Logic and Reason over Religion.

I would like everything about this except the weapon store. Other than that it would be a great idea.

Hmm... I was thinking that maybe there could be Supply Caches spread around the map, and that you would have to capture them before you can open them. For example lets say you find a supply cache hidden somewhere. You would have to stay in that spot for at least 25 seconds, then when you capture it, its contents only work for your team. But lets say when you you were trying to capture it you got killed, the supply cache would become Neutral again. But if you do capture it the supply cache will not have every weapon there, some weapons are in sections that need to be unlocked with points.

Another idea is for example if you get a Hammer Spree and if you have 500 points you can refill your ammo, but only for your Gravity Hammer, and the refill would be like 50% or 60% of the ammo.

Oviously there are some problems with these ideas so please comment to help improove them.

it should kinda be like war from CoD. Your home base is the cruiser then you drop. Everyone goes and captures outposts (ill go in more detail if needed but id rather not)in a specific order then. in order to win you have to control all "outposts"
a) destroy the opposing teams carrier
or
B) captures the opposing teams carrier
just an idea

XBL was: Korosh Is Here
Changed to: Persian Pr0digy
Back to: Korosh Is Here

I think this is a great idea, except you would be able to buy items by number of kills, not points, and have points be for unlocking armor. Granted, the armor would have to be very expensive and even more so if it was super cool.

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.


Great idea, but... If every weapon in the game is on the map, why try so hard to earn points to get a weapon when you can just go down and get it first and not go through the trouble. Maybe you could buy it after that hard work, but when you die you respawn back with it. So it wasn't all for nothing.

I think Bungie should take a page from CoD: WaW where you can make squads inside of teams. In H3 MP your team can get split up and I do not like that. In this 20 v 20, that shouldn't happen.

What happens when you buy a gun from the cache, can you just buy discounted ammo, a whole new gun at same price?

I think the killing of players in their HEV should be a timer if they are not buying items. Just standing trying to put long range shots, the timer ticks. That would eliminate AFK (sort of).

P.s. Bring on a new and improved BLOOD GULCH.

  • 01.13.2010 6:51 AM PDT

I have an idea.

If you have all the players spawn on the map all the weapons spawn on the map, but have the vehicles dropped of at regular intervals by either pelicans if they are UNSC or Phantoms if they are Covenant. Have maps that consist of open areas, rough terrain areas with rocks etc, and indoor areas. Have 4 tile sets: Forerunner, Jungle, Snow, Dessert (need some work on those.)

Holla bip bip!!

The only part that's a bit ridiculous is 200 kills then arm a bomb. We don't want to play for 1 hr & 30 min. just to gain one experience point. 100 sounds more realistic but is still a lot.

I'm all for it if done correctly. Seriously bungie needs some new gosh darnit. Weapon purchasing would be a good addition.

Your destruction is the will of the Gods!

It kind of sounds a little like a combination of assault, titan(from battlefield 2142), and slayer. I think it would be interesting and fun, but not feasible at this stage in development.

Mmm yummy an ice cream level, just kidding with you man sounds cool.

Some Suggestions (PLEASE READ)

As said in the spending of points earned in the battlefield, I think you should be able to team spend points like in the Halo 3 mission where the big UNSC cruiser comes down and delivers 3 Scorpians how awsome would that be for you and your friends to look up and see a cruiser coming down and delivering vehicles for you.

Another suggestion i have is having one team and it is split up into squads. You can use your d pad to talk to your team or individual squads Ex. Up on the Dpad talks to your entire team to broadcast a message saying enemy cruiser incoming. left right and down on the Dpad will talk to the squads (Alpha, Beta, Charlie) incase you just want to inform your squad you saw an enemy up ahead in the hallway.

Some transport vehicle ideas i think that should be added are the pelican for shure to transport troops. Drop Pods To also transport troops to the ground. Advantages of using a drop pod you can drop anywhere besides enemy base quickly but its risky you could land on a cliff and roll off or you may land in front of an enemy squad and they will just kill you. Advantages of using a pelican. well for one thing you are more accurate for landing you can also transport with 24 other soldiers. The pelican can also drop a warthog of with you so your not sitting ducks.

  • 01.14.2010 9:12 PM PDT

That would be a great idea i just dont think the spending your points for things would be very good.... and wouldnt it make your score lower because yoyr spending points????

  • 01.14.2010 10:18 PM PDT

Another idea is maybe there could be like the vechile you never get to drive in any of the halo games... maybe you could drive a pelican or a vampire(i think thats a vechile)that could make the vechile system a lot more interesting :)
