That's a good idea. I pictured it in my head and it seems very enjoyable.

This would be an excellent idea. It pleases play styles of all sorts of people and everyone has a chance to play to their strengths. Unfortunately, I don't think this dream will become reality, but a great dream nevertheless.

This sounds really cool but I think it should be set at the beginning of the game or whenever you respawn and use different points besides cR. If I buy a weapon and then someone kills me and takes it then I would have just wasted my cR.

This idea is pretty good i would like to see a change in halos multiplayer dont get me wrong though halo is great how it is but once in a while it would be nice to see something new for a change and this is probably the best thing to add on cause a lot of games get there success through a game type like this and if halo brought this in it would dominate the game world it already has pretty much every other game type out there this would just be another reason why halo is one of the greatest games ever created but what makes me sad is that its been almost 2 years since this forum came out and no sign of a game type like this in the halo world and that dissapoints me. i am sad bungie has left halo but maybe the team from bungie that worked with halo and is joining 343 will or have seen this forum will take this great idea to the later to come halo games. So hell i fully support your idea and love to see this game type in the future.

My face will be the last thing your pathetic eyes ever see - Ripa 'Moramee
PROTOCOL DICTATES ACTION - 343 guilty spark

heres an idea...
you start out on a frigate/corvette. half of each team drops to the planet/moon/asteroid/smiley face and sets up a base.
the frigate/corvette team have three phases. if a team wins, the teams get sent down to planet with more weapons and vehicles, and the winning team get an uber unit.[see end of post]
weapons avaliable are
start:
UNSC and frigate:AR, BR, DMR, pistol
covenant corvette: plasma rifle [type changeable in options], carbine, needle rifle, plasma pistol
100 points: all weapons avaliable to soilders in phantom or corvette
200 points: all weapeons.

frigate/corvette:
phase 1: destruction action. the frigates get sabers and mini mac guns [cant damage corvette] the corvette gets seraphs and AA gun [as seen in tip of the spear]the mini macs and AA guns dont respawn and it can be chosen if they are computer controlled or not. the goal is to destroy all minimacs/AA guns and board the enemy vehicle. each team gets 5 units in aircrafts at a time.
phase 2: boarding action. frigate gets sabers, pelicans, Mini macs [if operational] and a hidden longsword [see end of post]
corvette gets seraphs, phantoms, AA guns [if operational] and a hidden modified seraphs [see end of post] the pelicans have...
3x AR marine
2x shotgun marine
2x sniper marine
1x rocket marine
1x spartan laser marine
2x spartan with 1: gauss cannon [like on a warthog] 2: dual energy sword.
phantoms have:
3x grunt or drones with plasma pistol [options]
2x needler grunt or drone [options
2x plasma rifle brute or elite [options]
4x jackel [sniper is toggeled in options, can hold carbine, beam rifle, needle rifle,focous rifle or plasma pistol, snipers cant hold sheilds ]
1x hammer cheiftan with 2x brute shot bodyguards or
1x sword elite with 2x concussion rifle elite
2x hunter [one with regular fuel rod gun, one with beam fuel rod gun]
the goal is to get 2 or 3 phantoms or pelicans on board, then deactivate energy sheild blocking way.
phase 3: battle action
the troops from earlier have to fight there way to the barracks, armoury and engine room.
ground team:
the goal is in 3 gametypes: slayer, assault and invasion.
slayer: the teams have to kill 200 people.
assault: the team have to put a bomb in a shield generator
invasion: the teams have to steal a data chip.
vehicles: all non-spacecraft vehicles are drivable, exept for scarab and mythos [see end of post]. each team get 2 of each vehicle at start [exept scarab and mythos] but all are computer controlled and you have to buy drivable vehicles. if a vehicle is destroid, they respawn without being re-bought. weopens are the same if they run out of ammo. all vehicles [exept sccarab, mythos, scorpian, wraith and aircraft] can be dropped in via pelican or phantom. pelicans and phantoms can be flown to deliver AI and players to battlefields. weapons can be dropped in the same way as in firefight, but not if your team loses the space battle. if a team wins the land battle, everyone teleports into the space battle, and the winning team gets either a modified pelican [mini mac and EMP ray] or modified phantom [EMP rays and forward firing glassing ray]
hidden longsword: if you stay at origanal spawn point when phase to begins, then go backwards to the map of planet, and press a, you are teleported to the longsword spawn.
modified seraph: go to AA gun turrent, wait until phase 2, and then turn around. the door will be closed, and a ladder will be there. climb the ladder to get to the modified seraph spawn
scarab and mythos: they drive themselves. more info on mythos can be found by looking up halo CE extinction. its a pc expansion for halo CE.
love my idea or hate it. just dont say you hate it.

dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

holy crap! this thread is still alive?!?!!

regardless i still support it.

