Cat N' Mouse

Cat N' Mouse
Created by TrueDarkFusion & TheYavimayan


Cat N' Mouse was designed after the classic Cat N' Mouse gametype from Halo 2 that many of us have come to enjoy. Well we have managed to create the gametype along with a map which can be played without the use of the honor system. We created "jails" in the opposing bases in which each of the two Cats (for which we used zombies in the infection gametype) spawn. There is a teleporter room that can be seen as being blocked out through the bars in the room. At the 20 second mark pre-set fusion cores spring the jail and the cat is freed. The time delay for freeing the cat is setup in order to give the time for the mice to spread out around the map. Then at the 30 second mark the Cat's wraith will spawn on the warthog pad. The timing between when the Cats are freed and the wraith spawn is setup so a mouse doesn't wait to try to steal the wraith. This setup guarantees the Cats to retrieve their wraiths.

At this point the game plays out as it did on Halo 2. At the beginning of each round the mice spawn where the radio tower is usually located by a line of mongooses. The goal of the mice is to drive around the map and avoid the Cats who in turn are trying to find the mice and destroy them with their wraiths. It is hard for the mice to win, but I have personally done it before, and it is rewarding. May the best stunt driver win!

Re: Cat N' Mouse

I played this map the other night, very fun. Did you happen to fix the bug where Cottage got into the jail? When I played this I had one of my favortie moments too. A certain someone ^^^ got the Wraith stuck. (I don't mean a grenade stick) Ha, sorry but that will always be my first impression of you Yavi.


Shit. It happens.

Re: Cat N' Mouse

Yes we fixed it. That's why we test our maps for a couple of days before release. ;)

Re: Cat N' Mouse

I don't remember this from Halo 2, was it created recently over there? I haven't played Halo 2 for a while, anyways it's a pretty fun map though. Only problem I see is that a "mouse" can get a wraith if he's fast enough. If you setup a new jail, possibly on a different map, so that the wraiths would also spawn in the jail and then they would use it to get out once it spawns, I think it would work better.

Even if a Mouse steals a wraith though, it can't harm either Cat. The cats can't be killed (I think). However if the mice get one or even BOTH of the wraiths that could create quite a nuisance.

Re: Cat N' Mouse

I have found that this game works better with Choppers on Sandtrap. This is mostly due to the fact that it is much more challenging to splatter vehicles with a Wraith unless they are pinned against a wall. Choppers have adequate speed to keep up with Mongeese to a point, then when under one minute, the shots are not over powered, but instead provide for an exciting finish in which the (usually) Last Man Standing has a frantic flee for his life.

Re: Cat N' Mouse

We tried choppers...it was terrible...since we cannot control the honor rule of the game...people just shot the mongeese(?) and killed them very quickly...the wraith is supposed to be slow so the mice have a chance....o and the mice have only won one game in all of them that we played

Re: Cat N' Mouse

I think it worked so well for me because I pretty much only play with my fellow Sovereign Guard members, so there is an innate honor rule.

But how would the honor rule be different for Wraiths? They can still shoot, and often.
