Definitely has to be a type of Firefight game, where there are 20 players as Spartans and then several hundred Covenant. This would also help the bandwidth issue because there won't be, as originally posted, 200 players.


Well I think Bungie could turn this into another project, and make a whole new game just for this mode (But not for $60 like ODST, just to get firefight), bandwidth might be a issue but it would still be a lot better, and the overall graphics, gsmeplay, and idea of it would also be better.

theory live long

I think its a great idea, especially the big teams and the vehicle drop i get so mad when there's no warthog whenever theres a huge battle going on. great idea

the only real problem i see is the intense lag that, that game type would have...20 vs 20...is a pretty big party...but yet i like the concept....i would also like a big map and bungie should make an separate map type for this one game type i would suggest utilizing forge..have a big empty space..and let the gamer make the map...off course bungie can make their own version of the map...but give the casual gamer a chance also 2 have the power to put in a pelican or set a tree and make a real mountain instead of using boxes...but enough about me..lols..( i just want there bungie to consider upgrading forge mode...)...leave the old controller layout and amp up the credit....like sandbox was a great idea but failed to give it's full potential because of the short spawn limit it had....

This would be cool. It would be kinda like Battlefield 2142 when you use the missles to help destroy the ship/defend your ship but better

EPIC yes on this one and hope bungie makes this gametype :)

I agree with you on that, Forge should get an upgrade and Also (in my opinion) should get NPC for Training,Practices,Own Campaigns,and More Different Gametypes to have more fun then just always built a map.

I love to built maps as it is but this will make my free time better.

  • 11.05.2009 9:12 PM PDT

Bungie would have to tweak some things, but the idea...
Awesome.

  • 11.05.2009 9:57 PM PDT

all men are equal, except i am more equal than you because i am alive and you are dead

i think bungie should still be able to make this, because they had only one year to make ODST and look what they made ; an entire though short campain AND an all new mode. i not so sure about the waepon "shop" though perhaps you could have weapon caches like in ODST except of finding audiofiles you need to get a set amount of points to unlock them but i also like the weapon drop idea

P.S. this sounds alot like a mix from UT2004's assualt mode and UT 3' warfare mode but much better

  • 11.06.2009 3:28 AM PDT

Well thats a good idea Awekewainze but the bomb you are speaking of is a Covenant weapon as in the humans don't have it.

I am getting really annoyed about people making fun of my name. It has a sentimental value. It was the name of my first character in a game were violence is the forte. I was 7 and the game was Daiblo.

So as far almost everyone has loved this idea, so why don't we have a go at coming up with a name for this gametype?


World Domination? Also, what about calling in NPC reinforcements?

  • 11.08.2009 8:19 AM PDT

You should add in an option in the poll of: Good Idea, but needs tweaking and then have people specify. Like let's say I don't personally like the idea of getting Campaign scoring points and then buying weapons, but otherwise the idea sounds good I would choose that option.

SPOILER!!!!!! From what I have read in a Halo book.

Bungie will have to add something like this in the campain. If you read the book The Ghosts of Onyx, something like this happens to the rest of the Spartans.

I think that you could have maybe squads and that would give you access to vehicles such as the Pelican or Transport Warthog. Squads could spawn on each other with Orbital Drop pods and things along those lines

  • 11.08.2009 9:33 AM PDT

i think there should be a game mode where there is only vehicles. The player should start off with only somthing like a plasma pistol, or something of that nature. The map would have no weapons and no grenades. It would just be teams trying to kill eachother with only vehicles.

WAHOOO im so far back that noone will ever read this
sounds good

Urine Competent: I would change, as you anticipated, the part where we go and buy weapons with our points. Inside the Cruiser, there are numerous weapon stashes locked in chain-linked fences that become available every time you get a certain number of kills.

Each weapon stash, depending on how easy it is to unlock, would hold specific weapons (the stash that requires 100 points would hold ARs, Maulers, SMGs, and Frag Grenades. The last one that requires 100,00 points would hold a Spartan Laser, a few Swords, and a Missile Pod) These are just examples.

Ex. You get 10 kills (as you said) and imagine those 10 kills scored you 100 points. In order to open the first chain-linked fence to get to the first weapon stash, you need 150 points. Once you have 150 points, you can walk up to any of the stashes that require 150 points or less to unlock, and unlock it.

You bring up some good ideas.



mix the two and perfect game

  • 11.08.2009 10:09 AM PDT

thta would be awsome i voted yes but wouldent it take long to get 200 kills?

they already made that...its a game called "Section 8".

-you drop into battle from pods
-you can call in vehicles from battle
-you can change your weapon set before you drop
-you get points for killing things and doing objectives
-there are in game missions aside from just killing
-and you can have up to 32 players per game

dude did you take this whole topic directly from that game or what?

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.
best idea EVER!
