I want Reach to focus more on large scale Battles for multiplayer, even if its only 16-24 player battles, that can be very epic, but at the same time have multiple small battles across the field... I want it to be Spartain vs. Elites or Humans vs. Covenant, similar in a way there are Allies vs. Axis in WW2 games. With objective locations and strong holds across the map crucial to be taken over by either team for the purpose of spawn points and points on the score board. Also dedicated serves would really be nice, in Halo 3 I love Big Team battle but 50% of the time there is considerable lag, unless bungie has a new magical network code up its sleeve I think its almost necessary at this point in time, Battlefield 1943 has this and it plays beautifully with 24 players, not one laggy game for me yet! Also I would like some tropical Island battles and boats with 50 cals attached to them, similar to the concept art from Halo 2, and massive urban settings with sky scrapers in which almost every floor is accesable to snipe from, but I would love building destruction so tank rounds can take out chunks windows and cover! Maybe im asking a lot but this has always been my dream after Halo CE, does anyone else have ideas, and does anyone else know the weather conditions and environment on Reach?

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

I understand what you want, but don't make it look like an exact copy of MAG.

That would be cool. Be neat if, while your fighting, you see AI bots that are duking it out with each other, making the battle feel like a large scale conflict. Of course they would be unreachable but it would still be cool.

yeah i agree, to be honest MAG sounds cool in all but i think its too Big, to have 128 players on each team working together well isnt possible in my opinion, think about in real life all the training military goes through so that communication is set up in tiers and orders are followed, its to much to ask for it to work well as an online game in my opinion, thats why i think the sweat spot is right around 16-24, maybe up to 32, any more its just a bunch of randomness.... Also 24 players allows the battles to be epic but personal at the same time, your kills and achievements still contribute to the larger cause and can still be game changing

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

My dream would be for Bungie to sneak CE disks with XBL playability in them into every reach case and then laugh as a huge amount of threads pop up whining about how strong the pistol is.

It would be the ultimate troll.

No, i want to feel that i'm playing Halo not Battlefield 1943/Bad Company with Halo characters.

Oh shut up. Can you explain to me how adding more players will make Halo seem like Battlefield?

Are you stupid? Did you read his whole post?

He's not only asking for more players but also destruction, island maps and boats! No, just no.

And i want to be an elite when i want to or a spartan when i want to, not when the game tells me i'm on the covenant or UNSC side.

How could u say something like that when Halo is almost based on the idea of vehicle combat, and like the other guy said, the Gameplay will be the same just larger scale... Battlefield does not play like Halo not because it has more players but its shooting, physics, hit detection and everything else plays different... whats wrong with adding a game mode with levels specifically designed for larger scale fights, there are very few good large maps in Halo 3, and even the large maps aren't all that large outside of sandtrap... I want a mode with the feeling of point control where if you manage to siege a point on the map it could be game changing in ur teams favor. And What the hell is wrong with destruction, thats like saying i dont want to get laid, lol

SUPER NICE!!!

Yeah large scale would be nice. I get really tired of small teams where you get killed, and then spawn, and your left to look aimlessly for a fight which usually takes a long ass time. It gets boring. Im thinking that boats might not be to great though because then you're adding water. Deep Water+Spartan=Master Phelps??? Fail. Large scale space battles, say UNSC fighting off a boarding covenant ship. That kind of multiplayer level might work though. Good idea though.

24 players is all I'm asking for. That'd be epic. -blam!-, maybe even 32 but I highly doubt that.

I think 24 would be a good number, it's like COD

We've had 16 person online for three games, I doubt that will change and I'm glad.
