Subject: Would you like this new game mode

I want to become a video Game Tester like everyone should be wanting to do but I can't find a LEGIT company. Any help would be nice!

This is now NOT my main account.

I don't at all like the part where you have to buy the weapons. That map would have to be Gigantic! though. I could see Bungie doing something 'like' this but not this.

I got to Set 6, Round 2, Wave 5 on Heroic GETTING ME RECON! ;)

just sayin...thats a whole new different game bro. but i like it.

  • 02.19.2010 3:59 AM PDT

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

hmmmm, seems interesting, but I think it would be better if it was round based, so start with a BIG team slayer round, then, once the first round has been won, go onto a bomb style round, then say a flag round, then, maybe some kind of ball or MULTI (read it: MULTI as in more than one per team) VIP game.

Still it would be interesting, but can't be more than 16 players, as I believe that is the most XBL can support.

Also, the way you say you can buy weapins with medal points makes it seem slightly RPGish. Not really Halo's style.

yep i think that sounds like a great idea. but i think there should be weapon calls to come down in drop pods. sounds great.

Shooting for the stars.

This really isn't a description of a Halo game, it's a whole other game design idea.

The whole experience of spawning on some cruiser and picking a load out, while interesting, doesn't fit within the framework already established for Halo.

This idea is akin to thinking of how awesome it would be for there to be an MMO based on Halo Wars where the units you're controlling are real players fighting with Halo style combat. It sounds awesome, but the plausibility of it is severely low.

In the interest of not sounding too negative, I'll say it's a cool idea.

shoot enemies into sun with giant slingshot :::::::Incomplete
lol bungie rocks

i like the idea but when you think about it...the whole buy weapon thing would be a waste of time.and i am not trying to punch holes in your idea but buying weapons with points would be 1 a waste of time trying to get to 200 kills 2 would probably make people mad when they hit the ground and die because of some idiot like camper and three be a waste of programming because most people are going to think it is a waste of time and bypass it. but all in all its a good idea :)

p.s. if you could steer the pod and land on people that would be pretty funny

  • 02.19.2010 9:41 AM PDT

Haha, I have no idea what you're talking about.

My idea? No weapon buying, and an assortment of maps. Also, the maps are devoted to snipers, CQB, etc.

It will be a massive ground war match like MW2 but halo style!

  • 02.19.2010 1:09 PM PDT

you should drop in in like an ODST drop pod and be able to change direction slightly to get closet to the enemy.

you know ive been reading alot of these posts and i really think bungie can pull it off. but, im not sure if there technecly advanced. i mean wouldnt it take a super cpu just to make it? but anyways after reading the post i found some flaws
(or i guess u can call them flaws) but b4 i go on w/ what i hav to say, i made a post and its on page 50, its the first post, im not sure if ppl took the time to read it cuz it was so long but what im about to post will make that post look like a sentence. so if u havent read it plz do.

Leader/controlling other players: you know i really dont like this because i dont want som1 telling me what to do during the game. i want to go in with my team(which i will tlk about in the other section) and have fun. plus i read somthing about only the leader can call in vhechles/somtin like that. well lets say tht that did happen. what if u spend points for a pelican(i will also discuss the matter of points latr too)and the leader doesnt bother to call it in. then wat happens 1.u dont get ur pelican and 2. ur screwed so take that into consideration.

UNSC/Covenant vechicle noobing: ive read som post saying that flying the pelican/phantom ect. is dumb and should be used w/ an AI. so i want to make both sides happy. have both AI and flyable. but heres the catch. if ppl are gunna be noobs and just use the pelican/phantoms ect. it gives them 1/2 points. e.x. if an AI kills a plyer they give the team 2p (p=points),
if U kill an enemy it will only give 1p. hope i made both sides happy w/ this

How many wepons to hold: u know i was thinking that we should be able to hold 3 wep. i mean 2 wep. is getting kinda boring. so i came up w/ 2 types of possible wep. combos, AR,pistol,RL,
BR,SR,pistol. notice that each wep. combo has a pistol, thats because it will keep ppl from having 3 good dmg wep. so each must hav a pistol.

ok if u hav read this far GREAT hang in there. sry if im boring u to death but trust me its worth while

Being afk: if u are in a match and are camping and doing nothing then u will be kicked from the game if u havent moved ur guy in 10min. it would be fair for ppl trying to play and theres no room so if ur not gunna bother fight then u will be kicked.

