If party chat were to be disabled during this gametype, then I'd be okay with it. Otherwise, party chat divides teams up communication-wise.


Its going to be pretty difficult listening to twenty different voices at once. That would be even harder to communicate.

Perhaps if we are divided into separate divisions like some people said we could bring up the scoreboard and switch chats to let people know or something. idk. If this were to happen i'm sure bungie could figure something out.

I like everything except the points system. Lame. It reminds me of how unfair COD can be. Someone is good gets better stuff making them better, which fuels them to get even more better stuff, then they finally get a nuke and blow you up. Halo has always been about even opportunity, and I think this idea is great minus that aspect. I think having different start up items would be great though. Say you have so many points(lets say 1000) and you can take your choice of grenades and 1 or 2 weapons to start. Things like a sniper rifle and rocket launcher would be like 950 points. This set up would have to be done before the game starts to avoid wasting time. I also think that since battles would be so large, each player could get up to 2 xp for their effort and 1 extra xp if their team wins. So a player could get 0 or 3 xp max.

Here is how i would do it(of the top of my head)
-950::rocket launcher/sniper rifle/beam rifle/spartan laser/energy sword
-800::brute shot/gravity hammer(if they even have it)/shotgun
-600::battle rifle/carbine/SMG/mauler
-400::assault rifle/plasma rifle/spiker
-200::plasma pistol/ zoom pistol
-100::plasma grenade
-50::frag grenade/standard magnum(crappy pistol)

**In addition I would say people could pool points to a vehicle fund that would hasten the respawn rate of vehicles on your team's side. No player would be able to donate more than 200 points to the vehicle fund.

Kinda sounds like MAG (Look it up if you haven't heard of it) with the aerial drops, upgrading to get weapons and such, large maps etc. I like it though!

So can someone explain to me the difference between a dedicated server and a what bungie uses now? Because people are saying that this will only work because of the lag of 20 v 20.

all of this just a game mode? i think weve just brainstormed a game gentle men

Ok you were doing ok until the winning team got a bomb and using your points to get weapons(that was the worst part) and the HEV should be saved for ODST-2 if there is one because spartans dont use them other wise a fairly good idea

"So no one accidentally got shot in the face when some one's shotgun accidentally went off?" - Sarge, Red vs. Blue

I LIKE IT BUT, WHEN I CALL SOMETHING IN WITH my POINTS, i WANT TO BE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN USE IT. i HATE mw2 WHEN SOMEONE TAKES MY CAREPACKAGE

Spartans never die.

It's a okay idea, but it has alot of problems with it. Then again that's what trial and error and twinking is for.

  • 02.08.2010 4:05 PM PDT

lol?

Just as long as it doesn't become chaos which I think it would sadly due to the players who just want to run in and try to get some kills but in theory it's a good idea

its a freaking awesome idea that omg i would love to play, hellz yes i would but its kinda a little like CoD, you know, killstreaks, and the stuff of getting more score by getting medales, in Cod there are no medals but there are some kind of letters that pop up when u do somethin like longshot, payback, comback(killing joy, its the same dont u think?)and lots of other stuff that gives u extra score
but i still think its great idea(i voted for yes)nice idea

I like it...social or just custom game or a matchmaking custom game! :O

A playlist that find other peoples custom games :O

Member doesn't lift.

Would definitely like to see this. It would be epic and it would introduce new levels of team workness. The maps would have to be huge though, to support a unsc and covvie cruiser. With vehicles etc...

This sounds like an amazing idea, although the buying weapons thing could be like Urine competent said. But all in all I like it.

  • 02.10.2010 3:58 PM PDT

I have nothing to say to you...

Anyone ever read the Hunger games? how 'bout we do something like u said but its a free-for-all elimination style fight? There are forty people and if u die your done for the rest of the game the point of the game is to be the last one standing, and after a few minutes the images of whoevers dead is projected into the sky,oh,and every time someone dies, a cannon is fired when someone dies, and if u win, you get something special, like an armor permutation, or a new weapon for the next game, or invincibility for five minutes in the next game?


How 'bout that?

i think if halo reach came with three disks it would rn fine.

ex: one disk for the normal stuff, another to run this awesome multi-player experiance and the last to install on your hard drive to help play the multi-player experiance

  • 02.10.2010 10:26 PM PDT

heyyy

yeah i do!
but forge would be impossible on a map this big. no matter! who would want to change it? you have weapon lockers and vehicle drops. also i reckon everyone their own room with unlocable weapons/equipment/amour abilities, a drop pod and a vehicle selection chart(choose one vehicle then have the pelican carrying it on standby untill you need it. eg warthog on standby, three peaple just grabbed the flag, one flag carrier two accomplices, they run out of the base, the pelican swoops in, drops off brand new hog, they get in and they start the marathon 7k trip back to their base.

also, you sould be able to take controle of the pelicans and not to just rely on computers to bring you your hog now. people could then use that massive chaingun on the back!

one probablem with all the above, only the top 5 players on each team should be able to get vehicle drops and pilot pelicans. but the bit about your own room, you should be able to customize it. the map should be the size of a medium sized island (7k x 7k) and the bases shoould be like the ones on halo wars (huge and greatlooking.) you could have your own permanant teams so you are familiar with everyone and the top 5 dont hog all their vehicles and dont let anyone use their pelicans. they would know and like everyone on the team so they would share out pelican rides and vehicles. one last thing, mics should be compulsary.
