Subject: Would you like this new game mode

ok first of all what new game type are u talking about and a killing frenzy is 20 kills not 10. 10 is a killing spree so if anybody can message me back and also i got reset on reach if anybody also did.

Halo's ground war. Sounds really fun, but like you said, dedicated servers would be the biggest issue

i think that this game mode, would get bungies attention. But unfortunetly, bungie is lazy. Just like microsoft and sony. They don't liike to do anything if they don't have to. So, as I can clearly see, many people have had thir say in this. This is something bungie should do, but probably won't. I'm all for it. I would LOVE this game type, almost like an odst. This is almost something that bungie would have made on tehir own, if they could think of it. LOL

on a side note, i like the idea, and gj for thinking of it. 20/10

Killing spree is 5 kills, frenzy is 10. 20 kills (without dying) is a rampage.

Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici

I think it's brilliant. With Scarabs and huge vehicles etc. I would pay 60 bucks for JUST this

I made a map a while that i now realize might work decently for a game like this, is hemorhage so it would have to be scaled by alot but I think it would work well.

they need to do this as dlc and put some deleted content from other halo games for dlc

  • 10.12.2010 2:51 PM PDT

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.

I like the idea up to the point where you get a bomb. Its just a little too long and complicated. The point purchase system is also too complicated. I think that a lot of people would complain about these things, but the core of the idea is quite good.

I think this game type would be awesome for casual gamers and the more hardcore community. It would be a good place for clan verses clan battles who weren't MLG.

  • 10.12.2010 3:24 PM PDT

not bad i would like to see it in action before giving a finnal opinion but ok

It should be the final defence against reach's invasion

  • 10.12.2010 3:43 PM PDT

The gametype is gonna kill the servers and the engine. BC2 had enough lag with 32 players, but 40 players would be overkill, even with the hyperstable and hyperefficent engine of halo reach

wonderful idea, i was thinking of something along these lines but it will take a while to figure it all out. but if they take this gametype into consideration i will probably play it a lot.

Can we have separate playlists for pro? Alternating between having a radar and not having one is not fun. Pro needs it's own
playlist.

  • 10.12.2010 10:40 PM PDT

Yes that game mode would be great, awesome idea.

  • 10.12.2010 11:15 PM PDT

Interesting idea. This game would bring a whole new twist to matchmaking.
But what happens when people quits and/or get booted, so that there are only like three people in game. It'll take forever to get so many kills! What would the time limit be?

I only read the first post so if you added or changed some ideas that I am mentioning then ignore it

  • 10.13.2010 1:49 AM PDT

i♄haloreach!

OP you are a genius.

If only this where to be made for real.

  • 10.13.2010 6:42 AM PDT

Sounds epic! Only...that would be a REAlLY long game. Maybe have the gametype open only on certain weekends

40v40 to 200 kills? not that long. admittedly the`assault may take a while, but have a time limit