Team split up: i have to honestly say i kinda dont like it cuz it ties back to the "leader". and plus i dont get the spliting up part i mean its not like bungie will make each team have there own location/alfa,bravo,ect. mabye they will who knows. but id rather have just that one team only because it will be less work for bungie. but i like the teams because if lets say team bravo has spotted some intruders in team delta's base(meaning they have security camras) through security camras. yes press right,left,up,down, whichever button it is and say "u have a breach, 5 covenant are in ur base, check ur camras i think ther in coridor 4, use ur emergency "shut down" button to lock them in there and send some1 to take care of them" yes that would be frkn cul but thats my opinion

People stealing wep.: like in cod u r able to steal wepons but there was 1 post saying u go to a screen to get them i totally agree with that, YAY no1 can steal ur wep. unless u die ofcorse and they take it

Camping noobs: ive read som post complaining about noobs camping, im not really sure what i can say about that but i think u can just... um... idk use a uav. i dont want to steal that from cod but its not like if u have the uav ur oponent wont show up on it cuz they dont hav cold blooded like in cod. so i hope that would help

Not enough room/time to put this map in reach: u know idt(i dont think) bungie will have time to make this idea and put it in reach in time. they would have to postpone the release date. but if they cant do it then they should just put it on market place to download. id rather have that map pack for free and im only 12(turning 13 on the 25 of FEB.) so i think it should be able for evry1 to download. only cuz i was playing CoD this morning(feb 20, at like 9:32) and there was a 10 year old playing who 1st of all sounded like a girl but is a boy and sounded like a 7 year old. but thats not important. So think about this.

Getting to your teamates/sos beacon:wen i was reading some posts i read somtin about an SOS message for ur team to com rescue u, e.x. ur by urself and som1 is shooting u, u kill him but u r wounded and u cannot move. u can send an SOS flare for ur team to com rescue u, but lets say one of ur members doesnt have enough points for a pelican or somtin like that, there will be a thing to use for a free whatever ride, but u can only get it 5 times, for ppl who arent doing to good, they can use that and a pelican will come(if u orderd that one) but the AI will control it(sry but thats how i'd want it to be)Then a screen will apeer, its ur map, enemies will be in red, freindlies in green, but, ur WOUNDED friendlies will be in blue. so u could place ur marker next to that teamate(not to close or on him cuz thats were the pelican will land) put it a decent amount of space between u. once landed u leave the pelican and go to ur teamate, u can pick him/her up and carry them to the pelican. notice that ur speed will decreace by a little. once setting ur teamate in the pelican, wen u sit down the screen will re-apear, then choose ur destination(hopefully ur base were u can heal ur teamate) if u dont want to go anywhere just press B to exit that screen and stand up. i think if bungie puts that in it would be EPIC, but remember if u land on ur teamate he will die and that would be an EPIC FAILURE lol. hope u like that idea

Sharing points:i read 1 post saying if ur teamate wasnt doing good u can spare him some points, well, as long as ur not being shot at u can transfer as many points as u want to ur teamate. once done great job u helped a freind. if u give enough points away (and not all at once i meen over time) u will get a medal called "TEAM PLAYER" or somtin like that and plus u get 100P which u can use whenever u want( i suggest save them for a match wen ur losing dramaticly)i will also tlk about points next

using points: i read somthing about a pelican 150 points and warthog 90 points but the thaught never really uccured to me until now. isnt the game supposed to go up to 200 points? so ya didnt think of that huh did u? so i came up w/ my own way for those points to be used
UNSC:pelican=10p
warthog=8p
ect.
Covenent:phantom 10p
ghost=5p
ect.
so what im trying to say is the points to get the vehichles shoul be no more than 15. if u think about that 15 points= 15 kills w/o dieng so y would u try to kill 150 ppl w/o dieng for a pelican it makes no sense u know what i meen?

