I heard this a very LONG time ago. Its a rumour about halo2 and I wanted to know if any of you guys also heard it.

Ok, theres apparently (according to the rumour) going to be an online mode called "battleground:halo" which pits Human SPARTANs against covenant ELITEs. Not the basic modes though...

(This is where I think there may be a hint of truth seeing as bungie confirmed spartan-elite multiplayer at e3 and this rumour was like months before it was even confirmed! I know the FAQ said that it was going to be humans vs. covies but the fact that this rumour only mentioned SPARTANS vs. ELITES made me think.)

Anyway the game takes place on modified campaign maps and you can also call in air support from Pelican or Phantom dropships (maybe airstrike their base and such)

Ok now for the discussion....has anyone heard this? If so do you think theres any truth to it or what? I'll set up a poll too.

Battleground: Halo is a website. And if it is true, I have never heard of it.

I know its a website but thats also what the rumour called this game mode.

Oh yeah I decided to look on the FAQ and also saw this

In addition to these classics (talking about game modes) we have some big plans for Live that we'll reveal a little later."

Perhaps this may be a "big plan" I dont know...I think it is just a rumour though. However a "big plan" could refer to anything be it clan support etc.

I haven't heard the rumor, but I have spouted off a similar idea on this forum, and some others I think, a while back. Kind of a Halo2 fantasy of mine (basically being able to play an online war [like PlanetSide but without sucking]).

I voted maybe, but I'd say it's VERY unlikely at best.

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

It's old. And it SUCKS. 24 players in a level 5 times the size of any single player campaign in the original? Sounds lonely.

Yeah I doubt it seeing as I cannot see how the air support would work...

I never said it was 5 times the size as a halo levels! I said "BASED" on it. Your interpretation must be a little off....

Why did you make this thread? Seriously?
