The Director

Do you know WILE Coyote?

There are several different gametypes that you can set a map up for in Halo Reach. Firstly, you have to have created your map in Basic Editing. After that, it's pretty simple. While in the forge lobby, select the gametype that you want to make your map compatible with (i.e. Capture the Flag, Assault, etc.) and start the forge. For each gametype you will need a certain amount of objectives to make it compatible. It's good to have your map spawns figured out in Basic Editing, so that you don't have to lay down 200 different spawn points. The following is a list of gametypes as well as what you need to do to make them compatible with your map. Press ctrl+F and type in the gametype you are looking for, because this is going to be a long one. pre Assault: For assault you will need at least three capture plates and hill markers. One Capture plate and hill marker for red team, one of each for blue team, and one of each that will remain neutral. You will find these under "Objectives". For each of the capture plates, set them to the proper team (it's at the top when you press X) and then go to Advanced and set Game-Specific to True (this will come in handy if you want to forge other gametypes as well) and Game Type Label to AS_Goal. Once you have all of the capture plates set up, put the hill markers (also under objectives) on top of them. Set them to the proper team (it will be the same team as the capture plate) and set them to Game-Specific True and the Game Type Label to AS_Bomb. Now, your assault game is ready to go. Capture the Flag: The gametype variant you select will not matter. I prefer the top choice because it's faster. What you will need is EITHER three capture plates OR three flag stands. It doesn't matter which of these you choose. One is for red team, one is for blue team, and one is for Neutral Flag. Once you figure out where you are going to put them, press X and set them to the proper team. Red for red, blue for blue, and neutral for neutral. Then go to Advanced and set them for Game-Specific True, and Game Type Label CTF_FLAG_RETURN. Once you've done that, your map is playable. If you wish to set up respawn zones so that teams will spawn in different areas depending on whether their flag is away or at home, spawn a respawn zone (under spawning) set the team it's for, and select advanced. If you want them to spawn in a certain area when the flag is away, set it to CTF_RES_ZONE_AWAY, if you want them to spawn in a certain area when their flag is home, set it to CTF_RES_ZONE. Now, your CTF game is ready to go. Headhunter: For head hunter all you need is drop points. This is where players will "drop" their skulls, converting them into score. However many you put will be up to you, but bear in mind that you only actually need one or two. For this, you will need hill markers. Once you have your hill markers where you want them, make sure the team on them is "Neutral". Then, go to advanced, select game-specific and make it true, then set the gametype label for HH_DROP_POINT. Now, your Headhunter game is ready to go. Juggernaut: You don't really need to do anything but make sure you have the proper amount of spawns for Juggernaut. You need to have both team and FFA spawns on your map anyway, to make it playable for any gametype. Otherwise people will spawn off of your map. Once you have the spawns, you are done. Now your Juggernaut game is ready to go. King of the Hill: King of the Hill is very easy to set up. All you need is hill markers. However many you want is up to you, but I like to have 4 on my maps. Once you have figured out where to put your hill markers, make sure the Team is set at Neutral, and then select Advanced. Set Game-Specific to true, and set the game type label to KOTH_HILL. See? Easy. Now your KotH game is ready to go. Oddball: for this rather awkward game of holding balls for points, all you need is one capture plate. Once you've spawned and set up your capture plate, set the team to Neutral (it should be by default, but you should double check) and then go to advanced. Set it to Game-Specific True, then set the game type label to ODDBALL_BALL. Now your Oddball game is ready to go. Stockpile: For this one all you need is two capture plates and one flag stand. It's suggested that you set up to five flag stands though, to make the game a little shorter and more fun. Your capture plates are for your teams, so set them up accordingly. The flag stands should be an neutral points across the map, so that it doesn't favor one team over another. Once you have the capture plates set up, set them to the proper team color (Red or blue) and go to advanced. Select game specific and make it true, then put the game type label as STP_GOAL. Now your goals are set up. Then, select the flag stands and make sure they are neutral. No team colors for them. Once that's done, go to advanced, and make them game specific true and set the game type label as STP_FLAG. Once you've done this, you have everything set up. Your Stockpile game is ready to go. Territories: For territories you will have to select the gametype "Territories" at the bottom of the list. Once in forge, all you will need is a few Hill Markers. It only uses up to 5, so using more than five hill markers is pointless unless you've got something planned. Once you've got them set up make sure the team is neutral, then go to advanced. Set Game-Specific to True, then set the game type label to TERR_OBJECT. Now, here is the tricky bit. For them to actually work you have to set the spawn sequence. It has to be a number from 1 to 5. I usually just set them all on one, but go ahead and experiment to see what it does. Once you've done that, you're done. Now your Territories game is ready to go. Alright, for Invasion, Infection, and Race I'm going to refer you to Youtube for a bit because these get rather complex. For any complexities on any gametype so far listed that I have not helped you with, please use this. http://www.youtube.c...Z8E51g&tracker= If your questions are not answered by those videos, please post them here. Have fun with your forging. The Director.