Well thats all i have to tlk about and if u made it allthaway through good job u probably just wasted 2hours of ur life jk. and remember to read my post on pg. 50 its the first 1 k hope u like these ideas bye :D

I thinkits a good i idea but getting lots oof kills in a row it might encourage camping , so you could either mack a costum class to start off with when you get your kills and die if you dont have enough pionts they should carry on and i think (and i know people will dis agree) but for this game mode and others there should be kill streaks i dont mean reall good ones but i mean instead of having to die to buy the weapons use a laptop or watch thing chooses your weapon and drop a flare to signal where the ship should drop it

Recon In Halo3
Recon in Reach

Add a bit of modern warfare into it. Let us have our own spartan. Break it to into teams. One spartan and Elites. But you get to custimize your armor and play in it. As compared to always being a spartan

It's a great idea.

I would change, as you anticipated, the part where we go and buy weapons with our points. Inside the Cruiser, there are numerous weapon stashes locked in chain-linked fences that become available every time you get a certain number of kills.

Each weapon stash, depending on how easy it is to unlock, would hold specific weapons (the stash that requires 100 points would hold ARs, Maulers, SMGs, and Frag Grenades. The last one that requires 100,000 points would hold a Spartan Laser, a few Swords, and a Missile Pod) These are just examples.

Ex. You get 10 kills (as you said) and imagine those 10 kills scored you 100 points. In order to open the first chain-linked fence to get to the first weapon stash, you need 150 points. Once you have 150 points, you can walk up to any of the stashes that require 150 points or less to unlock, and unlock it.

You bring up some good ideas.


it would take 150 points? dude, that 15 kills, in a game mode with 20v20? only an extremely good player could pull it off, and by then they would be through most of the game. love the idea, but what your saying i too extreme. i would like it if it was a super long game though. like 500 points!!! an all-out war!! but then again, he makes it sound a lot like MW2. i like it though.

extra idea. overall points gives you more gear for your person, say extra speed, in game perks, grenandes, shields, active camo's.

ok everybody, theyre already making halo reach, theyre prob almost done with it, and this additional aspect would take a long time to make. i dont no if they could pull it off, maybe if it was a whole diff game that they made, cuz i think that one guy is right ur taking the best things from every game. and this would take prob as much time as it takes to do graphics for a new game. cuz theyd have to make the new level(s) for it, and theyd have to be BIG!!! theyd have to make both sides of the ships, theyd have to make the aircraft and stuff for the drop. and thed have to make spots in the maps that were good for everyone. and wat if u were on the same team but u were covenant and the other ppl on ur team were spartans howd that work??? unless they made each side on one team only. but then one of them would stick out more then the other one. ok also if they had a timer wat if they ran out of time? then they would just kill thereselves and go get them anyway. and if there were only dedicated servers there wouldnt be anyone cuz whos gunna do that, besides with those graphics and that big of maps theyd still be lagging. that would be like servers for battlefield, it wouldnt work. unless the halo reach ppl were the servers, but again then that would make it more hard for bungie to do. maybe if they had like three servers at a time and each round they switch off. but then ppl might just quit wen they were the server, plus that would still be hard for bungie to do. and it dousnt really sound like halo anymore it kinda sounds like it but mosstly it sounds like a diff game, maybe they cud hold the next halo game after reach and make one called "halo frontline battle" or something. like they made halo wars. but idk if they have that kind of tech either, or if they would stop the halo games for that. i like the sound of bots, like counterstrike. that they could do but the whole ship thing and the map and all the other complications u guys r pointing out just for halo reach is a little far fetched. sorry, but i dont think this is gonna happen. even if this doesnt happen how many r u r gunna buy reach and the one after that and the one after that etc??? i mean as long as ppl are still buying there game after each one theyre prob not gonna change it sorry.

