I think they call this game "Homefront". At least the part about calling vehicles in.

Sounds pretty awesome but Bungie would really have to perfect the map.

It's called beta testing. they could design one which they thought was cool, let us play it and we'll tell them the bugs, the glitches, the things that need changing and the things that are good

I think i might have a cool game type
it might have already been said but i wasnt going to check 181 pages

a 1 vs. 1 or something like that i dont know

you 'command' a squad like campaign with ai squadmembers

you can choose the weapons and perks at the beginning of each map

but you cannot trade weapons with your troops you can choose where specific members go like hologram but with d-pad to select your sqaud members

you will also only have limited control over them

Sounds kind of like Halo Wars to me

I don't know if anyone else said this because I don't feel like looking thought 182 pages, but it should be Spartans vs elites. Another good idea is there should be a space battle map.

fps control not aerial
like in campaign they follow you around
(but unlike in campaign they can die)

I'm frickin working for Bungie someday!

I do find your idea interenting and i have thought of the same idea myslef. it sounds like an all out full war mode with an open area, campaign based battlefield. the idea of buying weapons sounds very similar to that of call of duty's zombie mode. it also simply doesnt appeal to me at all but thats just me. earning exerience points or credits like in Reach would be fine but some new form of campaign points play the exact same purpose as the credits earned in halo reach making them unreasonable and again very similar to call of duty. player should just be given a few select classes or one starting class with a basic armory or a set of mounted weapons sort of like the ones you find throughout the campaign in the other halo's. there should be multiple game modes in this all out war mode like the one you explained in the original post,ones that are just killing the other team, one where every one has 3 to 5 lives and the objective is to wipeout enemy forces(which could suck if the last person on a team was hiding in a map big enough to normally fit 40 people, a mode similar to that of invasion from halo reach but on a much larger scale, a mode where forty people are put into four teams of ten, maybe there could be a vip mode where one team has has a vip in a stronghold and the other team must infiltrate and kill this vip, there could be a mode that combines assault and invasion and there are multiple bomb sitesand maybe even multiple bombs for each team. If a mode like that were to be made, i think it should be simply called "To War" because it is short, to the point, vague yet obvious, and it would sound epic.

hello

I would honestly love this idea. With Bungie's introduction to Invasion, I was excited. But it simply wasn't good enough. I'm not going to lie. Invasion is fun, especially if youhave some friends to play with. But it didn't have that thing that really grabs you and makes you mant to play it forever. But this, I believe, would have that. If I could make a suggestion with the whole weapons and points thing, the way I would do it is when you have enough points you could call in a weapon pod, similar to those in Halo: Reach's Firefight. Drops with heavy weapons cost more and of course, lighter and more common weapons costs less. Plus, you could be able to place the drop anywhere on the map so you could give the drop to a teammate that is pinned down. Or you could also attempt at dropping a pod on an enemy and get a medal for it and everything. There really are a lot of possibilities and I wish Bungie would take all the best out of this and create into a game.

Bungie, if you're reading this right now, this is possibly your chance to bring thousands, tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds, of new players into your game. This idea right here is probably the greatest idea ever to have been proposed to Bungie. If I were to give one million dollars to any idea or invention, I would give it to this. If I ever see this in the game, I want to shake your hand and nominate you for the Nobel Prize or something.


This is the best idea I have ever seen.

cool. exactly 17000 votes

One of the Archons of history

I agree Spartans and Elites would be much better. But def. a great idea, i support.

about you VIP game type
you said that their would be a certain amount of live for each player right
maybe your team could get lives if your VIP kills an enemy (and bonus lives if it is the enemy VIP)

  • 02.13.2011 6:41 AM PDT

i think you should change it to firefight team scoring so when a team gets a ceartin amount of points then the whole team will unlock a weapon locker or get upgraded to new vehicles to call in

  • 02.13.2011 6:51 AM PDT

seeing as 17000 people have voted on this topic 12000 for it this should really be put in if possible

in response to what chadryancooldude said. that sounds even better but there should be a max number of lives allowed so that one team doesnt have total power

Owned thank you very much

WOW ! that's amazing , I would definitely play that , sounds extremely fun and it would probably attract new players , that's brilliant , I would pay good money for that , the only issue with that is that's a huge update to download , although well worth it *saves thread*

  • 02.13.2011 11:42 AM PDT

Nintendo. Xbox. Good music. Mates. Comedy. That's it for me XD

How about when you're in your HEV/Pelican drop, that's when you select your loadout, and when you hit the ground the selection is over and you enter the fray. Also, the loadouts could progress a la Invasion[Slayer], eg. at timed intervals, total kills or your personal kill count.

One more thing, this could be a game type that is packaged with an expansion pack-kind-of-game, like ODST was an expansion to Halo 3. Because adding it to Reach would be impossible.

Other than that, it's a fantastic idea and would be absolutely smashing, it would be alot like Star Wars Battlefront XD

HEEYYY! If you guys want to talk about halo reach more,join my group called Heroes of Reach!

p.s. we have cookies...

This sounds amazing. I will stand by this idea till the end

  • 02.13.2011 2:39 PM PDT

Sounds like Homefront which looks awsome by the way

I am the last shadow that you'll ever see.

thank you Bungie for allowing me to have the fun of destroying covenant noobs and helping me have world domination!

This is an amazing Idea! i wonder why Bungie hasn't created it yet!?! hope I can play it soon!

I got a couple of regrettable tattoos but, you can't see 'em when I wear a black suit.
Click here for a good photo to laugh at

Would never happen, simple as that.
I still voted yes just because I like dreaming.
