i could make prototype map on halo 3 forge



"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.



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.[/quote]

Awesome

Reminds me a little of bad company. Sounds good.

Fantastic. But how cool would it be if when you dropped you pod would make a hole, or if it hit a building, smash some of it.


Kinda like bad company 2? how you can destroy buildings?

  • 08.18.2010 5:29 PM PDT

really you couldnt have buildings be destroyed... im guessing you realize that but bunjie does not have that great of a gmame engine. but this wouldve been a leet gametype

And maybe the higher your rank, the better weapons are avalible to you?


no, that could make the game unfair...people who play every second possible, or people who play when they should, to the extent that ts still healthy...just wouldn't work

More like Red Faction: Guerilla, where you can blow holes freely, and destroy buildings as you like ;)

You are a genious!!! Great idea this is awesome!

Yeah, I see the problem with that now.

  • 08.18.2010 11:15 PM PDT

yea, that could lead to a lot of complaints

  • 08.19.2010 11:00 AM PDT

Yeah no doubt. Plus, if it was ranked by wins/losses, some people could be good at it with bad teams, etc. So that they wouldnt rank up.

It's a great idea.

I would change, as you anticipated, the part where we go and buy weapons with our points. Inside the Cruiser, there are numerous weapon stashes locked in chain-linked fences that become available every time you get a certain number of kills.

Each weapon stash, depending on how easy it is to unlock, would hold specific weapons (the stash that requires 100 points would hold ARs, Maulers, SMGs, and Frag Grenades. The last one that requires 100,000 points would hold a Spartan Laser, a few Swords, and a Missile Pod) These are just examples.

Ex. You get 10 kills (as you said) and imagine those 10 kills scored you 100 points. In order to open the first chain-linked fence to get to the first weapon stash, you need 150 points. Once you have 150 points, you can walk up to any of the stashes that require 150 points or less to unlock, and unlock it.

You bring up some good ideas.


I like the idea, in general, but you and the OP are forgetting about a little thing called the snowball effect. Lets just say it doesn't play too well in shooters.

(People who are doing good get rewarded for doing good, allowing them to do even better. People who are doing poorly dont get rewarded, and get farther behind. Kinda like the US Economic System)

ENRAGED PILLOWS...if that's not original, idk what is...

Instead of the points system. How bout when a team scores 50 kills, A pelican drops a large crate down on the base. Filled with certain weapons. Kinda like the weapon drops in Invasion.

yea but in invasion they just appear, it'd be nicer to have REAL pelican drops...and back to the newer idea, better choosing the weapons

Such Foul Words In Such Small Boy...

hmm 20 VS 20 = 40 Players... I think that is a great new thing for the halo experience

Question Mark?

the xbox cant do that, even with dedicated servers. Only 16 or 18 people at a time.

I bet you bungie will find a way.

  • 08.19.2010 7:19 PM PDT

I'm sure there's a way....if they can support a billion normal games at the same time, i think they can support 20v20

No, they won't, because they have no reason to do that.

Yeah, I bet they could.

Awesome idea, but why would this need to have it's own spot on the Main Menu. All it is is a combination of Team Slayer and Assault with a few other changes. And as for the perfect map thing, it could be its own map that will work with any gametype, and the special gametype could work on any map, but they are recommended to be used with each other. There's no reason why they couldn't be a normal map & gametype.
