I speak the truth, and truth speaks itself.
The lies disguise what you despise.
Run. Flee and be, what you've always dreamed.
What happens now won't matter later.
What you see will not be, nor what you imagine will not happen.
The end is close, so take your dose.

I'd say as an addition to the vehicle drops: You can call of the vehicle drop at any time, but you don't get your points back.

The catch is, though: If you die before you call off the drop, there's no stopping it from coming in.


Pelicans and Phantoms should be able to die, scoring you massive points, and severing the enemy team's resources.

That's a great idea. But I agree with you the only problem that would be posed is a "dedicated server." Without a "dedicated server," this game mode would have no chance.

Wow over 1000 votes. When I made this thread I was worried that no one would see it, and it would be a waste of time.

So its sorta like Battlefield, halo style? This sounds like an awsome idea. It wouldnt be easy to make, but if anybody could pull something as epic as this off, I would vote its Bungie.

The idea on paper is good but in practice none of the super epic uber battles take place. With a map that size all the action would be spread out. Take battlefield for example, it takes ages to get to the fight and when you get there its all over and you get killed by that damn helicopter flying around the place. What bungie has done with the halo games is they have made small maps with power weapons, this requires you to use teamwork to take the power weapons and to achieve map control which makes halo different from most fpses which are all basically kit based games
have any of you played battelfield bad company online??

what happens is you start off in your bases and the map is quite small to start off. so you fight in a certain area for a while then once the objective is reached by one of the teams the map opens up some more and focuses on another part of the map that has a different environment and has certain advantages for certain classes and vehicles.

so one bit is big and open for vehcicles and snipers to dominate and then you move on to a area where buildings surrond the place and its more close combat.

so you could kinda do that i guess have an objectve in one area then move it to the next area or if it was slayer you only get a kill in this area or someting.

duno just throwing in that idea

i can only count to jagermeister.

Anyone play Section 8? It is almost exactly what the OP described. I think it's fantastic and if Bungie did something like this, it would be that much better.

I think you can download the demo on XBL.

  • 10.01.2009 2:10 PM PDT

Were it so easy.

I made a little picture for the general idea of what the maps blueprints can sorta be.

Note that just because one area says it has grenades and the other doesn't, doesn't mean that there aren't grenades or a kind of weapon all over, it just means in that aera grenades are more common.

Also, its symmetrical, it would be the same on the other side. You get dropped off on top of the base (you can go in from the top).

Btw, I know its a bad drawing.

This sounds awesome, but i would -blam!- hate for it to be like CoD or any other game out there, I want this to be original, and if anyone can pull this off im sure it'll be Bungie

(idea: terrain & weather)

i think it should be more like vahala on halo 3 but alot more bigger like 3 - 5 x bigger and a big base for both teams where close quarter combat takes place. i think this because its good terrain with rivers and rocks but i think they should be a mini forest / overgrown part where flying vehicals cannot see you + also i think this sort of area would be good for snipers.

they could be more than one map e.g. 3 - all with diffrent terrain like snow and ice with blizzard weather.

Should we spread this idea to other forums? and aim to get 10,000 votes! because i really want this to happen! and i bet most of you to has well.

2:)

Personally I love the idea but maybe a not the weapon shop. You ever seen the begining cutscene in ODST where there is a big weapon rack. Well at the begining of the game you get to go over there and grab one weapon, then go get settled into your pod. Later in the battle unless you get more points you just spawn with an MA5B (Assault Rifle) [in the first game].So, you drop, but heres the catch when someone gets enough points you can activate the Anti-Air turret. You can get shot down, or live. You can either put a pre course, or you get drive it. So with a pre plotted course you can land in your lands but take the risk of getting shot down. And with you driving it you can dodge anti air fire, but you might land in enemy land. Thats my idea.

No, don't spread this idea to other forums, the moment Bungie shows another trailer or something, people will rush into these forums, and they'll see this thread, we just have to keep it alive by getting good ideas

Your fellow gamer,

-Kingoldmaster-

Great Idea! but...

i don't think it would be really possible because 400 ppl... wow thats a lot of bandwith, and it would be a pretty long match, but if it wuz posssible (and didnt lag) i would play it

  • 10.01.2009 5:39 PM PDT

As nice as this is you're basically talking about mixing battlefront the perk system in COD to call in "vehicle drops" and as awesome as it would be it would never happen because it would need dedicated servers

Spartan119 the Red Raven.
"So officer tell me how it feels to be at the wrong end of that barrel?"

not to take credit
but ive had the idea of spawning in drop ships and being flown into combat for a long time now... just didnt want to share it cause id like 2 use it in the future.

  • 10.01.2009 5:59 PM PDT

Every night at the stroke of twelve, McHenry would lurch from his grave, REEKING OF ASS AND DEATH

So pretty much... This is Battlefield 2142.. IM GAME!!

  • 10.01.2009 6:15 PM PDT

I like it. I like games with a lot of players.


if you ask me tho. I think it would be cool if there was a game type called "skulls." in witch you would select witch skulls (the ones from halo 3 campaign) would turn on. it would be like oddball and slayer mixed. (or any other game) you score by killing. but if one team picks up a skull the enemy would get its traits. like if red picks up black eye blue has to bash there way to better health. and so on and so forth.

what do you think?

  • 10.01.2009 6:21 PM PDT

so basically combine -blam!- zombies take out the wave system with BTB in a ridiculous map combined with the CHAMPS variant from halo 2 and make it so you could play 20 people. gl with bungie ever trying anything like that

  • 10.01.2009 6:35 PM PDT

Bleh!

This is the best idea I have seen on any Bungie forum. Halo 3 is awesome, Halo 3: ODST is even more awesome,but this amazing. I would play this non-stop.

Nice input. Care to elaborate on why you think that rather than just call us idiots with nothing to back it up.

  • 10.01.2009 7:21 PM PDT

hunters are like the big daddy's of halo =D

its a good idea but instead of two UNSC TEAMS we need UNSC V/S covenant. and you start out as a marine/grunt and you can upgrade your armor to UNSC= sparten= strength ODST = less waiting time for dropps. covenent = jakel= better sniping brut = strength elite = speed sword main wep. ya mno stuff like that.
