I was looking at the Halo 3 : ODST trailer and seeing that it was 4 player co-op. As i was playing rainbow six vegas 2 on terrorist hunt, i was thinking, what if Halo 3: ODST had its own type of "Hunt"? In my opinion i think this would be a really cool and new adition to Halo 3 ODST's gametypes. Like imagine this, you and 3 other friends (Maybe even more) in a huge portion of the city at night, and your whole objective was to eliminate all of the Covenant in the area. You could utilize different tactics and all that kinda stuff. Idk. this is just my idea, and if the idea is cool enough, maybe it will even make it to the game. just leave me a comment on how u think of this idea and why u think so.

Could work, because in ODST you have to think more about strategy than Rambo style.

I think this is a pretty neat idea to mix things up a little bit.

I am pretty sure that is what Firefight is designed to do.

No, Firefight is closer to horde in Gears. A terrorist hunt in an open city halo environment would be badass.

But Firefight is going through the campaign of H3 Odst. (Actually im not sure) "Covenant Hunt" or whatever you want to call it, would be in a made up match, it wouldnt have to do with the campaign. Have you ever played RSV2? If u have im sure you would see the difference.Like i said before, you could like start off in a drop pod or something or maybe be dropped off in a pelican (I like the drop pod idea better), and regroup with ur teammates, and just work together to stealthily(or however u want to) take out all of the hostiles in the area, or map you start off in, Something like that.

I'm a major supporter of one of these kind of game types. It would give you more than just the avg. campaign and multiplayer.

Actually, sounds like it'd be great fun. Only thing mentionable is that I don't suggest that the mission be to kill everything in the entire city. It's a big city.

Yeah it probably would just be a small sector of the city or a building probably.

My friends call me D Bo.

Maybe call it "survival"?

  • 06.01.2009 7:47 PM PDT

Well they could change it up, like instead of to kill everything it could be to like caprute key points, or blow this or that up, you know, something like that.

Yeah. If implemented, the purpose should not be to eliminate all Covenant forces in the city. The objective should be to eliminate all Covenant in the entire continent of Africa.

Essentially Halo 3: ODST Campaign in a nutshell there. xD

Well survival is more of the other game type Firefight, where in this game type you have to eliminate all Covenant in the area.

I think that's a good idea for the halo series, since some people get bored of killing each other on multiplayer everyday, wining and losing and the campaign is just the same everyday since it will be the same enemies and at the same spots every time.

This way it can get more creative everyday since the Covenant will spawn at random times during the "Covenant Hunt" (If you like that name for the gametype). This way it will be more funnier in the Halo Series and people will actually like it. (In my opinion)

I think this idea would be better than a "Horde" kinda gametype. If it was like horde, it would basically be like camping in a corner with a shotgun waiting for everyone to come at u and try and kill you, but if it was like a "Hunt" it would be kinda the opposite way around. I really enjoyed the Terrorist Hunt on R6V2, and adding this to H3 ODST's stealth element would be really cool imo, since you cant go all rambo style anymore, running into a group of 10 ppl while they are all shototing u and killing them all. I really didnt enjoy the Rambo type of gameplay, it took away from the fun and didnt make the game a challenge.

Exactly walking into a room and knowing exactly what enemies are there, where they are which makes clearing the room a lot easier then walking into a room and not knowing what is going to hit you. This would bring a whole new experience to a game

glad to see some ppl agree with my idea
