I just want my VIP back!!

one thing I have to say...20v20 won't work on todays consoles...they are just too weak to handle it...FPS lag would be the problem the hardware can't handle it

  • 10.18.2010 6:07 AM PDT

thats a great idea. i think there should be a time limit of about 30/45 mins incase the teams are well balenced and the game dosnt go on for 3 hours and everyone quits. also there should be a 1 bomb varient like one team defending and the attackers have to plant the bomb. the weapon shop is a good idea and should be able to buy armor abilities that stay with you when you die and you should only be able to buy power weapons like rocket launcher, sniper, energy sword ect. i think weapons like dmr, assault rifle should be free, and no dmr assualt rifle combos cause there dumb, only one primary and one secondary. it should also be like an armory with all the weapons on the wall. the orbital drop sound cool. it should be like the one in ODST. vechical drops sound awesome.i think that this would be a great spartan v elit game type. i hope bungie considers this.

How about you can also gain points for playing the objectives for example if you stay with the bomb holder but dont get any kills or deaths you get a few points mabye 5 or 10 for staying with him and defending him each like every 5 mins or so kinda like medel of honour killstreak system..

I'm Lightening, I'm frightening, Comming at ya like northern bullet. What was that ya Jack of clubs.

It maybe be crazy enough to work.

BattleField Bad Company 2. Held up 24 players. 12 v 12. So it's close and didn't seem to Lagg that bad. The Reach Servers Handle it well. I haven't came across many laggy games. (Or I've been getting host alot xD)

I would seriously give this a go. I'm pretty keen on it. 20 v 20? I could just think of all those Sniper Kills *Drools

It's a great idea.

I would change, as you anticipated, the part where we go and buy weapons with our points. Inside the Cruiser, there are numerous weapon stashes locked in chain-linked fences that become available every time you get a certain number of kills.

Each weapon stash, depending on how easy it is to unlock, would hold specific weapons (the stash that requires 100 points would hold ARs, Maulers, SMGs, and Frag Grenades. The last one that requires 100,000 points would hold a Spartan Laser, a few Swords, and a Missile Pod) These are just examples.

Ex. You get 10 kills (as you said) and imagine those 10 kills scored you 100 points. In order to open the first chain-linked fence to get to the first weapon stash, you need 150 points. Once you have 150 points, you can walk up to any of the stashes that require 150 points or less to unlock, and unlock it.

You bring up some good ideas.


Along with the chain-link fences on some weapon caches, I would also use one-way shields that only allow those players who have earned enough points to get in and access the weapons in more deadly caches, like the sword, RL, FRC, GL, etc., because the fence caches would then be available to anyone after they get unlocked, but the shielded caches would only be available to the players that earned them by fighting well.

I would LOVE a Game Mode like this. If anybody has the time and would like to forge one that'd be sweet. I wouldn't like to do this without ujjval16's help though for him coming up with this. But if you guys did want to do something like this in Reach, I wold most def. help because this would be outstanding! My Gamertag is 'I ChrisFTW I' if anybody would like to Message/Add me about this.

PLEASEEEEEEEEEE READDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe instead of up to 200 it should be to 500 because of the amount of players. and instead of after reaching that goal you have a bomb it should be many objectives in one like assault and capture the flag but the flag doesnt go back to the base once you pulled it, also maybe their should be an 3 or 4 oddballs your team must hold but the big thing is that if your team reaches a certain amount of kills like 2000 then that team automatically winsi really like this idea because of the huge teams
and
maybe instead of a weapon shop your whole team have to put like you said points to a certain box containing certain weapons
for example

box a contains a magnum gernades, extra ammo and other basic essentials

as you get to higher boxes you are able to unlock a box with armor abilities

the highest of course are the power weapons like rockets and snipers

now your whole team is able to put points to a box in order to unlock so it would be faster to unlock and then once the box is unlocked you have to buy a weapon

