I always thought a Halo game with a "battlefield" multiplayer would be neat. With Humans vs. Covenant, each split into classes Humans having Marines, ODST's, Spartans, etc. and the Covenant having Grunts, Jackals, Elites/Brutes, maybe even hunters. With vehicles and possibly customizable weapon classes it would play like an expansive game of territory control.

I'm hoping Halo Reach may turn out something like this since the Halo franchise has been in the normal first person shooter for the first three games, Halo: ODST is a FPS with a squad Gears of War/ Ghost Recon look to it. Halo Wars was a Real time strategy game.

Just was curious to see what other people thought of this.

90% of teens today would die if Myspace was completely destroyed. If you are one of the 10% that would be laughing, copy and paste this to your signature.

Yes! I love the battlefield games

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Balance would be tricky.

Also, the problem with Battlefield games is that you can spend 5 minutes running to the action, just to get sniped/tank shelled/murdered by aircraft.

One of the reasons Bungie limited the number of Players in H3 to 16 is that more players reduces the effect that any one player can have on the game. That is especially evident in games like Battlefield.

I'm sure sooner or later there will be a Battlefield "Space" or something. I doubt there would be a Halo one.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

Oh man, it is too bad they haven't made a Gears of War game, but Halo.
Oh man, it is too bad they haven't made a Left 4 Dead game, but Halo.
Oh man, it is too bad they haven't made a Call of Duty game, but Halo.
Oh man, it is too bad they haven't made a Grand Theft Auto game, but Halo.
Oh man, it is too bad they haven't made a The Agency game, but Halo.
Oh man, it is too bad they haven't made a Madden NFL game, but Halo.
Oh man, it is too bad they haven't made an Assassin's Creed game, but Halo.
Oh man, it is too bad they haven't made a Half Life game, but Halo.
Oh man, it is too bad they haven't made a Street Fighter game, but Halo.
Oh man, it is too bad they haven't made a Rock Band game, but Halo.
Oh man, it is too bad they haven't made a Resident Evil game, but Halo.

Those games would be so awesome!

OH wait, I already have those games, and I like them... Where did I get the Idea that they would be good as Halo games?

Oh right, I like those games, and I really like Halo. SOOOOOOOOOOO logically, making any game I like, but Halo, would make the best game ever!!!

NO, ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS IS...*cough* *cough*... Let's just say, they need to go back to eating paint chips.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME GROUP INVITATIONS

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I would like it to be Spartans vs. Elites, not Spartans, Marines, Grunts, Hunters, etc. (though an NPC controlled hunter pair or Cyclops pair would be nice call-ins; they could follow you around and help you until you die).

The Hunter/Cyclops thing is a good idea....

Hunter stats
Height: 12 foot
Melee attack: Super dense Arm shield
Firearm: Fuel Rod Beam

Cyclops stats
Height: 11 foot
Melee attack: Hydrualic powered titanium "arm"
Firearm: Arm-mounted chaingun

The Cyclops/Hunters come in 2's btw.
