Share your own game rules you have made up that are not the way the game was originally meant to be played.

One that I remember is in “Monster Jam” for the Nintendo Wii, there is no free roam but you can play a “destruction mode” that has a time limit but works good enough. There is a map where you can go up on a roof and the goal is to push the other ones down being the last one standing when the time hits 0. That’s it. It was inspired by an flash game with the title “one must fall” I believe.

We played this a lot. Its funny how you only need a “interesting” physics engine for a game to be fun.

Demolition Derby in Halo.

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

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

Blood Gulch, obviously

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