  • 07.02.2011 2:54 AM PDT

hi

no way im gonna by weapons for points! id rather find the weapons and use em! but it would be good if all the weapons from other halos would show up. =]

  • 07.02.2011 3:17 AM PDT

yh? i typed that myself. i'm very proud of it.

its a good idea. and with a few changes ( i cant think of any, but i'm sure bungie/343 industry's could) it might work.

my only problem with it is, it keeps on reminding me of Section 8 and the upcoming Dust514.

then again, loads of games are similar to each other. so basically, i'd be happy either

  • 07.02.2011 3:37 AM PDT

This tread existed even before reach came out, anyway i wont think it would work, you know with the lag and the lack of processing power of the 360.

343 should do this for the next xbox.

  • 07.02.2011 3:46 AM PDT

Win or die trying!!

xbox barly has lag your thinking of ps3 but this game may have some lag. but it would be cool if you could make a forge world wide map and go anywere and have bases with weapons falcons rocket hogs and scorpions with a bunch of anti vehical weapons on the map so they dont dominate. and it could also be like a multi team 8 teams of 5 or something like that and each team got a base with good weapons (like a sniper or spartan laser ect.) and vehicals (falcon rocket hog ect.) and the vases would be scater on the island rock and the cannyon mabey some in the sky I think it will work.

  • 07.02.2011 8:03 AM PDT

This would probably be impossible, due to bad servers. If all the people in the game had good servers though, it would be an amazing game. I'm all for it!!!!!!!

  • 07.02.2011 10:52 AM PDT

This would be awesome. You should send this idea to 343i.

  • 07.02.2011 11:25 AM PDT

This needs a tl;dr description. I read it, and don't really care for it either way, but I know a lot of people won't even bother with this soley because of its lengthy description.

  • 07.02.2011 12:16 PM PDT

"If you're to die without a friend, you're to die without hope. If you're to die without a hero, you're to die without a model. If you're to die as a friggin troll, you're to die as a n00b without friends who totally just ruined the meaning of this awesome signature."

I love it. Major problem. I would not be willing to invest my time unless there was some MAJOR credit jackpot. All in all, it seems like an upgraded version of Invasion. Still, it's a great idea!

  • 07.02.2011 1:51 PM PDT

Gahhh! What is that my friend!?

Im up for it! XD

  • 07.02.2011 8:54 PM PDT

Yes that would be awesome no doubt(s)

  • 07.02.2011 8:56 PM PDT

dubah5 with a cherry on top

Thats a great idea.

The only thing would change would be the gametypes. You might want to add a few more game types like headhunter etc. into the game.

  • 07.03.2011 10:40 AM PDT

NILCHY PILCHY

This idea sucks.

  • 07.03.2011 11:17 AM PDT

your correct the idea is ok but 20 on 20 you would need to build a map bigger than like spire and boneyard put together just to survive when you spawn im not arguing im just saying bbungie would then have to make another map pack just to get a new map on halo reach anyways if you've noticed BUNGIE ARE HIRING FOR PS3 SO XBOX HAVE COMPETITION AND THE NEW HALO TRILOGY WILL ALSO BE ON PS3 ACORDING TO A REAL LIFE BUNGIE VIDEO I WATCHED AND MY HALO GEEK FRIEND EVEN SAID SO HIMSELF He knows everything a bout halo and soz for caps i JUST HATE PS3 SO BAD soz again

  • 07.03.2011 12:30 PM PDT

and to top it of, there is a space battle part to give your team air support. overall great ideas

  • 07.03.2011 2:56 PM PDT

ya, and you could also through ranks into it. Like you start of as a grunt if your covenet or marine. then like odst or jackel and so on. you rank up from the kills which give you points. You could make this whole idea an online game :)

The in-game ranking idea isn't good. The point with Invasion was availibility of Armor Abilities during the different phases. Just make it a massive Invasion with other game modes merged into it e.g. Invasion + Assault + Slayer (Invasion is Teritories + CTF, Invasion Slayer is Slayer + Teritories) + Some sort of Space Battle.

  • 07.04.2011 10:27 AM PDT

i still think halo should have a zombie firefight mode.

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle- victorious"

IT WOULD BE COOL IF THERE WAS A GAMETYPE IN WHICH THERE WAS A GIANT FLOOD INFESTED COVENANT SHIP.2 TEAMS OF SPARTANS AND ELITES HAVE 2 BOTH RACE 2 AN ESCAPE POD WHILE BATTLING THROUGH WAVES OF FLOOD ON EITHER SIDE OF THE SHIP. IF THEY BOTH MEET EACH OTHER AT THE ESCAPE POD THE GAME AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES A SLAYER MATCH 2 THE DEATH.IF YOU DIE YOU BECOME PART OF THE FLOOD AND HAVE 2 STOP THE SURVIVOURS.

THUMBS UP IF U WANT THIS COOL GAMETYPE
