Ooh, I have another idea!

A giant space battle between the Covenant and the UNSC, and everyone playing it is in the same server! So there could be hundreds of thousands of space ships battling each other! Would take one powerful server to run though... Though it would be epic.

That a good idea but like you mentioned, would need the mother of all servers and their would have to be a limit on the amount of people anyways.

i really like ur idea but the only thing i didnt like was the weapons shop.

Bungie already made a map like that Forge world so they only have to make game type

Dude read page 131!!!! a lot different. But i think its better

  • 08.28.2010 12:40 PM PDT

Breasts, or remove thyself!

Love the idea, and by reading the first 20 or so pages, sounds like it could be a solid gametype. The only negative thing I can say is, (sorry if someone has already said it I didnt read everything lol) it sounds a little too much like a mix between invasion and invasion slayer, with significant twists of course. Either way you have my support!

DEFINATLY!!! I would personaly really like this cuase im a fan of HUGE battles. And i also have a different idea for the weapon drop stuff: on the acutal map (by which i mean your not on the crusier) there is little stations where you go up to them and press RB, (like the ODST video file station thingies) and you can pick a certain weapon pack (containing a primary, secondary, gernades, and a optional armor ability). The weapon packs are unlocked simalar to the way loadouts are unlocked in Invasion, where every time you got to a next phase or get a certain amount of kills you would unlock a loadout. Anyways i really like the idea, but i dont know what a "deticated server" is so if you or someone else could get back to me on that that would be great :D (i only read a couple of other posts before i posted this so if someone else already posted something like this i didnt steal the idea so yeah)

this kinda reminds me of star wars: elite squadren in a lot of ways. if you palyed it you know what i mean. i vote hell yes. (also, a start of a massive ship-on-ship engagement would be soooo good.)

Or you could have a 45 second time limit to leave the cruiser. Other wise you die, loose all your points from that round and it adds 5 seconds to your respawn time each time you do it. So next time you die you'll have about 8 seconds. And if you stay in the cruiser too long again, you'll be up at 13 seconds, and it builds from there on. Something like that so one team doesn't get tons of points and then hide in the cruiser.
Yeah another good idea. Like I said there are many problems with this idea, but there would always be an alternative.

EDIT: to the second part of your post, maybe your teammates can see the weapons, but they wouldn't be able to take them.

or there could be a menu u get by pressing up on the d pad that lets u call vehicles or wepond crate drops with points then u get a geranade and u can drop it on ur spot and smoke flys up ur team gets a waypoint and in x amount of time its dropped

Or, you hit right on the D-Pad (look at page 131 for 45 rules on this, one is about d-pad voice controls) then a menu opens up. You then scroll through the different ones and select it. you then fire pointing to the place you want it to land. A pelican then flies over dropping weapon pods(like the ones on halo 3). You then can pick up weapons, ammo, AA's and then health as well.

Jacktop!!!_

I think since this is such a big thread that many people have emailed bungie about this already. so i wouldnt be surprised if we saw this as an expansion pack one day.

  • 08.28.2010 11:13 PM PDT

sounds like a great idea lets hope bungie puts it in the game

Well it could be either 20v20 or 16v16, depends on the server capability.

Awesome idea for the wepons you should go with one person's idea and have them in weapons drops on the ground same with vehicles you should pull up a little menu with the use of the d-pad since it doesn't do much in the Reach multiplayer (as far as I have heard) but you should also be able to call in a box that as armor abilttes and only the person who called them should only be able to open them so your teammates can't steal them should be same with weapons too you should also be able to call in ammo drops as well. OH and I know that some off these idea are already posted so i do not take full credit for this post btu i am mearly restateing them. Also yeah should be spartans vs elites for sure.

i am not sure if some has already said this bc there is 134 pages of this so don't hound me. since we all know this thread is over a year old how do you know if this gametype your describing isn't invasion i mean it's so much like it that maybe bungie couldn't fit all of it into invasion.

  • 08.29.2010 10:23 AM PDT

I feel really stupid for asking this but what is an HEV i'm sorry to ask this but when it come to equipment he halo i only know the vehicles, weapons, and equipment so I don't know sorry.

  • 08.29.2010 10:38 AM PDT

Group is Soldiers of War, ask for invite if you're interested

It's a creative an unique idea, so I say go for it.

  • 08.29.2010 10:45 AM PDT

Save Cortana

this is a good idea, i like the idea of starting off in orbit then getting into a pod and holding the "b" button to launch yourself down. the only thing that i don't care for is the purchasing weapons option, it's too transformers escalation mode-y for me. weapons on the map and spawn weapons are good enough imo. and that number of kills sound a little high (mind you i love big team) and the time it would take may mean alot of people quitting out because the game is just going on forever. Maybe it should be 2 teams of 12 and squads of 6 (or 3) and lowering the kill count to 100 instead. (assault can take a while too ya' know?) other than those changes this sounds pretty cool to me!

  • 08.29.2010 10:46 AM PDT

Everyone just lost (the game). :O

would be funny if all of my team quits except me and this one dude at the start of the game and we win.... gonna be kinda like army of two

  • 08.29.2010 11:31 AM PDT

maybe the spartans could respawn in a unsc ship on one side and the elites respawn in a covenant cruiser on the other side

  • 08.29.2010 11:48 AM PDT

also there would be a hanger on each ship with pelicans on the unsc side and phantoms on the other (drivable)also for your shotgun idea you can just go in the other ship for some shotgun fun

Note my gamertag is msgt carlos.

See what your saying, im thinking they should just add a great amount of options in custom games to allow us to come up with all the crazy ideas. Death from above(pelican drop), guns for sale(points system for unlocking guns in-game), plus incoming support(calling in vehicle drops) options and so on would allow for complex mixtures of game types without bungie haveing to tailer everything in order to creat something new. It goes back to the idea of giving us the tools, just like what forge is all about.
