Just Wondering what everyone else thinks.

Personally, I want to see a huge base with separate sections within and it would have a land vehicle bay/vehicle repair station, map/briefing/tactical information room(by tactical information i mean like enemy location within radar range including if it is an enemy soldier, aircraft, or landcraft), airport/aircraft repair center, hospital area, weapons armory, intercom system that a commander could use to talk to give a message through out the entire base, and defensible positions(a pillboxes, turrets, a gate, guntowers, and possibly trenches. All within the walls of a huge base.

The enemy would be able to destroy the radar, intercom speakers, gate, and other important things, but a person could repair them in a substantial amount of time.

In between the bases there could be dense jungle, vast plains, or a jungle environment.

You could play attack and defend, destroy the enemy's base, and a host of other gametypes.

The base would also befit its owners, a human base would be like the Pillar of Autumn and a covanent base would be like the Truth and Reconcilliation.

This is not completely original, someone mentioned battleships on another thread. Just so I am not accused of taking the credit for someone elses work.
I would like to see a large map in which there are two battleships. One Covenant, one human. Each will have aircraft and appropriate antiaircraft and personell turrets. The gametype will be assault, a new Halo 2 gametype for those of you who don't know. You and your team mates will either destroy the enemy using the planes or you can walk on the bottom of the ocean to the other ship and plant the explosive. I think this would be an awesome game. : )

Ignore these four words.

I think a cool game type would be where you start in a vehicle and you cant leave.

My Ideal game type:

Let me paint a picture for you...

Your systems are turned on when a red alert in the base has been sounded. The main convenant battle force has been spotted on the wester side of the base approaching at high velocity. Outside the base it is pandemonium as marines take up the AA turrets to slow the spproching missles and enemy air squads. You and your team mates (who have also been awoken) are being scrambles to the vehicle docking bay, and you hop into a warthog. Three other of your sparten friends jump into the sideseat and the troop carrier on the back (new to halo 2) and you drive off to meet the Covenant on a terrestrial forest. The forest in dense around you and you can hardly see 30 feet in either direction, when suddenly a covenant armada appear crashing out of the foliage to your right and you and your team mates decide to take them be surprise. You use the old abandoned road a little along the path as a central ambush spot. the over hanging cliff precipice has become worn down and weak over the ages. As the covenant scouts draw closer, your friend to the left of you pulls out the sniper rifle he has been packing and silently removes the pilots from their ghosts. Another of your friends down on the other side of the jungle pulls out his rocket launcher and readys the aim onto the over hanging pass. As the first of the covenant transports enters the area directly underneath the cliff wall, you hear several rockets launch and the avalanch of debris comes crashing down onto the armada.

This is just a scenario from my ideal map but i love the whole idea of sqaud teamwork. Also, i would like the ability to be a wokr horse (troop carrier) because i love the feeling of being able to pull out at the last second or pick someone up and just save their life...

My game type... would be great...

You start out with you (and friends at your home, or on XBL) and you start with what ever you give your self (vehicles, grenades, weapons, etc) and you must use all of it in order to stop an infinite wave of covenant (any species or all of them) from entering your base! (or killing you!) It would be impossible to win, but you can see how long you can last (or you could even set a time limit to when the wave stops, or how big the wave of covenant is!) In my oppinion, that would be awesome!

I would like an secnario were its basicly survial of the fittest. You have a bace stacked with all the vehicals, turrets, ammo you need. The only trick is that you have 1 life and there are no healthpacks. So you basicly sit and try to endure wave after wave of baddies until all of your teamates and you die. Then they could post scores online that would be around 10-20 minutes. I think it would be quite fun

Mine would be a CTF in a human city on each far end is a VERY tall sky scraper (tallest of them all) and in each on the 3rd to top floor is the flag, on the roof are sniper rifles and turrets as well as hella-pads for air craft and under it is a parking garage for ground vehicles which has shade turrets (covey turrets for the uneducated). Then on every few floors would be a human turret in a window.

dude i was going to post this up mine would be a race everyone will start out withh pistols and each person would have a special lane and you would have to get to the top where a telepoter would take you to a differnt location and heres the catch water flows up fast and in the water is yes sharks jaws has indeed returned so it would be a cool level for races only and survival matches both seem the same though

That is an awesome idea i'd love to play a map like that. It would be like the Pillar of Autumn once one team managed to breach the other's ship's hull. Also a realistic vacuum effect when a room someone is in has the wall between the ship and space breached would be amazing.

Great idea man.
