Subject: Would you like this new game mode

Well hello, The end of Bungie is a sad time for us all
However all the fans shall still be burning bright
Well i will be

to be honest i tihnk it's a great idea, except for ther points system because people could just spawn kill then commit suicide to go to the cruiser to get better ewapons, this simply could be resolved by minusing points from suicides, sound good?

over all i'd love it to be a game type and map/
Posted by:
Ok, first of all I would like to say that this is a new game mode, not the entire multiplayer experience. It gets it's own special spot on the main menu, along with forge and theater. This game mode would have to have large teams, probably like 20 vs 20, and it would only be possible with dedicated servers, due to lag.

So this is how the game begins. I can't find the thread for it but somebody came up with the idea of spawning in a UNSC cruiser(or a Covenant one) and entering the battlefield with a HEV. I like this idea. So the game starts off with both teams in a UNSC cruiser. You have to find a HEV pod and go down to "The Perfect Map"

"The Perfect Map" is a map, imo, that utilizes everything. That means every weapon, and vehicle. That means that the map must have large open areas for snipers, vehicles ect... but, it must also have tight areas where the shotgun would be the best weapon, and everything in between. It would be a hard map to make but I believe Bungie would be able to pull it off.

When you enter the map you will start off with normal team slayer. The score will be 200. Once you're team scores 200 kills, you will be given a bomb, and you must finish up the game with a game of assault. However you will ONLY be given the bomb if you reach 200 kills. If blue team has 200, but red team only has 150, then the red team won't be given a bomb. Once red team also get 200, the get their own bomb.

Now there has to be a few twists. A big one I think would be adding Campaign scoring. so every time you kill somebody you get points, and you get more points when you get medals. Now obviously these points can be used for bragging rights, but maybe they can do more. Ok lets say you were doing really good, you just got a killing frenzy, but you died. You have a lot of points, because you got 10 kills, and not to mention the medals. So you spawn in the cruiser, but instead of going straight down, you go to a weapons shop. With those points you can buy a secondary weapon. Now I bet the thing I just said probably made 50% of the Halo Reach forum's population get mad, but just bare with me. These weapons would be expensive, so even though you got 10 kills, maybe you only have enough points for a Battle Rifle, or Carbine. In order for you to get a sniper, you would have to have way more points. However to keep it fair you can only buy 1 weapon at a time, so you can't go down with a sniper and rockets. Don't worry though, there will still be weapons on the map.

Now if you have been reading this far and aren't mad at me, you might like what's next. Ever been in the position where you need a vehicle, except you can't find one. Well I think we should be able to call in vehicle drops, from a pelican. You would obviously call in the drops using your points. So lets say I called in a pelican to drop me a mongoose. I would have to hold my position, for 30 seconds, until the pelican comes. If I die, the pelican will come anyway, and drop the vehicle, anybody would be able to take it.

So that is the basic of the mode I am thinking of. Obviously there are problems with this idea, like communicating with a team of 20 but people have said a squad system might work. So yeah, this is my idea, and tell me what you think.


PLEASE READ
Oh and if you want to see everyone's idea's, go to page 8 and go to AbruptArc's post. Also I highly recommend you guys look at Half Demon ANBU's post on page 10. I would post them, but I don't have enough room. 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 on, 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.

This guys' math fails, read this locked thread:
Enjoy this Epic math fail.

I liked this idea a long time ago (voted yes)

Sad to see such a great idea to never be used and for the fact the creator has been removed from bungie.

Let's lol not troll.

Teh Flood was here

i think that there should be two cruisers stopped next to each other and you have a little space walk to get to the other ship. i like your other ideas except for buying weapons, if the map is large so should the variety of weapons. and you said every weapon is available.

So someone gets a sniper and gets a bunch of kills. They die and then pick up another sniper with those points; they repeat the process indefinitely.

  • 01.24.2011 12:50 PM PDT

Dude I think its a great Idea but what if even you got 50 people and it would be like a whole army

  • 01.24.2011 4:11 PM PDT

I like Halo, I like it alot.

This would be an amazing gametype. Bungie, DO THIS!

  • 01.24.2011 4:18 PM PDT

I like the idea but i think it may be better off as a game type for BTB or a larger team objective i think its a good idea but BUNGiE would have to invest ALOT of time into this game type and some stuff i dont think they can achualy DO without major online overhaull but i am rooting for it and i hope ither the game type or the Whoal idea its selfe goes thru oh and Target Locater FTW :D

  • 01.24.2011 8:40 PM PDT

this is a great game mode, bungie should definatly make it, i dont think they will though :( the only problem i can see is that it might lag with that many people








Click this for Magic :)

I like how this idea came out before Halo: Reach came out. It makes it that much better!

  • 01.25.2011 10:17 AM PDT

It dosen't need to be an add on it needs to be a new game. This sounds a lot like a large multiplayer RPG. You use exactly what your thinking of instead using only one map have multiple.

seventh coloumn pride

would be fun but very hard for bungie to pull off

an easyer idea is an invasion map were you have to:

tier 1
-fly a sabre from a unsc cruiser to a covenent ship

tier 2-
take out the covie ships sheilds

tier 3 -
board the covie ship and disable the ships engiens

the elites would also be defending there ship the whole time

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.

But then, once 1 person gets that many points anyone could walk right on in

I do think that you have some good ideas, though many parts do sound like bits and pieces of other games, but i hope you're aware that an addition like that would be way to big and complex to simply download and load into the current game. beside that fact if bungie did put out a new multiplayer game disc with something similar, but more refined and a bit more variety and such, i'd definitely buy it, if only for a little change of pace

Kill them all & let god sort them out

Dude thats a sweet Idea, but I dont know how the communication system will work. Maybe the squad system can tweak it but maybe not. All the people should get seprate points.
