Beautiful idea, but I would expect that it's far too late to do something like this. Perhaps Bungie could either add this as DLC or put it as a kind of "mini-sequel" but have it as a multiplayer-only-based game like Battlefield 1943. This could just straight up be the only mode. This seems like something so large that it would require that it be the only mode on this downloadable game.

I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

Fantastic idea, but I think there's WAYYYYYY to much to try and cram into one game mode.

Maybe if it ran off of a second disc...

The only think I don't like about this is that you can buy new weapons,halo is the best game because everybody respawns with the same weapons so I would avoid that credit system also for calling vehicles

Ok, first of all I would like to say that this is a new game mode, not the entire multiplayer experience. It gets it's own special spot on the main menu, along with forge and theater. This game mode would have to have large teams, probably like 20 vs 20, and it would only be possible with dedicated servers, due to lag.

So this is how the game begins. I can't find the thread for it but somebody came up with the idea of spawning in a UNSC cruiser(or a Covenant one) and entering the battlefield with a HEV. I like this idea. So the game starts off with both teams in a UNSC cruiser. You have to find a HEV pod and go down to "The Perfect Map"

"The Perfect Map" is a map, imo, that utilizes everything. That means every weapon, and vehicle. That means that the map must have large open areas for snipers, vehicles ect... but, it must also have tight areas where the shotgun would be the best weapon, and everything in between. It would be a hard map to make but I believe Bungie would be able to pull it off.

When you enter the map you will start off with normal team slayer. The score will be 200. Once you're team scores 200 kills, you will be given a bomb, and you must finish up the game with a game of assault. However you will ONLY be given the bomb if you reach 200 kills. If blue team has 200, but red team only has 150, then the red team won't be given a bomb. Once red team also get 200, the get their own bomb.

Now there has to be a few twists. A big one I think would be adding Campaign scoring. so every time you kill somebody you get points, and you get more points when you get medals. Now obviously these points can be used for bragging rights, but maybe they can do more. Ok lets say you were doing really good, you just got a killing frenzy, but you died. You have a lot of points, because you got 10 kills, and not to mention the medals. So you spawn in the cruiser, but instead of going straight down, you go to a weapons shop. With those points you can buy a secondary weapon. Now I bet the thing I just said probably made 50% of the Halo Reach forum's population get mad, but just bare with me. These weapons would be expensive, so even though you got 10 kills, maybe you only have enough points for a Battle Rifle, or Carbine. In order for you to get a sniper, you would have to have way more points. However to keep it fair you can only buy 1 weapon at a time, so you can't go down with a sniper and rockets. Don't worry though, there will still be weapons on the map.

Now if you have been reading this far and aren't mad at me, you might like what's next. Ever been in the position where you need a vehicle, except you can't find one. Well I think we should be able to call in vehicle drops, from a pelican. You would obviously call in the drops using your points. So lets say I called in a pelican to drop me a mongoose. I would have to hold my position, for 30 seconds, until the pelican comes. If I die, the pelican will come anyway, and drop the vehicle, anybody would be able to take it.

So that is the basic of the mode I am thinking of. Obviously there are problems with this idea, like communicating with a team of 20 but people have said a squad system might work. So yeah, this is my idea, and tell me what you think.


PLEASE READ
Oh and if you want to see everyone's idea's, go to page 8 and go to AbruptArc's post. Also I highly recommend you guys look at Half Demon ANBU's post on page 10. I would post them, but I don't have enough room. Ok, I have gotten a lot of post saying I've copied this idea from Section 8, and I would like to say I didn't. I had no idea what Section 8 was when I made this thread. I just found out about it when someone mentioned it a couple of pages on, and I then googled it. I watched some gameplay videos and all I found similar was dropping from orbit(in Section 8, it's more like the sky). And so I am sorry if this idea isn't "New" enough for you guys. Next time I make a thread about a new idea, I'll make sure no other game has ever done it before.


Hey you can't find the post because it was mine and I changed my email so it got erased from bungie.net thank you for re-posting it and getting it so many views and votes.

why not have it so if you get 300 points (30 kills) you get a scarab (covinant team) walk across the back of the map and into the playing area and that person gets to drive it or if your UNSC you get a vulture

This is a great idea for something new for halo and the 360. Bungie please consider this for DLC or something. One more thing Halo NEEDS SERVERS!

Snipe to love and love to snipe

I love this idea, it would be like "uber team slayer" or "uber objectives

  • 07.14.2010 8:32 PM PDT

Wow!This is like the best idea on the fourms!I would love it!I think that if the HEVS got hit with a charge shot from the plasma pistol,they spin out of control and land it random places,like if you land in the water,it slowly rises,and eventully kills you if don't get out in time.And maybe you should be able to destroy the pelicans when they come in,and the vehcile will drop,and maybe earn you some splatters.And maybe it should only be 10v10,cause 20v20 would cause to much lag.I love most the ideas and halo reach would be even better with this in it

why not have 5 of each team in a mothership and you have to ask them for air support and when the pelican or phantom comes down that person is driving it (but the player who calls it needs the points for it) same for my other idea for the scarab or vulture but they are easyer to kill cos there are 15 people trying to gun it down with turrets and rockets ect

Deffinately better than my idea o_O

  • 07.15.2010 12:05 PM PDT

This is a creative idea and i think it is a good one. When you said that the game would turn to assault after 200 does that mean that each team would have a base? Also stupid question, is this elites v Spartans? I'd think the team should builds credits as a whole (although some idiot probably would spend the credits) The unlocking aspect of the game reminds me of -blam!- Zombies. I love the idea of vehicle drops.cause a team of 8 can get 100 kills in like 12 minutes. I'd say about 250 to 300 max kills. And one more idea for you that i rather like, lets say red team brings the bomb to the blue base and it explodes, instead of ending the game right there, the blue team gets a set amount of lives per player(1 or 2). It is kind of a last stand where the blue team gets a bomb and has to bring it to the reds, or go get a flag, or territory[s](in a set time limit or if the blue run out of lives the game is done) and if blue succeeds then the assault round starts over effectively saving the blue from defeat. But if there is a second round of assault it will have a time limit to make sure this game isn't too long and first detonation in second round wins. hahah i guess this would only be for hardcore halo fans

I fear that since Invasion was based off of this idea, and Bungie hasn't said anything about Invasion leaving, we may never see this game in Halo Reach. However, I still believe that such a great idea should not be forgotten, dismissed, or distorted. It is an excellent gametype that I will always remember regardless of if it actually makes it into Halo Reach, is released as DLC, or never comes to be.

  • 07.15.2010 5:19 PM PDT

this game mode would be epic; the only things i did not like was the buying of weapons. Perhaps just a weapons cache similar to invasion.

  • 07.15.2010 8:20 PM PDT

What the blargh!?

i deffenetly agree with the op here all the way
