Subject: "HALO 3: ODST" My Idea on Spawning

Big Halo Fan
Makes descent machinima.

Hey who here other than me thinks that in firefight and maybe in co-op campaign, when you die, you respawn in an ODST drop pod and you get to decide where you drop it anywhere in the map. The way you control it would be you would use your right analog stick to shift the pod. It would make it a little more fun than just waiting there for the respawn timer to hit zero. And you could see you're buddies fighting as you're falling which for me personally is pretty cool. What do you guys think?

That would be a really good respawn i think thumbs up.

See I think that would be a cool thing. But wouldn't that be a little resource intensive and a pain to code? Still would be cool thou.

Believe. Bungie.

Thats an amazing idea. Yah the code would be a pain but hey Bungie could easily delay reach for 1 week and get about the 20 people working on Reach to help them on anything they need.

I'ma beam them up.

That wouldn't be hard to code... Medal of Honor: Airborne got it down pretty nicely.

Believe. Bungie.

Thats right i forgot about that. Was there really dropping in from planes during online also cus then i should have kept the game.

common sense is not commonly used

it would be cool although if they did it you probably wouldn't be able to see out as you fall

This might work if your reswpan time is 20 secounds and you have time to pick your location and everything

sig goes where?

So in other words a complete rip-off of Section 8's spawning system?

He's not kidding. The search bar isn't perfect.

I want my steaks Luke...

I'm against it...

When you apply further thought to it, you must ask yourself the question of where the drop pods go when they land, and what if they block passages that further your progression? With that much animation and memory applied to what could be a simple respawn, would it be worth it? What happens if you land on one of your teammates? What happens if you drop in front of a chieftain or hunters? With such an animation, what glitches are bound to happen?

In all honesty, it sounds theoretically good, but if it were to be actually implemented, it could catastrophically alter game play for the worse...

That's a great idea, but so it doesn't take so long it can just show the ODST pod hitting the ground and you quickly jumping out and running in.

Many threads on this, but w/e.

It wouldn't work with the way Firefight is set up, there's a room where you get weapons at the start and when you respawn, how would that work with a HEV? You could get your weapons and then drop I suppose, but I gotta say, it would be a -blam!- to code.

no more spawn camping!

I love Halo, I have played it since the beginning, even though I may not have had Xbox Live back then. Marathon is also a pretty good game.

Thank You Bungie! For the best games and Recon Armor. Also thanks for the early access to the Halo: Reach Beta!

This account was hacked and I now have a new account.

I think that would be awsome but I don't they put it in the game. I don't know about Co-oP but it would work in single player.

  • 07.20.2009 5:37 AM PDT

As someone said above, it's a good idea in theory, but if you were to implement it, there would be all sorts of flaws.

For example, you'd never be able to spawn inside a building, you'd have to respawn on top, and as you can't get on top of certain buildings, it would be out of bounds and count as a suicide.

Sweet idea, I fully support this.

  • 07.20.2009 6:05 AM PDT

Agreed nice idea yet could cause so many loop holes, glitches and bugs with getting out the map and places where you not supposed to go also.

You woudn't need to explore. Someone kills themself drops next to a becon.
Would ruin the game.

a friend of mine made a thread like this. we thought only to use it on firefight and limit how far the pod can go so you dont change the game to much. ex. you die and you get the position selection screen. while moving down you can slightly change direction and if your friends are under you, you warn them. then there is a slim chance of also landing on top of a covie. of course it wouldnt work on co-op.
