Halo 4 Incoming Splasers!

[McJoeJoeJoe]

 

This Minigame is called "Incoming Splasers!" and was created because of my adoration for the Spartan Laser.

This map draws inspiration from the minigames "Duck Hunt" and Reach's "Border Patrol" but this utilizes a twist.

A Spartan Laser.

What most of you are probably thinking of is the obvious downside to this weapon: Slow firing rate, poor accuracy, four charges. But au contaire, thereis a solution.

There exists a glitch where when an individual with an empty Laser steps into a Trait Zone with Bottomless Clip activated, said Laser will begin to fire in semi-rapid bursts.

Indefinitely.

So yeah it's a fun glitch that makes this gametype tons of fun. And now for a minor walkthrough.

 

The single human with the Spartan Laser will start off in a long tunnel with four barricades set up.

This is in part to allow the Flood to get onto the course and in part to empty the Laser. Your melee damage is 0% and you cannot jump so you are forced to use your Spartan Laser to bypass the barricades. That part is imperative.

 

IF YOU GET ONTO THE BALCONY BEFORE YOU USE ALL OF YOUR AMMO, YOU WILL HAVE TO CHARGE THE LASER REPEATEDLY. 

 

Also, not getting past the barricades and using all for charges of the laser (i.e. missing the pallet for some reason) will get you stuck until the Flood come. I don't know how this could happen unless you were screwing around.

 

The human will then be on the balcony area which overlooks most of the course.

 

The course being: 

And there are 8 different criss-crossing pathways (with varying degrees of difficulty and protection) you can take to reach the balcony site.

 

The Flood start out in Impact's big room and have the option to choose from either a Mongoose or a Ghost. 

 

All areas are accessible with both the Ghost and the Mongoose and all areas visible from the balcony are susceptible to Laser fire.  Up to 16 people can play on this map and since the Flood have waypoints, you are going to need as many as possible to overwhelm the Laser Wielder. I recommend at least 9.

 

You can see there that there is a one-way shield here to keep the human from retreating into the tunnel. If the human never leaves the tunnel in the first place, the Flood can access it from above by jumping on top of the tunnel through a second one-way shield. 

 

In testing this with other people, the greatest difficulty for the Last Man Standing is keeping up with all of the Flood. The course branches out in a total of 8 different pathways making it easy for the Human to be watching one part of the course while several Flood slip by on another portion. 

The greatest difficulty for the Flood is the unfrigginbelieveably high fire rate of the Splaser. Aside from that, you really just need to know how to operate a vehicle. 

 

 

So have fun on this crazy fun map and give feedback please.

I love the Spartan Laser and I love this minigame. Very cool! I'll have to show this to some of our Event staff, hopefully if there are any bugs they can be resolved quickly, because I am loving what I'm seeing.

 

Keep up the good work!

This looks amazing, I really want to play this!  It looks so incredibly epic and cool and nervewracking!
