Maybe its like a free for fall escape where there are limited amount of HEV's and you have to race to get to them but they're hidden, and when you kill someone it helps you find them

  • 03.08.2010 2:07 PM PDT

i like it but what happens if you get 200 points and get a bomb but then red team kills you and steals it.

and what happens when you blow up the bomb? do you get extra points?

Instead of rant and rave at my skill at halo or make some cocky or stupid remark i feel this space should be used to applaud bungie and every one of there employees no matter how small there role was at the amazing games they have created!My xbox no longer has live, so ive downloaded my profile onto my friends xbox and play there. I have 2 halo 3 accounts this one and Europa CAL so dont think im not any good.

Im all up for it! This is getting alot of attention

You could extend a game even longer by making three detonation points on each ship during the assault portion.
You have to detonate all three before you win. Also, I would like an epic explosion of the ship when all three points have been detonated. You have 20 seconds to get off the ship before you incinerate with the hull.

i dont like the point system i know u would earn the weapon shop buts thats like winning a game then knocking over the other teams gatorade i like evrything but the points i doubt any server can hold 40 people though

  • 03.08.2010 2:52 PM PDT

Winning is winning. Even if its 1 kill or even 20 kills behind.

I just saw 20 vs. 20 and was like ooo yaaa... gotta love big team battles especially the BIG big team battles

  • 03.08.2010 7:13 PM PDT

Instead of starting in a ship (Pelican, Phantom) we should be dropped in like an ODST since both ELITES and HUMANS (Spartans/ODST's) have their own drop pods, why wouldn't it be possible. We could even control it with the handles left and right from a camera on the bottom (one of the cameras, just like ODST and the other could have a video of our team mates on the field from a designated point of bungie's choice per map

probably like 20 vs 20, and it would only be possible with dedicated servers, due to lag.


I'm sure bungie could pull off more than 20 vs. 20 without dedicated servers, they could probably do up to 64 players without downgrading the graphics. They just need more servers. If Sony can do it Microsoft can do it =)

theres a game with 250 players in it its only got 45 servers and it hardly ever laggs and thats just one game type dude if they could pull of 250 with 45 servers bungie could pull of 100000000000 with lol 100 srvers

  • 03.09.2010 4:00 AM PDT

I like the idea, you have my vote.

This is what Halo needs to put the IP in the right direction of online play. Who would like to see a Planetside but Halo IP with all these ideas being put in place.

I really do hope Bungie listens to this.

(I don't)

I think there is a cruiser you start in, then there are a limited amounts of Drop Pods, that can drop farther in to the battle. The others would have to go in a pelican. I don't think there should be a time limit, and you always respawn there. What I think should happen, is there are also the orbit tower elevator thingys, that the opponents could also ride. That gives you three different ways to get into the battle, and a way for the covenant to get in, and also a way to place the bomb in the ship. You can even "jack" the pods and pelicans, and their weapons, which I think, after you buy them, they go to a rack so you, and others can use them. It's not a one time weapon, but it keeps respawning there. You can only take ONE bought weapon into the battle, and it replaces the AR.

Also, I think there should also be a Invasion to go with it, like the invasion saw in the beta. You have to push through and destroy stuff. It would be smaller.

LOL

Although it may have unintended inspiration from Section 8 your idea is AWESOME!!! I totally agree with your ideas! The idea for actually being able to use kill points is great, and I would like for it to seem realistic with spawning. If this game type would be available in Reach I think it would be even better for the wide open areas(to use a jet-pack in that kind of situation would be really cool!)
PS. I SO VOTED FOR THIS GAME TYPE!!!!!!!!!!!
:-)

I like this, but you should get all three at once. Escaping seems fun, but if you don't, then what? You die? The games already over. You could do it where you get extra exp, or it helps with your trueskill (If theyre doing that again in reach)

I agree. If the game's over then it doesn't really make a difference if you're dead or not.

I scond this opinion if you don't suck my mother -blam!- dick you -blam!- ass wholes

  • 03.09.2010 2:28 PM PDT

I think its a good idea, a few flaws but a good idea

  • 03.09.2010 2:59 PM PDT

MZH

I was leaning more towards a 'shock and awe' effect. But maybe there could be another objective after that?

Use them as reverse thrusters? That way you can jump out of the ship and hit the thrusters before you hit, minimizing or nullifying any damage you would get if you just jumped without a jump pack.

ok i got a few ideas but let me make a comment first to Spartan B182

i like ur idea about the AI teamates running around w/ the alarm but i was thinking that there should be inviceble AI enemys in there which will force u into battle. i thought that going in pelicans and Drop pods would be cul but i also thought about what master chief does. u jump off... so i said y not as long as u dont die. i meen ull have to w8 a few seconds to regen ur health but u will still be alive. o and the invinceble AI enemys in ur cruiser will go away once every1's is off the ship when u start off. BUT they will only come if u take to long to get ur stuff.

Now my other idea. since it will be UNSC vs covanent and not RvB i was thinking that u could make 2 charecters 1 for UNSC and 1 for covenant so when u spawn u will be ur guy who u made for that team. but if ur playing a different match and its not UNSCvCovenent then u choose who u want to spawn w/ and u can change characters each time u die. cuz u will hav that option wen u die. k thats all im gunna say so plz comment. and read my other posts to i believe 1 of them is on pg.50 and the other i forgot but its in the 60's :D

  • 03.09.2010 4:37 PM PDT

I sort of like this idea but this is starting to remind me of Titan in battlefield 2142

  • 03.09.2010 6:30 PM PDT

i don't know if this has been said before but concerning the the space battles. i think it should work like this if its Spartans vs Elites...

This idea sortof goes along the ideas of Battlefield

Everybody starts in the main ship in Frigate or covenent equivelant. as stated before you will die if you stay in the main ship for to long.

You then have a choice to go into either one of the four pelicans/phantom (holds 6) that is controlled by an Ai. The ai would be basic. Tries to avoid conflict while proceding to base to drop you off and then go back to the frigate. or you can go into a Longsword/Sereph (holds 2).

in the Longsword/Sereph you can attack the pelicans/phantoms. usually to no prevail but if given enough damage a few people might die also you can attack pelicans that are carrying other weaponary. The longswords can not go through the atmosphere though because you travel to quickly and will crash into the planet.

in the Longsword you can get out of it in a drop pod and land roughly where you want to. but you will be very vulnirable because everyone will be able to see you coming and know exactly where you land. also in a longsword you can not get to close to the opposing teams frigate otherwise a barrage of missles will kill you (prevents spawn killing).

what do you think?

Sweet idea good luck to you and hope bungie at least considers your idea! Oh and that makes me think of something that I think would be cool for machinima makers. If they include forge still i think it would be cool to have bodies as a buyable object its a heel of a lot easyir than killing someone than 50 seconds later when your ready to start its gone. That Would be cool wright?:)
