Here is my idea for a Versus Campaign mode in Halo Reach. It would be whatever the UNSC coop limit is versus an equal amount of players on the Covenant side. One side would play as the UNSC and the other side as the Covenant. Cutscenes and boss fights would be disabled.

The UNSC would be exactly as they are in normal Coop. They would each have one life.

The Covenant would be a little different. The players would fly around in ghost cam, when the get near a Covenant enemy they can become them by pressing a button. Everytime a Covenant player dies they can simply select another enemy to play as. The players could be any Covenant enemy present in the level. Each enemy would have its own strength and weaknesses. The player would be able to use unique strategies they think of to defeat the UNSC.

The UNSC would play until they die scoring points for each kill. When all the UNSC are dead the level resets and the players switch to the oposite side.

The scoring would be FFA. The winners would be the top half of the players with the highest scores. This mode could even have matchmaking with ranks.

EDIT:I rewrote it. It sounds more like Left 4 Dead survival mode than Perfect Dark 64 counter-op now.

That would be awesome. I loved Perfect Dark orignal, ufortunately I don't remember that mode, but it sounds sweet.

I think it would be awsome!
Like it would add almost a new difficulty to the game.
No more stomping on the A.I. and running through campaign.

Yeah and it would allow people to live their dreams of playing as Covenant. I'd imagine 4 player controlled grunts having the potential to ambush and kill a single lone Spartan.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

That sounds like an amazing idea... the only thing I would suggest is that I think the coop will be 5 players this time around judging by the sillhouette, so it could be a 5v5 versus campaign.

Yeah. Whatever the co-op limit is would be the Versus limit.

Yeah but that wasn't my original idea, it makes more sense for it to be like L4D survival. The difference is you get to be any enemy you want.

No. Heck no.

Why not this idea is -blam!- awesome.

Laggen' ain't easy

I like this Idea,, it sounds a little bit to much like Left 4 Dead to have a good chance to be implemented. I would love to see it happen,, but I don't think it will.
