I am the light in a dark world...
All that is dark and currupt shall fall before me...
May you all live long and die strong.

Good idea however a few major issue.

Halo doesn't use severs a 20 vs 20 game would be lag crazy, especially considering how most people dont have decent connections. (Number of times I'm connection host is redicolous).

I want a gametype that:

SPACE DOGFIGHTING - Seriously why put in it in the campagin then not utilize it in multiplayer, it wouldn't take long for bungie to implement it. Just have spartans spawn on two opposite space stations with Sabres. Done.

I think this would be cool, but I have a more simplified type:

Pretty much make it a HUGE invasion type. Spartans vs. Elites.
25 vs. 25. Covy get a Cruiser, Spartans get a Frigate.

Covy are given Seraphs in the Cruiser hangar. Spartans are given Sabres in their hanger. Space battles and ground battles both possible.

Both ships have drop pods that go planet-side. Generators are on the planet that provide shield to the spaceships. Once you destroy the enemy generator, their ship's shield is gone, and you can enter their ship.

To keep ground-based planet-side battle still going after the generators are destroyed, there would be a mini-base between the two generators. The base would have 2 transport-only air vehicles (to get back to space) and MAC guns that can take down space vehicles.

Once you get inside the enemy ship, you must destroy the ship's power core. Once you do, the enemy ship is destroyed and your team wins.

Put a 10-15 minute time limit to ensure the game doesn't last too long. First to destroy the other team's ship or get to 500 kills wins. (Keep in mind it's 25 vs. 25.)

Basically a Halo type of Battlefront II's space battles, which were epic.


Basically the system that is bein g used by Star Wars Battlefront 3? With multiple battles on diffirent areas. One space and one on the ground?

Need one more person for Vidmaster : Endure? PM me.

Lag would be unbearable there should only be people with good enough connections able to join.
Also I like this idea and I think it should be implemented with it's own playlist and a infection playlist too.

My Youtube - Halo 2 Online Co-op
BUNGIE AND MICROSOFT FAILS HALO 2 VISTA.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Dedicated Servers ftw, pvp is so obsolete (crap)

i think that if the actually do it,it would be amazing. however with dropping from a pod you dont get to choose sniper or shotgun area. like i hate snipers so i will never go there but the pod may force me there. they should make it so you can drop in different zones.

Ever play Section 8? This is just about the same concept

  • 10.16.2010 8:48 AM PDT

I would play the hell out of this. Yes, dedicated servers ftw...goodbye lag.

  • 10.16.2010 8:53 AM PDT

Dude this would be a amazing game mode, I hope Bungie would consider something this epic.

  • 10.16.2010 9:11 AM PDT

I think this is a awesome idea and i think we should do this. Please bungie make this happen!

  • 10.16.2010 9:29 AM PDT

This sounds so cool!

  • 10.16.2010 9:31 AM PDT

its a great idea bungie should consider that. everything about it is perfect other than the pelican drop time i think that maybe it should be 15 seconds or 20. but i think that it is a great idea.

I actually find that more stimulating than this thread where another 12 year old nonchalantly suggests Bungie code a HUGE number of new things into the game that would barely be used

@$$ kickings for every one

betrayers are haters cause im a player

what load-outs will there be

  • 10.16.2010 3:42 PM PDT

Boots in the mud, rifle at the ready...

Awesome idea. I thought about something like that. It was a firefight variant and you dropped down into the atmosphere in HEVs, but when you landed there was a delay for the hatch to pop open. In that time, you could be blown up. On the plus side, when the hatch opens outward (think ODST beginning style open you can kill enemies and get splatter kills with the HEV.

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.


great idea but it would probably have to be dlc