  • 02.22.2010 12:34 AM PDT

ok heres my idea for xbox live that microsoft should do, they should make it where u can watch wat ur frind is doing cuz then u cud seee that they were playing for instance halo odst, and u were kinda on the edge about getting that game or not and so u watched them play it and then u cud see wat it was like and see if u wanted it or not. who else thinks so?

  • 02.22.2010 12:50 AM PDT

maybe a team of brutes or somethin in the centre of the map to fight to reach the objective.

  • 02.22.2010 5:45 AM PDT

how many ppl do we have in here? y dont we got to forge and and work stuff like dat just requires a little thinkin

TheXxXLegacyXxX

great idea, that is somthing that bungie could do to win me back over moder warfare i mean i like halo as much as the next guy but its gotten dull sided, this game mode would definetily put some spice back into the halo series

  • 02.22.2010 6:40 AM PDT

"Come ta Daddy!"

A few minor changes and it will be a perfect game!
I have some ideas... @.@

Map Idea 1:
Firstly, maybe we could use some of ODST's OPEN AREAS(Kizingo Boulevard anyone?) as the ground, then there would be a skyscraper and underground.
The skyscraper would have an elevator(literally) that slowly goes up(& down), level by level(maybe 10?) and when it arrives at the top, it turns out to be ODST's Windward map.
The underground would be something like the data hive area. :D
<Got all these ideas from ODST obviously>

Map Idea 2:
The cartographer island from halo CE!!! boy would i like to see a remake of THAT.

Gameplay Idea 1/ Map Idea 3:
Or maybe we could rip out the whole orbital drop crap(wastes time) and replace it with a simple battle in space.
At this point, you are thinking of halo CE's Boarding Action, am i right? :D
NO i am not referring to that kind of space battle!
I'm thinking half the "map" is human-ish, with cramped quarters for the shotguns, then the other half is alien-ish, with wide space-wasting areas for sniping and whatnot(similar to heretic if you remove some obstructions)
Maybe it's like... a refugee ship pieced together from all the wreckage in space? Or even, {Halo: Cole Protocol}'s Rubble habitat! <.<

Gameplay Idea 2:
Maybe theres a Human team and a Covenant team(both controlled by players)! Though they would all have to be ELITES (<.<)
With Halo 2 showing how the Covies use seraphs to board the space station, maybe we could use the same idea to insert the Covies into the battle field while humans use the HEVs?
We can use that idea, or everyone uses pelicans and phantoms. :p
________________________________________________________
I had a sudden brilliant idea.
Using your kill-points system, we could add in another 2 functions.
1:
With enough points, you can spend it to upgrade your HEVs/ Seraph! For the HEVs, you could upgrade it so you can actually pilot it halfway down, and for the Seraphs you can "upgrade" your "pilot-powers" and get to drive your own Seraph!(though you have to listen to everyone in the ship argue about where to drop-off. lol)
2:
You can bribe the ship's A.I./captain and order a MAC Cannon Strike/Cleansing Beam on the map! BUAHAHAHA (reserved for players who save a mountain load of points)

LOL, my cousin just shared with me a funny joke.
What if a flood infested ship crashed on the map, and we had to team up and fight it off or something ^_^
0_o hold on a sec... THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE AWESOME!!!
^_^ my cuz is great like that.
hm...
what if... JUST as the bomb is going to BLOW US ALL TO HELL(at 1 second or something) all electrical items on the map shuts down(excluding your shields and armor, though you can't use armor abilities/equipment) due to a slipspace rupture from the flood ship? HEHE


READ THIS BEFORE CONTINUING
I have only read the first page... so, if i have already repeated EXACTLY like whatever anyone has just said, please, just skip the paragraph and don't get all fussed up about it. Your kindness is overwhelming.

Adrian-hope you had fun reading @.@

Hi

Great idea and with a map like that you should be able to fly pelicans, phantoms, falcons etc. for the assualt type. Also maybe a map maker like farcry 2's. :) (:
