using your points to land on any location on the map via a space pod drop (odst style..) would be cool, also then the space drop/spawn should be faster then a pelican drop to add some strategic value to the use of a space drop

Someone earlier said that tghe only way to add something THIS HUGE to the game woul be to make it a separate disc. And I agree completely. the only way to possibly get something THIS EPIC into the game would be to add another disc. itd also probably make the game more expensive but it would be like getting two games in one. Like ODST. We got the Mythic disc with all the maps and no one minded. Of course, that was free(i believe) in comparison to this which would have to cost a noticeable sum of money. Personally, for the epicness, Id think it to be worth it.

I like the idea, but it's worth mentioning that we have no idea how Reach is going to play yet. It may be a FPS, but it may not work with Halo 3 style multiplayer. But odds are, it will.

I think it'd be great if Bungie released a few super huge maps for super big teams and made a playlist with dedicated servers just so we could play it. An example of a map would be the opening level of Halo 2 where the Covenant come through into the UNSC ship through those pods. One team could play as the Covenant attackers and one team playing the Human defenders in a vast indoor map.

I think that Bungie should utilise the Conquest gametype and make their own maps for it on a larger scale.

i like your ideas man great work i think after you get dropped the next time you start you start in a pelican for a few seconds then do that points system with the weapons then jump out and were you jump out would be close to the action but not so close you get waisted as soon as you get out

yeah! being able to ride on a pelican/phantom down would be cool as well, like you can take a pelican/phantom instead of a HEV down to the battle.

Example: someone calls down a vehicle drop, and so you have a limited time to get to the pelican/phantom and it takes you down instead of a HEV.

another cool idea would be to be able to call for transport.

Example: some one calls a pelican/phantom down and then they can ride that pelican to another location, chosen by the person who called the transport.

other than those added ideas i just said this would be a MYTHICALLY awesome game mode, hell i'd even buy it as a game for £30!(Pounds)

it would also be awesome to be able to save up your points from former matches and buy rocket launchers, splasers etc. on the cruiser and u could also have a covinent team and a unsc team and u go down onto the map and battle it out

  • 09.26.2009 7:30 AM PDT

for communications: 4 squads of 5 ea squad. leaders can comunnicate with ea other but if you not a squad leader you can only talk to your squad and your leader.

yah man that would Really be a good game. people would have to work together to get to the assault phase, and work together to bring it home. that way ur only as strong as ur weekest link. so no more douches that PERPOSLY get the worst score posible to ruin the game for every one else. . .

It doesn't really make that big a dif. but I think one ofip the carriers should be a UNSC and one be Covanent because the covies have the HEV pod things to and Dropships should be in there just because that would be awesome.

Im not trying to be offensive here but...

You just suggested we take "Section 8" and put it IN "Halo: Reach". Throughout reading this entire thing, all I heard was Section 8.

I like the idea though, but maybe not IN reach, maybe as a complete new game. This alone would take a load itself to implement, and trying to implement it already into a game with forge and theater. It'd have to be PC clearly.

If anything though, I believe before you choose to jump in to this mode, you should be able to go to a section where you can pre-choose what you want in your pod. So when you hit the dirt, and pop out, some characters may pull out a shotgun and some nades, others a sniper, etc etc. Also, I believe that it should also be sort of mentally effecient and based. You die, your accomplishments drown away in sorrow. Etc, you finally got good and got a new weapon for your pod. You died. That weapon wont be in your pod because you have died and you no longer are in service. You are now 6 ft under with a bunch of people grieving over the loss of their son.

Kapow!

You could actually buy the weapons before you respawn and have them drop near where you spawn. Then you wouldn't have to go back to the ship e.g Radio Transmissions.

As for the idea it sounds amazing. If Bungie actually do this I will have to sell my soul because I will be playing it to much...

Hell ya! I think you should respawn depending on who you choose. for example an ODST drops in a HEV. try to think of more ideas!

One Life.....LIVE IT!!

Thats an awesome idea!!! except in reality it would need way to much power for the xbox to support:(

  • 09.27.2009 5:11 AM PDT

Well 20 vs 20? More we need more people, a bit like frontlines fule of war, 50 player battles. and it should take your xp from halo 3 so you can up it from both games.

Oh my god this is geniouse well done, well put, and i think it would be great, just more people like 50 v 50

  • 09.27.2009 5:17 AM PDT

yeah, i think it is a good idea man but i would change a few things like the scoring but i like the idea of going down to the map in a HEV, i think that would be really cool.

Im not sure about 20vs20 because that is alot of people to talk to.
You could have 4 different squads each with 5 people in it.

Then, before u go into the HEV to go down to the map u can go into the armoury to get some weapons, but there are only a few basic weapons with some speacial weapons like the Assault rifle, Battle rifle, M7S Submachine gun, M6S Magnum and some others and then the speacial weapons could be a Sniper rifle, sparten laser and so on.

One question:
How would you talk to all those people at once?
You wouldn't.
But perhaps the solution to this would be to create groups or squads.
Only people in your own squad would be able to converse but the leaders would be able to converse also to each other.
Too complicated?
Then make up your own suggestion.

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 back, 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.
