love the concept. possible solution to pelican camping: weapon pods like in valhalla u select your points. also the should be designated team captains. who can call for team points to buy say a tank. option pops up on the screen to agree to contribute X points to a tank or banshee or w.e.

do away with the whole pelican. respawns like in multiplayer. but have weapon pods drop like in valhalla. also point sharing for expensive things.banshees wraiths tanks etc when a designated team leader decides for a drop a poll pops up saying contribute x points to team for a tank y/n. captain is selected randomly and maybe a review happens about their quality of leadership affecting their odds of being captain again.

Looking forward to Halo Reach!

Sounds neat to me. Wouldn't mind seeing that in Halo Reach.

Perfect idea, only that I think that it shouldn't be like Red versus Blue, but Covenant versus Humans.

Example: Humans drop from UNSC ships in drop pods, but the Covenant go inside Phantoms that leave from a Covenant carrier.

And each side is only allowed to buy weapons from their side.

Example: Covenant can only buy Covenant weapons; Spiker, Brute Shot, Plasma rifle, plasma grenade, spike grenade, etc. And humans can only buy their weapons; Silenced SMG and pistol, Assault Rifle, Battle Rifle, fragmentation granade, etc.

BTW, I think a Matchmaking system to find players would work out really well.

The elites also have Drop pods you know. In Halo 3 you can see them landing down on Floodgate.

What Marines Fear: Flood
What Flood Fear: Bad Bodies

Also in Halo 2 they drop down on you.

i got another great idea :D (oh ya if u didnt read my first great idea its on page 50 the 1st post)

so anyways i was reading posts and they wer alot about pelican dropships and stuff. so i was thinking that they hav to be destroyed like in CoD. ex. u shoot down the heli w/ a launcher.
and i dont want to copy it but it gave me a good idea. wen in a pelican or a pelican dropship u can be shot out of the sky and crash. but it wont be like wat happens to the banshee or hornet. wen shot out of the sky what happens is DUH! u crash land. but the dmg depends all on the impact. ex. the higher u are the bigger the impact, or if u crash into a base or into a mountain the bigger the impact. the lower u are the smaller the impact etc. etc. . so what im trying to say here is it all depends on the impact wether ur guy dies, survives, or is injured.

now let me giv an ex. to what im saying. when ever u play halo 3 campain, wen a pelican is shot out of a sky it does't explode, it just crashes really hard and the pilot dies yada yada yada. then w/ a phantom wen u shoot it out of a sky it usually just explodes were it is. so i think bungie wen and IF they make this should make phantoms crash land too insted of blow up in the sky. they can keep that but its just a suggestion to make it fair to the players. ill be posting more great ideas soon :D

comment plox :)

WORT WORT WORT. Best Sound Ever

i thinktha a point system would be ridiculous simply because then everyone would be shotty snipe or rockets one one team while everyone else on the other team has assault rifles. i think that when you spawn on the ship you have nothing but a magnum and if you want to use the drop pods you have tto have wpons that can fit in the hevs sniper andd below but if you take one you will run out of ammo quickly but it will only be safe to resupply in your territory and the weapon lockers from the beggining of halo 2 is there so even if you pick power weapons and rush the enemy you will lose all of your ammo quickly and its the same for elites apart from instead of odst when you get enough kills over the course of a single round you can become honourgaurd when you spawn and cant use the dop pods but have the arbiters active camo from halo 2 and a plasma rife and the honourgaurd lance also instead of the UNSC resupply stations there are palsma chargers whitch recharges your plasma weapons core but both weapons caches can be destroyed and redaployed

To be honest I don't like the idea of using points to buy weapons because I dont think the game will last long enough for you to get enough points for a decent weapon unless it was made so you needed to plant 3 bombs in order to win or a CTF game was intergrated in there. Also I think it would be near impossible to get two equally matched teams for a close and fair game. If this gametype where to happen (which I doubt very much that it will) I would prefer to see a 16 vs 16 as opposed to a 20 vs 20.

But what if we had to buy a safe spot to enter a safe spot to win the game what do you think now

"YOU MUST SHOW NO MERCY... NOR HAVE ANY BELIEF WHATSOEVER IN HOW OTHERS JUDGE YOU...FOR YOUR GREATNESS WILL SILENCE THEM ALL".

i actualy think this would be a good idea, call it something like armageddon or something similar.

Lol he was right, 50% of people don't like the piont system
p.s.how about a rank that climbs quickly and unlocks more weapons
the higher it gets
but completly resets each game

well thats a good question. i think the people who already unlocked them should get them taken away after each game so its fair to the other ppl cuz before u know it, ppl r only going to be using snipers,spartan lazers,rocket launcher, etc.
u see what i meen?

I like the massive team slayer idea and the whole spwan from the UNSC cruiser, but how about the pre-game lobby setup?

20vs20 is A LOT.

So the lobby should have much more space for the gamertags of the players inside the game.Also there should be like a Force changer to your armor permutations(if there are any)so if you are in the covenant team and your permutation is set to spartan, it should be automatically changed to an elite, or maybe there be a message saying:please change armor permutations to elite....or be kicked from the game lobby.

well i like this idea ...but 20 vs 20 is a -blam!- load of ppl not even halo ce(custom edition )handeled. dat be fun but 70% of the ppl be stuck in walls, 20% be "hoppin aroun" and 10% would be on kill sprees

An arrow a day keeps the Creepers away

P.S. Minecraft is teh best game EVAR

Nice idea, but wouldn't you have to be an elite to go in a covenant cruiser and vice versa? And if you spawned on the covenant side your points would be wasted if you didn't like plasma weapons. And the vehicles too. *End of Ramble*

The kam1kaze of war

naa thats too much but i do like the pelican dropping vehicles idea

  • 01.07.2010 2:01 PM PDT

If there are already weapons distributed on the map what's the point of buying one? It's not like they don't ever spawn again.

You're already dead; you just don't know it yet.

I think this would really change up, mis up, and revolutionize a game that is starting to get really repeditive. being able to use larger vehicles in multiplaye wouldd be great even if you cant drive them yourselves. i especialy like the idea of being able to earn points to buy temporary in game items.

however this would bring lag beyond belief if everyone used it, and there would be major battlefield polution. the crowded battle field would be eerily similar to a more colorful version of that unmentionable other fps. (C.O.D. Modernwarfare 2)

Hey i like it but I think you should add a part were you could use the crusiers in a battle. So there would be a bridge crew to look at the battle field like the orbital view of halo wars. They got the request for veichals and supply drops and could or couldnt send them. But I know how it sound that 1 person could ruin the battle. But if they did that he would screw himself into losing. This would make people play wmore like a team. And no not every one would be able to call them in. Lke you said with they piont youll have to buy your drops or maybe certain squads had only x amount of points to buy things with. Well its just a thought what do you think?

i do like the idea because i always wondered what a halo game would be like 20v20

  • 01.07.2010 10:04 PM PDT

the hev drop pod thing is a crwzy awsome idea but i dont like the weapons shop thing and the hev drop pod should only drop once at he beining of the game
