ORBITAL STRIKEMAC Blast: a MAC blast is a precision orbital strike which can be applied to a spot on the map, or even locked on to an enemy vehicle (while in the overhead map for the call-in, hover over the enemy vehicle icon and tap the right trigger, the computer will do the rest). If hit by this, you will die, no matter what...What about a bubble sheild under it?

Yes, even a bubble shield (MAC rounds can tear through Covenant cruiser shields) like how the defense turrets on Snowbound and Sandbox will kill you through a bubbleshield.

I think you have some great ideas, but I think spawning with some of the best power weapons seems a little absurd. I think finding weapon spawns on the map should still be the remaining method of getting weapons. Maybe get them off of Spartan corpses that Bungie puts on the maps. That would be clever and interesting. I think that Halo: Reach should experiment a little. Large scale battles and maps would be great.

I am glad to see more people are reading this.

Even if they are being short sighted and degrading it, at least people are reading it.

no, i think that they should keep it the way it is,just with improvements.
if they are going to change it that much they should just make a multiplayer game ONLY.

They would not be changing the way Halo games play, they would simply be making this game into a new genre, with a Bungie twist (like Halo Wars was an RTS that was great on consoles).

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

I whistle at this and love it. Though, I would enjoy discussing a few alternatives to class names, and improving the Canon a little bit with you. We could have one hell of an inventory going on.

As a result, I am PMing you my MSN address. This should give us a great chance to discuss things (I could actually use your assistance in an RP project I am working on.)

Well the weapons would be re-tuned, and the classes would be limited based on what they spawn with. For example, sniper rifles are not good at close range, we know that. To further balance the Sniper class out, they would have low health, very limited motion tracker range, and take lots of fall damage, to stop people from camping with it from afar. However, if the sniper has enough skill, they can overcome those to kill someone else, even from another class, because all would be balanced out against eachother by their weapon load outs and their player traits.

