Tank is one of Halo 3's oldest & most successful Forge mini games, and so its' map variants are mostly horribly outdated & lack today's effective methods. Of which is especially important on Rat's Nest, as there are only 16 large immovable objects & 8 Man-cannons to work with, giving you narrow options. This overabundance of old map variants leads to oh-so-many easily broken maps. Well, people looking to get out of the map in "Tank" have met their match. Without further ado I introduce my "Tank" map to you, the community. Enjoy.

Tank: In the minigame variant of "Tank" the humans must attempt to read the scorpion's movements successfully in order to evade it & get Last Man Standing points. The honor rules are no boarding(though easily thwarted by putting the fella up against a wall and shooting it) and no telling the others where the scorpion is.

Humans get 150% damage resistance & 100% Shields that don't recharge. Last Man Standing gets 200% damage resistance and 2x Overshield that doesn't recharge. Most Tank variant have normal shield settings, I find that doesn't work well, though. Hitting a guy just to get him no shields and have him run around a corner 5 times in a row gets quite tiring for the zombie. This altercation makes the flow of the game much faster and fluid, while still fair. Most people will survive the first shot. If you think Last Man Standing is abit much, 1 direct impact scorpion shot takes him past no shields, almost to death.

Killing the zombie results in -5 points. Last Man Standing results in 5 points. Last Man Standing decides the victor here.

I encourage booting people when cheating ensues. Telling the others where the scorpion is ruins the element of surprise. Doing things like rounding a corner full speed, thinking the scorpion was hot on your tail, only to find out you're going headfirst into the tank's line of sight is what gives "Tank" its fun factor. Don't think it's cute to tell everyone where the zombie is, it ruins the fun. That's the one thing that kills this gametype, other than getting outside the map, but that's eliminated in this map variant.

The tops of the Open Boxes and their decorations are just for show, not for camping. Any camper will find them littered with strings of fusion coils that, when shot, will chain with the entire base's fusion coils, resulting in certain death. It's either for decoration or for a death trap, don't misjudge it.

Proud to say that v1.2+ is 100% Cheat Proof.
