This gametype could be a space battle between humans and covenant. The goal is to destroy the other teams' ship. People can either try to board the ship with a bomb carrier (guy with a bomb strapped to him) and destroy the ship by playing suicide bomber once you reach the brig, or just take out the weapons of the ship, allowing the other ship to decimate it as it wishes. the last team with a ship wins.

The covenant shoud have a team of elites on a Covie ship, and the spartans should control the human ship. Each team tries to defend their ship, but once one team makes it to the other teams' brig and plants the bomb, the game is over. (Each team may only have one bomb carrier at a time, and the bomb carrier is slow due to its massive weight and therefore cannot attack.) Or you can destroy their base by slowly taking out the weapons on the ship by using banshees and the human banshees (if there are any human banshees) Once all the weapons of a ship are deactivated, the ship is vulnerable to attack, so the ship with weapons automatically annhililates it with the weapons.

there could be multiple ships of each kind, but the last race with a ship surviving is the winner.

while this is going on, each ship is taking fire from the other ship(s), and if someone is unlucky enough to be in the way of the attack, he gets destroyed.

It would be funny to see someone flying a banshee and then BOOM! just out of nowhere get blasted by a giant plasma wave.

[color=gold] you know what would be cool is if the level is made up of two big ships like boarding action except you can go to each other ship either by teleport or boarding tunnels [/color]

I like the boarding and capturing the enemy ship idea, but i don't like trying to take out the other team's weapons and stuff. The action should mostly be on foot or banshee/vehicle. Not huge ships. I think that would detract from gameplay and the overall halo-ness.

i think a kicck ass game type would be the survival type maps, where everyone teams up on one team and has to face off waves of (AI) covies from a fotified position, kinda like in UT2k4 or alien vs predator.
Vehicles included, winner would either be the last person alive or the person with the most kills (the waves of enemies wouldnt stop). I would absolutly love the "I may b screwed but im not going down without a fight, we're fighting to the last man".

I guess there'd be a limit on lives, or just one life. Either way, with a decent amount of health packs lying around.

I honestly think this would own.



As for your idea, sounds decent but too big for 16 players. Would be too many ppl on turrets mb.

Do you mean bridge, because what's the purpose of blowing up the holding cells?

i think this gametype would really need some jetpac style action, which they should definatly implement talk about fun, they could even make it balanced by giving you fuel and also making you jetpac overheat if you fired it for two long, that would besick. id so totaly hold down my freinds jetpac button just to see him explode.
