New Halo 2 Game Variants

As usual, I played Halo 2 yesterday. I got caught up with about 15 other players. I only knew GomerPyleUSMC.

These two variants were excellent variants that I hope the good folks at Bungie look at, as the standard games are starting to get a little old.

Here they are:

Dawn of the Dead
Red vs. Green. The red team are humans. At the start of the game all except one or two players (depends on the size and complexity of the chosen map) are humans. They can only use shotguns and their goal is to have surviving humans at the end of the time limit – usually 5-10 minutes.

The green team are zombies. They can only use swords and their mission is to zombiefy the humans. If a human is killed by a zombie, they must change teams. Humans may use swords to move crates and barrels, etc but may not fight with them.

Mike Myers. This game has nothing to do with Mike Myers the actor. The guy who came up with the game is named Mike Myers.

The rules to this game are as follows. There is a set time limit and one player is designated Mike Myers. Mike Myers can only use a shotgun and must try to kill everyone. One life per person. The twist is that everyone else must try to kill Mike Myers but cannot do so until there is one minute remaining in the game. The further twist is that once that one minute mark has come, Mike Myers can only be hunted with a revolver. In essence, in a four minute game, Mike Myers has free reign of the map and can kill anyone without impunity. But once that one minute mark comes, everyone left on the map hunts Mike Myers down wityh pistols.

Also good fun.

    Chilling is something we can’t afford to do… The sooner people realize we are at WAR the better… It’s not a question of “will we be hit” it’s “When will we be hit”…
