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

thats good, this is a game of war no more no less is not a Hero that gose and do its job like the other Halos so this would fit very well..

I like the idea of playing as all the species of the covenant

  • 07.16.2009 12:07 PM PDT

Thank you. I'm going to update this very soon (Check bottom!)

throwning snowballs at cars is like doing a bell ditch. The end result is basically the same: sprinting away from the large man exiting his car who yells profanities, hiding behind a house, and watching as his car patrols the street, waiting to murder you.

Asking the flood for dating advice is like you going up to a bunch of starving Africans and debating the pros and cons of the bacon roll vs the double cheeseburger.

Some one who stands for nothing shall fall for everything.

Hmmm, very interesting. Almost sounds a bit too much like an RTS, bu nonetheless I can see enjoying it.

While thank you. Any suggestions?

  • 07.16.2009 1:43 PM PDT

that sound ausome
they could even have a matchmaking mode for that maybe call it survival/war

i like on how you can be the covenant and the humans but elites are able to take cover they do it all the time in halo 1 and 2

but how about an upgrade for AI weapons that costs money instead of having to find them on the ground

sounds a little like halo wars but you would be fighting the enemy while leading your allies sounds really fun

  • 07.16.2009 1:50 PM PDT

Join me and together we can beat the -blam!- out of little kids on halo 3 as friend and aquantence

The point and weapon idea is like -blam!- Zombies from cod W.A.W. i think but everything else is out of imagination which i admire, i would most definatly play the gametype but i think it would sort of be complicated somtimes.

Just for clarity you don't control your men (Unless Reach has squad controls) they are just A.I bots. Of course how good the A.I is is buyable.

Don't look behind you

most productive and amazing thread ive seen since i joined *saves thread*

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

Posted by: The Jury
This is too complicated for an otherwise easy-going game. Maybe if this was World of Warcraft we'd give a damn about all these attributes, but this is Halo. Here we shoot and think once we stop playing


Then you can keep on playing Halo 3.

Great thread OP.

common sense is not commonly used

so counterstrike style lol

  • 07.20.2009 1:25 PM PDT

I see you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This game type is probably one of the best game types I've heard of, not only can it be part of another games multiplayer, it can be a video game all by it self!
The AI is a perfect idea, i mean, who hasn't hated only having small teams that don't work together, the AI could flank, distract, and protect an almost down player or fellow AI.
KEEP ADDING IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plekpedia - The most epic site in the history of ever.

Oh, okay, I have something you can add! The name!

A great name for this gametype would be:

Halo Wars.

THREAD REVIVE

Halo Wars is RTS, 3rd Person, and nothing like Halo except the things and story.

Plus Halo Wars is...idk, a marine killing an Arbiter seems kinda BS to me sorry.

Anyway having 10 so bots vs 10 so bots is not Halo Wars.

  • 07.21.2009 11:49 AM PDT

Hasn't some other Bungie.net member said this already? I don't know, it seems familiar...
