Driving Hogs is what I do.

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.

Calling in battle-mechs is completely different to buying weapons, and using points to buy things isn't a copy-right.

Does anyone think that anything we say will ever make it back to any who makes halo games.

I can't believe this thread is still alive.

the weapon bonus would be a horrible idea. It would give an increasingly unfair advantage to some while making it an uphill battle for the rest.

I think that you could add an invasion twist and make people take areas for extra points.

well people who says its a lot like games that use points to buy stuff one game doesnt own that system multiple games do points are just another word for money to buy stuff and games have been using that for ages and thats like saying. OH YOU BOUGHT A GALLON OF MILK YOU COPIED ME!! just because games use something that a huge amount of games use doesnt mean they copy them. They are just using a universal idea.

Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas. - Joseph Stalin

Well, iy would give some people a chance to try out new helmets and armor, other than always using Commando shoulders...

its on the most popular forum posts so if people keep on it theyll see it

  • 06.25.2011 9:44 AM PDT

i like it, reminds me a bit of invasion, but i ABSOLUTELY HATE THE IDEA OF CAMPAIGN SCORING

  • 06.25.2011 9:51 AM PDT

Halo + Battlefield= Maybe??? Sounds interesting though

  • 06.25.2011 2:52 PM PDT

I think it would be awesome but I don't think it would work

  • 06.25.2011 6:07 PM PDT

go i say and give that of which is yours to others that you both may benefit from it.

i am in love with the idea, but i don't like how you have to "buy" the weapons it would give too much of an advantage, and some one would mod/ glitch into the catches/holds and get free guns. Another idea is that instead of loosing your points when you " buy " a gun or weapon drop you get to keep them and build on them.

  • 06.25.2011 6:28 PM PDT

I think that the players should have to gain their own points for weapons, so that you dont have some idiot wasting the teams credit

  • 06.25.2011 6:29 PM PDT

ove 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. :)

I love this gametype

ok im thinking that with the gun buying idea of mine i am thinking that you could buy only one gun to make sure someone doesnt have almost impossible kill combination for weapons like shotgun, energy sword, spartan laser, rocket launcher, plasma launcher, grenade launcher, sniper rifle, focus rifle, fuel rod launcher. make it to where you can buy only one of them that you designate once you get the option. Most other weapons you buy can be rebought unlimited times. And i like armour abilities make it (just as it was in invasion) to where the first abilities you have if you are a spartan sprint. If you are an elite you hace evade. you can buy the others for a price equal to the rest. Except for armour lock :)

Now i have ideas to expand the limited ammo gametype. Vehicles cost 2x if not 3x as much as in the normal mode (as they do have unlimited ammo) and you will not spawn with grenades you will be able to drop in crates of 50-100 and your teamates will be able to access them as well as you but they will be VERY expensive you will be able to carry ammunition crates to safer areas (inside buildings) and it will be like carrying the core (you cant attack you cant use armour abilities) i would make it that the crates are very endurable and can withstand plenty of damage before being destroyed (small explosion of crate would probably happen after destruction) i would finnd it perhaps good if there are like 3 rounds that way so if somebody gets lucky and gets plenty of ammo you will get another chance. Pls give ideas

This would be completely awesome, but seems more like something you would find in CoD or Battlefield.
