    FC:Rec4 Assault??

    Just found this (modded) gametype. Unfortunately you can't turn off throwing the bomb, but since you actually have to stand around arming it (unlike our previous Grifball-based variant) I don't think it damages the gametype too much. Thoughts?

    Saw it Se7ensins, thought it had some promise.

    I'm concerned about hosting modded gametypes on our file share, though. It would be stupid for Myth to get banned for it unless he finds it worth the risk and the gameplay is perfected (I haven't seen the changelog in a while).

    I would freaking love Neutral Assault.

    They've been letting modded gametypes slide thus far. I doubt they would start banning left and right for it out of nowhere. The worst I've heard of is that they would just remove the file from your file share.

    Throwing the bomb is always a no-go for me. It's bad enough in oddball Throwing the ball all the way to the objective is really gamechanging though.

    In its current form, it resembles Ricochet too much to entirely justify, unless there's ways we can change elements of it.

    For instance, what if it were more like Call of Duty?

    Don't flame me just yet, but what if you could get points for disarming?
    Like, you get 50 points for a score, but 20 points for a disarm?

    Also, under what circumstances can the round be ended in the one-sided version? If it ends after scoring, then can we also make it end by disarming?

    Things like this can change the way we play, so that perhaps ball-throwing alone doesn't make it too much like Oddball and Ricochet.

    I know

    I was thinking it could be a possible alternative to H. Ricochet. IMO that gametype doesn't play all that well (even with functional spawns), and having it on big maps would reduce the impact of throws.

    Alternatively, we could have the waypoint marker off, which would make the assaulting team have to decide between stealth (walking the bomb) and speed (throwing the bomb).

    Why can't 343i just give us back regular assault. It would be so much better if they would just give us a real gametype with a few minor updates to make it compatible with H4. If only they let us disable throwing the ball in ricochet...

    Actually...

    Does anyone know where to find the EU league settings? I look on TopMid.eu, but I cannot actually find a file share.

    Reason I ask if because they had an oddball variant that uses the Extraction arming device as the ball. You could walk around with it just like the ball, but you do not throw it. Not sure how, but perhaps they have similar mods for other ball games.

    EDIT: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/p...e&startIndex=0

    The file share containing the EU settings. I'm not at home with my Xbox this week, but perhaps you could see if that Oddball game is the one I described, Kaz?
