ANTLION DEFENCE

MAP:KLICK

GAMETYPE: YOU NEED THIS TOO

Remember that awesome part from Half life 2, episode 2 where you had to hold off a huge-ass, ever more difficult wave of Antlions?

Well good news! I just saved a whole bunch of - nah, I just remade the shit out of that part for halo! Instead of a lone man with an abnormally intense lust for crowbar, though, you get a bunch of friends and a variety of guns. And some other little twists.

START OF ROUND

You start in the middle of this. BR, magnums and shotguns on the left, AR and SMG on the right.

The start of the round begins with the humans plopped in the middle of a base of sorts. You have no radar, 110% speed, 150% gravity, and a heart of gold. Weapons are situated to the immediate left and right of you, along with a small cache of grenades. Be sure to grab these quick because you've only got 30 seconds before the Antlion onslaught begins. These weapons are constantly on respawn, so whenever you run low on ammo, you can rush back here to grab some more ammo. Don't camp here though! Shield doors litter the area, making it near impossible to survive more than a few seconds. The spot you'll really be defending is here:

This is where you'll hold out.

This tunnel is the first to open.

This opens next...

And, you guessed it, this opens last.

Up here you'll find three tunnels ready to funnel an epic hoarde of Antlions your way. After 30 seconds, Antlions will start streaming through the lefthand tunnel. 60 seconds after that, the middle tunnel will open, and 60 seconds after that, the righthand tunnel will open. A key feature up here are the two trip mine boxes. These trip mines are on 30 second respawn, so use them to their full extent (As in make Antlions blow up good). And speaking of Antlions...

The Antlions

The Antlions spawn up in the skybubble, where teleporters wait to take them to the tunnels. They come in three classes for your enjoyment: The soldier, minion, and Queen. 50% of the party will start as the Antlions. Here's a brief description for each:

Soldier

The main type of Antlion you'll see. They have 90% damage resistance, normal shields, and 90% speed. Use the speed to your advantage to keep these at bay.

Minion

Once your comrades start falling to the Soldiers, you'll see the Minions come your way. They are the same as the Soldiers, except for the 50% damage resistance. They don't pose as much of a threat as the Soldiers.

Queen

Ah, the Queen. Once every so often (let's say a minute), a Queen will look around and say " You guys suck ass at this. Let me show you how it's done!" The queen, alongside a shiny gold goldness, has a triple overshield and 150% damage resistance. However, due to her lifestyle of champagne and chocolates, she's a fair amount slower than the others. And for some reason which can't be reasonably explained, she has a waypoint over her head. Expect a competent group of Antlions to wait for her to waddle her fat ass over to the teleporter, than go in as a huge group.

TIPS

Humans
- Don't overlap trip mines. One is enough to kill in the immediate area and de-shield those somewhat close to it. However, if you know a queen is coming, then an overlap is good.
- Don't move around so damn much. The less shots that ping off your teammate's shoulder, the more go into Antlion flesh.
- Organise your ammo runs, or at least shout it out so you don't have everyone go at the same time. 1-2 should be down in the ammo area at most.
- To stall an ammo run in the beggining, juggle a couple of SMG's to the first tunnel.

Antlions
- At the begginning, send one guy out to "set off" the trip mines, followed by the rest
- When a Queen approaches, send a couple guys in first, followed immediately by the Queen/ the rest.
-When multiple tunnels open, mix up the order/amount you go in. A big group to one tunnel, followed by one to the other may catch a group off- guard.
-Jumping in the middle tunnel can give you a small speed boost

Oh, and here's a rough idea of what to expect when playing this. At first:

So the humans was all like "Lol we teh own rite guyz?"

And so the Antlions was all like "New zombie! New zombie!" OOOOOOH SNAP!
