Okay i really hope bungie sees this idea,its better than all the reach beta games put together.You could even add elephants.BUNGIE PUT THIS IN THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!;)


Have you even played the Beta...

This is a great idea, does anyone know if they added it into the game?


How in the world could they have put this into it, when they're already done with the game? They probably have no idea about this forum ( I mean this particular thread that has to do with this gametype, that could be acclompished, but perhas maybe as a mod)

This would be a game type i would play everyday with my friends it would be AMAZING!!!!

Reach is 100% perfect, and the single most competitive game since Candyland. Anyone who dares question the godly powers of Bungie is obviously just bad at Halo.

Seems like a decent idea, but why not make it a 4v4 on a map like The Pit (pretty much a perfect map) where you get a bomb at 30 kills. Just sayin, BTB is really only good for cinematic action, not good gameplay

I would say "You've been playing too much Battlefield 2142!" but its actually a good idea. I like it.

  • 07.19.2010 4:07 AM PDT

what if the map would go from day to night if the game lasted for a long time but it would go sunset first or also what if there was weather but it was random like every once ina while you will be in a game where its raining or you could be in a game were its snowing. thats just one idea how about the ability to score points to buy land mines and it would take 10 seconds to lay them mabey it would take like 30 pts per land mine or what about a base for each side that contains weapons,vehicles,grenades,and more but what if each base took damage like if the other team gets a certan amount of points they could call in an attack that could take away base life or if your team gets a certan amount of points they could activate sheild generators for there base.

I think the gamemode is a little confusing. But Ill be glad if Bungie put in a backwards version of Invasion with Spartans vs Elites. In the weekly update they mentioned a falcon flying up to a balcony of a tower where someone with the core jumped onto the falcon and they flew away. Probably the elites stole the falcon but you never know. Mayhaps Bungie saw this thread as its been around forever and made a Spartan vs Elite game of assault in which the Spartans receive weapon drops.

this is magical. i tried to make something simmilar to this(diidnt copy at all didnt even know about this until now) but nobody liked it.

"As the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"
"We've all been lost for most of our lives every where we turn more hatred surrounds us"

I really would like to play this gametype!

The one thing you desire most in this world is something you'll never get. My desire is love. So far, my desire follows the phrase to the letter.

yeah this gametype would be my cup of tea. it would make me feel like an odst because i always download odst maps like pelicans and frigates and gametypes where you drop down in drop pods so this would be the only gametype id play, that and invasion

this is a great game mode for team based def and off games but i wonder if a sort of a CTF game incoulding pelicans one player has the pelican and is stuck and his job is driving back and forth getting comrades and/or being the pelican as cover or offence (ram) of course some way to make it idiot proof

  • 07.19.2010 3:05 PM PDT

Most of the comments say its great, the topic is also pinned, but they probably won't ship this game type with the game, i hope to god that it will be like DLC 3 weeks later and you get something special for it, because its amazing.

Well, hi there! I am MedicMan1217! As you can plainly see, I am a medic. I am part of the Arctic Team and am the medic for the team. We specialize in Halo: Reach Firefight, Campaign, and occsionally Matchmaking. I have no other news so far, so... see ya!

I <3 the idea but the pelican dropship idea has got to be the best idea of it all. It's like a friend putting a warthog on his Falcon and dropping it off, but on the belly and instead its a Pelican and it takes a while. It would be more realistic if the Pelican pulled out of the map if you weren't at the landing zone. It would be perfect for Invasion Slayer too.

<3 Pelican Drop FTW!!!

UEG First strike D3

never cheat, never lie, UEG til i die.

POINTS, not so much. maybe if it ran on the rules of invasion where the farther you progress, the more weapons and AA you unlock. i like the idea of the vehicle drop, but its basically like MW2 kill streaks where you get dropped a care package. i agree on the drop pods where you hit your action button to enter and then your dropped right into battlefield in the middle of the action. if you ask me, it should be a spartan vs elite kinda thing.
spartans can either drop from pods,or take a falcon down every 90 seconds or so, and and elites can either take drop pods down, or a spirit every 90 seconds. when you spawn, you could have like 1 minute before you have to leave the frigate/cruiser that you could look around for weapons and armor abilities placed on the map, in random spots every game.
if you take a drop pod,you would placed in the middle of the battlefield instantly, and once you pod opens, you will be face to face with the enemy in the ruins of a city or forest or something.if you took a falcon/spirit, it would take you about 30 seconds to touch down in the back outskirts of the map. you wouldn't see much action unless you moved up, but you would have access to vehicles, turrets, and snipers. you would be in a base up on open hills that cant be entered from the outside, and you would have to walk all the way(or jetpack ;) ) to the main battle. you also wouldn't be able to kill until you left the base. both bases would be on opposite sides of the map.
once you get to 10 minutes the frigate touch the ground and the cruiser activates a lift and you can now leave straight from a cargo door/lift. you also get to use the banshees/ falcons for air combat now.
to win the game, you could get the bomb at 200 points and plant it in the heart of the ship. it would take 20 seconds to detonate, and the enemy will still spawn in the ship, in a room(theres more than 1 room) with a few weapons and AA lying around. it would be easy to get the bomb out of the ship, with a 5 second disarming time.it is hard to get the bomb onboard the ship because its holder is slower and cant shoot or use their AA, but with enough support, you can protect him/her, arm the bomb, and defend it long enough to blow up the ship.

