20 on 20 would lag way to much have you ever played ground war on mw2 in the beginning it lags like crazy because it has two load the map and all of the profiles of the people playing the game so if you think of 40 people trying to play in one match plus all of the people who are in other games like that like 60 games would put a strain on the servers and if you think about that thats 2400 people in 60 games plus all of the maps. the map seems like its pretty big mabey about half of forge world so think about how much lag their would be and that's only a small fracton of the games that would be played think about if a million people were playing i bet about 1 fourth of people who are playing the game would be playig the game type its just not a good idea


reach was to test the connection of a non host system, this means that they CAN have game modes like this without lagg...

lets hope, but seriously....did you ever play Network Test 1? a.k.a. Generator Defense? in the beta, it died....wait, scratch that, what am i talking about....Invasion was much larger, than GD, and it had no lag, no worries, Bungie can definitely pull this off

  • 08.12.2010 9:35 PM PDT

I think it is a good idea but it would have to have some refining to it. That sorta reminds me of a game called section 8 if any of you have played it well, except for weapons on map. I wouldn't mind playing it but yeah, good idea overall

  • 08.12.2010 9:42 PM PDT

why can't i put up images :(

It was an OK game where the players spawn in a drop pod and can control it while it is dropping onto the map, sort of like an ODST.

And guys, this thread was from a year ago when all we had was a teaser trailer so of course we know that this gametype is not possible now.

  • 08.12.2010 9:53 PM PDT

My friend played it, like the other person said, drop pods that you spawn in, you get points (credits) per kill, streak, etc... and you could use it to buy turrets, vehicles and etc... to find it click here

holy -blam!- this topic has been alive for 1 year!

  • 08.12.2010 10:01 PM PDT

eh, well still...there's still hope for DLC....probs not but we can hope....no way Bungie hasn't seen this thread, its been on the most discussed for a long time

  • 08.12.2010 10:03 PM PDT

yeah true, i wish it does

  • 08.12.2010 10:11 PM PDT

hmm, section 8 looks like an interesting game, however, for this game mode, when you drop in, it is ONLY at the start of the battle, and most likely that you cannot move mid-air....however that would be nice...we want Halo: Reach to continue being a 1st person perspective game, so the drop....would be in first person, however you could allow your player to look around at the other pods dropping, make the head a little more mobile than in "Prepare To Drop" in ODST

Awesome Idea, However Thats A New Game.I Also Felt Its A MIx Of Couple Of Games I Know.

  • 08.13.2010 12:03 AM PDT

Where ever I go the Devil walks in my Shadow

I think that everyone should be able to get into a vehicle if you want a pelican lift but if you want a HEV drop then grab weapons and you will automatically be spawned inside one.

The idea seems awesome.

under the title "super invasion bomb assault slayer" or SIBAS for short

  • 08.13.2010 11:40 PM PDT

Life's a game, Halo's for real

I like this idea. and I would want it in matchmaking. Only I would change the score for the slayer part(phase 1) to be up to 150 kills.

A good name for the would be Tactical Phase.
They're 2 phases. The slayer phase where you have to have your team reach 150 kills.
And phase 2. Where your team has to plant the bomb.

3 problems with this

large teams, probably like 20 vs 20,

With those points you can buy a secondary weapon. maybe you only have enough points for a Battle Rifle, or Carbine.

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.


1) no way you could have 40 ppl playing in a single game. 20 ppl on ur team would be way to much ppl talking at once.

2) There is no battle rifle in Reach, and probably no carbine.

3) You said that there was EVERY weapon and VEHICLE on the map, so why would u call in a vehicle drop?

1. You can have 40 ppl with enough hardware.
EDIT: earlier someone mentioned cross-com with your team by using the d-pad. (go to page 1 for a context, this will show you key info on gametype).
2. Dmr and needlerifle
3. Strategy, if the other teams tank is mowing you down, bring one of your own.

Hmmm, i duno, maybe they could use some ideas from the PS3 game MAG?

  • 08.14.2010 8:06 AM PDT

yea love this idea. i always wondered if they would make a multiplayer experience were like if it was a real life battle situation (except for the weopon store)i just hope they make it though because i want to be a game designer when i get older and put it in my first game

Same, especially because this is a sticky thread, and just look at all the yes votes.
