Still waiting for Reach

A flaw to this game mode might be that halfway through the game the weapon shop mightn't be needed as there would be pretty much every weapon you could pick up on the map anyway.

Let me say, awesome, AWESOME idea, but 2 things. Peole leaving would get extremely annoying when its around 2 vs 20 or whatever and Massive open areas for snipers and vehicles would make it feel more like a Battlefront game like Frontlines

Other than that its good

sounds like a super bad ass version of big team i like it but how would the map work with all the HEVs comeing into it

That sounds like an epic invasion update

How'd you find me?

This seems like a great idea. I think the whole being dropped onto the map by a pelican is cool. It would also be cool if you scored enough points you could call in an air strike by pelicans or if you're an elite by phantoms. However, this would bring up the problem of it starting to feel like Call Of Duty or Battlefield..
It's still a great idea though!

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Yeah, sounds good. But I don't think they had HEVs at the time of Reach, and I think it would be cooler with a Pelican for Spartans and a Phantom or Spirit for the Covenant.

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
That'd be cool, but then people might start saying it's ripping off Section 8.

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!!!!!!!!!!!
:-)

That's what I thought.

Add active roster into this (the endless game thing) and you've got an obsession.

About HEVs-they totally had them during Reach. It only takes place a couple of days before Halo 1.

I must admit this is something I have wanted since Halo CE it is good to see I am not the only one, and as far as the map I think an extended version of blood gulch, would be the best map for this game type

Hold it right there.

Sweet idea, but you make the map, or at least show off a drawing or schematic. Bungie can't make a map out of scratch.

You do know every multiplayer map is made by Bungie, from scratch? That's kinda how it works.

The Spartan 1 Project

I thought of a solution to the not needing to spawn in the ship every time.
You can choose whether you spawn in the ship or not.

If you choose not to, then you will spawn in an almost random place on the ground. And be able to get into the fighting very soon.

If you choose to spawn in the ship, then you can use the HEV (and maybe weapon shop if that hasn't been scrapped) and have some control over your landing, but it would take longer to get back into the game.

  • 03.12.2010 5:17 PM PDT

Yes.

Problems that need to be addressed:
-No weapon pickups. What you earn is what you get.
-Medkit stations on the battlefield. With a health base in Reach, we'll need a place to use points to buy health. I know this may cause camping issues, but it'd still need to take place or the epic battle may come in bursts of people spawning instead of a continual all-out war.
-Ammo stations. See above.

I <3 this idea.

  • 03.13.2010 8:32 AM PDT

i like that idea alot im not consitered a noob but i would die too much BUT I LOVE THE IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!! but what does HEV stand for???? is it like a drop pod???

  • 03.13.2010 10:05 AM PDT

yeah! that sounds great!

What about if the people don't come down from the ship?

And also another idea is once they land, there is a base next to them that leads to an underground tunnel. This underground tunnel will be similar to orbital and would cover up the whole close quarters part of the map. It would eventually lead to where the other teams base is too. There will also be a whole series of doors they can come out of to the main large field area of the map too.

What do you think?

  • 03.13.2010 10:23 AM PDT

Brannon.k

i personaly think its a great idea and it would be great for halo also it would be better if you were abled to prone/laydown in combat also it would be really cool to have a wave defence gametype like GOW 2 horde.
