I'm surprised this is still around.

This would be an awesome game mode but can the servers handle it! Maybe this is a reason for the next generation Xbox!

Great idea love a long match with so many people.

I find this idea very interesting and it sounds fun. To keep it balanced I think it would need to have the ability from custom games where people can join in progress so the teams don't become way off-balance and you have to be stuck in an impossible game for however long. I also don't like the idea of the store. I would much rather have new spawn points open up due to you doing good rather than getting new weapons.

I love it. but maybe there could be a space battle and like the humans would have sabers and the covenant would have seraphs is anybody understanding me? and like you could choose if you would like to go to land. but it would show a cutscene (only on your screen) of you landing in your ship then walking to a pelican in the hangar. and then you woulld ride a pelican down to the battlefield. plus if this is going to be its own thing, there should be AI's, for people who dont have XBL. otherwise, PERFECT.

nice game type, but very long and needs a new map. still, i vote yes.

Three is the poor man's seven.

Beat Myth II on Legendary Difficulty and you shall be worshipped for the rest of Eternity.

This is a job for the Xbox 720. Maybe Halo 6. (Or Halo 5)

Great Idea but I think the next console generation would have to handle that. Try BF3 when it comes out. It has that form of epicness.

  • 06.20.2011 2:50 PM PDT

i think that would be awesome

  • 06.21.2011 1:13 AM PDT

343 should put it in RIGHT NOW!

Three is the poor man's seven.

Needs dedicated servers, will take ages to find players, imagine the spam, imagine how long the list of players in the in-game lobby would be, would be awesome in-game though if made possible. 343 can't just put it in, they need to put time and effort into it and it would take months or possibly years. It wouldn't be on Halo Reach as the code for it is already written into the disk.

No, I think it's just getting started. Lucky me...

Very interesting, instead of everyone spawning on the same cruiser though, you have 20 Spartans on a UNSC cruiser with human weapons and 20 elites on a covie cruiser with covie weapons, it's campaign battle, totally epic.

  • 06.21.2011 9:25 AM PDT

I like the idea, I really do. It'd be amazing. Halo with simultaneous land and space battles. However, wouldn't the space bit be too much like Star Wars BattleFront Two's space battles? You would spawn in a hangar, repair your cruiser or enter a fighter, have an epic dogfight, then blow up the enemy's ship either from the outside or board and do it from the inside. I would love to have this in Halo, but it isn't too original. As long as they added the land battles to the gametype, it'd be alright. Again, I go back. One game of this... Bloodshed as I would call it, or maybe something like Engagement... would be combining the epic space battles and fearsome land campaigns of Battlefront 2. (Not BattleField, don't twist my words.) As I've said before, I love it. However, it isn't original.

People must play section 8 prejudice. This "gametype" has waaay too many similarities with section 8. Ex: Buying vehicle drops, dropping down into the battlefield, slayer mixed with objective gametypes.

  • 06.21.2011 10:17 AM PDT

Great idea! I like the store idea and not making it overpowered to where u can have all the good weapons by buying them.

  • 06.21.2011 10:28 AM PDT

In Case People Didn't Notice
This idea is already out in Halo Reach. It has it's own playlist, and it is based on many (though not all) of the ideas formed on this thread. Spartans and Elites battle over three different objectives as the two groups of six (comprised of three squads of two) clash in the gametype known to the community as Invasion. It may not be the 20 vs. 20 glory with spaceships, drop pods, walkie talkies, Scarabs, and weapon stores that we envisioned, but it's better than nothing.

  • 06.21.2011 11:10 AM PDT

Now THAT is a gametype! Going down to the main map in drop pods, buying weapons with earned credit, long-range and close-range areas; you really should try to get a job in the Bungie field A.S.A.P! That is some quality stuff right there!

Also, here are some suggestions that I came up with. I think besides by killing people, you can earn credit by assists, splatters, assasinations, sticks, etc; all being worth different amounts. Ex: A stick may be worth 12 poins; 10 for the kill (as suggested in another post) plus 2 for the stick bonus. Along with that, you should be able to buy armor abilities too, instead of just weapons. Ex: You automatically spawn with Sprint, but you can save up and buy other abilities with your earned credits.

I really liked the vehicle drop via Pelican idea that you came up with, it seems as if it would work very well! The 20vs.20 teams could easily be created by Bungie and supported with Xbox Live too.

However, using this gametype in Reach would be fun, but 343 Industries and Microsoft Game Studios (Bungie sold the HALO title to them) could very well use this gametype in HALO 4, to show off its vast capability and appeal even more to the HALO audience.

Either way, I think that this is a really great idea and hope to see it as a playable game mode soon! Why don't you write up,email, or call some Bungie representatives and see what THEY have to say, besides posting this miracle in an unofficial forum! I think Bungie would be very impressed...

most popular thread and he disappears and gets his account deleted
Bungie is like the KGB. Someone has made an idea that they didnt like, so they broke into his account in the middle of the night and deleted it.

  • 06.21.2011 11:36 AM PDT

Yeah, really. This guy is a really great thinker though. I mean he comes up with a great idea, and people are STILL talking about it. His orginal post of this topic lies all the way back in 2009!!! I wish he was still around to see this. That new gametype really would be something fun!
