As you progress throughout your life you realize that the older you get the closer your are to death, the only thing you cannot change.

My idea would be this:
A playlist in which 20 people enter into one game, 5 people are Spartans,and they each have 3 lives, the rest are covenant.
There would be four round of this to make it so everyone gets a chance to play as a Spartan.
There would be 15 minute time limit, and the teams would be named "Alpha Beta Charlie and Delta" whichever Spartan teams get the most kill points wins

In the 75% chance you would be playing as a Coveneant you get "points" these points allow you to become ceartin species. You would have 150 points, and the better the species the more points it takes up.
Drone/Engineer- 1
Grunt- 3
Jackal- 5
Brute -10
Brute Captain 15
Elite- 20
War Chieftan- 25
Elite Zealot-30
Brute Chieftan-35
Elite Honor Guard- 40
Hunter-50
Prophet(Only can spawn as him once)75

You would also be able to equip stuff onto each of the species for some points.

Drone Starts with Plasma pistol- Needler upgrade for 4 points

Grunt Starts with Plasma Pistol- Needler Upgrade for 2 points-Fuel Rod upgrade for 22 points

Jackal Starts with Plasma Pistol and a Weak shield- Carbine Upgrade for 10 points- Strong Shield Upgrade for 10 points- Beam Rifle Upgrade for 15 points

Brute- Starts with Spiker. Bubble Shield Equipment 5-Brute Shot/Mauler Upgrade-10 points Jumpack/Invisibility- 15

Brute Captain-Starts with Brute Shot, Mauler and Bubbleshield. -Fuel Rod upgrade-15 points, Stronger Shields- 10, Jumpack/Invisibility- 15

Elite- Starts with Carbine/Plasma Rifle- Stronger Shields/Temporary Camo- 15 point, -Energy Sword 20 points

War Chieftan- Starts with Plasma Turret- Fuel Rod Upgrade 5 points- Stronger Shields 10 points- Temp invincible- 5 points

Elite Zealot- Starts with Energy Sword and Plasma Rifle- Stronger Shield upgrade 5 points- Long lasting camo- Ten Points

Brute Chieftan- Starts with Gravity Hammer and Temp invincible equipment- Stronger Shields-10 Points- Fist of Rukt 15 points

Elite Honor Guard- Starts with Energy Sword and REALLY strong shields, as well as temp invisibility. -Strongest Sheilds upgrade 15 points -Dual Wield Energy Swords- 20 Points.

Hunter- Starts with Plasma Cannon- Partner Upgrade 15 points- Plasma Beam 20 points

Prophet- Starts with Cleansing Beam- Energy Shield Upgrade- 10 points Guard Upgrade- 15 points

Also throughout the course of the game the Covenant as well as the humans get stronger equipment Such As tanks, ghosts,Warthogs, as well as better weaponry on the map (like Beam Rifles for the Covenant, and Spartan Lasers for Spartans)

So what do you think of my idea?

Voilà!In view,a humble vaudevillian veteran,cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,is a vestige of the vox populi,now vacant, vanished.However,this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation,stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

so it is like firefight but we would control the giant covenant horde

Its kind of like L4D versus mode because you control special types of the enemy.

Prophet really should not be 100 because thats to much, I added upgrades to him which altogether total one hundred

Humans can purchase upgrades as well but before 5 minuts they can not because thats when Wraiths on the otherside Spawn.
Humans would get 42 points each and there upgrades would be
Overshield- 7 points
Spartan Laser-7 points(Reaload of shots for 2)
Active Camo- 7 Points
Extra Life(This can be bought when you run out of lives) 20 points

IMO the prophet should be the equivilent to the Tank in L4D because otherwise evry1 will just swarm the spartans with 15 prophets right away... and that wouldnt be good or by spawn once do u mean only one person can spawn as prophet?

Prophets would be balanced by not being able to attack inside a builing only in outside areas, unless they use a really weak gun they have(a strong Plasma Pistol)
