No shooting, you get in the Hog and wreck the other fucker out of their rig, then run them over. Frag grenades sometimes legal, depending on who you were playing with.
Played a 4 player variant where the passenger got a rocket launcher-no gunner
We tried ghosts, but they’re so much harder to tip it didn’t really work. Though the matches where someone tried a ghost vs warthog were usually pretty good.
get murked. ghost back out to your old hog, get yeeted, lure the opponent into the trap in the cave, heave a well placed grenade, and steal his hog. Murder the fuck for his troubles
And just for the record, passenger in a warthog was my FAVORITE position in the truck. In Halo 1.
Sure, it’s less effective, but it’s way more accurate. Actually feels like riding shotgun, where you can’t see everything, and you sure as shit don’t have a stable firing platform. Super fun. In game.
The number of of times the passenger with the rocket launcher murked our own damn selves was… More than one. lol
Did you know, you can basically feed the warthog rocket fuel? Unfortunately, the speed boost usually kills the occupants
In smash bros, turn the launch multiplier all the way up and turn on sudden death mode so everyone starts at 300%.
Go to one of a few levels (the underground area of Hyrule Temple works, the underground area of Skyworld is better, but it’s best if you make a custom stage)
Getting hit once will send you bouncing around the screen! You only ever die if you get unlucky. It’s hilarious, and we call it “Pinball Mode”. I’ve made a couple custom stages to improve on the experience.
We used to play a “serial killer” game in Red Dead Redemption. The goal is to kidnap a woman without getting seen by anyone. Its actually a lot harder than you would think because female NPCs are RARELY unescorted in the game. It opens up an element of planning and stealth that you (or at least I) don’t usually use in that game.
My favorite was “Halloween” in Halo 2 multiplayer, kind of a knock off “hide-n-seek” but with a twist.
No shields, no radar, the only weapons were a sword and a pistol, and you only had one life. One player was “Michael Meyers”, that player had the sword and chased down everyone else. All the other players hid while Michael picked you off one by one. Once one player was left, that person became Jamie Lee Curtis and could try to take down Michael Meyers. (To be fair that person should be Dr Loomis or Laurie Strode but it was more fun to use the actor’s name than a character.)
The twist was the music. In Halo 2, you could hear enemy team chatter through the tv speakers and it got louder as you got closer to the enemy. Using that, Michael Meyers would have the Halloween theme song playing so you knew when he was close but you didn’t know where he was. It was truly thrilling, you hear the music, you know he’s close, but not where, the music would get louder and louder as he approached….and then he would walk right by your hiding spot. Or, you’re walking around as the music builds so you know he’s close, you think you’re safe because you have an idea where he is, and suddenly he’s right behind you with a sword in your back.
Infection on Zealot has to be one of the best times in Reach PvP. Your Reach posts have made me very nostalgic, but this one might take the cake. Good job.
Absolutely. I also loved infection on that one map that’s in the same world as the forge map, it’s like a floating level over water. Can’t remember the name now, it’s been years. Then there’s also a good one that’s all indoors, sort of a fancy human building, maybe corporate or hotel originally, I can’t remember now.
Then Alexandria was awesome, there was a super cheesy spot you could get to there. Oh and then there was an outdoors map with sort of a circular building in the middle of the map, that was great for infection too. Oh and then another indoor one, all grey walls, small outdoor area where you could fall to your death.
Now that I think of it, I think I just loved that game altogether. Damn now I’m nostalgic.
My issue is mostly that this is a “Mo money mo problems” situation. I did single player for B42 and I REALLY liked it. Going back to B41 is like swapping back to 480p from UHD.
That’s really the only thing keeping us from jumping ship to Build 42. Once it gets it I don’t think there’s much keeping us from switching over, especially with all the new building stuff
Ah boooo. I didn’t realize build 42 didn’t have multiplayer. Literally just suggested this to a friend. Guess I’ll continue to wait to play with somebody.
Damn. Me and a friend took months to finish Halo 2 on legendary. I think I’d do a yearly replay if it wasn’t for that. I have lots of respect for you doing the replays
halo 2 is virtually unbeatable on legendary, except you use speedrun strats and cheese. i gotta admit i turn down the difficulty in h2 because it doesn’t feel like the rock-paper-scissors type gameplay the other games offer. it’s just brutally unfair. your survrival in the first second on the high charity level depends on rng… i play for fun, not to torture myself
From the title I was thinking of, like, Grognak’s Adventure inside of Fallout 4.
But from the body text… Yeah, I don’t really do that. I am usually pretty annoyed by how many servers for games I want to play aren’t actually playing the game itself, but their own game inside the game and making up their own rules. Which is totally fine, but it should advertise it somehow or not even be public as many of these groups just kick randos out anyway.
I do like a lot of mods that were inspired by these games within games tho. ARMA Life only exists because people were already trying to play the normal game that way, and with the mod the rules can be more easily enforced through scripts instead of requiring hands-on management from an admin.
The first example I ever have seen and my favorite was that Day of the Tentacle had a computer that would allow you to play the entire first game, Maniac Mansion.
In GTA 5, get on a train, get a wanted level, try to keep the wanted level for an entire round-trip around the map, then try to escape the wanted level, all while staying on the train and surviving.
(it’s been a few years since I tried this and don’t remember if those were the exact rules, but they were something like this)
