"I may disagree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." ~Voltaire

Wow, I remember when this thread was first made. It was a great idea then and it still is now, it's a shame the person who posted this deleted their account.

I love how this is still alive.

  • 06.15.2011 5:17 PM PDT

  • 06.15.2011 5:36 PM PDT

Another great idea from another great Halo Fan! :)

  • 06.15.2011 11:32 PM PDT

Sounds great! but one flaw that is not really your fault but rather the fact that even with dedicated servers 20 vs 20 sounds a bit too out of "reach" (lol) for the Xbox 360. Pass this idea 343 studios for the next halo!

  • 06.16.2011 7:29 PM PDT

Yeah, thats an epic idea. they should bring that out with the next update or DLC!!!!!!!!

Make this into Invasion. Spartans drop, and you're split into squads of 5. Each squad has a target to neautralize, or take over. Whne a squad captures a position (Could be a building), the install a program into a computer in the building that puts shields on the door, the enemy can't go in it then. You can't stay in the base too long or you start losing health. Only about 15 or 10 seconds. You can then help the other squads neutralize targets. You will also be fighting squads of Elites who have been asigned to defend targets. But, if you drift too far from your squad, the will be ordered to kill you, you will be warned first.

So once you do that, you group up into 3 sqauds. 2 squads of 7 and 1 squad of 6 for each team. Keep in mind you can call in Pelicans for assistance the whole game. So next, each squad will be selected to destroy a Covenant building (Hangar for aircraft, Vehicle Depot, and Weapons armory). Keep in mind that the Elites can take any of these and use them, the doors only open for them. Each squad will be given a Bomb. Go and blow your target as quick as possible and help the other squads.

In the Final round, it would turn into a Sudden Death sort of thing. You must assault The Covenant base. But, everyone only has one life. Once half of the Elites are dead, an AI on the Spartan team comes with a bomb. Protect him until he plants the bomb. He is an ODST, so he isn't as good as a Spartan, and he doesn't fight well. If he dies, pick up the bomb and plant it. Once the bomb detonates, the building will collapse. Escape to the Pelican (If any Elites are still living) and you win.

This would have 30 minute games at the most. It gives a lot of cR as well. It would be very fun to play, but I don't agree to having an armory to buy weapons. They will be on the map already to still give that Halo feel.

They have 32 vs. 32 in Homefront. Why can't they do 20 vs. 20 in Reach?

  • 06.17.2011 10:04 AM PDT

how about they forget about a new game mode and get rid of the stupid credit cap

  • 06.17.2011 10:25 AM PDT

Speak softly but always carry a DMR.

Deffinately one of the best ideas i think anyone has come up with. i do think that bungie could throw it together. I mean, halo is the biggest thing to hit video games since ever, i mean, freaking pac man or mario isnt even as big as halo. I do believe it is a wonderful idea. The only thing i would suggest is completely split up the halo live world. Kind of like a football game.
Have everyone on a permanant team and when they play that game mode they join that team every time. This would allow for massive bragging rights through out the world.
But, I think it is a great idea. Leave bungie to sort out the kinks if it happens.

  • 06.17.2011 2:34 PM PDT

Too bad 343 Industries will be taking over Halo Reach and everything else Halo after Bungie Day. And I doubt Bungie could throw this together by then, and then you would have to rely on someone from 343i to monitor just this gametype just to make sure it doesn't lag or anything.

I hate people. Specifically you.

Of course, If this ever was made into a game type, Bungie, (or should I say 343 :/) wouldn't release this the exact way you told it. 1 pt = 1 kill most likely. Plus, I couldn't see this game type on any map, even forge world. It would have to be HUGE.

Homefront is 16 vs 16 lol not 32 vs 32 (that would be epic lol) but homefront is using a different engine then halo's also homefront uses dedicated servers there is no way a mode like what everyone is talking about can handle without dedicated servers even if the 360 could handle 20 vs 20 on the reach engine. And bungie is not going to put money into dedicated servers so late into the game. but heyyy all is not lost im pretty sure the next xbox will be able to handle 32 vs 32 no problem maybe for halo 4? idk

Kinda planing on that XD

I like the idea but instead of buying stuff with points like you would in N4Z1 Zombies(COD: WAW/BO) your points at the end of the game could help you unlock weapon classes that you can spawn with instead of running around the frigate trying to find stuff you can unlock and wasting time you could be using to get more points. Or if this came to Halo: Reach all of your points at the end of the game can be added to your credits in the armory plus the game bonus like commendations, and completing the game or challenges. If Bungie wanted to keep the idea of having to unlock stuff in the ship than there could also be a vehicle garage where you can drop to the battlefield in a mongoose, warthog, scorpion,etc, vise versa for Covenant. Or you can fly down yourself in a Hornet/Falcon. That is just what I think.

Wow, I saw no flaming whatsoever in this thread. That's incredibly rare nowadays, especially outside of MLG Cheehwawa's posts. Anyway, I really like this idea. As the OP said, there are many issues with this (personally, I think spending time on a cruiser would break up the much-needed fast-paced action the gameplay would have) It'd be so cool to see something similar to this in Reach because the basic idea is awesome.
Maybe after you drop for the first time from the cruiser, you have the option of spawning from a base located on the map. So red team would get a red base, while blue team would get blue base. So you can spawn on the cruiser if you want weapons, or you could get straight into the action.
What I think should happen is it should be like real life where when you die you dont spawn back i dont mean like once you die you dont spawn back but like when the game starts your a spartan but when you die you spawn in the ship as an odst or a marine (or start as field marshall elite and keep going down until you hit minor if your covenant) so that its like there sending out reinforcments (sorry if i spelled that wrong) do you see what i mean?

I think it would be cool to be able to call in ODST NPCs to fight with you. It could be Covenant vs. UNSC and they could call drop pods for points. And maybe it starts as a space battle, and to win you have to get 200 points, blow up their base, and blow up their ship.
