I once thought Nintendo was the best gaming company. Then Sony and after that Microsoft. Now I know each system is the same and the we should all unite as one whether we are Nintendo Nerds, Sony Geeks or Microsoft Fanboys. Under the real Ruler VIDEO GAMES!!!

They should make a big flat map where you can fly Phantoms and Pelicans so we can truly go out with a bang.

Maybe remove points to buy weapons. Just make armories available over time, like after 2 min. or something.

  • 10.06.2010 6:48 PM PDT

No one answer my question, has bugnie said anything about this. I wouldt buying this as a dlc

  • 10.06.2010 9:31 PM PDT

Paintball is awesome!!!!!
Check out My youtube Channel

Yea I would create a brand new map of my choice I already have it in my head and it looks awsome

Spartans never die... they just revert to last checkpoint.

make it spartans vs Elites, and instead of HEVs you can fly/ride in phantoms/falcons. get rid of the weapon shop, but the ability to call in weapon drops, vehicle drops, target locator type bombardments, bblah blah blah. once the kill limit is reached you have to invade the enemy corvette and wrck it up/steal the loot. covenant get a gravlift to ride down from their ship, spartans can armor lock and jump out like chief (and 6 i guess). ugghh i hate laptop keyboards.

can't believe nobody made this idea b4.

But i think it would be a long game and should be worth more credits. Ex: like lets say a normal game takes 10 min, and you get 1000 credits. this game would take 25 min and you get 2000cr. just a suggestion. p.s. i don't know if you did but submit this into bungie for a reach update oh and also forgot it would also be cool to spend your points on weapon drops or ordenances

if bungie can pull off forge world then they could do this. It would be easy, forge world with no mountains an 2 ginormo- bases

Spartans never die...They just go missing in action.

I am all for this game type but you should be able to call in more than vehicles from pelicans like if you save up 200 points (20 kills) you could call down a squad of marines

Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: Reach, ??? It cannot be the end to this Epic story. old accounts spawn69erzz@hotmail.com and Juggernaut0690@hotmail.com-msn deleted this one<---

"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."

The Xbox 360 has a 100mb connection while the PS3 has 1gb connection. I own both the new Xbox 360 slim and PS3 fat and i play MAG :P

p.s originally owned the 20gig Xbox 360 back in the day so no fan boy crap plz lol.

How about,if covenent, instead of having loudouts you could have different species and THEN sub classes.

  • 10.07.2010 1:44 PM PDT

god i've love to roll with a party of 20 lol

  • 10.07.2010 1:46 PM PDT

Cool story bro. seriously though it might be fun

  • 10.07.2010 1:50 PM PDT

how about this: one unsc FRIGATE and one covie corvet more points equals more guns BUT you use ordinance pods like in Halo 2 instead. possibly a smaller version of a 7v7 with pelican and phantom on a smaller perfect map, but instead of loadouts you get ordinance pods dropped. btw this thread gave me a blamgasm

  • 10.07.2010 8:12 PM PDT

Sure why not? Halo multiplayer is missing the large battlefield experience. Sure invasion is nice but I mean I'd like to feel like I'm apart of an army and not a little squad.

  • 10.07.2010 8:25 PM PDT

"Spartans never die they're just missing in action"

if that mode existed i think id have something happen in my pants

  • 10.07.2010 10:36 PM PDT

I love the idea but want to see what bungie's opinion is. It'd be awesome to see some maps try to create this idea that work and can be expanded on making it even more awesome.

Bungie your input is needed!

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.


yes, this would be awesome. The only trouble I could see is it stealing away to many players from regular matchmaking.

I love the idea but i don't think their servers can handle that many peoples in one lobby.

Instead of actually buying stuff to control to defeat an enemy ship, it should be automatic and a hope for a best thing.

  • 10.07.2010 10:49 PM PDT

hahahaha this would never happen i think it would be fun but it would lag and people would get frustarated.
