametype/map variants. This is ONLY for collecting the gametypes.
Here's the format for posting, (I've bolded ONLY for the purpose of making the text stand out in this wall of text, please refrain from bolding in your posts) all posts in this thread that violate the post format will be deleted by the moderators.
[b][url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=13209070]Rebound, a Re-imagination of Snowbound[/url]
Designed with Symmetrical-arena style slayer play in mind, Rebound takes elements of Snowbound that previously turned the map into an interior camping battle, like the Shotgun, and awards both teams a Shotgun in their respective bases. Weapon sets have been made close to identical on both sides of Snowbound in an attempt to remove the tendency of players to crouch camp underneath. This map is ideal for 2-10 players. [/b]
[i]How to make these posts.
1. Create a gametype and map variant, upload these to your File Share.
2. Publish the Gametype and Map variants to the forums, save the links to those threads.
3. Create post in this thread, and link to the Map variant and Gametype at the Publish to Forums link here [this way players can easily click those links and download your gametypes.
4. Create a well-written explanation of changes made to the map and if necessary a description of the gametype you've created, including ideal number of players, number of teams (if necessary) and any other relevant information. Please write as clearly and coherently as possible.
5. Bungie will be watching this thread and using it as a resource for gametype creation from the community as well, all posts not relevant to the topic at hand will be removed and users potentially extinguished like torches in a monsoon.[/i]

Stairs Stairs is a small, fast paced, multilevel map that works with all map variants. Great for 2-8 players (and more if you like it really intense). With small amounts of people (2-4) I recommend a rocket-type variant. If you have more players then that then I recommend CTF, 1/2 Bomb, or regular Slayer. No mater what variant you play this map with (and it works with all of them!) you're bound to have fun!

^Cool can't wait to check them out. I was thinking of doing a race thing around sandtrap where the brute mines come up. We would increase the speed of course and add a lot of items to cause them to slow done.

Simple-Guardian Delete both power ups. Players start with Battle Rifles and Shotguns, with normal grenades on map. 1 Vs. 1 or 2 Vs. 2. [Edited on 10.12.2007 2:27 PM PDT]

[b]Newest Variants[/b] Map: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=15743021&viewreplies=true]The Complex - Goldeneye 007 Remake[/url] It's not even funny how close this map is to the original. Click on the link above and read the description for more details. Thanks! Map: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=15367054]Fort Knox[/url] This map is probably one of the most organized, well-thought-out forts that has been created for Foundry. It is an architectural masterpiece. Perfectly placed walls and stairs divide this 3 floored, 2 section base into many rooms that you can use to fight off intruders. Although the entrance to Side A of the base is quite obvious, there is a secret passage your enemies may find to get in. Although it was set up with capture the flag variants in mind, this map has been perfected for two days and can now host all gametypes. The only way into the base is on Side A, however side B can be accessed a variety of ways once inside the base. For most gametypes, one team will start inside the base while the other team tries to make its way in to capture the flag, deliver a bomb, kill the VIP, or infect humans. This map is a lot of fun and is definitely worth the download. Check out the screenshots and give it a try!

