awesome idea. the part about shooting down the pelican is sweet aswell :)

  • 10.24.2009 2:13 PM PDT

I think its great! I'm not sure if it is possible but it sounds like the multiplayer experience that I have been wanting, everything in one and a large variety of stuff to do. I think the rewards for medals is also a fantastic idea. I hope Bungie look at this and take a few hints.

People suck

Uh, yeah, no.
Halo =/= Battlefield

Would be nice as it's own game though.

Don't think of this as a battle field type game. think of it as a Halo based improvement of Killzone or Battlefield, but keeping the same Halo feel... Why do you people insist on changing the halo experience? NO CLASSES. players should have the same opportunities as every other player, just as the Halo multiplayer has always been. keep it that way... But, implement this game mode into Reach somehow... even if you (i'm shouting out to BUNGIE directly now) have to make a second disk for this idea.
The idea kicks some serious a** and i believe that many people out there would agree with me.

i like the way it sounds but you should be able to control were you land in the drop pod

  • 10.25.2009 3:33 PM PDT

!

I love this idea.That would be great!

  • 10.25.2009 3:56 PM PDT

this is a very good idea hopefully Bungie will listen if they cannot get a dedicated server maybe they could at least make it an extra game mode instead of multiplayer and you and up to 8 friends can play with AI (computers) Everything sounds perfect especially with everyone adding things maybe someone should send an e-mail to Bungie. if this is made i would buy for sure i would pay like 2000 Microsoft points for this. best game add on idea I ve ever heard also this is off topic but check my rendered vids

hola!

i think its a lil too much. i love the idea of a massive battle but the point system might be a lil too far fetched... at first. something like this would need to be taken one step at a time. it would have to be played on a map like New Membasa cept a lil smaller and i like the whole dropping off into the map part but it just needs to be a one time thing, for the rest of the game you need to spawn in the map, and dropping off in drop pods would be cool >:D

Awesomesauce.

one of the greatest posts ever, but id also like the option to buy a squad of marines, odst, or something of that nature of coarse costing many more points than a single weapon

very good idea :)

  • 10.27.2009 10:04 AM PDT

I used to get on these forums back in the Halo 1, anticipating Halo 2 days...I'm back :)

I must say, this has to be the best idea on this forum. Props.

Now I actually want this mode and will be disappointed if it's not in the game

Don't you dare even try it to be honest.

I like most of it except weapon shops, maybe that could be replaced with, 1 point you gain a secondary weapon during spawn, 1 point is a pistol, 3 points a SMG, 5 Points Battle Rifle, 10 Points Rockets, 15 Points Sniper Rifle and 20 points Laser etc etc

i would love the cruiser spawn but you have to drop after a max of 30 sec so there's not a bunch of campers.

This is by far the stupidest gametype I have ever heard of. Everyone in this thread is now stupider for having read your post. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.

/thread.

  • 10.28.2009 3:48 PM PDT

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.


Awsome Idea, I think it would be cool if you were ablle to change between odst and spartan. Mabey, as an odst U cud use drop pods and if you are a spartn, yo could go in a pelican, And if you are an elite (or brute?) you could go in a phantom.

There is no spoon.

I love the idea but for the weapon buy just have a small arsenal with free weapons (no power weapons) like AR BR Pistol and Sniper Rifle or there could also be locked power weapons that require points.

Shape Up or Ship Out*

i was about to toot my Section 8 horn but you corrected your self(smart). it looks like it would be cool to me since with the bomb the winning team would focus on something giving the other team a chance to come back.

also id love to see crusiers in the sky dropping guys to the battlefield. over all good thinking yes its like section 8 but you didnt know no harm no foul. only thing is it would break away with the game winning mold of halo but if its on a whole different server just for this game type sure y not. more for the players

i love the idea, but my only concern is: Why would anyone play regular multiplayer when they can play this? It just seems too good to be put into Reach, and besides I bet it would be a lot of trouble for bungie to implement this playlist.

  • 10.29.2009 8:17 PM PDT

Instead of making it a playlist (if Bungie can't) make it a separate disk like the mythic disk, kinda

  • 10.29.2009 9:58 PM PDT

This sounds very cool i like the kills and bombs type playlist that is very cool only part i dont like and is kind of unlikely is the shop but other than that it sounds cool.
