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.
yeah that could work. Honestly how did you come up with this great idea?

In the shower, it just came to me. Seriously

Great idea

Althogh I have to admit I'm a little jealous that my Big Team Scarab gamemode thread didn't attract this much attention but feel free to check it out if you find it.

Basicly to describe it one team defends and drives a Scarab while the other boards and destroys it!

and honestly I had a nearly identicle idea but didn't post it because I didn't think it was realistic enough. and both my ideas I just thought up in the shower as well, best place to think!

OMG... This is like the greatest idea ever man I hope bungie will consider it is just sounding so beast to me!

Maybe if you have good communication with your team, you can Coordinate a team drop.
Once your whole team spawns back on the cruiser (after being killed on the battlefield), you can coordinate a large assault. Whole team drops down at once.

All the other team sees is 15+ HEV pods falling out of the sky. Sweet...

No, you must be mistaken, you see, I'm correct and you're wrong. Simply put, if I'm arguing with you it's because you're so dumb I couldn't let you live another day without you realizing how retarded you really are... I wish I had a girlfriend =/

Holy -blam!-! You are onto something great!!! This, anyone could enjoy, including just Slayer fans, or Objective fans.

This, eveyone could play, and it could even have it's own ranking system, that would be beast. Also, have you thought about implementing other Objectives into this? Like maybe, a one bomb tactic, where you have to buy a bomb with your points, and everyone gets a chance to arm the bomb, and anyone could have a bomb, but the points on a bomb would be ridiculous.

Or maybe a based is locked down, and it costs so many points to unlock the base, so that you can get their flag, once again forcing Slayer into Objective. Everyone wins.

Yeah one of the big things about this idea I think is that it's supposed to make the game fun for everyone, I think even more objective could make it better.

Reach MMO. Here's to hoping.

And the people that believe "the hardcore playlists would be more popular if the rules were strictly MLG" can come off it, now. If you're not willing to support something close to your own setup, there's no reason for us to believe that cloning our own lists and stripping the variety down will attract more people. -- Shishka, Bungie.net

Yeah, I like...good thinking. This would add an excellent twist to the same old Halo multiplayer.

  • 08.14.2009 10:37 AM PDT

i love the idea except the weapons shop but the vehicle drop sounds cool li8ke how in call of duty you can get air strikes and choppers and stuff

  • 08.14.2009 12:30 PM PDT

Sounds like the perfect kind of map to implement a Pelican on. Maybe in addition to other methods of getting down, there could be a hanger bay. Holding everything from a few horners, to a pelican.

SQUEEBLE

Killzone 2 has a similar idea to this, with their dynamic Warzone multiplayer. I definately think that Halo: Reach should have a dynamic multiplayer element, with changing game modes as the game progresses.

This sounds like a good idea, and I think it should be elaborated upon. I think Territories and VIP should definately be integrated into the dynamic environment, and your idea for weapon purchasing might be rather interesting as well. Of course, balance is key, but Bungie could pull it off.

It's great to see so many supporters.

There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.

I'll be honest the idea of being able to call in a Pelican/ Phantom respectively really grabs my imagination as a gamer. This game mode would make a brilliant addition to Halo's game modes although I think it would be best kept as a social playlist.

I think this would be a great idea. Their should also be drivable pelicans, longswords and flying vehicles like that. When the HEV pods drop you should be able shoot them or run into them with flying vehicles. When they get shot it could get the people inside killed, the pod gets knocked off course or blown up depending on what they got shot with. The pods could accidentally hit flying vehicles and make them crash. Imagine your flying a pelican and all of the sudden it gets hit with a drop pod. You try to keep control of it but you can't. Your pelican crashes and you die. In the wreckage your teammates see a wrecked pod open. Someone comes out of the pod. That someone then kills you.

kyle

this is exactly what this game needs.... to me, after taking the BR out and doing a couple other tweaks im not happy about, they are going to need to add something HUGE to this game to get me to buy it and this would defiantly persuade me. but about that guy saying it would be like call of duty with the weapon shop... i agree. i like the idea of them just dropping weapon pods down (like the weapon case things idk what there called) and getting vehicles dropped off would be quite epic. the 20 v.s. 20 is actually more possible than most of the ppl on here think... for example "frontlines: fuel of war" has up to 50 players online multiplayer and when i rented it, it wasint laggy at all. and thats 25 v.s. 25. for those of u that cant do math. this is totally possible and would be an amazing idea and addition to the game... we just gotta get bungie to consider this.

  • 08.14.2009 2:57 PM PDT

I think this is the best idea Ive seen in any forum. But I disagree on the idea about 200 kills for the bomb. It should be more as social big team without a bomb it is 100 kills. With over double the players it should be more kills like 250. And you should also set a one minute time limit for the cruiser so you have time to get what you want and wait for teammates to descend with.

Yeah I think the weapon case things would be better than a "shop"

  • 08.14.2009 3:47 PM PDT

Before you ask, YES, I know that it's spelled "Spartan"

Yeah they better! YOU HEAR ME SHISHKA!?!? I aint typing for nothin!

Yeah I think one of the big problem would be if people stayed in the cruiser.

instead of the fence and cruiser idea for the weapons, you should be able to call in weapons with your points (like the vehicle idea) except it takes like only 10 seconds........ oh and you get full clips

a lot like the other ideas on this topic, but genius idea