I like the maps, but the seriousness of the players throws me more often than not. So 50/50. If you could live out a Halo game (campaign wise) which one would it be?

Here's a video that may help you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omGIfkmXFX8"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omGIfkmXFX8

The only time you get a ban for "skill" is when you get zero kills a couple of games in a row. That ban is actually called the "afk ban" and is quite a bit more serious than a quit-ban. It can last anywhere from 24 hours to permanently. The ban is actually pretty various as well, it could be a rank reset, a credit ban, or even not allowing you to join matchmaking. I think your friend is either joking with you or misread the notice. If it was under a daylong ban, then it was a quit-ban, and you should tell him to stop being a little girl and play the game to avoid another one in the future. And yes, they do get larger if the offense is repeated.

SWAT, by far. What was your favorite playlist in Halo 3?

I thought it was the Arena playlist. Thanks for clarifying

I want them to have a baby. A perfect hybrid between the two. What is your favorite Halo to play SWAT on?

They should take the color pallet from games like Need for Speed and put them in Halo!

One of your pics isn't working anymore. And usually what I do is make a Matchmaking challenge for 200 headshots in 3 hours or 4 hours. Also, it seems they have lowered the amount of credits on the challenges.

Well glad it's not suicide o.o I didn't really get a chance to see you that often, so I hope you come back soon.

Why do you even have to ask if someone wants to talk about Halo?

Mint chocolate chip ice cream with some peanuts on top

All over his face. Then

I would be a Roc.

I actually made a list! Yayz! Thanks for everyone who voted for me

Right, don't really play that but sounds good to me. Mmkay. Didn't even get a chance to see those maps in the mix. I thought that countdown was popping up more often. Also, the big-party team matching. Noticed that too. It's weird when two parties of four people, all with mics, show up in the same lobby. Not sure if this is a good thing or not. SWEET MOTHER OF GOD YES! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! YAY! HIP HIP HOOORAY!!!! Now they just need to add new maps. Perhaps some from MLG or Slayer even. Huh, that might actually make arena playable... Hmm? How would that be relevant to... OHHHHH heh heh heh. Overall, like the update. They now need to work on adding more maps to SWAT. SWAT is one of this biggest playlists, all day round. It also happens to be where a bunch of the loyal halo fans have been congregating as of late, so if they make it unplayable... Thousands of people will be sad And mad >.>

In the newer consoles it's actually the "Red Dot of Death" or RDoD. They can be avoided in pretty much the same ways. And thank you

Did you know that every single giveaway prize is payed for by the mods themselves?

SOMEONE ignored my post entirely. Your number of achievements in Halo is bound to be a factor in other Halo releases. You can't say they are pointless, because there are still Halo games being made. No one can really say either way. Also, recon being cool is really just a matter of opinion. For me? Hayabusa <3

From what's been said by 343i, they are trying to integrate the multiplayer into the storyline, rather than it being a random stand-alone. This means that not only is the campaign going to have a story, but there is going to be a story for the people who just play multiplayer too! True, this means no playable Elites in multiplayer, but that doesn't rule them out for Halo 5 and Halo 6. People are forgetting that this is 343i's first Halo game under their own steam. They are bound to make a few mistakes, but are also bound to correct them in future releases. I myself am a Spartan player, always have been. I will miss seeing random elites in matchmaking though. Especially in Halo 3 SWAT. xD My suggestion to those who won't be buying Halo 4 is to rent it from Gamefly at least. At LEAST give it a shot. Don't condemn a game that has been good to you for over a decade before you even put it in your disc drive. If you end up liking it, then buy it. If not, oh well. No harm, no foul.

It would be amazing as DLC though. Every single Halo map that was ever in matchmaking remastered (as long as they don't make any changes except the graphics and maybe weapons) would be awesome. I remember when the Anniversary DLC came out, I almost drooled a bit. This would be at least 3x that!

You know what words you are and aren't allowed to post, and you know that tone is transferred through text. You also know that children visit this site, and that's why profanity of any kind is prohibited. Another thing you know is not to bash other members. Those have ALWAYS been the rules. You've been here since August, have over 150 posts, and you are trying to tell me that you don't know these things? That you are completely innocent? Right. Well good luck in your future endeavors. Whatever they may be. Doubt they will be here though.

Nearly halfway to Noble. Don't play as much as I used to though.

Lol that video is two years old from that post xD And that guy has long since been banned. There are cheaters, but fewer actual modders than you might expect. The normal cheating is afking or partying up with 6 "guests" and two actual players. And even these guys get banned or rank reset more often than not.
