love the idea but i would try like an extra gametype to where you have to order expensive ammo caches and weapon crates and make it to where ammo is realy rare and primarly bought by ammo caches, you will still find weapons lying around and pick up weapons from bodies but make it like a half of clip for each weapon pick up, and to where you can pick up more rare weapons and just get ammo instead of buying the weapons.

It would be cool if you got half of your matches earnings from how much total you earned in the matches instead of how much you kept (to prevent hoarding that would make it suck to play) and you could custimize the weapons you by (put your own personal logo/paint on your weapon or other) it would be awesome if you could change your energy swords glow Green Red etc. but make them uber expensive.

I also think it would cool if you could utilize special abilities from your sides, UNSC/Covenant, like if your covenant get emergancy lift back to ship or if your UNSC get the ability to use MAC rounds from orbit to decimate enimy positions with a lot of other abilities but i would make it to where they both had identical abilities just differ like emergancy evac if you were covanant it would be very fast (they would just have to do the one lift to get you up to orbital ship make it go fast) but if your unsc make it to where they have an Bot controlled pelican (or other air vehicle) and make it to where its slower and the MAC make it to where UNSC is very fast and does heavy damage and leaves massive crater where it hits or Covenant make it to where it is glassing it goes more so slowly and thinner (about as wide as a warthog and goes at running speed you can stay away for it but make it to where it leaves huge ditches just deep enough to where you can jump out of it. make sure it can be used as cover. but make sure they are extremely expensive. I would love if you capitalize on this or alter it people :) pls tell me what you think.

P.S. i think the 360 could handle even up to 80 people in the match but I would make it to where there are three choices in the number of people 40, 60, 80 as it goes up i would imagine more lag would probably apear but if you want more people just go to 80 if you want less lag go to 40 if you want middle 60 again pls tell your ideas

P.S.S i also find the squad system in mag cool make it to where you dont have to but you can organise squads of 4-8 and designate a squad leader and when he buys stuff it is 25% less points to spend. i would find it cool if you are on the elite sides if you could get the old honour gaurd armour from halo 2 i also think it would be cool if you could get facilities on the map some there since the start some when you buy and get them constructed in areas that grant you with more points for spending (not for victory) and they are able to be captured and used by the enimy or just MACed glassed or destroyed. i would raise the amount of kills needed to like 300-500. i also think you should be able to positioon barriers for defensive positions and does anyone wish for jackel shields? again another idea you can switch sides if the other team is losing and has less people like if your a covenant elite and you switch over to UNSC you would become a heritic or if you are UNSC spartan and you switch over to the covy you become a rebel once you switch over you will be set as an enimy by your ex-teamates and you will not be able to atack them once you switch sides during the "traitors folly" period lasting for 30 secs to 60 unless you die witch you are then on your NEW allies side but are still the race you were as you will have your weapons switched though and will have abilities of your new team but you will not be able to switch over to your enimies team again. now i would like for the mac and glassing to be activated by a laser targeter for the mac and a covy computer designating where and to what direction it goes to if you use a mac against a scarab i would make it to where if it is a normal scarab it will kill it (ironicly they are living things lol) and if it is a heavily armoured one its legs will be destroyed and grounded it will still be able to use its cannon and aa gun i would imagine you could still destroy it like in halo 3 if you kill a scarab it will explode into a crater = to a mac blast if you hit a regular scarab with a mac round it will explode immediately with a the blast radius and force of 5 times the force of the mac blast it will be immediate death for anything not heavily armoured (if there is a phantom, shadow, or pelican in the area it will crash but will not be destroyed you will be put near death and so will anyone inside if you are half health left you will die if you are shieldless you will die but thats if you are in the kill radius if you are in the damage radius the it will be damaged but still flyable. these are still only ideas thanks for reading. :)

Will this "perfect map" be forgeable?

  • 06.22.2011 12:51 PM PDT

I agree covy verses UNSC would be pretty cool. I've always wanted a mode which felt like fighting the covenant that wasn't invation.

but it you couldn't make it in reach it would have to be done in halo 4 you'd have to remake half the muli-player engin.

One quetion could you survie a mac if you had armour lock.

Yes. The only way to die with armor lock is with a killball.

What if instead of just spartans and elites their where neutral teams like gutas, monitors, moas or floods. (Gutas will just be AI of course)

Now that makes more sense because six months before the beta they were allready advertising the new weapons.

I've always wanted a game that does that!!!!

10 months and 203 pages later, this is still a very bad and unrealistic idea for a game

  • 06.22.2011 3:43 PM PDT

This sounds cool! I would love to see something like this!

"Ducttape *N* Dynamite"

"It solves everything"

sounds cool

funny question i would try to make it to where the area is "hot" and glows read cause of the heat of the impact crater to where it would outlast the armour lock and it will kill you quickly if you do not get out fast like in 2-3 secs

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.

^ That right there, cool story bro

got an idea for that make it to where you are able to order Bots for them in and they atack only the enimy via shock collars or something, and for the flood remember those pods that were like odst ones they dropped in Halo 3 were like id use something like that but they are comepletey uncontrollable and attack everything in sight once the drop is activated they keep dropping for rest of the match and they take controll of dead bodies making an almost neverending tide of enimies this would probably be a extremely desperate measure as they attack everything and are powerfull but half the team MUST agree to the drop or else it wont happen (to prevent traitorism or noobs for ruining everything for your team) for the moniters i would change to sentinals and repair sentinalls (picture the ones in halo 2) make the spawning chambers (from in halo 2) that they pop out of primarely use them for defensive measure and if you want them to follow you push up on dpad or something like that the repair ones will repair vehicles outside of combat). I would like pitch in the idea of making the one mac cannon at the end of halo reach in for an uber amount of money for the covenant counterpart make it a heavily armoured scarab. keep pitching ideas pls.

  • 06.22.2011 9:51 PM PDT

we need more maps and game mode

  • 06.22.2011 11:17 PM PDT

You should be able to use your cruiser for mac rounds that you get if everyone agrees for them (KIND OF LIKE DOUBLE DOWNING IN BLACK OPS) and than you couldn't do it again until a certain amount of time passes.

Good ideas. We need those sentinels. We need the Forerunners to come back to life after being destroyed by Halo and the Flood.

EDIT: Hang on, what on earth (whatever) does a Forerunner look like? I have a feeling they're orange on the inside.

the points 2 buy is cool but i tink it could be 10 v 10 but astrieght forward objective like domination on cod :)

  • 06.23.2011 12:18 PM PDT

I'm not trying to put a downer in this great idea but to me it sounds a lot like the game section 8. In section 8 you score points by killing people and with the points you can call heavy mech suits, tanks, and etc. If bungie were to do this they would be copping section 8. However, I really like the idea and that's why I chose yes.