I love halo and I play it alot, but if you play as Spartain 259 in HALO REACH I would love Bungie moor than I like any other game company in the world if they put the main battle in the game. im not telling anybody how to make a game heer its just I think this is how the main big battle would start. you would be the UNSC space ship titled the Laviathan and the covanent just arrived at reach one second ago. you get called to the brige and the admiral says "son you and your SPARTAINs go to the surface we'll hold them off heer, make shure they don't deploy any troops on the planet" says the admiral "but sir..."Spartain 259's voice is cut off by the admiral "thoes are orders son" "Yes sir!"replys the Spartain. He goes down to the dock and gets his squad of fifteen Spartains onto a pelican and departs for the surface. About forty minuts into the space battle and the covenent have landed on Reach there lined up preparring themselves for the battle on one end of the battlefield. Spartain 259 is directed to lead the UNSC forces into battle, He loads his shotgun. two hours into battle with the covenent. Spartain 259 runs allong the side of a blown-up warthog he seeks for cover. and another Spartain takes cover behind a rock about ten meters from him. He has the recon armur on and is armed with a battle rifle. he shoots and says "Holy -blam!- they brought a wraith!!!!!!!!" Spartain 259 looks at him.The wraith shoots and hits one meter in front of the downed warthog Spartain 259 was taking cover behind. the warthog flys it hits a helpless marine. the Spartain crouched behind the rock with his shields down shouts " come over heer!!!!!" to Spartain 259. He looks up then struggles to get on his feet and takes one step the Spartain yells again "come over hee..." and he getts sniped in the head. The wraith shoots another superheated plasma bolt in his direction. a ODST yells "Fall back, fall back". 259 sprints with all of his strength in the direction of the yelling voice. he sprints back to the fortifications, where the yelling voice came from. the ODST yells "sargant,sargent!!" there sargent runs up to them armed with a sniper rifle and a battle rifle. he bore the symbol of a gunnerary sargant grade two. the sargent said "we got a war to win marine what do you want!" the ODST replys " you wanted a Spartain sir" "ah! yes the covenent are advanceing fast and the Master Chiefs up there. I hope youre sa good as they say you are. Stop them from advanceing, thats an order." says the sargant, as he hands 259 his sniper rifle. one hour later, the covenent have breeched the fortifications 259 was fighting them off in the court yard until he herd the cry of a merine saying "Spartain come inside now we need you!" he obeyed orders and ran inside, the pressure doors closed behind him. the marine sayed "wraiths are shooting holes in the building" they run to the back of the complex. they heer the crashing of the door 259 entered. they ran inside a room and closed the pressure doores behind them. there five ODSTs and ten marines including the sargant which had handed him the sniper rifle, and two marines struggling to pry the door back door open. The sargant ran up to the Spartain and said "we don't have much time we need you to help open this door so we can escape and get in reenforcements...Wait. ""do you heer that." said a marine "Plasma granade every body down!" said the sargant.the door blasted open and covenent forces swarmed in. 259 ran up to the back door and said "if they can do it we can to"as he stuffed a granade into the locking mechanism of the door. a second later the door blasted open. and two marines ran out as well as the sargant. a plasma rifle shot from one of the eliets flew through the air and hit the sargants leg muscle.he fell to the ground screaming in pain.259 grabbed his hands and pulled him out of the oncoming fire while the two marines fended the covenent off. the sargent said to him -cough-"take this flare run into the opening field two kilometers from heer and light it hopefully reenforcements will come.and moast importent of all buy the Master Chief some time every second counts." the sargand rolled over and died. the two marienes were cut down to one and as the sargant died the covenent overwhelmed the mariene and the Spartain looked up and ran in the direction of the field and never looked back.Ten minuts later Spartain 259 arrives at the field. he radioes in the Laviathan asking for reeinforcements. the Admaral snaps back at the call for help and says "no we cant we got problems of our own up heer."the com goes static . the Spartain could heer in the backround "how big of a hit was that?" the Admiral gets on the com and says "youe permission for reenforcements granted""good" says the Spartain 259 "drop zone will be marked by a green flare in an open field" 259 says as he lights the flare.one minute later he grows impationt and he looks over at the horizon and sees five small dots he heers the voice of an elete neerby he thought "dam they followed me heer and right when the dropships arive too." he readied his wepon. he saw them now the covenent that breeched there fortifications that threw the granade at the door. he looked back at the dots in the horizon behind him. they were getting closer yes but it wasn't the ships he had hoped for they were banshees aimed right for him.he ran for cover but there was none as the covenent closed in on him and the banshees locked on. he said "Im not going out with out a bang " as he pressed the button of a plasma granade he had found while in the court yard of the fort erlyer today. all five banshies fired there mounted single shot fule rod cannons at him, as soon as the eliets got within range the granade detonated,and he died.he killed two eliets and injured another. THE END. and thats what I think the battle of reach should be. the whole campaign levle be one battle on one battlefield. PS: what i meen is the whole levle be made like a multyplayer map one big battle and with cover scattered everywhere. :D

As well done as this post is I still say no to a class based Halo. It couldn't be as good as the current gameplay. I do not like class based games and I play Halo because it isn't, so do many people. What would happen to those people? Would Bungie just tell them to -blam!- off because Halo wants to be like everything else? I know many previous fans wouldn't play it, sure new ones would come but is it really worth it to tell some of their old fan base that they don't care about them? No offense but you could simply go play Battlefield or any other class based game but I can't go play another new Halo game.

Halo wouldn't be like everything else if it had classes. If it did have classes, I could go ahead and tell anyone who didn't like them to go and play Quake, just like you could tell me to go play Battlefield since you don't want classes.

Now this is good, maybe for the beginning you should have, rather than a simple selection screen, you should have a dropship armoury scene, where you grab the weapons you want then jump out the back to enter the game, if you dont like this you can 'grab' your preset class.
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
I think that with the squad point of view and the larger scale gameplay, rapid deployment options would be nice, where if you were in a squad you could have a pelican to strike in as far as you could, anyone not in a squad would be teamed up to make one.
If not pelicans how about drop pods for an ODST gametype where you have to rapidly shock the enemy team defences then capture their command bunker or whatever.
I think the oppertunities of new gametypes is so huge, a lot of new concepts would work with this, especially if you and your squad worked together well and got a heavy weapons guy, a close range guy, a long range guy and other team members so you had a team member for every job.
Maybe in the drop pod assault or Pelican jump idea there could be chances of a failed jump or landing, causing heavy sheild damage, weapons loss or movement penalties. This would make you always want the best in your squad leading you in or whatever, and make much more comradeship within your team.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

I swear. Every, single, one of us, has been thinking of this for some reason. It may be the way the trailer is presented, with the whole battle going on.

