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.


Dude, I am not kidding, NOT KIDDING, I could effing SWEAR I said that somewhere.

Look! A distraction!

My only fear is lag. I'm liking the idea but 20v20 seems kinda laggy.

yes i would love this game type it would be action packed and feel like and actual battle also the perfect map would be really cool if it was like a city on reach or something

Canada is America done right

this would be an awesome idea. it sort of sounds like a 2142 kind of game scenario with a little shadowrun mixed in between.
for anyone who hasn't played 2142 before it is amazing, and the games (depending on the map) sounds a lot like this. 4 5 team or 5 4team squads would be perfect for this type of game. now if its an open terrain will there be at least like a fall back area for people, and will this have a multilevel platform, like ground level, second level on a building and than a roof top level. also you spoke of vehicle drops well how about ammo drops

"Life's a Beach"

that is such an ossim idea!

I ♥ Bungie!

Hell yeah drop pods!!!

  • 11.14.2009 10:05 PM PDT

This sounds like a really cool idea. Just as long as it doesn't lag I'm all for it. Maybe as your in the drop pod you can control where it lands. On top of a enemy, or next to a group of your teammates.

sounds a lot like the game "section 8"s multiplayer, but thats fine, because section 8 reminds me of halo anyways.

  • 11.17.2009 2:00 AM PDT

Fancy talk is the new pink!! O_o

I agree completely, and one of the weapons could be control of the MAC gun, which can cause incredible damage.

  • 11.17.2009 8:23 PM PDT

yes imagine u spawn on a unsc cruiser and an officer says pack ur bags ladies,choose ur HEVs.u go in a HEV and u put ur weapons in ODST style.u go down crash and then a fellow spartan would rip off the front hatch if ur landing kinda failed"Cmon big guy time to move"
i d love to see halo squads with different roles like heavy gunner sniper CQC specialist etc.i dalso like the idea of ur character building skills with weapons like kinda better accurasy,faster reloading etc
i also really like the idea of weapon/vehicle drops and the pelicand.keep it up OP

The D-Pad.. isnt it a perfect fit?
--- Hold Left D-pad to select what weapons are available for purchase and quick drop to your location with the available points you have
--- Hold Right D-pad to select which Vehicle you can pool ure points into so that your team gets closer to getting a pelican drop off of said vehicle
--- Hold Down D-pad in case of emergency reinforcements to your position for assistance... that is as long as you have enuf points to do so.. or else you are alone my friend
--- Hold Up D-pad
> for squad leaders, hold it to select which other squad you wish to speak to ( u can choose from a list of three other squads ) and talk away!
> for squad members, hold it for a couple of seconds to veto the leader, (at least 3-4 players have to agree and hold it at the same time- or just tallies could work too)


Great idea's, i think this one was the best.

i think it would be kind of cool to do something like the CoD killstreak... just a thought.... like have a few hornets fly overhead and give coverfire, or have a pelican drop a few marines and a bunch of supplies (ammo a few weapons and a warthog or something)... just a thought

I know a lot of people will hate me because a lot of people hate CoD, but whatever

i like the squad idea. maybe before the game starts you have to pick which squad you want to be, pick from alpha, bravo, delta, and charlie or something

There is nothing wrong with Halo:Reach. We all just have our gripes about everything we don't like. Not liking something doesn't make it broken.

Well, someone in the FPS world better learn to do it.

Did you know the Ps3 is releasing a game called 'MAG (Massive action game) that can support 100v100 matches?

Now what if I mention the game is having a perfectly lagless Beta test? My freind is in the Beta, he is loving the fact that the game has yet to lag bad enough to effect gameplay.

Hnn...Train a green laser on a spot for ten seconds (Ten is a while, sure, but fair considering its a MAC gun.) and then POW, Right in the kissers. People would die, feelings would get hurt and somehow Urk would still be funny during weekly updates.

I'm all in favor of killstreak, perks, etc, as long as it's all balanced. This post/thread is epic win.

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.
Wow this game mode sounds extremely sick and i like the idea of a weapons shop

(1)the only way to escape death is death itself.
(2) pwn the world bungie
(3) never give in to BS, your always going good in your own way.

(this will sound like starwars)they should have a gametype where two cruisers (unsc and covenant attack each other and you can man the cannons and deploy ships(banshees,pelicans,hornets,phantoms)an land inside and sabotage the ships

well 20 vs 20 would be awesome... but i was wanting like 50 vs 50 but only if they can prevent lag i don't want them to have a hard time with any of the big team matches... but ya anyway i totally agree with you

  • 11.20.2009 2:03 PM PDT

Dont be angry, I'm obligated to whip your ass; if I didn't you wouldn't be getting your moneys worth.

seen this idea several times over the years and am def down for it. Def disagree with the buying weapons part though. Not a bad idea, I like earning the points and everything, its just that buying weapons and then having to ODST drop to the map is gonna take a while and so should use either have default weapons or preset loadouts for the characters. ODST drops would be sick and you can actually pick on a map where you want to land. that would be dank.
