I was thinking about all the possible Halo spin offs when I came up with a pretty good idea(Well in my opinion because I loved Star Wars Battlefront). Halo Star Wars Battlefront style. This idea is probably thought of often so if there is a thread similar to this one, I'm sorry and please let me know and I'll edit my post to blankness.

Anyway back on topic. Just like battlefront 2, there would be a couple of classes that you can start the match off with, like infantry man , who would have an AR, frag grenades,maybe an equipment like a power drainer, and a pistol. Then there would be a sniper class with obviously a sniper, a trip mine(or anything else if anyone can think of anything better) and a pistol. The class directed towards taking out vehicles could be marines with rockets, flame 'nades, and maybe a power drain. Engineers could have shotties, pistols,ammo dispensing ability, Regenerators(maybe), and of course, the ability to fix vehicles. Classes that can be unlocked through getting kills could possibly be ODSTs with Spartan lasers, SMG, and frag grenades, and the possiblity of an equipment. Another unlockable class could be a marine with a flamethrower, I don't really know what else because once again I was just brainstorming. For the character that is allowed to the person on the team with the most kills after a set time limit, it could be a Spartan with Br, SMG, grenades, and a Bubbleshield.

Covenant could consist of Elites for the majority and maybe add a brute cheiftan as the character who is awarded to the person with the most kills. Or maybe an elite with more shielding and a beam sword. Weapons wise it would just be a matter of counter parting, example the carbine and the BR.

Gameplay would be just like battlefront, including space battlers and even the ability to switch between First person and Third person for the people who want something different than First person Halo all the time.


Oh, and feel free to post any ideas you'd like me to add or just your opinions on how you'd think the game would play out.

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

First of all, lulz at "beam sword"
Second, It's not gonna happen.

Beam sword is what we used to call it in halo 2 because my friend thought it made the same noise as the beam sword from super smash bros. And I never said it would happen, just wanted to share my idea. Thanks for the post and your opinion though.

I really hope you're kidding. Otherwise I'm going to have to set my 360 on fire and hunt down the producers that would have been finishing that game.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

-Thanks to Rocket Turtle for pointing out my typing follies.

battlefront 2 wasn't a good game. it was incredibly casual. halo is primarily for serious gamers.
so in short, your idea is terrible

it would be kinda cool but I think it is must likely the Rainbow six vegas style game that myself and I'm sure others have been waiting for. So 4 player tatical shooter with Spartans

Yea, thousands of screaming children and rank whores are VERY serious.

I have been thinking about this for a while now, as the picture at the top shows their are 5 different characters, which could represent 5 different classes within matchmaking. This would totally change Halo's matchmaking experience, and sometimes change is a good thing.

Reach's Multiplayer should have a different feel to it, rather than it just being the same with better graphics and new maps.

First of all, Battlefront 2 is a fail example of a classed-based shooter. Go play some Team Fortress.
Secondly, this is the antithesis of Halo multiplayer. Halo is about perfect balance, not unbalanced classes.

This idea isn't the "best idea yet", it is the same as the last ten halo battlefront threads.

Ya I figured someone beat me to the punch. I don't come on the community forums very often because I just stay in my group's forums. Then one of my group members posted a link to one of the topics here and I decided to make a topic on an idea I had soooo yeah.

And to whoever said that Halo is about Balance and not unbalanced classes: That's why Bungie would make the classes balanced -.- Star Wars Battlefront was balanced so I'm sure Bungie could find a way to make Halo Battlefront style balanced too(If it was ever even considered).