another way to win would be to capture their frigate. if the ships touch the ground but you do not have a bomb yet, you could make your way into their frigate, go into a wide open room, and stand in a small territory for 1 whole minute to capture their ship and win the game. when in the ship, the enemy will spawn on the ground near their ship's entry point. they must go in the ship and kill the enemies out of your ship.the clock does not restart when you leave the territory so if you kill someone out of the territory after 20 seconds, they only have to stand in it fr 40 more seconds. also, once your team gets a bomb, the doors to the opposite team's territory is closed and anyone left inside is killed.

instead of their being a weapon shop their could be armor abilities you unlock and you could have tohe option of giving your teamates the armor ability for one life or you get it for the rest of the game and the armor ability should be random

Were It So Easy

sounds pretty awesome

Okay i really hope bungie sees this idea,its better than all the reach beta games put together.You could even add elephants.BUNGIE PUT THIS IN THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!;)


Have you even played the Beta...

This is a great idea, does anyone know if they added it into the game?


How in the world could they have put this into it, when they're already done with the game? They probably have no idea about this forum ( I mean this particular thread that has to do with this gametype, that could be acclompished, but perhas maybe as a mod)


This was posted before they even got to ZBR. Plus they check the "top forum topics" for stuff, and this is one of them.

I very much doubt that Bungie would have seen this ridiculous thread, with this extremely outrageous game type (that could never be pulled off on an xbox 360, even with an extreme amount of dedicated servers) Have any of you ever even played the game MAG? It has extremely horrible lag, and this gametype you're talking about has like what, 20v20 slayer? With dropships, ODST drop pods, phantoms, pelicans, falcons, spirit dropships, sabre/ longword jet fighters and many other vehicles and weapons, crammed into a single map. I highly doubt that even the modding and coding masters at Bungie could pull that off in a single map (without hacking and modifying the map and the base code of the map [and everybody having dev kits]) So, my (most likely very young) friends, I hope that this will disuade you from thinking that this highly illogical gametype shall ever come to fruition on a console game (or atleast it will never be on matchmaking...)

Most likely one reason this is in the "top forum topics" is because this is almost a year year old. nearly all of them are a year, or over. The only one that I've found that isn't nearly a year old is Halo:Reach - The Armor You'll Be Wearing This Fall!

  • 07.19.2010 9:06 PM PDT

Isn't.. Isn't this the skeletal form of Invasion?

This actually sounds absolutely amazing.

World at War: 9/10
Modern Warfare 2: 6/10
Black ops:9/10
Halo Reach: 77777777777777777777777777777....

the problem with communication could be fixed with the squad system, but a squad leader is appointed, who has full radio contact with other squads. normal squadmates could communicate with another squad via proximity chat, but with a larger radius than halo 3's, possibly 50 meters, depending on the size of the map. otherwise, i love your idea, and it reminds me of an idea i had a while ago, but i wont go into it.

anyways, back to the squad communication, say if the squad leader was shot, the squad would be stranded off communication until their leader returned.

because of this maps immense size, the communication would be a squads only knowledge of the battlefield besides where they are. it works like a tree, where its formed:

Squad member Squad member Squad member
Squad Leader
Commander(?)

the groups can only communicate with their adjacent people, so members would have to convey a message to another squads leader THROUGH their leader. this would diversify gameplay and make for a more immersive experience.

i know now itssounding like an RTS, but i love your thinking and i wish that bungie were able to create something like it in reach but i highly doubt it.

Listen up! Last Friday, (July 16th) The weekly update stated that there is a 'New Game Mode' in Halo Reach. It could be this 20 Vs. 20 game or it could be something different. Who knows?
