Genious, absolutely genious. You my boy deserve a medal. But no buying weapons.

I like the idea of 20 vs 20, not sure I like the idea of buying weapons though when you respawn. With all available weapons and vehicles on the map there would be no reason to buy or unlock weapons. One twist that I think could be cool, but probably not feasible, is that no one respawns until you whole team dies, then everyone respawns at once in orbit. Thought it would a cool twist.

Yeah I know, Im a furry, and I'm assuming you are a furhater... Like I aint seen enough of em' -.-

A quick add...
it would be cool if they had to access some kind of database to destroy each others cruiser and sew who could do it first
like some kind of destination in invasion but its not exactly the same..
then they have to send the bomb to the cruiser and blow it up just like in the trailer

Amazing Idea!!!

Halo could defeinitely use this sort of game mode!

I have faith in the 360 console. I believe that it has the potential for a 20 vs 20 game. I believe that Halo would be the perfect candidate to prove it.



Xbox is capable has any1 here ever played battlefield bc2 god lol
ps3 has MAG because their lack of good FPS too i know they have CoD but too be honest CoD isnt a skillful game in my opinion but thats off topic but in MAG theirs also bad graphics or not the best and the only reason ps3* has a good processor is because sony has produced 3 systems and many other products so they can afford it but microsoft has only 2 gameing systems and even though they may have money from Creating Windows they still cant use that for gaming they have to use it for better OS updates and things. sorry for long post

Is there another word for genius?

  • 10.20.2010 12:18 AM PDT

i dont see why they cant do this they bragged about having 40 people on the screen at one time.

couldnt they throw up some ads to pay for the servers?
its not like we dont get enough already from xboxlive.

i would think a 32 player match would work.
ps3 can do it and their players dont have to pay monthly
why cant we?

Guardian of the Night

OMMFG!! This is the closest anyone has come to my idea! Instead of having regular slayer and such, why not make it more of a competitve campaign?! Yes, yes, and more yes!

  • 10.20.2010 7:25 AM PDT

....what? you want personal info!!!?.........Stalker!!!!!

itd take WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy too long...

  • 10.20.2010 7:25 AM PDT

yea I like this new game mode. It would make for some great games. Plus starting of as slayer and then bring in assault to the game is a good idea. I would say the assault part would have to be getting the the bomb onto the other teams cruiser to destroy it so ending the game. Or you could even do it a capture type. like capturing some data node from there cruiser and return it to yours. Also maybe make it a Spartans v Elites game.

  • 10.20.2010 8:14 AM PDT

Why did you say Battle Rifle or Carbine???

Keep it simple stupid.

My guess is he made this post before reach came out, it would awesome if this gametype could be put in Reach.

I think this is a great idea and the people who add more suggestions make it better(I just hope no one has put this already...).

Gold Team Rules!

Great idea, but how do you get around the campers who would just stay in the cruiser the entire battle? (i know there would be few, but it may make a big difference because of the sheer length of the match)

....spongy, bungie, who cares? I got mine!

To prove that Bungie listens to the community, take a look at Invasion. It's Bungie's own version of this gametype.

The OP posted this more than a year ago. Bungie probably noticed it and made Invasion, tweaked however.

Here's how:
It's only 6v6, But it used the squad based teams the OP describes, It consist of HUGE maps with all kinds of areas, and it consist of 2 different gametypes bundled in 1, Territories, and Capture the flag.

We love you Bungie!

NOT A BAD IDEA if I may say...Now just comparing the idea to some games that have had the experience with these ideas...using credits to buy guns = W at W -blam!- Zombies. Calling in a vehicle = The Outfit, this is a game based from WW2. I tried the DEMO to Section 8 and its not like what you are describing, but there is one thing that I would totally rip from Section 8 is to not respawn directly onto the field or craft, how about being deployed in a Drop Ship like the ODST's. And to go almost anywhere on the field!...but who cares about having ideas from other games you haters! I want to play a game that collaborates as many ideas together as possible to make the best war/first person shoot games on the market. I really like the drop ship effect though. AND buying a gun will make the game even better bc you are working up to it and need to fight and get credits, SO this eliminates campers, mostly, in order to get a different power gun. BRING BACK THE BRUTE SHOT! OH and add in an Air Strike. Kinda like using the Target Designator, but for an all assault Air Strike from the "Black Bird" planes that was seen at the end of Halo CE. I really like this Idea of having an this campaign or invasion battle bc this is going to be competition between what Gears of War 3 is doing and Halo Reach should also be doing.

Instead of buying weapons on a cruiser, I think thee player should be able to call in weapon drops and such.

If you hold the Y button, you pull out a Drop Zone Locater that can be used like the Target Locater in Reach to designate a spot for a drop. After pulling out the weapon and selecting a target, a menu comes up where the player can choose what the drop is going to be.

Options for drops could be,
-weapon packs
-vehicles
-health and ammo
-armor abilities (if you dont start with them)
-artillery (MAC blast or wraith barrage)
-emp (maybe)
-air support (maybe) (pelican or phantom)

This sounds like a really fun game, and although Invasion was somewhat like this, hopefully Bungie incorporates this at a larger scale into their next game.

Edit: And you can only call in something, every one or two minutes to prevent people from abusing artillery and to prevent air space from becoming too crowded.

Yeah, there should be a "cool-down" time between weapon drops.

Just going to say, this whole idea is epic.

I really like the idea of an in-game point/cR system to purchase weapons/vehicles/etc, and the drop pod spawns.

Here's my two cents:

Instead of starting in a cruiser, you spawn and respawn in drop pods that come from your respective ship. I think it would be cool if you could manuever your drop pod on the way down (kill me for referencing this if you want, but think of the Predator Missile from MW2, controls similar to that). That way a player can control to some degree where they're going to spawn and makes them less helpless if someone on the enemy team decides to snipe-spawn the drop pods with a Spartan Laser. Also, I think players should take a small amount of damage when the drop pods impact, giving incentive to spawn behind your own lines and with your squadmates.

As far as squads are concerned, I think 5 squads of 4 would work nicely. 4-man teams seem much more natural to me. And it would be cool if they could be named Red Team, Blue Team, Green Team, Gray Team, etc. as the Spartan teams are in the Halo novels. I'm not sure what for the Covenant.

Remember the map of New Mombassa you could access in ODST? I'd love to see a battlefield map similar to that, showing all of the squad positions, weapon/vehicle drop positions, etc., and maybe a way of being able to mark enemy locations for a short period of time.

Anyways, those are my thoughts. Keep it up, Bungie needs to see this!

Orbital Shock Drop Trooper.... At Your Service

Everything but the purchasing weapons when you spawn is great. I love the vehicle drop idea along with vehicles on map. This game mode could utilize almost all of the forge world map. Hemmorage being one spawn and asylum the other and you have all that area to use.
