I have to say it is a good idea but there are problems with it too. like its pretty much a game of slayer the turns into assault but if edited it could be a good game. it also seems more like a playlist that would be in matchmaking if not for the buy weapons part

I like the idea and apologize if this has already been suggested. But why not throw in a squad, fire team, and battalion communications network? I read the squad thing had already been suggested but the errors came up, those errors could be solved through expanding communications. Fireteams would hook up between friends. Those fireteams would have a selected leader to communicate with squad who could in turn communicate with battalion. In doing so there would be no arguements amoung who could be on the fireteams. The mike is communicated through the T.V if you don't have one, (I know through experience with my little brother sitting there) so strategy amoung teams could be carried out like that.

Eh... It sounds like a really cool concept, but I think that it does have a few issues.

First of all, (I appologise if this has already been pointed out) I do not believe that they should use points for items. I personally think that it sounds way to much like Call of Duty. I think that there should be some weapons and supplies in each drop pod, and people have to make it to the drop pod of their choosing. Further supplies and things could be reached on the ground level.

Something would have to prevent people from just camping in the ship, and it would be so cool to be able to control the drop pod on the way down. It could be like an enhanced vesion of ODST.

I also like the idea of somehow incorperating a pelican drop somewhere in there.

This is a great concepet though! Keep it up!

  • 02.22.2010 6:04 PM PDT

theres one thing i would do with it though is start out with the assualt rifle and you get guns with what medals you get say if you had a medal for most headshots you would get the sniper or dmr

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.
mabye you could even order in some marines, army, odst, grunts, hunters etc but it would have to cost like 300 for one unit mabye less depending on skill level

He admitted to that and the idea is a work in progress things about it change as time go by. If you'd read his whole OP you'd know that.

Don't get offended man. I was talking about how Fire team 1 could comunicate with fire team 2 within squad Bravo who then could relay that to squad Sierra, not the split itself. Just comunication across the split so that it wouldn't get confusing, I'm with you on not having a leader credit to you. Just planning together on what goes on wasn't trying to steal your thunder.

If we get to a point where we can purchase a pelican and drop down our squad where we want...

I will Jizz my pants. Like, If you see a pelican, thats a squad coming down. And they're your enemy.

I am he who walks above the abyss
upon a mountain of sky
I am he who descends to the blackest nights
to the ever-slumbering restless
I am he who releases his star
which will shine and burn
I am the abyss / I am the storm / I am the sky

I said yes because it sounds cool, but I highly doubt that it will make an appearance in multiplayer.

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.

the only things u should add is make the score 1000 to get the bomb and make u have to get the bomb on the other peoples ship and also it should be u have to blow up small post on the ground with a bomb and u don"t see the next post untill one is destroyed and they move from your side to there side once u make it to their side u shoot into their ship (UNSC or Covenant) by getting on a pelican that u don't drive to get into their ship but they can shoot you down only with AA guns and all pilots are the same and then once you get on the ship you plant the bomb in the core they can defuse though and when their ship blows up u guys win



EDIT: i also like the squad idea and the commander one too and the AA guns are mounted on the ships and ground and the planes are hard to hit

oh ya ppl im not saying u hav to respond to my posts im just saying if u hav time to look at it. im not offended its just i like wen ppl respond to my ideas.

oh and i thought of somting that would be really cul. its a new game mode that u guys might really like. its called "Rescue The Chief" its kinda like CTF but with only 1 flag (Master Chief) he will be stranded somwhere on the map (which btw has to be huge) and when u find him my suggestion to getting him out quikly is to call in a pelican for transport then fly back to ur base. but here is the catch. u must hold him at your base for 2 min. while he regains consiousness. once done u will get a point and he will be in a different place were he respawns so ur always looking in different areas for him. but theres another thing u can steal master chief from ur enemy team. alls u hav to do is kill ur opponents then w8 15sec to capture him and go to ur base. BUT if u r covenant u torture him and kill him and if ur UNSC u revive him. Pretty cul hu? and i just got an idea and i think its awsome. and sry if this has alredy been posted i dont think ive read about it.

i dont want to copy cod but i was thinking if u get a certain amount of points then u can call in AI allies
e.x.
UNSC:
3p=5 marines
5p=pelican
11p=HEV airstrike
16p=3 spartans
20p=armor def. upgrade for 1min for all teamates
25p=flood nuke

now the flood nuke isnt really a nuke that will end the game like in cod but what it does is when it hits ur enemies base it will destroy all communications and will take over there vehicles thus trying to destroy u. now if ur enemy is destroyed with the flood whatevers left will come after U. so i suggest to go to ur base in the sky(btw when i think u respwn u respwn on the battle field so if u want to go back into the odst drop pod or fly a pelican u need to get bak to ur sky base w/ a pelican. but i would use the emergency pelican=5 2 get out of there. u would know about that alredy if u read my posts)so once back in the base the flood will com after u but they wont be AI they will be the other team so then they hav an advanteg to kill u but u can use a real nuke to kill them depending on where they are. there sky base will be destroyed meaning it will crash land onto the map IF any survivors (which i doubt) will still try to kill u. i like this idea cuz its like a little twist to the game. and o yah u dont hav to choose only 3 rewards like in cod u can get all thats why i seperated to reward points as much as possible.

Covenent:
3p=2 grunts and 3 jakels
5p=7 jakels
11p=covenent airstrike
16p=4 hunters
20p=armor def. upgrade for team 1min
25p=flood nuke
