17 Great Ways to Have Fun in Halo Custom Games

10. Doom Flags

2 Flag CTF, 4-12 Players Recommended, Flag Touch-Return and 15 Second Reset

My personal favourite entry on this list, Doom Flags is a game type which is hugely rewarding if you have two teams with a bit of experience under their belt. It€™s best played on a Lockout variant (I€™d recommend downloading a player-made replica if your game doesn€™t have Lockout/Blackout etc), and there should be 4 or 6 rounds. All players spawn with grenades, a sniper rifle as a primary weapon and a battle rifle as a secondary. You can also experiment with power-ups if you want, but I€™d recommend keeping it relatively unadulterated. This variant is a fantastic way to practise your sniping and no-scoping skills. Counter-intuitively, it€™s not about staying put and camping, you€™ll need to move fast and have a very quick trigger finger. There are a few different routes to take, and while going over the top of the map is faster, you€™ll also be more exposed to sniper fire.

9. Survivor

Slayer, 4-16 Players Recommended, No Vehicles

Basically a swat variant, Survivor entails 1 shot kills but with only 1 life per player per round. You get a battle rifle and grenades with which to defend yourself, and this can create incredibly tense games as you remain, crouched and stationary, waiting for your opponent to make the first move. Personally I always used to love playing this on Zanzibar, but it works well with almost any map. Most people will usually rush for the sniper, but the wise player will wait at a distance, ready to gun down anyone who might try to take it.

8. Cops and Robbers

Zombie, 4-16 Players Recommended

Another fan favourite, Cops and Robbers relies to a large extent on the players in your party following the game rules. The robbers spawn within a player-made €˜prison€™ and the cops (zombies) have to keep them in there, while allowing them to move around. Cops are only allowed to kill the robbers if they break the rules, however, while the robbers should try to escape or assassinate the cops without getting shot. This game type can be really absorbing if everyone takes it seriously, but I wouldn€™t recommend playing with a large group of people you don€™t know well.
