Ok, im looking to find some new ideas for games at our lan parties. If any of you guys have really fun gametypes that you guys play, post them here.

Some of ours:

The Guardians
(infinate grenades) only works with 4 people

Slayer
Alien weapons only
Only allowed to use grenades and melee atack


Chaos

Team Slayer
Invisible Players
No Radar
No Team Indicators
:D

Shotty

Slayer Pro (50 frags)
Shotguns only
No Sheilds
50% health
(best stage to play on is longest)

Also play Invisi CTF Pro.....that is really fun

Yeah, jelgiad, I love that Shotty set-up. I play that all the time on Longest, only w/ 100% health and no shields. It's fun on any map, really, but Longest and Wizard make it super fun.

I'd like to play a game on Wizard that was melee only. For like, 15 kills. It could get boring, I suppose, but would be a riot for a while. Imagine a couple of MC's going boxing away. Or better yet, a huge team free for all melee match!

Inviso Rock

Invisible players
Rocket launchers only
200% health and full shields
Infinite grenades (optional)

Best levels to play Inviso Rock on are Wizard, Longest, and... that round blue level... Derilect?

Yeah, but the only attack you'd be allowed would be the melee. Nothing else. It'd be hard to keep people from busting out there weapons, sure, but a full-on, melee-only FFA or team FFA could be fun. Or not. :p

Just a thought....

He means team ffa contradicts itself. FFA stands for free for all, in which case their couldn't be teams.

Shoot me now. What a morning. You guys are right. What I meant was a Team Slayer Melee-rama. :o

Okay, now I'm gonna take a nap on my desk. Wake me in a couple hours.

For lans partys these are what works fine out ours.

these are all 4vs4 game types. 3 on 3 is fun too. I NEVER play with motion trackers on. only if its all plasma because it is nessasary.frienly indicators are always on. Never death bonus and/or kill penalty is on.

+all below have 5 sec spawn and 15 suicide. normal/generic

*Team slayer
*Team KOTH, kill moves, nav point on hill
*Team oddball, spawns in diff locations, 1 ball, nav on ball.
*FFA kill in order. nav point over targer. Make everyone invisable for extra fun

+all below have 10 sec spawn, normal generic, 15 suicide
*CTF, flag at home to score, 2 flags, flag doesnt reset(touch it, it goes back), hogs only.

all these games provide a challenge if teams are equal.

WE never do all rockets, no shields, and all of one weapons type as well as never infanite gernades. I think those are crap and show less skill.

BTW there is no such thing as team Free for all.....free for all get it?

i like this chaos idea... sounds very fun. hehe i'm gonna melee somebody in the back hahahaahahah. anyways all i do is have 50 frags, all weaps, 50 percent life w/shield. best map i think is longest, rat race, and hang em high. derelict or something is also okay...

mines not that different or interesting, but at least it lasts longer than normal slayer and the newbies are able to kill the more advanced players cuz of 50 percent life.

man if i had more time to link 2 xboxes, i would make CTF rules... man CTF must be fun!!!

If I stole somebody else´s idea am sorry.

"Doesn´t Have a Name"

Stage: umm Boarding action or something
All invisible
Sniper guns
No Radar
Grenades: unlimited
15 kills

It´s for the players with awesome sniping skills and fine sight.
I would call it "Ghost Hunt" or "Sh*t son!!"

FFA kill in order is a great gametype. The best way to run it is on Wizard with about 6 people or less, it gets kind of hectic with eight. ALso we used to play this game(we call it 1ctf):

HH
CTF both flags
snipers/pistols
10* second spawn
no nav on flags
no radar of course
Best team gets red base

Sounds good, i'll give u or Dees my telephone # at nolaff. I'd need to know a week in advance. My buds work and some go to college. Aslo if team arent even we can always switch em up. We mix up teams all the time at our lans to keep it fair.

WARTHOGBOOM:

Rockets only
Warthogs
200% health + shield
Infenite grenades(Plasmas only)

Players must battle with warthogs to remove the other from their vehicle. Once removed you must run them over for the kill. Only to save themselves from being run over are they then allowed to use rockets. The players without Warthogs have options:
Use Tank w/o firing weps
Use ghost without firing weps
Use rockets to remove drivers from warthogs

Plasmas can be used to blow a car away from someone nearing it or to get it closer to yourself.

Man i was just going to say that. :cry:

If you use race you can get more than just 2 hogs but you need to exit when your done or start playing race when the hog fun ends.

or just add a certain number of lives per person

A gametype I devised works kinda like Halflife: Counterstrike on PC.

CTF
Single Flag
5 Minutes
Plasma/Normal/Human weapons
One life
400% health
3 Captures

A lot of people are turned off by the one life concept, but it encourages people not to be crazy suiciders (unless your a defender). Besides, you have 400x health!

Hope someone tries it.

HALO is great. But if you're really looking for a massive change I just did the same.
A little title called Return to Castle Wolfenstien was a steal when I bought 2 copies for $39.98.
It's a great way to take a multiplayer experience & throw it in a Good War Setting.
Bunkers, Storming the Beach, Shanking someone with your blade, & of course: Flamethrowers!
It's a good game & a great change up. It's no HALO, but heck, I totally needed to get some more LAN Exp. Now, just to invest in High Speed Internet...
