This idea definitely has a lot of potential, and obviously enough support to at least be noticed. I worry about the numbers, though. This isn't CounterStrike, or Battlefield 2. This is a console game- more specifically, an XBOX360 game.

We can dream, though. We can dream...

The Past Is For Reference Not For Residents

AMAZING i would change it to part of a Haylon class cruiser and 60 players teams of 10 and one frigate each and diferent fighters in the hanger bay of the Haylon, then a mac gun shot to the people on the planet and for the people on the planet a anti air gun. That could be split into 2 teams space and ground

OR have a invasion map version 2 where the covanent have the core and are trying to power some base and have to take the core to like 3 different objective zones and sparatans try to get it back

I would like game type like the one in star wars battlefront were you take command post witch can be used as spawn points and vehicle spawn points with 200 shared lives for both teams and load outs to match the game type as well

My gamertag is szpw on xbox live!

This is the greatest gamemode in Halos existence. Vehicle drops! Just like in Section 8

My good sir. you are a Genius, and after reading your post i will be wishing for a mode/game like this forever untill it is done, this is possibly the best thing i have ever read and this idea is amazing, i can't begin to describe how amazing this would make the halo multiplayer experience! i love the whole idea obviously like you said their are a few issues that need fine tuning and a few tweeks to be made but other than that it sounds good, i hope bungie read this and take it into consideration because this would go down so well with the community i think, i can't speak for them but personally saying this is gold!

a quick thought, possibly have it so not all weapons are ready for purchase straight away, like in invasion the weapons are in tiers so that after your team gets to 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, and so on better weapons become avaliable with more ammo capacity and so on so that one team can't get the best weapons straight away as to give the other team chance to catch up on score? i dno, probably wont work but it's a thought

Assassinating in the midst of combat? Easy...

This is the most amazing idea I've ever heard of. I'm sure this would be one of the most played and most epic things in all history of gaming. The map could be made up of some of the best maps from every Halo game to date. It could be made up of Sandtrap and Valhalla (from Halo 3), and Blood Gulch (or Hemorrage as it is known on Reach) and some other maps from Halo 2. (I don't know any as I have never played Halo 2). Add some of the un-playable vehicles or less-used ones if you know where I'm coming from. Imagine Elephants and Scarabs being swarmed by Phantoms and Pelicans! Bungie, even though this is your last Halo game, please, just please, send yourselves out, with a bang....

Why Bungie? Why did you go and ruin it?

This is probably the most unrealistic thought up idea I have ever seen. It goes beyond anything that halo is capable of. This was a huge waste of space, I can't belive how many people have voted.

It's a mush of all the game modes basically.

  • 11.01.2010 3:47 PM PDT

Oi! My eye is kinda bleeding!

How about Space Invasion! Teams start out in an epic dog fight, multiplayer space fight. Human Vs Elite ships. Whoever wins the first round assaults the enemy's ship and hits objectives like regular invasion for two phases.

Ever played Star Wars battlefront 2? Like the space battles my friends. It would be epic.

Everyone just lost (the game). :O

its awesome how well the community has responded to this, i just voted and 85% of the people who vote said YES. i agree, this would be epic, i would never stop playing.

  • 11.01.2010 6:09 PM PDT

i dont think that its possible to support that much stuff going on at once online, even with a dedicated server. its just not possible yet, maybe in the next couple of years man. i mean look at BTB it lags bad enough and it dosent even have a fourth of the stuff that goes on. cool idea though

  • 11.01.2010 6:22 PM PDT

Recon STINKS!!! >:[

YES!!! This would be sort of like Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron! BUNGIE PLEASE ADD THIS OR AT LEAST SOMETHING SMALLER LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!

