EDIT: To clear up confusion, this IS GodlyPerfection's gametype. I'd said so on XForgery in response to somebody, but I had not been so clear here (bouncing between forums burns me out). Thank him for the genius idea, not me. I figured people would look at the file, the comment I had posted, and the tab on the file that says 'Created by' with his name. Less people do this than I had thought. Godly and I have since reconciled and cleared the air between us (he's apparently banned here so I'll post his apology from XF here for him).

(Halo Tactics) Beachhead is the first map for the gametype known as Halo Tactics. The map is very simple, two sides split down the middle by a barrier which, due to the gametype, cannot be jumped over. Each side sports symmetric rocks, sandbags and bulkheads, which offers just barely enough cover for how the game functions.

The gametype is a King of the Hill variant in which the hill switches between each side of the map every three seconds. During the three seconds in which your team is in the hill, you can move, deal damage, take cover, or plan out your next attack. While you are not in the hill, your team is frozen in place, unable to deal damage, and is at the mercy of the other team's attacks. It's a turn-based, strategic game of Halo in which the objective is to simply eliminate the other team (respawning is off) before they can do the same to you. Damage has been lowered, players have been beefed up, so you'll be able to take plenty (but not too many) hits from the other team. DMRs and Magnums deal a lot of damage, but it takes a lot of headshots to actually kill. It's best to work with your team in this to coordinate your fire, and eliminate the opposition. It's three five-minute rounds until it's over (longest game I've seen so far is 9 minutes, games seem to hang around 5-7). This gametype is best played with at least eight people, and isn't a typical gametype, but one that can be enjoyed if you can stand the sound of 'hill moved, hill control' every second of the game... Trust me, if I could switch the hill alerts off, I would.

Player may choose between three loadouts.

Recon: DMR, Assault Rifle, Sprint, Frag x1
Grenadier: Assault Rifle, Evade, Frags x4
Infiltrator: DMR, Magnum, Active Camo, Frag x1

Back to the map. Included on this map is a small 'armory' and a single health pack (for each side of the map). The health pack will respawn only upon a new round, so use it wisely. When a teammate needs to heal because they have one bar of health, don't take a pack when you're only scratched. Weapons included are one DMR, one Magnum, and one Assault Rifle. The DMR and AR spawn every minute, allowing for ammo refills and weapon swaps. Magnums spawn every 15 seconds to allow players to always have at least a magnum. A grenade launcher and a turret are also available for each team, but they don't respawn until the round is over.

Here are some screenshots of some of the games:

A red team member evades into the map, ready to fire.

Red team fires on a barricaded blue team during their turn.

The same situation, but from the Red side of the map.

Blue team pops out of cover to attack the reds.

A blue team member sprints to cover just as the red team's turn ends.

The reds bunker down as grenades sail in...

The blue's turn ends, and I get asploded.

Red team suffers a casualty just as their turn begins.

Hope you all have fun with the gametype and map! See if you can come up with your own maps for the gametype if you liked it enough, enjoy!
