In the trailer for Reach, we were told that ODST will come with an invitation to the Reach multiplayer beta.

What do you want to have in the multiplayer? Halo 1 pistol? Spectre?

You must lay a sacrifice on the almighty altar of FRAG. It demands you get 4 kills with 1 laser shot.
Only then will the gods be appeased.

1) Weapon Attachments

I was thinking weapon attachments would be a great addition to Halo. You would press right on the d-pad to add the attachment and again to take it away. For example maybe the B.R. could be single shot, semi automatic, have pretty good power, and have quick rate of fire. And its attachment would make it 3 shot burst, give it the scope, and increase its range.



Attachments wouldn't nessesarily make weapons better. The B.R. without the attachment would just be more effective at a closer range. For example one player has a B.R. without the attachment and one has the attachment. At a closer range the player without the attachment has the advantage becuase the B.R. is semi automatic . And at longer range the B.R. player with the attachment would have the advantage because the attachment makes it more accurate. Weapons don't come with attachments so players will fight for them just like weapons and equipment. There can be a maximum of 2 types of attachments for each weapon. Probably best if only a few weapons have attachments. Dual wieldable weapons won't have attachments.

2) Massive Multiplayer

I know it seems like a rip off of MAG. I didn't know that untilsomeone told me in a thread. It's still a cool addition though.

There would be 8 squads on each 200 player team. In each squad 25 people. Five of those people are the squad leaders for your squad. So there are 40 squad leaders on each 200 player team. You and your squadmates waypoints are purple. Your squadleaders waypoints are blue. Other players who are on your team, but not in your squad waypoints are white.The squad leaders can press down on the d-pad to request vehicle pick up like if they or someone near them has the flag or for other reasons. When they do a menu will pop up and they can choose which vehicle they want for pickup. When they request a vehicle a waypoint will guide teammates who are driving that kind of vehicle to them. Squad leaders can tap left on the d-pad to go into private leader chat with all squad leaders on their team to come up with plans like which squads attack and which defend. They have a icon on there screen that lets them know there are squad leaders private chatting. And a icon will appear over all players on there team who are private chatting either in leader chat, xbox live party, or xbox live private chat. And squadleaders can boot people who don't listen, or mess up the game. They would press the back button to pull up the squad menu and press (y) on a player they want to boot. All of squadleaders have to press (y) on that player to boot them. Squadleaders can only boot players from their squad, and the majority of players+ at least 1squad leader can vote to have a squadleader booted from their squad. At the end of a game 10 players of each squad will be chosen based on how they did by the game for extra exp ,and then their squad leaders will each choose 1person from their squad to award more extra exp. Assumingly they will choose people who listened to them or no one. There will be a few playlist in which you have to have been chosen for extra exp by squad leaders I would say 10 times before you can play them. There will also be a manditory overview / tutorial of this info so players will know the matchmaking system. You can change squad options like how many squad leaders and people in each squad in custom games, or you can just turn squads off. What do you think?

3) Armor Permutations With Traits

I'll leave this one for you guys to think about. Basically each armor has their own strengths and weaknesses.
