Subject: Idea for firefight *update say what you think yes or no!*

A wise man once saw a weed struggling to grow under a rock, one month later he returned to see the weed flourishing, only to put the rock back on top of the weed (dooming it), when his his advisors asked why he he simply exclaimed; "That was its fate."

Think.

What after every round you could spend some of the points you eared on re-enforcements, from vehicles to marines assistants, to guns and ammo and more being dropped in by a pelican. you could order certain weapons and ammo at any given time.(picture those flyover dropoffs like in halo2) I'm unsure of this idea but maybe you could buy an extra life for like 10000 points

EDIT: I'm saying you order ANYTHING human to be dropped in from a pelican in fire fight right after you beat a round, to clear up any confusion, you can buy other osdts, and sometimes scorpians on huge vehicle maps, but no elephants (uness there is a map that specificaly supports them, they'd then have an enormous price). THERE IS A CAP ON HOW MANY OF EACH THING YOU CAN BUY (depends on the map) All at a little bit high price (so poeple wont abuse it)

Note that if implemented this would not replace bungie's "weapon room," instead, going along with it.

From what I've heard the weapon room, replenishs every round but only with the basics 2-3 automags and smgs, a health pack or two, thats it. That way the bad players who don't earn many points can go to the weapon room and keep on going a little bit and not die from not having ammo, while the good players can reap the rewards.

one last thing, you can only spend the points you individualy earned in this, unless you get permission from the rest of the team to use part of the main stock pile

tell me what do you think

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

That would be pretty good, except you wouldn't want it too easy, for example if you got enough points for a Scorpian Tank, Nothing could really kill you :/
Unless you ment just Warthogs, Weapons and Marines. That'd be great!
I like this Idea :)

To check out my other screenshot works, join SAS Halo3 to find my other works. Also hit up my homepage to get the latest info on screenshots and more. To request work be done on your shots, just send me a PM and I'll get to you ASAP. But it'll be faster to join SAS ; )

No. You fight as a group, you die as a group.

what does that have to do with any thing?

I think yes but u shouldn't points score cause what if some -blam!- in matchmaking joins the game and spends it on like bubble shields and weapons and stuff nobody wants.although they could add a kick feature for the host if someone does that.

I think he means like a WAW feature where you would buy weapons and stuff from the walls, except I guess you would have to buy it from a PDA and a pelican would drop the Weapons/ vehicles/ Troops into the battle field.

I personally would let the marines take the vehicles, that way if there is any lag the AI would be able to kill the Covie AI without having to think about lag.

I would also like to have a MAC cannon if you get a lot of points, and to be able to donate points would be awesome aswell.

What they buy doesn't affect the teams score, their indavidual score is the only thing that is deducted from. (MAYBE, the others whos mates spent all there total money, have thier team score unaffected by this)

MantallKing

Yeah that might be cool but I would have to see it first because it might make it 2 hard or even 2 easy

Check Out my FileShare.
I was once on Bungie Faves. (Feb.7-15)
I'd like to know why I can't see the signatures of others of myself on the forum. I have made favs once, 7777 campaign kills, and I helped bring modders down when they were at their strongest

Guess what this ain't CoD!!!!!!