[quote][b] Check out my newest map, [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=14846118&viewreplies=true] Close Quarters![/url][/b][/quote] [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=13615833] Funnest, Lame name for a fun game! [/url] That's the map. I know it's confusing that the game is the same name as it's variant, but I wasn't really thinking at the time of creation. Oh well... Funnest is a map made for the game variant [i]Funnest[/i] (found [b][url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=13615848&viewreplies=true] HERE [/url][/b]), in which the object of the game is to defend and capture a single hill in the middle of Valhalla, though this task is not as easy as it may seem. [u] Objective[/u] To gather the most amount of time in the hill before the game ends (12:00) [u] Weapons and Vehicles[/u] Each team spawns with 1 Wraith, 1 Banshee, 2 Warthogs and 2 Mon...geese? Each player spawns with a Battle Rifle and a Shotgun for infantry work. Rocket Launchers are placed throughout the map, so picking one up is a quality strategy for anti-vehicle situations. Grenades regenerate, as to add to the frantic gameplay as well as to help take out vehicles and infantry. [u] The Hill[/u] The hill is located in the middle, and some objects have been placed in it to help make defending a little bit easier. Turrets allow easy defense of two directions as well as a quick anti-air weapon, and personal shields and tripmines respawn quickly inside of the hill. Another added bonus are the barricades placed in defensive positions around the hill. [u]Powerups and Miscellaneous Equipment[/u] At each base there are three powerups: Overshield, Active Camo, and what my friends like to call "super whitey". SW makes you extremely fast, gives you unlimited ammo, and allows you to jump high, but it also makes you very weak and susceptible to damage. And of course, it makes you white. Inside of the base there are also fire grenades and flares to help give you an offensive edge. [u]Conclusion[/u] This gametype works best with more people, but my friends and I have found 4 on 4 to work fine. The settings are tweaked to our liking, and may need to be tweaked to yours. In all, this is just a fun gametype to play with while goofing around, and can lead to some pretty hilarious scenarios. Thank you for your time and download! (If this...description is too out of format, let me know and I will shorten it. Thanks) [Edited on 11.28.2007 6:17 PM PST]

Baseball: Spawn with Gravity Hammers, mainly like normal baseball, but the ball=pitcher in the mongoose, batter=player with gravity hammer. Batter hits the mongoose driving at him and runs to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. Pitcher (still in the mongoose) gets back and tries to get to the base before the batter can get there. There are different variations with stands, home bases, etc. Can be played on either Valhalla or Snowbound.

[quote]Cool, I have a good one (it's weird, I made a thread like this a while ago; oh well). Also, first reply. Suck it, Internet...[/quote] [b][u][url=http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=2421177]Hamster Crack, an EGM/Bungie inspired game variant of pure insanity:[/url][/u][/b] The rules of this game are simple: Free for all, Gravity Hammers, Superspeed, and low gravity. There are no weapons/vehicles on the map, weapon pickup is disabled, radar is at 150m, infinite ammo is on, and there are no shields. I've only tested this game variant out with a max of six people (and it was really crazy), but played with 16 people, I'd expect it to be pure chaos! [i]Muhahahahaha![/i] [b]Recommended Players:[/b] 2-8 [b]Game Type:[/b] Free for All; Duel [u][b][url=http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=62037072]Hammer-On, Hamster Crack's younger, more versatile brother:[/url][/b][/u] This is a [i]lot[/i] less chaotic than Hamster Crack, with adjustments like lower speed, higher gravity (though still far from normal) and waypoints for everyone, Hammer-On involves more skill than luck this time around. [b]Recommended Players: 2-8 Game Type: Free For All; Duel[/b] [u][b][url=http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=8985021]The Gauntlet, a map made to cause anger and frustration:[/url][/b][/u] I first made this map when I figured out how to make fusion coil waterfalls. It works great with king of the kill (I put the hill in the center of a lot of action) and Hamster Crack. There are two "sets" of two-way teleporters, for the sake of fast travel, but they will also keep from instantly teleporting from one side of the level to the other. [b]Recommended Players:[/b] Any [b]Map Type:[/b] Offense/Defense; Arena [b]Size:[/b] Medium [b]Recommended Game Variants:[/b] Team Slayer, Territories, Assault, Slayer, King of the Hill [url=http://www.bungie.net/Online/Halo3UserContentDetails.aspx?h3fileid=62037072][u][b]Explosivo, a super fun game variant that's even fun on split screen:[/u][/b][/url] I made [i]this[/i] game variant back in Halo 2, when I didn't have Xbox Live and my game variants had to be fun for small amounts of people. Rocket Duel is the most fun I've ever had in small groups, so just imagine bringing up your 15 other friends and partying out! Try it, you'll like it!
