you should be able to do matchmaking on forge. so people can host their own custom games, with people outside their friends list.

Nice, but also how about space battle with the UNSC and Covenant cruiser, with Sabres and so on. You must defend your cruiser when ground teams are fighting to deliver their bomb.

I don't know if the 360 could handle massive online games like MAG. Maybe it could do 20v20 but I heard that PS3 beats 360 in processing power or something like that.


That has little to nothing to do about it.
In comparison, Delta Force Land Warrior, which i played back in the day on a single-core pc with a GPU speed of 800mhz, could run 64(!!!) players in a single match.

One of the most limiting things for an online experience like that, is bandwidth.

The orientation, direction and position of a character in Delta Force was easy enough to transmit. It was only the characters and their bullets that transferred online.

Halo: Reach is a totally different beast. Think about it. It allows 16 players, online, to run a game where every single player can be in a physics-driven vehicle that is up-side-down. Simultaneously. At the same time, every player might die from explosions, and lose all their gear in beautiful arcs.

All of these physichs needs to be syncronized for all players, all the time, no matter where in the map you are.

Even if two people duel in the hangar on forge world, while 14 people duke it out on hemorrage, the duelling 2 players can still open their replays afterwards to see excactly what was going on on the other side.

Without dedicated servers, that's a tough task to do. Without dedicated servers, you'd have too many people whine about lag without understanding what it is, and that it affects everyone, not just them.

Would it be awesome with 16 vs 16 on hemmorage? absolutely!
would it be worth it, financially, for bungie to try and pull it off? not so sure.

my 5 cents

"Brigands demand your money or your life; women require both."

Would it be a good idea to have the points thing also include team points. Such as if your team earns lets say a total of 20,000 points you unlock a new ship or new upgrades to ships, bases etc?

Go play bf 2142

yeah it seems like it would be a great idea but i think that b4 you drop in you choose your load out type and you cant change it but leave weapons and stuff on map. but of course you'd have to cap how many of 1 set up could be used because you dont want the entire other team carrying nothing but lets say rocket launchers. and the idea of dropping in supplies by calling it in and having to hold until they drop is awesome. this would be an awesome game mode if it ever gets made and just hearing massive teams makes me freak out im a strict beleiver in the bigger the teams the better because its more hectic.

Oooh, rockets, we like rockets

Id pay 160 msp for this

  • 09.30.2010 8:22 AM PDT

its basikly evry online multiplayer players DREAM of a game mode like that but your the one ho decided to put it into a detailed dream that people want even moar. a litle addishion though wold have 2 CARRIERS so you need the bomb to kill the other carrier.and there can be certain aerias/outposts that have special feachures (mac/plasma cannon controll, shotsword/seraph controll, pelican/phantom controll) so people are incuraged to hold these aireas and have moar tactical gameplay. plus you cold choos HOW to spawn(drop pod, pelican OUTPOST like i just listed,they could even bring elephants back to spawn people and mongooses on). other than that the mode is perfect and i hope bungie agrees. also in hope this post is read ive thout of some names: war, battle, scirmish, mass combat, hevyweight fight.

  • 09.30.2010 8:58 AM PDT

but now that i have thout and read about it ( like mythic maps and odst) bungie shold just make a hole new disc for it.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing.

It's cool. I think I've already commented here like.. a million times, anyway - glad to see the thread is still rocking.

Shame that bungie don't give a rats ass about what the bungie is actually coming up with. Tired of being making up things that are amazing, yet noone cares to take it further than just an idea.

Add the ability to call in for a UNSC MAC round and a brief Covenant Glass from the respective ships and we've got a deal

Hey. Check out my Custom Content on my Service Record. It may not be truly awesome, but who knows. Something may catch your eye.

Definitely like this. This is what I've always wanted to play. And with halo, maybe spartans vs elites? We would definitely need squads, like maybe 4 person squads or so. It would be awesome. We should be able to control where our pod drops to an extent, so we could maybe just crash into a crowd of enemies and shake em up a little?...It would need to be hard to control, so that way people wouldn't just steer towards their power weapons.

I first saw mag and thought that was awesome, but then was terribly disappointed that you couldn't play it on xbox. So this would be sick. To bad this probably won't be implemented for a while, like maybe 10 games down the line...

Love the idea, I know I would be playing it constantly.
I was actually wanting something more intense than BTB, really hope Bungie looks into this.

  • 09.30.2010 2:21 PM PDT

We work in the dark to serve the light.

this is cool, but could i suggest making this an ongoing playlist that just goes on and on and is open to whoever joins

  • 09.30.2010 3:19 PM PDT

We are soldiers without borders, our purpose defined by the era we live in. This is our Heaven, and our Hell.

that is a great idea join when you feel like it leave whenever keep your points only problem is what happens if there are more elites than spartans say? hmmm..?

  • 10.01.2010 9:10 AM PDT

I agree with you ujjval16, Maybe they could make this mode like invasion with the whole Elites vs Spartans, I don't know, I could see everything you said working, when teams reach 200 kills, they have to take the bomb to the enemy ships core and destroy their ship or something. Without a dough this game mode would easily take a good hour.

Also another thing, not only buying weapons but perks as well.

"Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle."--23:5

I don't think Bungie will ever comment on a thread like this.

A game mode like that would be amazing. But entire games build their multiplayer experience on a single game mode like that. For Bungie to simply add it in to Halo would be an astronomical task (should I even mention that the majority, if not more than 75%, of Bungie's staff is already working on their new IP?)

But yes, someday, I would love to see a game type like this on an awesome game like Halo.
