dude i had same idea but youre a grunt in versus campaignPosted by: Manbearpig0
I have an idea that might just be the most epicest idea in the whole of epictopia - GRUNT WARS.

Basically, Grunt Wars is a playlist consisting of Slayer gametypes. The twist is that it forces all players into Grunt character models! The weapon set is set to weapons that can be wielded single-handedly (Pistols, Plasma Rifles, etc), shields and headshots are disabled and the two teams of Grunts must attempt to wipe each other out.

Now, as a Grunt the player will be a lot slower and weaker than a Spartan, and can only pilot Covenant vehicles (Minus the Banshee, or anything else un-Grunty) and Mongooses. Just because it would be awesome to see a Grunt on a Mongoose. Gametypes include Rumble Pit, Team Slayer, and Big Team Battle.

I think a new gun should be introduced to the rifle series, there is the AR and the BR, now, the Combat Rifle.

Could be like a semi automatic shotgun, or slow firing fully auto shotgun, that would be sick. It could have further range than a shotgun, and have a laser sight...

90% of teens today would die if Myspace was completely destroyed. If you are one of the 10% that would be laughing, copy and paste this to your signature.

- 24 players provides too much strain for the average connection. 16 is already turmoil in most cases. Halo games tend to have a better feel to the game when played in smaller teams, anyways.


PC games can get around 64 player games. Couldnt they restructure the system to work like them?

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I have an idea you can add. Remove dual wielding, and beef up all previously dual wieldable weapons. SMG becomes like the H3 ODST SMG, Pistol is like the H3 ODST Magnum, etc. and make ALL weapons more versatile, like they were in Halo 1, so that the BR will not be overpowered/overused as it was in Halo 2 and 3. Better game for everyone.

Let there be light, created from fire

I am all i am, i am a team player(when im not pissed), i make great strategies, i will punch you in the face after armor locking, you have to be at sniper distance to not get headshot by my DMR or pistol, wraiths beware, i am DxXOrangesXxD and i am ready to rumble! (When Halo 4 comes out cause Reach is nothing but crap players now)

I dont see the problem everyone has with duel wielding, it works fine if you know how to use it and there are alot of weapons that can beat the BR already

  • 07.31.2009 5:14 PM PDT

You have no rights, play nice.

from page 2, someone mentioned something about squads. I tihnk it would be kinda cool because its the military we are talking about in the halo universe. They have squads, so, why not now? The party system already functions like that. You party up with other people, and you form a squad. Now, you should be able to do something with your squad, besides just playing together. There are so many possibilities that can come from this one basic concept, its just that we havent thought of anything yet that could. Just think a lil bit. Im tired, so i have nothing, so, ima head to bed. But remember. Think of the possibilities.

Grenade without pin equals worst enemy :)

dude this list is insane!!! Bungie defiantly needs to see this

and I agree with the AR that thing needs to go. The last thing a player wants while running somewhere is a noob just following u holding down the R trigger, especially coz the clip is too big, so they'll be spraying bullets for ages before reloading

nope, i just never have any problems with them

so Completely agree with everything in the post. and the one above this one(i havn't read below yet)

I think this is a pretty good list.. although you did post a lot of stuff twice.

The only few things I would add overall is to increase the Frames per second by at least 20, and make movement about 110-125% faster. This is what the MLG playlist does, and it provides a much more fast paced, enjoyable experience. I would also decrease the auto-aim to the head by a lot and reduce the headhot hit-box to the top of the head where the brain actually is, just like in Hao CE. That reduced the dominance of headshot weapons at the time, and apparently needs to be introduced again seeing all the complaints about BR dominance.

All other weapons need increased accuracy and strength by just a little, especially the plasma pistol and rifle.

Also, like you already said, vehicles need to be a little weaker in defense. I'd like a plasma grenade or a rocket to kill a warthog like it did in the good old days.

First person side seats would be cool too. Maybe the A button could toggle that while you're sitting there.

Other than that, it's a good list. Just get rid of the duplicate suggestions.

If you fail on your first attempt, try cheating

There should be some form of multiplayer that involves AI like some PvP parts of WoW where AI guard a base, and if you take it over you get more points or reinforcements

i think that should be saved for the nect PC halo game(if there ever is one)they could do twice as much for a PC version then a console version

  • 08.01.2009 8:06 PM PDT

BOOM Headshot!

weapons sound pretty good. maybe a gun that shoots firebomb grenades would be cool. except it would take 5-6 seconds to reload and had very limited ammo. i loved the skull ideas and 24 players in big team battles would be sick. i was thinking for matchmaking you could request what map you wanted like you start a game and go to options and select "prefered options". there you could choose game mode and maps and stuff. a custom games lobby would be cool. if they could pull it off somehow maybe you could have 6 player xbl co-op. and a campaing lobby like Waw would be awesome. and last but not least forge. i want more maps like sand box. with new objects and adjustible weather maybe. like madden games where you change the weather before the game, something like that would be nice. thank you bungie for making this game!

well the game isnt made yet and no one knows what its going to be like im just makign this list of base ideas NOW instead of later when it will be to late to add anything

  • 08.04.2009 10:52 AM PDT

i like everything except the destructable enviroments

  • 08.04.2009 11:05 AM PDT

Crow

Love the list, especially about the pellican and an upgraded assult rifle! Not so much on armor abilities, sounds too much like world of warcraft or somthing. I realy hope bungie puts them into the game. Most likely if there are tons of people saying they want it, and it has what they asked for you will sell more coppies : )

I need a dropshield dropshield

we don't need forge we need a map creator

  • 08.05.2009 4:12 AM PDT

I think grunt wars would be good. Also them creatures with the shields. The death screams would be fantastic! It would be slow though.

An easy thing to add a bit of fun would be to have moving objects (e.g. conveyor belts etc) like you get in the campaign. Perhaps a hazardous factory press? Also them guns that keep you from leaving snowbound - stick one of them on a conveyor belt going through the middle of the map!

Also I would like the spartan laser to fire through walls and have a narrow x-ray view. Such a powerful weapon could be balanced by the target being able to somehow induce a feedback which kills the wielder.

How about a cluster grenade - this would do little damage but have a massive blast radius - ideal for keeping shields from regenerating...

We definitely need a drivable pelican (and scarab!) and the bubble cloak is a good idea. Why are people saying it doesn't fit into the halo universe??

How about a kamikaze vehicle that causes a big explosion - ideal against tanks or groups.

How about some equipment that makes a small drone follow you around and shoot anyone in sight. This could also be balanced by being highly explosive.

That's all I can think of for now. The key thing is to keep a good balance. And never forget the golden triangle of Halo - primary, grenade, melee!

  • 08.05.2009 5:29 AM PDT

oh yeah and one more thing. If someone is visible to you along a line of sight (e.g. not behind a wall ceiling if you were facing them) then the radar dot should flash. This would make crouching a more important element.

lots of cool ideas there

  • 08.07.2009 2:59 AM PDT

I have the best idea, give the marines/Spartans their own melee weapon like the gravity hammer or sword

it could be like a rough model stolen of covenant tech, since that's how Spartans got their shields from jackal shields

Constitutionally this works because it is within reach time line and it could of become obsolete


-----Even possibly give the Spartans a rough copy of the cyclops from halo wars
