Subject: Would you like this new game mode

Something worth checking out but truly I was adding with Urine Competent's post to add that the squad shares the points and if they get enough then a curtain cache is opened for the whole team to use.

The gametypes I believe should not mix and keep it simple like that and if it would be 20 vs. 20 (preferring 16 a lot more) then I don't think the map would have to be too big (about triple the size of Valhalla).

The hardest problem in this would be communication. It's hard to play when sometimes they'll be in parties or not have a mic so Bungie could pull an Infinity Ward and make it to where you can't play that specific matchmaking game if in a party and for the people with no mics better use their guts then.

I think it's a great idea however I think I can come up with some, hopefully, cool suggestions. Perhaps, when you go in the pod at the start you have the ability to slightly steer the pod in a certain direction, however, once you'd started to turn you carry on going in that direction.
And also, instead of it starting off as slayer then changing into assault maybe it should be a gametype where each team defends and attacks objectives scattered around the map, similar to Battlefield's conquest mode. That way you can still keep the theme of having many battles going on at once whilst also allowing it to have the possibility of large scale battles.

Fancy talk is the new pink!! O_o

The hanger idea(IMO) is kind of like on Starwars battle front2, where in a space battle, you start in a hanger, with fighters in there...adding to that, how about have it so they could switch between space, and ground fighting, like in the package.

Then it would become it's own game.

points remind me of cod, and vehicle drops from just cause

plus vehicale drop in map will lead to cheaters, like replacing the moongoose (around 100 points) to something more expensive like the eagle (1000 points) therefore geting the eagle only for 100 points

Nobody can really object to this as if you don't like the idea, just don't go in that playlist. But personally id give it a go, especially with the whole chain-link-fence idea.

This is what Reach needs, lots more different gametypes.

What have i done...
i have unleashed a monster
for of which has no body

i really like this idea and i think that be a new mode where you can make bots and they play with you like AI without campagin and play with you for people with no xbox live or not so theres no lag when u play it they can also put 4 player this would probs replace custom games and you can forge the maps on local maybe

I love it. To add to it I would say instead of having just one ship, why not have two. One for each team. And while the battle on the ground was happening, there could be a space battle going on simultaneously. flyable vehicles would include longswords and seraphs. It would also be cool if you could go into the enemy ship's docking bay and go inside. And this is a little much, but I've wanted to be able to do it since Halo CE: be able to fly pelicans or phantoms and have people sit in the troop bay to ferry them back and forth from the space battle to the ground battle. But i also like the idea of the drop pods. I know my idea is a bit SW Battlefront-esque, but I do love that game and it would be cool to have the best of both worlds.

20 v 20 would be awesome could be , on side is Spartans other is Brutes

  • 01.03.2010 8:20 PM PDT

this is a great idea maybe use the new mombasa with some changes obviously make it daytime. great idea

  • 01.03.2010 8:32 PM PDT

i think weapon shops in the cruiser would be cool cause your trying to get to the pod first kill like 10 people go get a br for some extra force to get to the pod

and they can have designs TES Christian

-SWAT-

I'd like to give it a go.. but with a map of that size and, not forgetting the amount of players, it could be too laggy to be good. Nice idea and i would love it to be implemented or tested but i doubt it would work.

the problem with testing it would have to be internal because i dont think that bungie would be able to get this out for the beta and also im not bothered about the no. of players as long as its larger than 8 vs. 8

What Marines Fear: Flood
What Flood Fear: Bad Bodies

this sounds cool, and all, but its a little complex, and overly complicated. IF it does work here's how I think it should work...

Objective mode: There would be a mode where its objective based, so each game varies. Examples of objectives...

Suicide warthog: One team gets a transport warthog packed tight with explosives. What you do is you find it in one of the bases on the ground. You have to protect it very well, and hope it does not blow up. You would have to drive it a long distance, and get it to the enemies ground base/warehouse. In the enemies base there could be a generator, communication device, computer or whatever. Once you get to this location the warthog will go off in 30 seconds. You most likely want to protect it because enemies might try to drive it away from the generator, but the warthog will still explode even if it is away from the generator. Once the warthog is set ot go off it won't stop the countdown no matter what.
Then basically the warthog makes an explosion about 15x a normal bombs explosion. Then that team wins. The game could work where both teams gets bombs, or only one team does.

Scarab battle: The covenant cruiser will drop a scarab on the battlefield. The covenant side would get to use it, and will try to eliminate the enemies. The UNSC's objective is to destroy the scarab before it destroys them. Simple. There could also be a gametype where both sides get scarabs.

Destroy the cruiser: The covenant have a giant anti-air turret on the ground that needs operating. The covenant try to use the turret to destroy the UNSC cruiser. The humans get a mac-cannon that is also capable of destroying the covenant cruiser. This gametype might work.

Slayer: Kill the other enemy, and the game would be like 200 kills. But the more kills one team gets the more weapons they'll get. Say the UNSC gets 50 kills. A pelican will then bring in a Gauss warthog onto the battlefield. Possibly you could choose where it lands. If the get 100 kills possibly they get a scorpion tank.
The covenant though will eventually get a scarab. After like 100 kills, or 125 kills they would get a scarab that would drop from orbit. The scarab could be destroyed, and would be fun to drive. Possibly it would have spawn points on it so soldiers could spawn on it.

Points?: IT would work like slayer, but you would get vehicles/weapons off of points. If you kill someone maybe you get 5 points. If you splatter someone maybe you get 10 points. If you sniper someone maybe you get 15 points. Basically different kills give you different amount of points. At your cruiser you can buy items with points. Say you want a scarab, and it costs 500 points. The bad side is that you lose 500 points, but you get a scarab that pwns enemies.
The game would probably go up to 1000 points.

Mongoose: 50 points

Warthog: 100 points

Gauss warthog: 150 points

Scorpion: 250 points

Hornet: 300 points

Grizzly: 400 points

Covenant:

Ghost: 75 points

Spectre(since this is in the past there are no brute vehicles): 150 points

Shadow: 200 points

Wraith: 225 points

Banshee: 175

Scarab: 500

THose are my ideas so far...

i really like this idea and i really think that bungie should put this in Reach. (i meen the game if u dont know wat i meen)
and like u said about the "special map" i think there should be numerus amounts depending on the lag

EX. a snowy map, a desert map, a forest map

btw about the forest map i think thats kinda small but if u take away the trees then there should be enough space (i guess?)

:D

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.


sounds a lot like CoD care packages and it would be lame if there was only 1 "perfect" map there has to be at least 3 or it would suck
