Today’s game is Halo PvP. I believe last time I talked about this I mentioned some changes I made to the map Zealot. Well, today I got to test them. My friend has a bit of a problem with camping at the top during infection. So to gently… push him away from that I put kill barrier on the camping spots. It’s all in good fun and just messing with each other. The screenshot above is from me testing the barrier during a game.

That does bring me to a point I haven’t talked about yet. I love that you can customize the game that way (at least for 3/Reach). Don’t like a specific map feature or want it slightly different? Go into forge and change things around and bam. Problem solved. Or hell, want to make a whole new map? Forge will let you do that. I think my only complaint is Reach’s forge feels limiting in the materials available.

We also did a game of Duck Hunt, which my friends asked me to go into forge with too and either delete the bombs on the wall or change the respawn time. They felt they were too overpowered as you can wipe the entire team if you detonate them.

This game mode is fun, I believe I’ve mentioned it before. It has an issue of making you wait it out though one the Duck’s win, which isn’t a lot of fun. It’s not really an issue that can be fixed though I feel like. Also, I feel like the shuffle is broken? Like, my friend can get Sniper 4 times in a row one game while another gets no turn.

We ended off with another game of infection to test my changes… and my friend who was known for camping didn’t even try to camp this round. So my prank goes untested for now. It was a good game though. I had to switch to my PS3 controller so it’s taking some getting used too but besides that it was a fun game.
