( Searching for target location.. ) [ Target location confirmed. Initiating launch protocol... Awaiting launch orders. ]

I advise you start running.

omg. amazing. i love it. this sort of seems to me like a battle field bad company gold rush sort of idea. its very good. It usually has a bunch of seperate intense battles. I also think that this map would be a amazing map for territories.

Also, scince of the diffrent areas, ii think instead of your chain link fence idea i think that everyones guns should change by themselves periodiclly for a territories match

but your idea is the most amazingest thing ever. you are da mastuh of da halo reeeech.

Good bye Bungie. Thanks for the best game alive! Hope your other games are like Halo.

The problem with this is it must be really time consuming because to reach 200 kills and then play assault on a large open battle field. Two step with the bomb headshot! I mean you could put a 10 time limit but that would still be long I could play 3 invasion. You could raise the credits for the game. But besides all that I love the Idea. Hmmm I might work on the Perfect map for an Idea for Bungie if they deside to make it.

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.



This sounds like some halo version of Battlefield 2142 that would be sooooo cool!

SOEIV/HEVs?

What, no Pelicans?

  • 10.17.2010 1:11 PM PDT

Why not add the ability to have Pelican Evacs. Like vehicle drops you could call in a pelican to pick you up and carry you back to the ship. However, your pelican can be shot down and will have a limited time to bail out and, if you have Jetpack, you could slow your speed you are falling and survive, or if you have armor lock you can lock down and survive the crash.

Also, add in Squad based gameplay where you could have Scout teams, Sniper teams, Infantry teams, and more importantly fighter squads EG Hornets/Falcon/Saber teams or Banshee/Seraph teams.

Another thing is have different servers. A space battle server and a Ground battle server. When you join you are put in the Space battle server. You can either go to sabers/Longswords/Seraphs/Space Banshees (depending on team)or you can go to the drop pods. When you drop you drop through the space battle and enemy aircraft and kill you. If you make it through the space battle, you will hit the Atmosphere of the planet and get transferred over to the ground battle server. In this mode your pod can still be shot down so you must be careful and maneuver away from enemy aircraft. Once you hit the ground you are instantly placed in Fast paced combat.

However, in space you have another choice on getting down. The Longswords/Seraphs can enter the atmosphere and provide air support to ground troops. However, if you use the Space Banshee/Saber you will instantly die upon entering Atmo.

And you have one last choice for entering the ground battle, Pelican/Phantom. Each team has 4 AI controlled drop ships. The ships will launch at regular intervals and will carry you and a vehicle if you have the points for one. You will get carried in and can man a rear turret on the pelican/Phantom in order to provide support for the troops on the ground. You will not be forced off and can stay on the drop ship as a 'Crewmen' and man a Chaingun/Plasma Cannon.

The only probelms with this is i see no way bungie could add it without making it either a major DLC (1200 M$ points) or a whole new game.

I like it, here are some key reasons:

- Its different and unique
- Looks fun
- If I could collab with like 8 other Forgers, we could probably make the perfect map.
- No more spawn camping
- Nice variety
- I like the game type 200 Kill Slayer topped with a dash of Assault. :D
- Points System, it can be tweaked, but overall pretty nice.

sounds awesome! But i think 20vs20 is too many, not only because of the lag, but also having every weapon and every vehicle could overload the map. Maybe 9vs9? And not as many weapons and vehicles, good idea though, oh also maybe put the score at 100

  • 10.17.2010 5:57 PM PDT

Awsome game mode, but when u drop off a vehicle there shud be 20 seconds before any1 else can get on, that way ur teamates cant steal ur stuff

I can sh.it a jelly doughnut...

I like the Idea

  • 10.17.2010 7:54 PM PDT

I like the idea of squads as mentioned before but I think you should be a able to drop near your squad after dying this would take a massive amount of help to get underway though hit me up!

Titan mode

  • 10.17.2010 8:05 PM PDT

Titan Mode?

  • 10.17.2010 8:10 PM PDT

Awesome idea, however, Enemies could camp the launch points, lag would be insane for people dropping one server and entering another constantly. Also the Pods move so fast on launch that I doubt anybody could pull off a shot. Maybe in atmosphere, but not in space.

  • 10.17.2010 8:11 PM PDT

Pycler

This Is a great idea it's just Xbox can't hold 20vs20 in a server it's too many and it would be so laggy many people would quit, if there was a way to expand the server's like you said then that would be an awesome playlist!

  • 10.17.2010 8:11 PM PDT

This sounds like Titan mode from Battlefield 2142.

  • 10.17.2010 8:13 PM PDT

Oh ok now I understand

  • 10.17.2010 8:14 PM PDT

umm...how about 20 kills instead of 200, i would like that.
And a game varient where you got points for each kill/ medal could be used to say buy new weapons/abilities/vehicles from base OR to unlock new loadouts (invasion slayer but solo)

A mosh-pit like game varient with slayer, assault, etc elements in it would be very fun though

  • 10.17.2010 9:33 PM PDT

i would think it would be really unfair because the elites would have to be elites throughout the entire game. and where would all the health packs be because for 20 people, thats a lot of health packs. would there be any weapons on the map? would there be bases or would there be ships? and if it were ships then how to get up there? the map would be big, wouldnt that take long to travel from one part to another just to get a kill. theres a lot of questions to be answered. i like the idea but i think everybody will end up hating it.

  • 10.17.2010 10:54 PM PDT

I support this idea. It would be really good 20 vs 20, start in pelican/phantom, giant slayer...
Everything I would love. That would be a giant war.

  • 10.18.2010 4:43 AM PDT

alot off people are complaining about halo reaches game modes and to be honest i do to when you go a whole day in multi team stuck playing rocket race when you hate rocket race. i think the solution to bungies problem is to segregate game types and not just playlists and the way to do this is to be able to set preferences for game types and not just language etc.

  • 10.18.2010 5:15 AM PDT

yes, that would also be really necessary to make that. But to the new game mode idea: 20 Elites, 20 UNSC, some Phantoms and Pelicans, many weapons, a large battlefield...millions of polygons : Mega Lag
