Gametype details from the creator
The Assault team (The army of X3F tipsters) starts off at the beach where the bomb (the juicy news), 2 warthogs (one of each variant) and 2 mongeese (?) spawn. The tipsters must make their way up the hill and over the wall through many methods, including getting past some crates and going through the pipe or getting past the same crates but going directly through the base. A third option becomes available at the 3 minute mark. At this point, a stack of crates will appear at the edge of the wall creating easy platforms to jump on. once over the wall, the door switch can be flicked to allow vehicle access in the base. The bomb must be taken to Fanboy Towers (which only seems to have one floor) and uploaded to the internet via the laptop (conveniently placed next to the bomb target). There is a 10 second delay (which represents the amount of time Dustin takes to type up an article and moan about not having the Maybe Next Time Buddy achievement) and then the bomb explodes (which represents an internet meltdown and billions of people flocking to X3F).

Map details from the creator
X3F Wars is a reworked version of High Grounds with an initial bias which becomes evened out during the course of the game. It has a vehicles located at each end of the map for team games and many weapons scattered about. All weapons and vehicles in the base are Brute, Covenant or Forerunner designed and all of the weapons and vehicles at the beach are man made. In the middle of the map, where most of the fighting takes place, contains only grenades and equipment so make sure you stock up on supplies before venturing out into the wild. The first thing you will notice when going into your first game on X3F Wars is that the bunker and most of the main building in the base is blocked off in order to keep gameplay focused on the center of the map. There are many hidden weapons and other surprises to be found on X3F Wars, use them to your advantage.
