Make the starting weapons a choice.

On the cruiser, you start off with nothing.

No fear though! In a room on the cruiser, there are several ammo crates!

You have access to:
-SMGs
-Magnums
-Battle Rifles
-Assault Rifles
-Shotguns(?)
-Sniper Rifles(?)

There might be only only two Snipers with full ammo(to prevent ammo stealing,) and three shotguns with full ammo.

The other weapons will be always there, but the Shotgun and Sniper will have respawn times.

EDIT: The other weapons will be on "The Perfect Map."

I agree with flameninga that would be cool and also to improve your idea in my opinion they should add a futuristic helicopter or something that you can drive/ride in carrying like 4 people not including the pilot

K this is a great game type, perfect for Halo. Only problem is it is very much like section 8. But they used firefight (GOW2's horde) in it so might as well. This would be the best game type ever!! I think u should be able to have custom games attached to that. also 20 on 20 would be soo perfect. It would also be cool if it was elites vs spartans (could change to human vs. human or elite vs elite) Also i think you should be able to pilot pelicans or phantoms. since this is 20 on 20 it should be done.

Bloom is only as random as you make it

Words cannot describe how epic this would be if Bungie decided to make a gameplay mode like this. I have to say I wouldn't like the whole "buying weapons" thing, since you said this would be a perfect map, it should already have all the weapons on it. I do think however, something should be done to where areas with better weapons are "unlocked". I would love for there to be, say, two or three different "perfect maps" that you drop to. I wouldn't want it to be "Covenant vs. UNSC" but simple Red Team vs. Blue Team fun. I think it would be a bit upsetting if you were forced to be stuck as a race you didn't want to play, either human or elite.

I love your description of what this perfect map would be like. I would love to have the vastness and open landscapes to tread across or snipe, and then have the tight enclosed quarters for CQB (my favorite style of play).

One idea I would have for one of these maps, and bear with me on this, but I would love to see one of these maps being on Threshold, the gas planet that the Gas Mine is from in Halo 2. Now I know it really wouldn't be part of the Halo: Reach story, but remember this would take place before Halo 2, so it could happen. I just love how it takes place on a gas giant planet, suspended in the air. It would be multi-leveled (literally like the size of the campaign level) with tons of narrow hallways, but also open areas for sniping. I think it would be awesome to be able to go outside the mine and have banshee battles in the sky.

I dunno, it may seem out of place, but something similar to that would be awesome. Really I just want to see some forerunner structures again, cause Halo 3 was almost nothing but human/earth locations to fight on, with the few levels from the Ark.

If I had one wish for Bungie.net, it would be to be able to change my username. Even if it cost me Microsoft Fun-Money, Space Bucks, or Stosh Dollars. That is all.

I have an idea for a map.
Have a large I shaped Canyon with the covenant or UNSC ships on alternate sides(one is bottom right, the other is top left)
then, on the side of the canyon, have multiple entrances to sancutary type areas sort of like a mini epitaph and have portals linking them together, but the portals wondn't have spots for people to "hunt" off of. This setup would allow snipers to try shooting people crossing in the middle while you can also enter both sides from your base side. please reply with different ideas.

a lot of good ideas, if bungie can take the idea, and develop it, and find a balance (map, teams, weapons, ets) it could be awesome...

...or bungie might try, and they might fail (hope not, but its possible) and make a huge mess of things, however, reach would be the best setting for a 20v20 style game mode, definately the best game to put it in considering the story.

they could adapt one (or more) of halo wars' maps to a huge team battle setting, like wars' blood gulch.

Sounds great im glad someone has come up with an actual idea and not a couple little things from H3 they want changed for reach.

Problem is however fun and innovative it may be Bungie would never make anything like that because 1 there lazy (ok i admit that thats a little harsh maybe i should go make a awesome game... :( and 2 because your idea would be far too complex for the majority of halos players anyway, dumb 10 year olds or at least people with the minds of 10 year olds who only play to "show their mad skillz and beat there friends and prove there better' but maybe, just maybe Bungie will come up with some great new idea and not the same thing we have seen over and over and now with odst over again.

  • 10.16.2009 2:38 AM PDT

And to add to my post playing this amount of awesome would burn anyones 360!!! : D

  • 10.16.2009 2:40 AM PDT

OMGZORZ? No seperate SWAT Playlist? Are Bungie INSANE?

Im game.

Good Idea.

Maybe even a sort of online RPG experience which determines the guns and grenades you start with.

AW GOD I would Definatly love this!
Especially dropping in a Pod!
The gametype would be awesome to the Halo Universe.
I mean rly???! Outpost grab sounds pretty wicked other than territories its WAAAY better.

And bringing back the Campagin map from Halo 1 the second level.

DUDE I totally think that would be the awesome kind of map for it.

ANd maybe they can make 2 or 3 more maps because that level is pretty huge.

its an amazing idea but bungie will never put it in they never put in great ideas like a remake of blood gulch or pelicans and i will cry if they dont put forge in

  • 10.17.2009 6:47 AM PDT

Bronies to the end, i will stand by you, but i expect you to have my back

Rainbow dash, there can be only one

You just got 20% cooler from reading this

yeh good ideas, but that would be too hard for bungie -sarcasm- but seriously i dont think they would because of the lagg, the kids, and a team bsers. Also it would be like firefight in odst, 2 hours=game freeze

[b]Posted by:[/b a remake of blood gulch
(sorry for double posting) they did remake blood gulch, its valhala, but i think blood gulch was way better

  • 10.17.2009 7:25 AM PDT

Wow, this would be such a great gametype. i like how you spawn in a cruiser then go into the battlefield. When i first heard of Halo Wars and i thought is was going to be FPS, this is exactly what i was thinking. i would pay 1600 points to have this.

  • 10.17.2009 8:06 AM PDT

This could be the whole game honestly. It has everything you could want. Everyone gets into their comfort zone, CQB, sniping, BR-ing, and heavy weapons or vehicles.

If Bungie was to skip a Weekly Update, the very fabric of spacetime, reality, and the Universe, both Halo's and our own, would be bent and contorted into nothingness. It simply must be done.

this is one of the BEST ideas for reach i have ever heard. i would never play another game ever again!

ar mabye a 2:00 time limit and once it gets 2 30 second it u get a warning and if u dont u die
woops again, i'll re-write.... u get a 2 minute time limit and once it gets to 30 seconds u get a warning and if u dont get of the ship..then u die

Why not do it so that you can choose to, either drop with a HEV drop pod, or with a pelican or some other flying vehicle out of the ship. Also a time limit should still be used but mabye in the lines like 1 and a half minute. Also, and this doesn't relate to the spawn itself but still would improve fast gameplay, would be a player limit of 25 vs 25. Oww and destroying the opposite team's ship with the "end bomb" would be awesome.

PS. AI could also keep up gamespeed.

I like your ideas, but the time limit should be one minute, so people that are away from their controller don't play at all.
(It would kick them.)
