ok this sounds like you guys are trying to compete with a series that isnt even up to par with halo...I have played every online multiplayer shooter on any console you can imagine...Nothing even comes close to halo. Like the one dude said...i disagree with the whole weapons point system...sounds wack. Second of all the large 20 v 20 sounds great but lose the unsc cruiser spawns...third of all ...everyone likes different things...some like sniping some like shotguns... personally my favorite halo gametype is swat...it requires more skill and no room for error. Dont go changing around everything about a series that is already elite. Just frikn beef it up. Build more maps and make the biggest frickin online war possible... dont do all this jibberish with weapons point systems... just get some new armor...upgrade the weapons, and maps... or theres a good idea...instead of weapons points systems use the points to buy upgrades for the weapons.... suppressors, different handguns...flashlight for the shotty you know basic stuff that gives people incentive for owning fools.

but getting into a chip evrey time you die is going to take a lot of time of the game, it would be better if the player had to make a sertain number of kills to get to the ship again.

20 v 20 would be suicide for people with poor or moderate NAT types, but yea, it sounds like a good idea.

Death is the only thing that is inescapable.

Bada-Bing Bada - BOOM

Imagine this:

You have a 20v20 game, and you can choose who your playing against, ie, like elites vs brutes, ODST vs elites or the ever classic elites vs spartans

in options, you can create bots that will play with you and against the other team. this way, you can play this alone or with 19 of the UNSC's finest!

anyway, you start on a ship and have to select your weapons from the armory. after which, you can proceed to a longsword, HEV, or a pelican (or you can go ODSteve style and jump off LOL)

if you get in the longsword, you can engage other dropships and fighters before heading down to the planet.

once on the planet, you take up defenses and there's 2 minutes of preparation time which can even be bypassed. then the fun starts, depending on your strategy, you can attack, defend and direct your troops. if an enemy drop ship is coming in you can direct a tank to blow the -blam!- out of it. if you want to, you can change the landing point of the pelican to go straight to the enemy or to where your troops are situated. this means that it merges the concepts of Halo wars and the other halo games.

cool concept defiantly

Join the Spartan I Project! SIP welcomes all, Spartans and Elites for a friendly gamming socity and a place for everyone to help each other with achivements and ranks the ligitamate way.

I think it would bring a new sort of era to the firts person shooters never in a game have I heard of calling in a drop for your wepons it would be a good idea!

But I think that you should get more points for differnt things like a head-shot gets 5 extra pointsor streaks like 10 points extra for a killing spree. points earnd in the playlist should also effect rank.

mabey if you started in the carrier you could odst style drop pod in or grab a pelican and fly in. you could have like longswords and short swords in the hangar to assault the other carrier or have an orbital bombardment.

but it takes away the feel of an fps and there are other normal fps modes aswell so it would not fit

this is a great way to have the game i would liked it if it was like this

  • 10.31.2009 7:43 AM PDT

i like this idea greatly and as i read throught the forum i got more and more excited with the new ideas and stuff i would add my own idea....

maybe you could have squads of 4 or 5 in different sections cut of to the rest of the whole map with people doing slayer and stuff in one part with objective in other parts and maybe a sky above with the carriers and normal airships and as one squad does well in their section other squads will get benefits.

one example would be protecting the weapon and vehicle carrier as it came from the main base other wise the enemy can blow it up and the weapons might fall near the enemy also as the whole team's squads do well they can flush out the enemy of that section of the map then making it easier to spawn closer to the enemies main base. for a final battle or something i would like to see a sort of bot system like gears 2 so if many people leave you won't have 18 on 4 and the last four don't want to leave from fear of losing exp etc...

just my thoughts anyone agree?

Best thing, I've heard especially the Assault to finish it up, It add more to the game. I love the idea for the perfect map, because in Halo, I really feel like I'm "Alone" there isn't a sniper covering you, even if you have a person next to you, They probably will wait 4 you to die then beat down the guy who killed you. Although you didn't think of it, It was a great idea. But i think the weapon shop is no can do, because game play would take too long and people would camp out there and be afkers.

That is a fantastic idea! However, I wouldn't use the point system because that would feel too much like a different game.

  • 11.01.2009 12:49 PM PDT

Great idea.

But how long would it take for you to get down from the UNSC cruiser? It can't be too long, or the other team would have an easy time planting the bomb.

