It would be a great idea,but do you think including a type of firefight twist would make it even better.

yes, but as a gametype for custom. i don't think that its kind of a waste of space to have a full spot on the main menu. and maybe tone it down to like 100 or 150 kills, most of us don't have 2 hours per game.

Wow i think this will become one of if not the most popular thread on the Halo:Reach forums so far and if anyone has anything to say about how this is the worst idea ever to pass through a bungie forum then i do believe that they have no sense of creativity. On the same note, it's nice to see a thread without people talking about a rocket launcher that shoots teddy bears and all of that useless nonsense. A mature group of players that has a creative yet still comical sense of creation that wants only to further the experience of the Halo universe with ideas by the players for the players is the base idea behind the Bungie forum website. This thread will hopefully clear up the MC's from OMFG's. (If you want an explanation on this terminology then i suggest you think about what a mature player would post about and what the casual "Oh whatever, that looks cool, or who cares." player would post or reply on.

True, however that will require AI involved in a server. That would be fun, but Bungie won't like it.

You could have different game types for it too. One could be like the one you said big team slayer to assault, but there could also be a capture the flag/ territories kind of thing you could also include kill streaks like call of duty were go on a killing spree or running riot of somthin of that sort for a artilerry strike or mag rounds be dropped or if you really wanted to be evil overshields for your intire team or invisiblity.

The game type also sounds awsome unless if you hate big team but then you can syick to 4v4

Yeah this is a mandatory gametype.

  • 10.17.2009 7:54 PM PDT

this game type would own!
FTW!

  • 10.18.2009 8:06 AM PDT

like an ODST drop pod at the start of ODST, starting those explosive bolts to get out, and the ability to steer your pod as u fall :)

i am wetting myself w/ anticipation

even if there was like only one map, it would be awesome. I hope bungie at least acknowlege the drop pod HEV thing.

  • 10.18.2009 9:36 AM PDT

For those of you who keep saying this is just Section 8, Bungie has had the idea of dropping onto the earth since Halo: CE and the books came out. This idea is completely original.
I also have some ideas for the perfect maps. I will try and draw them out.

Your Face!

SIP FTW Btw, You must Join or The Governator will Come after you!

QFT.:D

To anyone saying, "Add drop pods!It would make it cooler!" it's not going to happen. Halo: Reach is about Spartans and only Spartans. Spartans can just jump right out of the ship and that's why they don't need pods. Anyway, that would totally defeat the purpose of drop pods being unique to ODSTs only.

EDIT:Double post. :(

You're gonna mess with me? Remember, no squealing to mommy...

I must admit, the idea of a massive multiplayer idea is a fantastic one, but in my opinon, they should also call in a Glassing ray or such, but the interface would be hard to follow, maybe someone accidntally drops a vehicle on his friend? their friendship would end ubruptly because of you

Great idea, it would be cool

No, to much like Section 8. You took almost all the idea's from it. I like the idea of the pods but it's not very original and for the map idea, well I didn't think that was that great of an idea.

  • 10.19.2009 8:14 PM PDT

love the cruiser idea, and from that i have a new entire game idea...
it will be like Halo mythic, no campagin.
You start off as a marine... you progress through ranks and get promoted (like COD's Prestige...) after your career as a marine, you are an odst... and enter games as such... anywhere, any time... but you lose 50% of stamina on drop... then as spartan you fly in like marines, drop in, or just spawn... you could also play as brutes, then elites, then elite honor guards... the map would work like vahallah, sandtrap, or avalanche, and it could use a time of day localized light editing system(in short, if its midnight where you live, its dark in the game for you but not for the people across the globe...

the idea of "buying guns" is uncanny but i love the pelican support idea....
and there could be a forge mode with tripled object value and every object ever used in any map in forge, ever.... AND THEN SOME! lol...
if you are still reading i am almost done...

if you start on a cruiser, then the game flow could go like this.
battle 1: spawn on a cruiser. experienced players run for turrets and shoot other ship while noobz run to a hanger.
battle 2: take to the skies with hornets & pelicans VS banshees(worked like in ODST) and phantoms...
battle 3: teams land in other ships and wreak havoc on the other team... after a time limit or score limit is reached the loosing team's cruiser is destroyed after they evac to the planet below... the winning team is dropped by their carriers and get to keep their air support. at this point you have to have skill to win aginst the previous victor.

you fight on land or sea until someone else wins... best 2/3...
if the covies win the air battle and sea battle game over... but if they lose the sea battle its an all out war near a lake... land, sea and air...
or smaller quicker battles of one battlefield. not all three...

at the lobby it seperates into green team and purple team... in the appearance section you set 2 soliders up... your covenant trooper (brute, elite, or honor guard elite...) and your UNSC solider (marine, ODST, or Spartan) and if you are purple you get your covie stuff and vice versa... but different teams equipment can be picked up on the battle field...

if you read that all thats just my halo dream game... mabye reach will be like that... probabaly not...

...whew my hands are tired...lol

Would be cool too, to have 1 team covenant & 1 team Human So we can really utilize the custumization of Elite & human armor. Like cod 4 makes 1 team terrorists & the other good guys. shoot even just randomize the characters we play as. Some spartans marines ODST's, Elites, Jackal's Hunters & Even Grunts Just make the little bastards Spawn times faster for grunts & do sumthing Like randomize the Character type you spawn as

PS I like the Idea of starting off as a marine & Progressing to Spartan Can change it up & start as a grunt if you spawn as covenant & progress the same way.

i like it. but it would be awsome to shoot down a pelican to keep your enemy from escaping, also drop pods would be a good idea. pelican drops should require points though.

  • 10.19.2009 11:55 PM PDT

Hi! <3

Of course this sounds like fun, but whether or not it fits in a Halo game is a completely different thing.

I personally think it does not.

  • 10.20.2009 1:21 AM PDT

Join SIP(Spartan I Project), the friendliest group on BNET.

This idea is great. I do think that every 50 kills you get a mac blast that your team leader(in kills) gets to fire.

Awesome Idea, I really like the fact that after you get your 200 kills you have to plant a bomb also, If bungie would even Take the time to turn this into a real multiplayer game then i think that they would be able to make this into an awesome multiplayer experiance. I really like the idea of buying a weapon drops and having to wait and protect an area until they come ( for weapons and vehicals) Maybe if youre team gets so many kills and points then the whole team could choose to put those points together to get something big like a scropion or gauss warthog, just my idea on it

  • 10.20.2009 5:15 PM PDT

HELL YEAH MARINE
wait didn't a girl marine say that...
great idea though

  • 10.20.2009 5:20 PM PDT

Good Job ,but maybe a 45 second time limit and it automatically ejects you from the ship
HELLO

  • 10.20.2009 5:41 PM PDT

I think a boat type vehicle would be great for 'The Perfect Map'
