► How it all started
The remake was first started just a little over a year ago in January 2011 out of the desire to play such a fun mini-game. However, only problem was, it was the era of Reach, not Halo 3 and remakes of this were bound to come in short supply so I set out to do it myself. Later rather then sooner through 3 rebuilds and constant additions and removals from the map and gametype, I'm finally proud to present the (hopefully) final version.

► How to play

Hold your board vehicle button to board your transportation. If you're the driver, drive. If you're the gunner, just hang on. After reaching the territory, proceed to jump out.

After jumping out of your Warthog (if you successfully land), start shooting anything that is not your team. (Your teammates wont be happy if you shoot them off too.)

After all enemies have been shoved off the platform (or assassinated), proceed to capture the territory. It is a 10 second capture so just be patient. Victory will come soon enough.

► What's different
• With this being a remake in Reach, there were going to be a few things that didn't transfer over well, or just things that I personally didn't want transfer over for aesthetic reasons. The most important change had to have been removing the Gravity Hammers from the game. Game after game after game, they just would not work out as intended. There was no real gravity bubble effect that was needed for it to preform the same way, but luckily there was a work-around. I had discovered that with Gravity Hammers and even Golf Clubs out of the equation, the Concussion Rifle produced the effect required for this gametype to work correctly and was a perfectly acceptable substitute.
• As for the aesthetic changes, from the title picture, you can probably guess that there are no viewing boxes or any of the decoration that is present in the Halo 3 version. For the viewing boxes, I had tried many different approaches, but none of them seemed good enough for the map and would have been difficult to implement in the first place without sacrificing anything. To work around that, I simply set the respawn timer to 3 minutes so the round will not end when everyone is dead.

► The Arena
The Arena is still your basic circular platform, but not quite as large as the Halo 3 version. It still contains your neutral territory encompassing the entire ring.

► The Spawn Area
The game starts off with you around your vehicle. If you remember, the passenger seat was taken, but because there's no gravity hammer, the concussion rifle could become very annoying if it was left to be used before you get to the platform. So for this, the second player is forced to only ride gunner. Keep in mind, even if your team is a player down, 1 player will always spawn as the driver due to the initial spawn being set there and respawn being set for the gunner.
