Halo: Reach Discussion

[Futzy]

All of those variant settings you see in Reach are defined by the game variant itself. Variants are no longer defined explicitly by the engine like in Halo 3 and earlier, but are instead scripted (in a sense). The designers expose the settings which can be tweaked and consumed by the variant's implementation. Slayer, CTF, Grifball, etc. They're all defined and implemented outside the engine code.

So yeah, Reach out does Halo 3's settings by a long shot, tyvm.

That doesn't mean a thing unless we can actually change them ourselves. What they actually give us is less than what they gave us before in each gametype separately.

e: even NoF admitted this at some point, but he is adding features that were lost and more back into the game
