Subject: Would you like this new game mode

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

Still surprised to see this thread. This is one of the few ideas on these forums that I believe should be made into reality.

Yes, very creative... and would there possibly be Halo: 2 and 3 weapons? heheh. And a dual weild effect but for a big cost

I like your idea but I think your over complicating it. But this is coming from me a guy whos up at 2:00 AM.

I really like this idea and think it would be a nice and fun game type. Although it would be hard to pull off, I think Bungie could do it and maybe as a DLC.

Surely this is proving massively popular and its awareness needs to be raised somehow

i have an idea. there is a small mountain in the black hills, S.D., called harney peak (guys, keep your heads out of the gutter) that would make a great map. there are only 3 direct routs to the top and the teams would land on the beginning of the trails in a pelecan. if you died, you would: A;pelecan lift to the beginning alone, or;B; a squad leader marks a point and you drop in HEV to thar spot and continue. the first team to the top would have to protect it with 2 machine guns. the other team could then call in weapon and small vehicle drops with their points(tanks would not fit between the trees) the dead troops from the summit would have to respawn at the trail start. when the summit is first take, 50 points awarded, but if you take the summit from the other team, 100 points. the summit team can only use the few weapons in the base and gets no weapon drops till the base is lost. this match would take maby 1.1/2 to 2 hours bur would be satisfying. you could keep your armor color and species, but a small team flag would be on the right shoulder, and for the 2 squad leaders (2 to each team) a large, permanent flag from capture the flag would be there. the leaders would be chosen by rank. and the winning team would each recieve cr equal to the remainig points. Example: the points are pooled into one, and it is 5000, so everybody would get 5000 cr if it were on reach.

Looks cool. I would be surprised if it made the playlists.

mess with the best, you die like the rest.

KEEP IT CLEAN!

- Played and beat every single Halo game.
- I believe Halo is the best game series so far.

Bungie is the best company ever. I am obsessed with you guys!

Awesome idea, too bad Bungie won't make it. Post this in 343 Industries' forum and maybe they'll put it in Halo 4.

Sounds a bit like Section 8: Prejuidice

Too dumb. The better player you are the better weapons you get. CoD much?

Na. Section 8: Prejuidice much is more like it.

  • 07.21.2011 1:19 PM PDT

This sounds like a very well thought of game type, well done.

  • 07.22.2011 9:25 AM PDT

This sounds pretty awesome to me, except for the vehicle drops I'm not a fan of.

If I may interject here.
Now I'm not trying to be fanboyish here or anything, but in CoD better players don't get better weapons.
CoD's ranking system is boring. Anyone can get the highest rank just by playing the game enough. Then you've got all the weapons.
But onto my main point of my argument.
You say the better player gets better weapons... well in Halo...that's always happening. The better sniper will always have the sniper. The better BRs-man will always have that BR.
Sure, you could have a noob just play and play the game until he gets enough points to buy a sniper, but can s/he use it correctly?
In pretty much all games better players get the better weapons.
Just my opinion, please don't freak out like the majority of people would.

  • 07.23.2011 2:25 PM PDT

Not a bad idea, I wouldn't oppose this being set up, but I wouldn't play it. It's too much like Zombies on COD Blops.

  • 07.23.2011 2:47 PM PDT

Weapon of Oppression

The only game breaker here is the fact that after a short while people will begin to quit, so where will you find more people for a team, if they can't drop in ?

NOTHING 2 DO WITH TOPIC: they should put elephants in halo 4, and not those halo 3 ones that go bout 1 km a year, one that has a roof and like opening doors with a button, but in return make it able to be destroyed. That would make me happy and add pelicans and troop hogs where you can actually get in the back not just AI's. I don't know how it would fit in the story of halo 4, because johns no where near earth, and the sheild world (I'm guessing the planet is) might have Spartan 2s and 3s plus Hasley but I doubt they'll b on the planet.

sounds good

  • 07.24.2011 12:09 PM PDT

This may have been suggested but i didn't read all 200 odd pages. What about instead of a weapon shop when your team reaches say 10 kills cumulatively you get a random ordinance drop like in fire fight or a random vehicle. You could get to 50/200 kills and get dropped a DMR or a sniper, a mongoose or a scorpion. Because i find halo isn't like cod where you choose the guns your best with i like the way that if you want a sniper you go find it or get it randomly dropped.Obviously if one team got dropped a scorpion and the other a mongoose this wouldn't be fair but i'm sure there's a way of making it fairer. This is just a rough suggestion with many floors but please take from it what you thinks good, if any. But over all i love the idea of 20 on 20 fight maybe more?! I'm a huge fan of BTB and love having so many people and vehicles everywhere it makes it so much more fun!

The 360 can't support a big map like that. If we lag in Forgeworld, imagine in this map..

  • 07.25.2011 12:12 PM PDT

maybe the 360 cant handle a huge map, but think about the next game bungie makes on the next gen consoles.... EPIC

personally the flaw that keeps on coming back to me is simply how difficult the map design would be just to make it lol. I would imagine this to be similar to invasion except objectives are a lot more spread out like on this side of the map people are planting bombs while over here people are just killing each other. A gigantic team pool of points wouldnt be spent by a single person, it would more or less unlock what people can buy and when milestones are met, vehicles start spawning in and heavy artillery comes in to play as well. Another glaring problem is that the game will start to get unbalanced real fast once one team gathers up enough points to buy a bunch of weapons because they then have no counter and hardly any way to stop them but i suppose thats how it would have to go for this to really work in the way i want it to

A Good Grunt is a.......... Happy Grunt

you have obviously put a lot of thought into this game mode idea but unfortunately its a long shot. ive dreamt of a flyable/interactive pelican or phantom since halo 2 online. but never happened. but dont give up... u could make halo history my getting enough "followers"/"supporters" for this idea to be included in the next halo (4) next year!!!!
p.s: might have to post on 343 because they own halo now.

  • 07.26.2011 5:57 PM PDT

i think that theres a attacking and defending team but when you get pushed back the defenders retreat back to the cruiser and defend it from there then the attackers have to go inside and plant or do something to blow it up.

the money idea is amazing and also maybe you can buy marines from the ship to send down to the battlefield and the kills they get goes to you but you gotta get like 25 kills or more to get them.

  • 07.27.2011 1:37 AM PDT

Ilike the idea, but like you said, you would need a good connection. the weapons armory caught my eye and i liked that part the most. i dont think they could incorporate it into halo because so many people wouldnt be able to play it do to using routers not made for videogame use.
