Guns don't kill people; Death kills people!

You should be able to buy skulls with your points as well that affect the enemy in a negative way, e.g. lowering shields halfway, reducing ammo, or slowing them down physically. That way you could choose between defense (weapons and vehicles) and offense (skulls).

Otherwise this looks awesome, I hope Bungie includes it!!

I like the idea of this game mode but the pelican dorp fro weapons and vehicles sounds like the game Section 8.
I loved that game because of that mechanic but the controls and short campaign caused me to stop playing it. The Idea of spending money you earn for things would be cool.

This is kinda like my Harvest idea.

I think this game would be really cool to see in Halo: Reach. I have nothing to criticize. I like your idea abou the HEV Pods, 'cause that sounds really cool, to like control the HEV pod on the way down to the battlefeild. And it would be pretty intimidating to see like 15 HEV pods coming down right at you.
I also have a comment. I know somebody said this, but it would be cool to have a hanger in the ship as the alternate route down. You could use the new ship, the Falcon, or you could use a Hornet or maybe even a Pelican. But yeah, overall, I think your idea is great and I would love to see it in Reach.

Woot. Extermination!

This is practically a game in itself, but it's a fantastic idea. I've had ideas like this but this is better, and you've done a great job in spelling it out. I vote definetly yes.

I think it would also be cool if each team had a flag and if the enemy team captured it, they'd get a sum of points, just on the side or something.

It would be EPIC. I've been waiting for a Halo game like this since Halo 1!

What if every single player was ranked[Like Halo 3] and the highest ones had access to Different characters like a Brute Chieftain[if they were on the Covenant side.]

So, the higher ranked you are, the more powerful you are.



Me tooo!!!!

10.Finally squads, i think squads may work in some cases as for when most of the squad has a mike so the squad members may talk to each other and by pressing a button like left on the d-pad to talk to other squads. This would make for some really good battles seeing as it involves in alot of strategising but may work against the squad since maby the squad members may have no mike. Also lolsandwhich's idea is good on the part of where you are automatically assigned to a squad since it may get a tiny bit hectic when coming to the part of squad choosing. Such in many circumstances you may hear the following "nah i only want my friends in this squad" or "i don't like him, don't invite him to the squad" those are just two of the many comments people would now and then say, which would slow down the gameplay.[/quote]


This is a good idea i think, but i think that if your friends and you party up in the lobby before searching for a game, whoever you were in the previous lobby with should be in your squad.

Ah, someone leaked. Now to find the leak and.... plug it.
With justice.

I use coup 5
Never Played halo 1 = Invalid opinion
Bloom isn't whats broken, its your idea of what good is and your opinion
Thats like saying uber nerf armor lock because like 20 percent of the community hates it. Oh wait..................

The only part i realy like is expanding the player limit drasticly, and droping down onto the map would be cool....But there is now good way to balance a game type if all the weapons are included.

  • 01.28.2010 4:55 PM PDT

I really like the idea and yes the shower is the best place to think. I think that the cruisers should be a different map and you should drop down just no space battles AND ground battles at the same time. the space battles and ground battles are too much like Star wars battle front 2 and Halo wasn't made to be a space combat game, just fps. i do like the rest though and I really like the weapon drop idea.

"Find The Bomb?!
Find The Bomb?!
I'm Looking For The Flag!
What The Heck Is Assualt!?"

I would have to cast my vote as... No.

For a few simple reasons, one for instance is the idea of buying weapons throughout the conflict, that's just ridiculous and unnecessary in my opinion and shouldn't be a utilized function for one game, not to mention it is the type of thing where you give people who are doing better more means to do better.

And besides this is hardly one idea, it is more a few.

First of all you just said you want a really good map that you drop down to in drop pods, this is entirely doable, though I don't know if bungie would put in a drop pod vehicle just for this purpose in multiplayer.

And your second thing you voiced was a gametype of assault where the bomb only appears after a certain amount of kills, this could also be done, and would be fun.

By why should those two things have to be connected with each other?

I've had the idea about drop pod maps before too, I thought it was really cool, but it would simply be another map to the game.

This is a really cool idea!

This doesnt seem like a halo gametype to me, more like a brand new game. It was alright until the weapon shop bomb points and vechicle drop off. If you like the idea of the carriers i have2 maps on my file share like that, i also imagined a game like that like battlefield 1943, but w.e

This game mode sounds awesome.

I just love thinking about all the epic battles that woukd probably happen on this game mode

ODST

A frustrating thing would be people sitting around in the cruiser waiting for the game to end to get experience. It could be changed, like you would get an AFK effect for staying on the ship for longer than 1 minute, that way people wouldn't just sit around.

PORTAL in Reach!

Friend request me, I'm a friendly guy: Gamertag

God would that be amazing! That would be the most epic thing in gaming, no joke, I don't even know what to say haha!

  • 01.30.2010 7:23 PM PDT

this game would be awsoum, never played section 8 so if you did steal i could care less plus this would be great practice for my clan.

  • 01.30.2010 8:05 PM PDT

i think with all of these extra ideas they would have to have the dedicated server and a second disk and increase the price

  • 01.30.2010 8:18 PM PDT

It would be epic i wanted somthing like this in ODST but it was just a mini game. Love the idea i need it to be in reach

  • 01.30.2010 10:02 PM PDT

Bip. Bap. -BLAM!-

I like the idea of a SUPER team battle. However, making a map such as the one you described would be a very big challenge. Dropping in would require making a map that's got a ceiling at 40km. You already foretold this: no buying weapons. That would mean only pro's get the weapons they need and if pro's get the weapons they need, they become pro-er, thus earning more points, buying more weapons, etc. Then: if you change the game mode from slayer to assault in-game, it'd be pretty hard to follow everything.
Of course rendering issues; 1 match would probably fry your Xbox.
The HEV drop would ofcourse eliminate spawnkilling problems.
I think it's a great idea, but it needs some work.

  • 01.31.2010 3:41 AM PDT

I completely agree with this idea.

I have always thought of something like this as well. Drop Pods NEED to be in Multiplayer.

Maybe not Pelicans, but the Falcons are CONFIRMED to be in Multiplayer. Go look on the Weekly Update and go down the the Q/A section.

I think that your Drop Pod should have a possibility of not working with something. Such as a broken chute, or the door jams. Or maybe the opposing team could throw up an EMP just like in ODST.

And then when you crash land you would have to hit the emergency bolts.

Bungie seriously needs to listen to what we post.

ALSO. For the first drop, the music that was played while you drop in ODST should be played. That would be crazy epic.