  • 11.01.2010 6:31 PM PDT

I would toss the idea of having to buy weapons with points,but there should be a limiter about making it so you can't spawn with 2 power weapons.Also maybe it would be time to put that armor to good use like make it where varying on what type of armor you have on you get permission to use weapons that match that armor type

  • 11.01.2010 9:22 PM PDT

Also I would take things to the extreme by making it where you can have 2 teams of 50 or a 100 if the server was big enough. just make it a first person equvillant to halo wars, people every where even make some of them AI's

definitely yes sounds very fun

  • 11.01.2010 9:55 PM PDT

Remember REACH

I know this to be true. It would be hard for bungie to make something so iregular

I can't read all of the posts so, sry if posted before.

My suggestion:
Have the different armors actually DO something.

My ideas, although are subject to change if I wake up better:

EVA (extra-vehicular activity)armor lets the player jump out of the ship towards the other for a mock boarding action. same for Ranger.

Operator lets the player have a mild highlight of enemy players when using binoculars (not scopes). Officer would have same effect, but with added waypoint because of limited-ness.

EOD (explosive ordinance disposal)replaces frag grenades with AT mines, small explosion so not to kill ppl unless by accident, but strong enough to severly damage a wraith/scorpian.

ODST allows for longer or faster sprint, but weaker shields. Also gains access to SMG varients.

Air Assault gains higher jetpack altitde, but weaker armor. Shields are same. Ranger also gains this.

Grenadier carries more frags and plasmas, but moves slower.

HAZOP (HAZard OPerations)allows for better shields and armor, but reduced visibility.

Pilot would allow for better air vehicle control, but worse for land vehicles.

GUNGIR reduces bloom on all weapons, but does not eliminate it. but, again, reduced FOV

Scout gains a larger radar jammer effect from AC. Spec-ops also gains this.

Recon gains better zoom for all, even binoculars.

Mark V gains better shields, but changes hud back to H1 style. (could mess with newer players)

Mark VI gains Mark V shields without HUD change

Commando would help with either listening in on enemy comms or having a "lead crosshair" (like elites have when holding a PRe, PRi, PP, Needler etc).

CQC (Close-Quater Combat)increases melee speed. While CQB (close-quater battle) reduces melee damage to armor.

JFO (i'm just going to say it's called Joint Force Operator) would slightly speed up the drop time for weapons/vehicles or decrease the cost for them, but would slightly damage the vehicles (just one piece falls off) and the weapon would have one less magazine available (so not 12 rounds for the sniper rifle [one in, two spare] but 8 [one in, one spare])

Military Police gain dual wielding, but only with Magnums, PRi, and PP. and the latter two would have bloom applied, and the magnums would lose the scope while dual'd.

Zealots would gain an even bigger speed to movement and melee, but losing vehicular capability.

Ultras would gain a better "lead crossahir" that expands to all weapons, not just PRe, PRi, PP etc

Spec-ops also lose some of the AC movement penalty. but it would still be there.

Elite shields get stronger based on rank, but are only allowed to have a limited number of each. (only one General [or whateve the last rank is], with minor being the most common)



Most of the effects would probably only be turned on if you have all neccesary pieces. Like ODST chest, shoulders and helmet. Or GUNGIR Helmet, shoulders and knees.

TACPAD could be used with commando to help find enemy comm sources. Like a minimap but only for people who are talking with 30m in front.

Bracers would be part of the CQB/C sets.

Hard Case would be part of Grenadier

Sniper shoulders (Jun's) and Tactical/Patrol would be part of sniper set

Security would be part of MP set.

GPS wrist set would be part of scout

Collar/Breacher would be part of CQB/C

Collar/Grenadier would, obviously be part of the grenadier set, but would work with the grenade launcher as well.



Can't think of anything else, mostly because I can't remember what everything is.

I am dumd.

And maybe different loadouts when you play in complete armor, (like magnum and SMG for ODST). Also, think about loadouts for space battles, like rocket saber and standard saber for Spartans, and Banshees and Seraphs for Elites.

Standard sabers and Banshees will have boost, when rocket sabers and seraphs will have (not full) active camo, only when slowed down.
