Before you read
Not saying this is 100% original, it's probably been done. And if not then hmm a new idea.
What is this idea It's a PvP, Survival (firefight) style gametype. It can be played on Live, or Split Screen, And (as much as it would be boring as odd) by yourself. It starts off small and it builds up in time.
* Sides
Human
Covenant
* Vs
Human vs Covenant
Human vs Human
Covenant vs Covenant
Objective/time
Your objective is to kill your enemy, first round is pretty much the same as normal Slayer. Yet each kill will earn you points, points will earn you things for further rounds. This can be anything from Weapons, Friendly Bots, Vehicles, Power Ups, Upgrades to bases.
(Default Points)
Normal Kill-5
Headshot-10
Whack-15
Assassination-20
Spree-+1 point per above points (EX- Headshot=11)
Each next "spree" will earn 1 point
Splatter-10
TeamKill- -10
Suicide -15
1st Round-5 Mins (default) you get standard guns, X vs X players.
2nd Round-5 mins.Points can be split evenly, or by who got them. Each player (on each team) can pick what to buy with it. They could buy anything.
3-X rounds-Rounds 3 to (X) will gain 5 mins each by default.
3-5
4-10
5-15
ETC.
What can be bought
All Weapons (on your side)
All Vehicles (on your side)
Grenades
Overshield
Active Camo
Speed Boost
Barrier
Turret
Equipment (if in game)
Sides
Human_You play as a Spartan. You can get Marines, ODST's, CrewMembers, and Spartans. All A.I bots.
Ups-Humans are smaller targets, guns are a bit easier to use,They are generally more brave. Weapons take out health more.
Downs-They are weaker, weapons wont do much on heavier covenant shields, and they have slower means of healing (healthpacks etc)
______________________
Covenant_You play as an Elite. You can get Grunts, Jackals, Hunters and other Elites. All A.I bots.
Ups-A little stronger, they can take more hits, and bullets from human guns take out shields very slowly. Plasma does good damage on shields and health.
Downs-You are a bigger target, taking cover might not always work, meaning while your Spartan enemies can hide behind a car...you might not. Also once your shields are out you are very weak.
UPDATE 1
Bots.
Weapons[/b]
Default (What each one starts off with on default normal)
Marine-Assault Rifle
Crew-Pistol
ODST-Battle Rifle
Grunt-Needler
Jackal-Plasma Pistol
Hunter-Halo:CE style Gun
Elite-Plasma Rifle
Bonus Packs
These will be expensive but useful.
[u]Human
Long Range-Members get scopes guns, Pistol, BR, Sniper.
Heavy-Get Rockets and use more Frags.
Squad-5 Marines for the price of One
ODST Squad-5 ODST for the price of one.
Army-30 Marines, 15 ODST. Very expensive, very rare.
Covenant
Long Range-Jackal Snipers. 5 of them.
Heavy-Hunters and FRG Grunts. 5 total (2 hunters, 3 grunts)
Squad-1 Minor elite, 5 Grunts
Elite Squad- 2 Mayor Elites, 5 Grunts
Army-5 Minor, 5 Jackal, 20 grunts, 4 Hunters
NEW!
UPDATE 2
A.I levels
When you buy any ally (from grunt to Spartan) they will all act on Normal A.I levels. They will have default health, default skills. Of course a Spartan will be smarter then a Grunt, but still they are on the same "level'.
Buying brains
You can change this, quick A.I updates which improve your men.
1-Hero-All your men will become Heroic status, so smarter, tougher, yet still the same health. This only improves A.I.
2-Legendary-All your men will become Legendary status. A lot smarter, more deadly. Still the same health!
3-DumbDown-This pack is extremely expensive, one of the top 3 highly rare items. DumbDown will automatically turn all your enemies men into "easy" status. Slower and a lot stupider then ever.
Expensive Things (new/old
1-DumbDown-Dumbdown will be around 400-500 points. Mainly because it's almost cheap (turning all your enemies troops into idiots)
2-Army (both)-An army will be around 150-200 points. And a second Army will be +50 points each.
3-Weapons Drop-As the name suggests this drops off weapons, pretty good ones too. Not uber expensive. Only 100 points
4-Mythic-Mytic is the most expensive and rare of items/upgrades. Getting this will be almost impossible. A whopping 1000 points is needed, and heres why
1-All men become 25% stronger. And smartest A.I they can get
2-All men become 15% faster and more agile.
3-10% more reaction time
4-Enemies will be easier to see.
5-You will be givin 10% of your current troops after every round. So if you have 10 men at the next round you will have 11.
Modes
Default-Default is exactly what is above.
Famine-Famine is when you only earn half the points. Famine can be switched between teams, or both. Everything still costs the same
Extra-This is when you get double points, can be switched between teams or both. Everything still costs the same.
Iron-Players and A.I have 25% extra armor/health. Vehicles will switch to heavier types. And A.I use more grenades/heavy guns.
Side Switch-A very intresting version. At first it's the same as default. However Side Switch works like this Lets say it's Covie vs Human. Now instead of you spawning with your men, you spawn with your enemy This makes it a lot harder because right from the start you will be in enemy hands. (Comes in Famine and Extra mode as well)
Rich Bastard-This is pretty funny. This mode will give you 500 points from the start. And you will earn double points
Real Time Time
Here's something new I just thought of with this mode. Since there is a "Infinite" amount of rounds I think it would be cool if for some maps, (or all?) there would be a Day/Night thing going on.
Round1-day
Round2-Late day
Round3-Night
Round4-Early morning
ETC
ETC