also there should be a death award system where for example you die 3 times in a row and you get a choice of like 50 extra points to buy items or a weapon like a magnum as you get a higher death streak you get more points or a better weapon but you arent able to get power weapons or like 1000 points

of course lag will be an issue but maybe if you know you have a good connection then in the playlist menu you should be able to pick the option of "im the king" where you are able to be the host of a game and if you know your connection isnt that great you just pick the playlist it is in and your get connected to the host with a good connection no problem also if a jerk with a bad connection tries to get into im the king this idea would be if you click im the king it tests your connection and if its great then you can be host if it isnt then you get your back to the main menu

reply to this please because i would like to make this game type happen

i like this idea in general lots of flaws and really big but i could see bungie making a miniture game like Halo: Arena and this be one of the modes otherwise this would be way too big to be on halo reach and would need like 12 or more dedicated servers

I think its a great idea, but considering how different this is from all the other game modes, Bungie would probably scale it down.

I'd say this could be a new Invasion variant.
For now, since this would probably take a while for Bunge to dish out (if it ever adds this) I would say that they should combine Invasion and Invasion slayer. People get to 40 kills, they get a bomb, new weapons, etc.

  • 10.18.2010 5:49 PM PDT

Let there be light, created from fire

I am all i am, i am a team player(when im not pissed), i make great strategies, i will punch you in the face after armor locking, you have to be at sniper distance to not get headshot by my DMR or pistol, wraiths beware, i am DxXOrangesXxD and i am ready to rumble! (When Halo 4 comes out cause Reach is nothing but crap players now)

smart but bungie will NEVER do it, they dont have the time, resources or balls to do something of that scale. Getting any ideas into in general is likly impossible, like my custom matchmaking games playlist idea, for people who just want to play non competitive non serious custom games on fun maps, its too hard to get 16 of your friends into 1 game especally if they are already playing in matchmaking. its a good idea, but bungie will never do it, so save it for your own game one day

  • 10.18.2010 5:50 PM PDT

sorry if this has allready been mentioned, but squad system? 20v20? Large Map? Vehicles? Long/mid/Close quarters combat?
Does this sound like battlefield to anyone but me?

Oh and the reason consoles cant handle the 20v20 is because because there are no dedicated servers (again, sorry if this has already been mentioned). In my altar ego as a PC Gamer, I play Battlefield 2, with 32v32 games with no lag, cus of said dedicated servers...

Sounds way fun... But I don't even know if it would be possible, 20 v 20 is huge, along with this ginourmous map and all the stuff that's going on Im not sure if any server could take it, but if it were to happen I would be so happy! :D

  • 10.18.2010 6:03 PM PDT

I've got a idea for the map when you drop to land on eather side of a small city with a field on eather side.once you enter the city you would be able to find weapons cashes and garage with vehicles in them and in the fields flying vehicles.going back to the city you would be able to walk through the building giving it a close courters felling and at the same time on one side a beach leading to an ocean giving it a long range felling.then on one side of the city so you don't feel like it's just like it's a city with two fields you could put a cliff on one side and get creative with the othe like for instance the other one could be a hill with a military instilation on it.sorta like combining standoff from halo 3 and a city and making it a little bit larger.
thank you for reading my Idea RakeBait

  • 10.18.2010 6:23 PM PDT

Didnt read that much of it but sure i would try it as long as it was a free game mode to pay for it though No Way

Dear Bungie... Try this out please... Sincerely Me... but really just do it please...

War.
War never changes.

i hope bungie considers this.


I've reviewed this several times.
I think there could be minor changes made, but this could be done.
COULD.
Bungie most likely won't consider it, although we all wish they would.
Bungie, read your forums more.
Especially this one.

  • 10.18.2010 8:41 PM PDT

This would be amazing for machinima.
But I think loads of vehicles like subs, longswords would be too hectic. How big is the map going to be?

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

also i think there should be an option to be a brute + 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 should 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.

Excellent Idea Going along with the weapon/vehicle drops, you could have one be random. Costing in the mid-range of "points."
