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.

The best defense is a good one.

20vs20 is not an option

  • 09.19.2010 1:37 PM PDT

This is a good idea. I can't think of much to change, and all of the other suggestions nailed it. All I can think is that maybe there should be exclusive special weapons and vehicles just for this game mode, and there should also be variants with more than 20 per team.

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 love that Idea.

Still can't get my UA Multi-Threat MJOLNIR Mark V(B) Armor to unlock properly, if you can help, send a PM

reminds alot of titans From battlefields 2142, i would rather see 2vs2 battle in space with those awesome fighters

  • 09.20.2010 7:06 AM PDT

Eh the way this game is played I don't think it would work out very well. Everyone would just sit back and snipe...

  • 09.20.2010 7:20 PM PDT

Cory Beall (receding)

it would be a great objective based mode. kinda like a massive assault mode or something, its a good idea, lol. kinda huge but great,

  • 09.20.2010 9:05 PM PDT

DesolateTaco

its a very interesting idea! like you said there could be a few adjustments but overall i like it!

  • 09.20.2010 9:58 PM PDT

11,111 votes just now lol.

  • 09.20.2010 10:45 PM PDT

Good idea. Wouldn't hurt or damage anyone or anything.

Support and I voted 'yes'.

  • 09.20.2010 11:27 PM PDT

awhile back i saw a post about having the option to spawn into bases,. and i wanted to add, maybe you would have to builld the base,(not with forge) like with your points, and then if you waited you would see pelicans placing pieces of the base on the ground until its done, and then you would be able to update it, like in halo wars, so for example if i have a basic base, i could add a second floor, then after that i could add a hanger, or, i could build barracks, which would just be a room full of spawnpoints. any thoughts on this?

How about this idea?
The game begins with multiple pelicans coming in on seperate sides of the map, which will, as you said, utilize every asset in the game (it would have to be newly made, and you'll se why). You land and ordnance pods come in where you go to choose your class, which can be switchet at any time. Go a little further inward and you encounter a large fortress, which there is one outwards only shield entrance, and there must be no aircraft. To knock out the first phase, you have to break down several generators (generator defense), and swarm inside, capture two key areas inside (territores), plant a bomb in the very center, which would be like the second level in the very middle of it, and get out. The whole building would crumble and eventually dissapear, and after that it would be sweeping up. Slayer to 200. If the defenders win the slayer, they win the match, If the attackers win, then they get to load up in the pelicans, ride back to their original spawn, and go on home, while the losers watch from a very precise cinematic angle.

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

New Loadouts come with the Big Team Battle. Jus' two though.

Spartan Loadout - Infiltrator
Armor Ability:
Active Camouflage
Grenades: 0 Frag Grenades
Main Weapon: Shotgun
Secondary Weapon: Magnum

Elite Loadout - Field Marshall
Armor Ability:
Armor Lock
Grenades: 4 Plasma Grenades
Main Weapon: Concussion Rifle
Secondary Weapon: Energy Sword

You can put negative things, but put it lightly.

You know the funny thing is that it sounds like you took Battlefield Bad Co., COD MW2 and Star Wars Battlefront and forced them to have a weird, mutated child.

WTF?

  • 09.22.2010 6:59 AM PDT

wow 20 on 20 sounds great but they arent just gonna let us have the best map(s) ever for free im guessin about 800 msp max but, hey why dont we just make it within forge world it wont be 20 on 20 but still we could make a drop ship and i have some basic ideas already from halo 3 i help make a map called odst drop its (kinda) easy to build if anyone wants to see it and save it friend request me gt:Firestorm4594 but the only flaw is that you wont gain points like in matchmaking but still cool idea

  • 09.22.2010 1:32 PM PDT

yes

If this was a Gametype, I would play it every god damn day, forever.

  • 09.22.2010 2:17 PM PDT

dope idea. and to all the naysayers, at least give a reason why. simply coming in and saying, dounds bad, or i dont like it. say why. that way your input can be considered valid and not as a troll.

  • 09.22.2010 4:24 PM PDT

This is an absolutely awesome idea. Gets the kinks worked out and then go for it Bungie!!!
