Sounds awesome, but it also sounds kind of like cod with the vehicles thing (theyre like care packages.)

That's not the best argument, think of invasion slayer.

Can you elaborate?

'life is a stare down with death himself'

armor: release dlc; ua/multithreat[w], recon helmet.
weapons: the golfclub, even though its labeled as a 'gadget'.
maps: you know.
vehicles: transport hornet. even though it is a modified hornet it is a unique 'vehicle'.
though gametypes can't be added to reach or halo3 im sure 343 or bungie could just as easily release a ODST-like expansion, without the suck.

armor: release dlc; ua/multithreat[w], recon helmet. = Disc locked content, you downloaded the permission files.

weapons: the golfclub, even though its labeled as a 'gadget'. = Not really a stand-alone DLC, it came inside a DLC map.

maps: you know. = Yes, I know.

vehicles: transport hornet. even though it is a modified hornet it is a unique 'vehicle'. = Came inside a DLC map.

though gametypes can't be added to reach or halo3 im sure 343 or bungie could just as easily release a ODST-like expansion, without the suck. = Pointless, and a waste of money.
You should try learning, it's good for you.
On Bungie.net you could've found the answers before I had to post this.

I'm not really an Apple person (Bananas forever) but damn, that's kinda sad.

I posted here before but... It's still an amazing idea for Halo 4 :D

I love the idea. Thumbs up.

I didn't take the time to read through all 174 pages but im hoping somebody has noticed already that this is way bigger than an update or new game type for reach and could basically become the foundation for a new halo fronted by 343 & company

The Banned Brigade - Frontline Infantry since 1988

There is no reason why this can't be released as an expansion. Even if that means a patched menu to allow an additional menu item for this, it can be done in a series of patches and then the eventual expansion.

Now, I don't know much about servers and if they can or cannot allow for dedicated ones for this particular mode. However, I do know they have a completely different host system for Firefight and Co-op Campaign, so I don't see what difference it makes to put a different server through for this.

Instead of saying "can never happen", how about you elaborate and tell us why?

Bungie couldn't simply add Firefight to Halo 3, because the game and maps were compiled, hard-coded, they couldn't write/add new code.

Default gametypes and gamemodes are also stored in each and every map.

So if this game mode is to be made, it would be in a new game.

Firefight+Co-op Campaign only use a different netcode to multiplayer.

I loved this idea when i read it on the other post and i love it here, other than the buying weapon from a shop. Maybe instead you could make it like the capture points in invasion slayer, and the more kills you have the better the drop.

Firefight was originally going to be released as expansion along with odst, until the scale of the game went from 20$ expansion pack to full scale game, which many people argue with, hence the name HALO 3:ODST

thaat would be awesome but if you wanted a falcon or bansee how would you get them. would they just fly or would they still get there by pelican

If it was going to be an expansion, it wouldn't directly be added into Halo 3.

They could've added an access menu, kinda like how we played Crackdown to access the Halo 3 Beta game. :)
Using Halo 3, to access ODST is what they could've done.

This is true BUT what if bungie just made maps on a expansion that are just for this gamemode?
If this guy wanted cruisers on it, with drop pods and pelicans and stuff, it would need a huge map! He basically wants Battlefield 2142 just in halo and with a vehicle care package sort of thing. But it can be done as shown in BF: 2142. Do it, It WILL be a massive hit, Imagine the titles:
Halo Reach: Multiplayer ODST
Halo Reach: Multiplayer Advance
Halo Reach: Full Contact
Think of any other?

It's just a game people!!! Chill out and have fun.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a dicerner of the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4:12-13 (KJV)

*sigh* Honestly i dont like this idea nor do i think would it ever be made. I suspect your the type of gamers that would vote for elite slayer and play firefight for the challenges. This game type that you specified sounds nothing like Halo. It will most likely take at least an hour to play one game with a lot of campers or rage quitters leaving maybe 10-15 versus 20. Also the idea with unlocking weapons lvl's etc... with the amount of kill points obtained is exactly like black ops zombie fight. Please keep Halo as for what it is; a competitive fps that strengths in teamwork, strategy, and map control(obviously this has to be done with practised skill work). Listen, i could point out all the flaws in this "new game type"(for halo) and offend everybody, but instead what would be a better game type is a 1v1 playlist(much like in halo 3 but with new maps that are not for 4v4). I strongly urge dedicated Halo fans to push for new maps that specify for 1v1 or 2v2 maps. I want maps that are small enough to find the campers and finish the game under the set time limit. Also the settings on the map should be different. Its ridiculous having rockets respawn every 3 min. on a 2v2 game type. I would like to pratise my primary/secondary weapons more so than becoming a rocket/camping veteran. Its enough that we have jet packers, armour lockers, etc... So why not make us a better shooter. After all, it is a FPS! is it not?! My point is that instead of adding more random game types that probably wont be so great so early into the reach saga; we should better the gaming exp. with the game types that we already have, and would like to play. BTW, i would like to point out that i didnt mean to offend anybody and its just my opinion. For those who agree w/ me, I Thank you, and for those who don't plz voice your opinion.

It'll be what Halo 3:ODST is, right now.

Sorry, Homefront's too close to what you're talking about, so It's probably not gonna get off the ground.