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.



i like ur idea of the pelican/phantom crashing like that but, i think u can survive the pelican crash. it depends on what part of the pelican crashes on, were it crashes, how high ur elevation is, and how much impact/damage u take. other wise ur lives should be just 1 shot from a plasma pistol to a 1 shot carbine from dieing. + i really lov this post. i had a very x1000000000 idea for this map. but the crusers/ships r in space and the objective of it was to "similar" blow up the oponents ship w/ a bomb. then u must kill the remaining troops. but if they r on the ground most of ur enemie troops. u should take ur allies bring them to the ship and launch a almost explosive like nuke missle. WARNING: u can only do the nuke after the ship is blown up. and dont worry about ur enemies on the ground they will hav no were to go since their ship is exploded. the enemies in the air would probably just be killing them the old fasion way. blow them up lol. other wise this is the greatist idea i hav ever heard.cross ur fingers bungie will make this. WE NEED TO BEAT THE PS3 PPL! OPEN URE EYES! well thats all i hav to say lol. peace :)

P.S. if ure pelican is carring a warthog or mongoose or scorpian etc. if it get hit/damgd enough and ur crashing the vehicles should fall of and get destroyed. i will add more to this post wen i com up with it

No, I don't want to join your group/clan/team/community.

dedicated servers like bungie has a host machine that has perfect connection that costs like $14.84 a game that is like 8.4 million dollars a year bungie won't do that

On the new hundred dollar bill the time on the clock tower of Independence Hall is 4:10.

The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building. EPIC FAIL!!

I do like your idea. The Halo multiplayer should have a massive multiplayer experience much like Killzone or Mag if the 360 is to compete with the PS3. I like the idea of a massive Team Slayer battle. 20 on 20 sounds great. Like you said, it needs dedicated servers...
I very much dislike the idea of a "weapons shop." Well, I dislike the way you decribed it. Players, once dropped on the map should be restricted to stay on the map. That means no respawns in UNSC bases or cruisers. Such respawns would take away the "feel" of the Halo Multiplayer Experience. The option to choose weapons before respawning would make the game more like Call of Duty, and to be honest, I like The Halo Multiplayer idea of finding your own weapons... Here's a thought. A player can access the shop, during gameplay, but not before respawning. (The player should first make sure there are no enemies around, as they can kill him or her while he or she accesses the shop.) 20 to 30 seconds later, a UNSC or Covenant (depending on player class 'Spartan,' or 'Elite,' or anything Bungie may want to add) weapons drop takes place on that location. But like you said, it would cost points earned from kills. I do like the idea of pelicans or phantoms dropping vehicles for players to use...
Which brings me to my next point. Before the teams can access the bomb, and make their final assault, they need to reach a total of 200 kills. Not points earned from kills...

In addition to the idea of "the perfect map" why not create a few perfect maps? Instead of one?

Ever play Gears of War? I like it's game type Warzone. This game type has rounds of elimination in one match. I would like to see something like Warzone (team elimination with rounds) in Halo multiplayer. And I like the idea of 20 vs 20.



I don't know if the 360 could handle massive online games like MAG. Maybe it could do 20v20 but I heard that PS3 beats 360 in processing power or something like that.


Battlefield: Bad Company did it, so can Halo.

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.


I would spawn in teh cruiser bcause its cool to drop and kill stuff on ur way down, maybe smash someone with the pod, have the door do that badass thing that it does, you know, it goes SHHOOFFFF! and flies off.

Looking to hook up with some competent players! Please PM me if you want a decent team mate, looking to learn from good players and impart what I know to the team too. Im sick of going 'randy' and getting betrayed for the sniper etc.. and having to put up with BK team mates

It sounds like Halo wars meets COD meets Halo,

Im not sure I like it, it sounds too complicated. But kudos for thinking outside the box, perhaps we need a new game type every now and then to make things a little more interesting.

  • 11.01.2009 11:38 PM PDT

Is Sounds Great ,
What could happen like a free mode like you're idea but you get join and go whenever you want it has an unlimited time limit and like you're idea get points to unlock weapons a bit like a mmormg ( massive multilayer online game ) but in halo 3 + u unlock Armour after points as well just an idea tho , but i really like you idea as-well XD.

the last part sounds to much like cod
but the game type sounds awesome dropping into battle would be cool
