I was thinking about some cool multiplayer gametypes, and one of them i thought up might actually work. It's a king of the hill type game except the hill is a warthog. In order to score time you have to be inside the warthog, either the gunner passenger or driver seat. This would be lots of fun especially now that there is boarding. What do you think of my idea? What are some of your ideas?

Here's mine: It would be nice if there was a game type called "hunt the rabbit" and you have to find this guy and kill him with only shotguns or something and the rabbit can use any weapon and he wears bunny ears on his head and if you kill the rabbit you become him and the one with the longest time wins.

they have that, its called reverse tag (an oddball game). But i have to admit turning into a bunny and hoping around the map would be fun.

so whats ur point, it would still be fun wouldnt it

and i guess they would have to make the hog invulnerable like in halo 1. Or make it respawn when it dies altough that would be less fun.

It might also be fun in other vehicles but i think that a warthog would be the best

all those ideas are just modified versions of game types that already exist. theyre not in the slightest original. and in fact they are very easy to make if you use halo CE. in fact my friends and i made a mod of odd man out were you turn into a flood when your the odd one out.

How about..

Total War?

No respawn delay. Unlimited lives. there is a pile of weapons near your spawn point. You charge and every time u die iu immediatly respawn. Best kills to death ratio wins.

if uve ever played timesplitters 2 you can see that the people that made it were geniuses as they came up with piles of game types that no-one else has ever thought of.

Imagine if bungie puts the machete in the game then in a KOTH match seeing 16 people slaughter eachother at extremly close range. All their would be is blood and death just what I like in my games ;-). I think Bungie should have the option to go melee weapons only that would be sick for a change of pace on live.

a good idea for a game type would be infiltration. you have to sneek into the other players base and steal computer info. but once you get to the terminal it takes time to download it. and if ur detected, automated defenses are activated and the other team will run in and kick ur ass.

got a great game type, but not terrible.

5there will be a plasma sword so there should be atleast the equivalent on the human side i dont think it will be a machete(to tell the truth it would suck to see spartans with machete they would look like cubans in a tabacco field) but a combat knife would rock

how bout this: one guy in the game starts with an energy sword but is invisible(and the sword is invisible too) the only time he is visible is when he swings the sword. the sword guy can only use the sword until he is killed and the rest of the players can use whatever they want. no points are rewarded for killing teammates only for killing the sword guy or for killing as the sword guy. if you kill the sword guy you then become him. this should only be played in a close quarters map for effect.

That's still a type of gametype in Halo (the one talking about the sword guy) It's just like playing "IT". However, I'd LOVE to play a version of Timesplitters 2 gametype called assault I believe. You start at the far end of a map and are trying to get to a base at the other end to destroy it. There are respawning bots everywhere as you go and you hit checkpoints as you gain ground. Whenever you hit a checkpoint you spawn there when you die until you hit the next checkpoint. It was so much fun and I'd love to take on endless bots like that in Halo 2

that assault one is a gametype in:wolfenstein, jedi academy, unreal 2k4 among others.
since their are so many gametypes just about anything you can think of would be a variation of another gametype. but i think they should put assault mode in halo 2 also

yeah ive played timesplitters on gamecube and the multiplayer is extremely original, but just because my warthog idea isnt totally original doesnt mean it wouldnt be fun. Dobber, i too love assualt on ts2, it pwns.

Alot of these posts are more about cool options u could put into the already existing gametypes which shows that new gametypes arent nessecarilly needed just new and cool options.

Another thing that alot of people have mentioned is a small map. I think bungie should include a map like derelict except make it 1 floor with no cover. THis would open up endless more possibilities for gametypes.

And someone else mentioned a kill to death ratio game. That would be pwnage!

Ok, you want an original gametype? I posted about this idea a while back but didnt get many replies:

A Gauntlet style game where there is a shooter (or shooters) in a heavily defended position at one end of a field full of cover. The runner starts at the other end and has to make it to the base to score. At certain points on the field are weapons for the runner to use to try and take out the shooters (i.e. Rocket launchers with one round or fuel rod guns with enough juice for one or two shots) These would be used to take down the defenses and make hitting the shooter easier.

Anyways we got the idea from a way we found to play Halo MP. Have one person stand on big base in Hang em High looking down at the invisibility. The runner starts at the invisibility (but cant use it). The shooter can only use a plasma pistol and the runner can only use a plasma pistol or plasma rifle. The runner has to either kill the shooter or make it into the base. The shooter only has to hit the runner with one plasma shot. Running through the gauntlet of pillars to make it to the base is a lot of fun.

If you still dont understand just think of American Gladiators. The gauntlet style game on that show. Try it before you flame me, it's a lot of fun.
