Subject: Would you like this new game mode

I'd like to see a mode similar to Battlefield or Battlefront where you have classes and a Reinforcement count. And by the way this is a great idea.

im sorry but i dont think i was quite clear enough TRY MODDING HALO CE CUSTOM EDITION there just has to be a way with all of the extensive modding available

  • 10.06.2009 11:26 PM PDT

I like that idea but there should be more than one map
also there should be campaign battles like 30 aside where one side are odsts and one spartan against elites and one arbiter using the new health system and they both have different missions
There also should be a flood firefight mode

How about -blam!-, just -blam!-. Nothing else. Seriously. It would look cool in the Menu too.

I'm not even going to explain why this idea can't happen.

  • 10.07.2009 8:27 AM PDT

Some good ideas, but I'd rather Bungie save this for a new game series. It's too non-halo.

Im not sure i really like the shop, but overall, this sounds amazing.... As long as i can fly a pelican. =D

Also, this would follow Bungie's ability to make some amazing multiplayer modes.

On thing that would work well, but I'm not sure everyone would like, is that one team is UNSC and one is Covenant, forcing you to be either a Spartan or an Elite, depending on the team you spawn on. Then UNSC would have the HEVs, and Covie would have those HEV equivalents. I really wouldn't mind that, as long as the other Matchmaking stayed the same, with no forced race.

It all sounds absolutely amazing, but i doubt we will see this in Reach. I don't think there's enough time to make a map this big, it would have to be like another Campaign level the size of The Covenant. And I wouldn't wanna see this in any other game. It sounds best for Halo.

It's something of interest to me. Sounded a bit like Battle Front. I love the idea of using points to buy weapons and stuff.

  • 10.07.2009 7:07 PM PDT

I think there should be an alternative. When you are on the Cruiser prepping to get in an HEV and go down, you could instead choose to get in a Pelican. The downside is that you have to wait longer for the Pelican to fill up, but the upside is you get a vehicle to deploy you and some team mates in the area of your choosing, and some one can stay on the Pelican longer to use the machine gun to provide cover while you and your team mates deploy. Another downside is that Pelican can be shot down with heavy firepower, and that you have to trust a human pilot. The upside to the HEV is that it is quick to deploy, and it hits the ground so fast that it would be near impossible to hit it with a rocket or laser.

I also think there should be a variant that has the "Perfect Map" with a Covenant vs UNSC theme. One team would be forced Spartan skin and the other forced Elite skin, and the Elites get access to Spirits and their own HEV pod.

armada: the game is like everbody has a bomb and you throw it at your enemy and they explode. the bombs will explode if they hit some one. the ejective is to get 100 kills and it's a free for all.

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

ever play bad company

capn crunchman

check ya later

Making tournaments with this playing mechanic would be insanely fun. it would be a chance for people to start going to new things and watnot

  • 10.09.2009 11:35 AM PDT

I am the leader of the resistors.............I shall accept anyone who wants to be a part of the rebellion............So join know!!!!!!!!!

I think its an awesome idea especially the part about the vehicle drop offs and the buying weapons with ur points. But it would be really cool if u could fly the pelicans and ride in them too.

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.


I love the concept, and I really like the Peli drop thing, and the Weapon stash Idea. they all seem really good. This would be a really fun game mode, but Even better if the score for the bomb went up, and if instead of HEV's, you went down in Pei's, and could even fly the Pelican. Overall, an amazing idea.

I know everyone's up in arms against a class system (which this isn't really, other than being able to purchase weapons, to an extent) - and don't get me wrong, I don't want a crappy class system like a lot of games have - but I like new ideas. I think this idea is very good. I like the idea of making Halo more than just two directional. If you spawn Guardian gold you do one thing, if you spawn Guardian elbow, you do another...EVERY TIME. Of course I love Halo and can't stop playing it, but seriously, some twists and turns and innovation would be very nice.

  • 10.09.2009 2:34 PM PDT

This wouldnt be a game type, this is a game itself. This game could be made using any war-based-game's theme. Battlefield, Halo,(maybe someday) CoD, ect.

This is the game that im sure many hav wanted for years. Perhaps if all these game designers and studios could work together then this game could be possible. It would take a good few years to perfect and make, but it could be a huge hit that every First-Person-Online-Shooter lover would want.

I would certainly enjoy this game, especially with a Halo styled theme.

Sounds alot like battlefield games... but with the halo feel, it would be intresting. id like it. have a covy and usnc teams with different groups. odst, marines, ect. grunts, brutes, elites.. or what ever. have all of them. would be neat.

GREAT idea though

i think its a good idea but you could have it one team is covenent and the over UNSC you can choose your class like spartan,odst,marine and fight on the ground and in space and its the first team to kill all there lives they get 180 lives between them and it would be 16 or 20 aside.

to be honest i wouldn't play it at all but i wouldnt care if it was included in the game tho.

I love this idea. There could be a variant that you get points for kills, but there are alring the bombso 2 bombs and 2 flages. You could bring bombs to multiple objectives in the enemy base to destroy them or have the flags be objects that the other team might need. You could also have the top player on either team be a VIP worth an extra point if they are killed. This combines Slayer with Assault, CTF, and VIP. You could also have a territory format where you can capture points and use them as a field base to drop down to in an HEV or Peli, like in SW: Battlefront games. That adds a territory factor in. So really, you could have a variant for all types of players. And if you go with assault, then the ship would be destroyed and respawning would either stop or that team would have a limited number of lives and the other team would have to mop-up in order to win, that way even with the ship destroyed the losing team would still have a chance, albeit a small one, of winning.
Really, i think that your idea is FANTASTIC. i support it all the way.
