I dig your idea, but what if you had a ai teamate with you in any way like a marine to back you up or if you are on the covenant side a jackel or an elite with no sheild but all of them have the same health unless you can have a greater version somehow and if you had a multi seat vehical and no teamates around your ai could drive or gun whatever you perfer it's just an add on to this great game mode but bungie proboly will make the multiplayer similar to halo 3 sigh

Mess with the best, die like the rest.

this Idea is great, but there are two things that should be added: You should be able to stay and fight in space with an enemy cruiser if you don't want to go to the surface, and that in space you could have longswords and stuff and there would be pelicans to bring troops to the surface as well as HEV's. pelicans could also deliver vehichles and supplies and be used as boarding craft.

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.
O MY GOD this is perfect it would be so cool if only it were dropship. Give this guy a prize...or just a cookie.

look up halo custom edition

Great idea, but, by any chance did you see it under the ODST forums about ODST multiplayer? because if you did it was my idea, you just changed it.

My boy

But what are the chances of bungie listening to the idea?

  • 01.20.2010 4:07 PM PDT

Boy this is a really dumb idea. This is just way out of the way of what Bungie really does. The theme doesnt even feel like halo like what you said, and also Bungie will never have dedicated servers, it's a waste of their time and money to get all this stuff. The game mode you described is just Big Team Battle with 40 people and you BUY WEAPONS? Honestly? That is not the halo feel, halo is unique in the sense that you find the weapons on the map (besides all its other features that make it unique) so buying weapons completly shuts out the normal thing. Another flaw is "...we should be able to call in vehicle drops..." all I have to say is, NO. And call in a vehicle and wait 30 seconds? you would no way in hell be alive long enough to get in the vehicle with 20 opponents, and secondly, a Mongoose? How will that help you? You'd get sniped because what you described is a big portion of the map is an open field with no cover, so snipers can spawn camp you haha. This idea will never happen, and would be such a dissapointment to any good halo player if this mode came out. How, would they do ranking? What there would be no ranking? you just earn no exp and just poor shots into large groups of people? No No No NO. Don't ever post this topic again because its bad.

The idea of this is an all-around FailBlog.

derp

Very creative, but I say no. Too gimmicky.

wat ur talkin about is just like sum of the maps on halo custom edition for the pc

My many wise and noble words:
1. Don't ever post anything about someones grammar, nobody cares.
2. WHEELMAN 4 LIFE
3. Splatters make you feel happy

has anyone evr played boxhead: bounty hunter.
the gameplay isnt very good but it takes on the idea of buying weapons from points. i would love this in halo reach.
except what if there had more then 20 people a side. it would be kool if there was 100 lol i know its a lot and obviously wont happen but, it would be kool

  • 01.21.2010 4:25 PM PDT

Not now Chief I'm in the zone.

HALO


NOT



COD


and it would lag really bad
maybe not as much COD in the idea and an offline only mode

  • 01.22.2010 9:51 AM PDT

Really good idea
The battles would be huge and epic

  • 01.22.2010 4:45 PM PDT

Agreed.

Instead of a bomb idea, I'd like to propose this to anyone still reading this long-ass thread: there are 2 large MAC cannons on the map, one on each side. when you reach the 200 kills, a MAC cannon battery (bomb) would spawn, and when placed in the MAC cannon it would create the amazing explosion that is de-covenant-cruiser-ification. After the cruiser blows up, clean up the rest of the enemies on the map to win.

Also, the humans should be forced spartans and the covenants forced elites.

i saw sumthin about reach party limit being like 22

  • 01.23.2010 4:10 PM PDT

I hope the best of luck to you when you play, and that we have a lot of fun screwing around (^_^) (unless you're a mad modder and you always cheat).

I actually like that idea. I would go for that. (this might have already been said) But Maybe for the fences you can unlock them when you get enough points. and your teammates see you open the doors but can get in till they reach the requirement.

In my heart, Microsoft didn't create Halo.... Bungie did, and in my eyes 343 Studios is Swagger Jacking Bungie >:(

Sounds definately fun, great idea I'm game for that, Bungie would pull it off, they can do anything >.<

Survey says: Yes

Sounds cool ;)

  • 01.24.2010 4:39 PM PDT

sounds cool i hope we get this but i doubt we will because of how far Bungie is along with REACH but it would be cool as DLC though
