Subject: Would you like this new game mode

If you voted yes you are a little moron who knows nothing about the world outside of the USA.

Lag is absolutely atrocious in 6v6 with little 20ms ping kiddies who live next door to the server with 512kb/s internet while we're starving overseas with 400ms (even with a lobby full of people who ping great to each other and we still don't get host) yet with 20Mb/s and soon to be 100Mb/s, BUT PING COMES FIRST EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE ELSE LAGS.

This is highly unfeasible with such an atrociously laggy game and if you didn't know it was atrociously laggy then why are you voting on this game mode?

It's like section 8 only with people actually willing to play it.

This idea is awsome but it would definitly need some dedicated servers. I've got a few ideas!

When you kill people you accumalate your points. These should be used to buy things through a menu similiar forge.

The menu will have this categories

Weapons- You can oredr weapon drops via pelican so you have to hold your area and it is visble to the enemy.

Vechichles - Same as weapons but vechicle drop

Srtike- You can order ai special strikes e.g. Mac blast, Cove beam , call in a pelican/ phanton to guard an area for 30 seconds, sabre airstike etc...

Transport- Call in for a pick up then drop off at desired location by pelican/phantom or other drop ship. ( risky to fly to a dangerous area)

This one i think would be epic
Reinforcements - The squad leader can call in drop ships or drop pods with AI players ..e.g. grunts ,jackals, sniper jackals, marines, odst, elites/(UNSC equivalent)spartans.

The squad leaders can then command these AI squads
Asign them to follow another player
camp out an area (set up snipers)
(the AI will not assualt on there own but stay with the squad, and they behave similar to campaign AI)

If the UNSC had a Scarab equivalent then they could be thrown itno the mix aswell as a special strike. EPIC!!!

How to keep the action going! i think this game would work well in territories.

Have a few outposts that need to be captured and once held they accumalte score per second. At the outpost you can use points to buy destructable gates ,turrets, AA batteries and etc..
This i think would work very well and BUNGIE wherever you are should be investigating this! But in all faitness we need to trim it down and finalize it. Ujjval16 take this to the next step and start finetuning it so that all these ideas become one thing thats sipler to understand and doesnt consist of so many posts then maybe Bungie will red it :D

Honestly, it sounds epic. I would definitely enjoy this kind of gametype. It would have to be more than just one map, and I'm sure it could start as one and then Bungie could design another one, but I can see it being very fun. Call it Gigantic Team Battle.

As this is not my idea i wouldnt feel right to do this without permission but i think a group of 12 people should get together and start working on this concept and maybe some level designs so we can present it to bungiiie

  • 10.11.2010 7:06 AM PDT

I think they need a game mode playing as Brutes. Three games in a row having Elites as a playable character, but nothing with brutes yet. Possibly in a Juggernaut game variant, when your it you turn into a chieftain. That would be wicked.

i hear you i would love to be a brute and to go brute as an armor ability would be awsome. I think they should have some game mode where you can be a grunt too with an armor ability suicide ! They could have a brute side in this game mode to even out the covenant spread of troops for my reinforcements idea as humans really only have marines and odst and spartans compares to jackals, skirmishers, buggers, grunts , hunters , brutes, and elites.

  • 10.11.2010 7:37 AM PDT

I think its brilliant and the buying weopans part reminds me of waw -blam!- zombies so I think yes

  • 10.11.2010 8:55 AM PDT

Ignore my gamertag. It's actually Dragonzzilla.

Oh, those zombies

  • 10.11.2010 9:58 AM PDT

Bungie could make it and it would be awsome if a tad complicated to engineer I imagine. But I would love to play it as it's Halo and a good idea. But I must say I really didn't like Section 8 that much but for Halo and Bungie it might just work.

If this was encorperated into Firefight where I think it work better but.... BAM!...it becomes COD's zombies. But good ideas can be improved upon! Black Ops ZOMBIES!!!! :-)

Join the Halo Haven group!

then maybe on bungie day they could open it up 2 maybe 50v50 for the most epic game evr

  • 10.11.2010 11:58 AM PDT

I think its a great idea, I love reach because I feel in more in touch with the Halo universe and it gave me the feeling of me being in a war and not some bad Hollywood movie, and with this idea I may get the same feeling from campaign in multiplayer, not to get off topic but I would also like to see some space action similar to SW Battlefront 2 but in a unique Halo way, and not like some cheap clone.

Lol, clone, lol, wars.

  • 10.11.2010 1:33 PM PDT

On our own we are strong... but together we are invincible

i want this more than i want halo reach chess

SWBF2 waz like the most epic game made until H3 came out, so dont diss, i think it was very succesfull but maybe the star wars bit did push people back a bit, the space battles could be a good template to copy onto REACH

  • 10.11.2010 2:27 PM PDT

That. Is. THHEE BESSTT idea EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bungie, Please do us a favor and make this playlist!!!

love it :D

  • 10.11.2010 6:17 PM PDT

Ok BAD IDEA.... Bungie isnt just going to screw up THEIR game with some probably noob infested gametype that wold lag everyone with a downstream rate of less than 20mb straight out of the game use forge!!!! make a custom game ok?

  • 10.11.2010 6:31 PM PDT

But then again that would be LageingHEaven.Right???

  • 10.11.2010 7:35 PM PDT

this is like its own multiplayer! i could see this as a doublexp or double cR kind o thing or 7 on 7 idk its iffy

  • 10.11.2010 7:42 PM PDT

Check out my file share

The game doesn't all that fun, but the scoring and buying weapons is a good idea. As far as calling in vehicles, sounds quite a bit like the care package don't you think?

  • 10.11.2010 8:34 PM PDT

I dont see why it matters if its a tiny bit similar to a care package...both COD and halo are FPS games, they are both going to have similar ideas considering Halo is basically COD, but set in the future and much better and more diverse. So why does it matter if drops are like care packages?

God that would be epic one of my most hated things in campaign isn't you have no control over the Ai's, so I love the idea of have tactical command over squads, I've also wanted tobe able to call in vehichle drops from a pelican, completely specificly that. And the idea of air strikes is freaking awesome too. And I love the little home base idea with the covenant and UNSC rcuisers, so that it would be alot like being and ODST. This type of game has so many ways to be worked to be the most epic game mode in REach. Brilliant idea and a ton of Brilliant ideas. I also think that it would be awesome if they had a map corrosponding with everything here, but in space like the sabre mission in the campaign. I.E. invasion of attacking a covenant corvette in reverse attacking a UNSC cruiser.

  • 10.12.2010 9:42 AM PDT

bungie really needs to get in on this and start workin with makin this gametype

  • 10.12.2010 12:14 PM PDT

I love the sound of it, it would be quite an undertaking though, can the Reach engine support 20 vs 20 and the map would have to be as big as Forge World. Maybe Halo 4 by 343? I would hope Bungie makes some kind of reply to this idea in a podcast or something.
