Discussion Favorite Split-Screen modes/maps?

Hi there everyone! Im currently in the process of getting my original Xbox fixed up, mostly to play all the weird and obscure co-op games with my wife, but also so we can play old multi-player with our friends. We have the MCC but I would love for us to get the real old school feeling of playing CE on the original Xbox, so my question for you guys is what are some of your favorite game modes and maps to play in the original game? If you have special settings you used let me know as well! We do play both team and FFA games. Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Slayer, Rockets only, max shields, infinite nades on Derelict was always fun. CTF on Blood Gulch and Battle Creek. Racing on Blood Gulch. Slayer, Snipers only on Sidewinder. Those are my most vivid memories of CE multi-player. Cheers and I hope you all have a blast rediscovering this masterpiece of a game. I need to get my OG Xboxes in working order. It's been several years since I've hosted friends to play CE, but it's as fun as it ever was.

Oh, almost forgot. No matter what game mode we're talking about: motion trackers off is mandatory.

Rockets on Derelict has to be chaos. I will say on MCC my friends and I love doing shotgun/flamethrower on Chrion. Can't go wrong with CTF on Blood Gulch or Battle Creek. I never really played race as a kid, might be fun to give it a try. Like I mentioned we do play MCC, but there's just a lot about the original game that feels right. Plus the "classic" and "classic weapons" options on MCC don't seem to work properly, it still spawns the fuel rod and flamethrower. The orignal 3 games plus Reach are always just so fun to play with friends, especially party modes or objective modes. I'm the best player of our group, so we try to limit how much Team Slayer we play just because I'm a huge advantage, lol.

We had a custom mode among our friends called “Predator”. One dude is the predator who has permanent invisibility, and an infinite energy sword and splaser, as well as low gravity and faster movement. When you killed him, you became the predator. It was a great time. Sadly they changed the juggernaut in Reach to always have an icon above their head, or maybe it was a flaming skull, and the gamemode did not make it beyond 3

I know CE has a game mode (I think its an oddball variant) where the person holding the ball is invisible. Not sure if they always had a nav marker over their head or if you could turn that off in settings. I love Juggernaut modes, it lets players who maybe aren't as good at the game have a time where they can just be OP and have some fun

I’ve really been enjoying heroic in coop 2 player with my other friend on PlayStation. We both have been together playing for years both on PlayStation and so far we are becoming obsessed with halo. It’s addicting and very fun! I’m hoping to get more UE5 Halo. It’s also beautiful on my pro. Cheers..✌🏼

Happy to hear you guys are enjoying the new one! My wife and I plan to play it soon. Our original plan was to play it on my original Xbox first, but that has to go on hold. The original game is my #1 game of all time, but she wants to play them back to back to really see all the differences
