I think its an amazing idea. The only thing I would change would be the team size. I would change it to 15, but other than that, great idea. If there where a way to pass this on to 343 studios so they could put it in Halo 4, you should.

Ride Dat Pony!

Basically Section 8 for Halo.
Sounds better than Section 8.
Great Idea bro.
Doubt Bungie will do this due to maybe a lawsuit for "similar ideas".

Halo Reach is bad enough. Don't make it worse.

Well. If you are a recruiter, too bad, Im not buying. I have a family clan that is exclusive to my kin.
If you are someone else I dont know, I love the AR, playing Campaign, and I hate people who play multiplayer just to show how much better they are than everyone else, especially if they're just camping with the Sniper or Tank.
If you are still reading and dont hate me, then go ahead and message me, you seem to be a "swell guy."

this is an awesome idea the game would probabally need like fourty mins so 20 on each side you would have 2 min to load up your pod with whatever weapons and ammo you need you can steer the pod just for the laugh of landing it on someone you can choose to use all the explosives to blow the door off or just knock it off and jump out there could be weapon drops air strikes or vehicles called in with points the respawns would be on the next pelicans out with a drop the rest is the same as you

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.

This is a amazing idea and i hope it does comeout as a gametype but to add to your list of improvments i think asking for ur own spot in the main menu is a little to much but im all for ur idea for the gametype. also i have to disagree with the buying weapons because as u said there would be every weapon on the map itself so i think that the weapons on the cruiser would be a little overkill and also could u shoot out of ur HEV(for anyone who doesnt know what that is its a ODST dropod) and also the HEV should be invincble to make sure u dont get spawn camped while u r falling out of the cruiser

  • 07.05.2011 8:59 PM PDT

amazing idea, reminds me a little of star wars battlefront which was great series

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa I would love this new game type its awsome but i will admit the FEW flaws that u admitted sorry if u think im stubborn cause this might make u think i am. and since u made a lot of peo ple mad just let them trade for a pistol genius no just kidding but still u should give them a pistol along with battle rifle or DMR plus a lot of people think the vehicle drop was an idea from Black Ops wich i like equally to halo reach but u probably thought thought of it first and then maybe remembered it from black ops (or not). i am sorry this is so long but i took the time to read yours and i hope you take the time to read mine. thanks.

Your Official Squad Designated Marksman.
Star Adder Spec Ops

personally, i would simply dig spawning in a SOEIV (drop pod) on it's final, hitting dirt, then going at it. the pod would fade away after i left it.

why not make it a drop in drop out constant battle?
and i like the idea of a few maps when entering the drop pod choosing which battle ground your going to enter every time

also with the drop in drop out the eams will have to be balanced and you still get your post match xp or credits

also what if we made this on a completely seperate disc not one tat costs as much as a regular game but like 60 dollars i dont know but it would probably be better because you can fit this on a disc by itself better than a disc with firefight,campaign and matchmaking

having the choice of a pelican entrance or a drop pod entrance to the map would be cool

what if there were specific classes like gunner,medic, pilot, driver etc who had there own roles like pilot pelicans, heal people,operate big cannons drive vehicles etc

and a commander for each squad who can pull up options like hold ground, laze targets for te squad, tell them to move up etc when he dies the second highest takes his place

Great idea...

But to work and talk with your team better I would suggest for of a squad system or a grouping system with in your team.

Yeah those are great ideas. I was thinking of the UNSC vs Covenant thing, but I didn't even think of a squad system.


ie fire teams

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.


or each team could capture bases like king of the hill sorta or like HQ for any people who play COD sry bout the amount of posts but im just reading through and replying to things that could be useful

I think the game mode would be great and very addicting but I think you should lower the 20vs20 to 16vs16, due to lag. i think that another way to win is to destroy the other ship( but that would be very hard). Come on Bungie, make the gametype^_^


fly a bomb land in the hangar and drop it into the center of the ship but it would have to be after a while because imagine if 5 minutes in a team blew up the ship and won that would suck

there are some great ideas brought up here
especially sqaud leaders and pelicans being shot

  • 07.07.2011 2:10 AM PDT

í hefnd er kraftr

perhaps each fire team or sqaud could be issued with their own objective like fire team 1 plant a bomb in the cruiser or fire team 2 control a vital comm array

  • 07.07.2011 2:17 AM PDT

you should be able to find falcons pelicans etc on the map and return to your ship for medical supplies ammunition etc

what about including SOME AI such as marines and grunts just to give off more of a covey vs UNSC fight and to fill the map or maps a little bit more than just 40 players battling it out

  • 07.07.2011 2:24 AM PDT

what if they just base it in a place similar to forge world

  • 07.07.2011 2:29 AM PDT

I really like this idea. And I thought of a way to solve the camping problem. Instead of just a regular game of assault when you hit 200 kills, why not make it so you have to plant the bomb in the other teams cruiser? You could fly over in a pelican and have a squad plant the bomb, and get out of there. If it exploides, then the cruiser would fall to the map, and any players from that team left alive would have to try to survive for as long as possible.

Even then, instead of planting the bomb you could just bombard it from the outside, or even board it and take it over as yuour own. For ship to ship combat you could pilot a longswoprd, or a sabre, and hit the cruiser until it's sheilds went down and attack vital systems, like life support and the bridge. Killing these would limit the options of the cruiser and weaken it.

Also, I would bump the player count from 20 vs 20 to 40 vs 40. I think it's possible, and it would be amazing. It would be more practical also, if you had some players playing support (flying pelicans and doing vehicle drops, and piloting space fighters) and it would help with the spread of pleyers throught the map.

Instead of the weapons shop, you could just choose your role. Like and ODST, or a pilot, and that would give you starting weapons, with the ability to still find your own. Also, if you chose ODST you could have the option to enter the planetary battlefield via a drop pod, and give certian roles special abilities like this.

To even out the flow of battle even more, there would be a limited amount of everything. Pelicans, longswords, tanks, ect. Also, bumping the kill amount from 200 to 400, to acomidate the larger teams.

I dunno, it seems incredibly fun to me.

I am a firm believer that when bungie makes you spawn with a pistol, kill someone with a rocket launcher.

I have perfect candidate for PERFECT MAP!!! I say new mombassa from Halo 3 ODST. But with more buildings to go in and a few windows to shoot out of.
