akkenny

Here's a guy with an annoying voice who goes through a lot of the details of custom games on the XBox. I'd have presumed it's the same on both consoles but guess you'll find out soon!

Wasn't he in Southpark?



Good idea man, I was thinking the same, was going to wait till after the wager match competition and the other match was done.

That zombies idea was great fun on Mw2. Wish I had a screen grab or video of the time it was 15 vs me on Wasteland on the roof.

Was thinking maybe doing a cowboys and indians game. Shotguns for all (no spas) and pistols (defo no cz75/ maybe no python w/speed reloader) for cowboys and crossbow & tomahawks for indians. Maybe m14 w/ no sights for cowboys if they need it.

• When you're tomahawked you're on the indians team so there is fewer and fewer cowboys. If shotguns are too powerful then maybe just stick with pistols but since the shotgun has little range it might be ok to use.
• Maybe start with 2 indians depending on how good they are with the tomahawk. If a cowboy is knived then they count as being tomahawked.
• If you're stuck with an arrow and the explosive kills someone else then they count as being t-hawked so they join the injuns but the person stuck with the arrow isn't.
• Also try having the cowboys on the radar and the indians off it (if it's possible) so the indians can do sneak attacks. Ghost Pro for all indians is another possibility.
• Healthwise we could make it normal health so that pistols aren't one shot-one kill. Also maybe make indians faster so they can get back into the action quickly.
• Jungle might be good but since the rock point spawn is easily defendable it might be a camp fest unless the tomahawkers get their range. Maybe make it so the last alive gets to go up on the rock only?
• Grid or summit are wide open and should stop campers and keep it fast paced. I doubt nuketown would work, but it could be a laff to try.
• Last stand pro might be alright to use for cowboys as the reviving people could be funny. Marathon Pro for Indians. Sleight of hand might be needed for shotguns but we could test it to see what works and what doesn't.

I've no idea how this would play out or if it needs tweaking/overhauling so we'll just have to play test it and see if we can get it fair on both sides. All suggestions welcome.

There is a zombie mode mentioned towards the bottom also. We could use that as a jump off point maybe.

good idea one or two things i would change, instead of 2 indians defo one starting and maybe leave the radar on at all times, if you remember when we played zombies last time it was one starting off that could only knife against the other 15 who had all weapons and claymores and frags and the zombies won every match bar one, instead of giving the indians some slight advantage in this game i think the advantage should be going for the cowboys, if people are camping at a high point like on wasteland the indians with tomahawks and crossbows have the advantage here, like the high point on jungle can still be hit at a long distance so i think radar on all the time would be good
last stand for cowboys i cant see working as a crossbow or tomo will kill you instantly.

We played our own custom games coming up towards the release of BO.

Zombies was a private game where one person started as a Zombie (MLC with tac knife, stuns and smoke - could only knife and use equipment), everyone else could use whatever they wanted.
As soon as you were stabbed you became a zombie too and changed sides!
First person stabbed was the zombie in the next game.
We usually played it on Scrapyard but we tried it on Wasteland a few times.

We also played James Bond on Estate and a few others.

How do you do that ?
Does it require hacking ?

Yeah was just thinking that since tomahawk is a one-use weapon and you're not likely to retrieve it easily, they might need a hand (depending on skill with a tomahawk; not everyone is pro like you).

Agree with you on the last stand, was thinking it might be funny to have but it would be difficult to include it and for it to be any use.

You or anyone else on live later for a playtest and see how it'll work?

Nope just set up a private lobby and play together with certain rules in place. For zombies in MW2 each person had a zombie class with certain perks and could only knife and a human class with certain weapons/perks.

As a zombie kills a human, they become a zombie so it goes from 1 zombie vs 11 humans to 2 vs 10, 3 vs 9, etc. as more humans become zombies.

Only difficult thing was to make sure people knew which side they were on at the start, ie zombies choose top, eg spetnatz and humans choose bottom eg op40.

anybody up for playing james bond some time over the weekend