Who says they're not already doing something along these lines? The physiques of the Spartans in the banner as well as their weapons would suggest they are doing just that.

Stop destroying the environment,get of that computer and go into your backyard and build a nuclear powerplant...

:)

How about 2 disc's? One disc normal multiplayer and campain, and the other is "Tactical Halo"? This would be the halo multiplayer as you said before with a prvate match option with a class review button which explanes the advantages and disadvantage of each class and a tip Eg Recon class: *your recon post* EXTRA* You make the edges of the map deadly and strike fear into the heart of the enemy, you make the map a tence atmosphair and leaving the enemy confused as you take them out one by one without them no idea of where you are and who is next.
Tip: This class is very useless to sneak around the map and puss back enemy lines. Lurk around the edges of the map and pick of players who wonder off from the group then -Blam!-take them out the way you want to.

Tip 2: To help not getting killed my these deadly masters of stealth is to stay with a PACK with your team, soif they start to shoot at you there camo goes and there left helpless facing 4/5 bloodthristy enemys waiting to her you scream.

ANOTHER IDEA!
here it is...
Advise: Advise is given to you every time you level up alot of levels. Adsive with give you tactics to take out enemys and survive on the vicious battlefield. Heres a example:
Groups: Wondering of cna usally leave you open to snipers and other players looking for a kill. You are weak when by yourself so traveling ina group makes snipers spoilt for choice on who to try and kill first so you could get away alive if a teamate takes a bullet to the head. -EXTRA- It is VERY importent to have a sniper in a group so he/she can wipe them out if you cant reach them and if they know they cant kill em them make mark them so the rest of the group can take them out so you get away without a scratch. This feature can also make out snipers who have pinned you down and make your team aware of a sniper, you can also make out enemey recon players so your team know where he is and take him out of avoid him.

I really like the idea and with feature would and hopefully add a more team based game making bigger and more tence games with a really exciting game making you want more!
So you like my ideas? Please reply! I dont care if you dont like, can you please comment WHY you dont like and how i could improve the idea.

*EXTRA* When you mark a player the marker shows on YOUR radar not screen and there would be an arrow pointing towards the enemeys postion, you can only mark 1 player at a time and the marker would go if the person dies or you die (Only one person can mark a player!)

  • 08.03.2009 2:12 PM PDT

this would probably be pretty cool. i dont really like cod/war games other than halo but this would be good if they could make it with equal classes.

almost i liked the effort you put into the whole description

  • 08.03.2009 3:37 PM PDT

Allright man not a week ago, i had a talk with a friend of mine about this same type of game. It would be amazing in the halo universe just because...of how awesome the halo universe is. BUT i dont know if bungie wants to change over their gamepay just yet. I think that after we finish up with this whole story and bungie can start with somthing fresh we could see a game like this. Unless they wanted to make this into a multi-game arc, which i dont see happening, i dont think they will make such huge changes.

I still think the idea is awesome and hold out hope that they do somthing like this :D

I think the ideas are great i just dont think the class system would be any good because it would be like a super blast away fight and it would probably lag ALOT. Also it would have to be hard to get scarabs and other things like mac blasts or else it would get really annyoning if you died like instantly right when you spawned because everyone would have airstrikes and hunters and scarabs just popping up like every minute. But it would be great as long as there was no classes and maybe only have a few number of vehichles that go well with the level instead of every vehichle in every level and only certain call ins and airstrikes for certain levels like maybe 1 level is to small to have scarabs so you wouldnt be able to call in scarabs in that level. And it would be nice if their was a 2 min time space between calling anything in for teams so people wouldnt take turns and pulverise the other team right at the start. But i love the rest. out of 5 i would give it a 4.
