dude that's perfect! it might be a little too late but this could definitely be used for the next halo game.

I love it. Absolutely love it.

The only thing I would like to add is: Keeping the points you earn

Either make some sort of currency that goes up with your points (e.g. 10 kills earns you 100 points and $100), or simply keep your points and have permanent access to the weapon caches/vehicle drops. I just don't want to lose my bragging rights because kicking ass in Halo multiplayer has never been my strong suit. lol

I love Halo, I have played it since the beginning, even though I may not have had Xbox Live back then. Marathon is also a pretty good game.

Thank You Bungie! For the best games and Recon Armor. Also thanks for the early access to the Halo: Reach Beta!

This account was hacked and I now have a new account.

Sounds like a cool idea, but it would be very hard to make I would think. Also there probably wouldn't be much maps to play it on. Great idea over all though.

"Men, we led those dumb bugs out to the middle of nowhere to keep 'em from gettin' their filthy claws on Earth. But, we stumbled onto somethin' they're so hot for, that they're scramblin' over each other to get it. Well, I don't care if it's God's own anti-son-of-a--blam!- machine, or a giant hula hoop, we're not gonna let 'em have it! What we will let 'em have is a belly full of lead, and a pool of their own blood to drown in! Am I right, Marines?"

I love it. Though it would take AGES for one game. Given that a Big Team Slayer (8v8, 100 kills) takes about 10-15 minutes.. Double that, and you get a match of about half an hour. Then there's a game of Assault after it. It'd literally take 45 minutes (tops). That's all fine, but people are gonna quit in-game. It happens very often in Social Big Team, so why wouldn't it happen with over 2 times the players? Any solution to this?

Just my 2 cents.

So who likes SWAT?

Whoah you just blew my -blam!-ing mind...

I like this idea! Did you come up with a name for it?

  • 03.14.2010 7:35 AM PDT

AMAZING IDEA!!! but i dont think 20vs20 is enough. i think it should be 32vs32

Kudos to who thought this up , this is a great idea especially the part about starting in like a huge ship in space =), i like everything except the weapons buying, i think that you should still have to pick up weapons on the map, but i guess you could always choose to not spend your points. All in all, a great idea. I really hope bungie listens to the community and puts this mode in, if it didnt work out its not like it would be a big deal, all the other modes would still be available.

I like the idea, but think it would need some tweaking (and if I post anything that has already been said, sorry - but I aint reading 75 bloody pages of posts!).

Given the idea for the main game and the prospective team sizes, 200 kills might well be a touch low - standard 8 vs 8 Slayer requires 100 to win. The added idea of the introduction of an assualt phase would also be a nice touch. I'm not doubting Bungie could make the kind of map that a game type like this would require, however I do seriously wonder exactly how big the map would have to be to make use of every single weapon and vehicle available, and find myself wondering if it might require more than 20 players per side to make it viable.

Ok where to begin. it sounds like a great idea... but I have a few suggestions.

First of all I love the drop in from a cruiser thing. I have seen maps made like this and made a few myself using Forge and I wished we could do this at the beginning of firefight but oh well.

Secondly I want to add to the assualt idea. How about once you reach the kill limit you get a message on the screen about a new objective. the side you're on sends down a sort of atom bomb thing directly under the cruiser ( It looks like the bomb like from early Halo 2 and from the books). you're objective is to load it on to a vehicle specially designed for carrying this , then you are to take it to the enemy base and some how defend the are until you get a transport up to the enemy cruiser. you get it in find a good place to put it defend it(like territories) until someone( like a vip) can arm it (which can only happen if the entire team is in the cruiser) then let it blow the cruiser to smitherines. Aaannnd for an extra twist the more people you get out of the ship alive the more points you get like if noone gets out alive you get 500 points if 1 gets out alive you get 1,000 extra points if 2 get out alive you get 2,000 extra points and so on then those who died respawn on your cruiser and since the enemy team is left without a respawn point the game switches to a mode like firefight. also your vip gets to choose how long the timer is set for letting it blow up immediately or setting it for a maximum of 10 minutes. this timer also determines how long it takes to disarm the bomb.

a new objective gets added to elimenate the enemy team before they get reinforcements. which happens if your team dies a certain number of times. the problem is your team gets weaker from exhaustion while theirs gets stronger from adreniline or something. Also the enemy team can still reach their objective and destroy your base. if you manage to finish off the enemy team the game is over and you when in objective completion but the team with the most points whens in wwwweeelll points.

There caan also be some like extra capture the flag type objective causing you to split the team on the ship half going to place the bomb the other half going to take an enemy A.I.

tell me if my suggestions are good
Thanks : )

good idea but i think it would have to be an expantion of reach.

  • 03.15.2010 11:41 PM PDT

how about a human sword (simaler to coventent sword) and how about for the next game (if there is going to be one) we play as coventent before the descovery of man. like we play as one of the four types of covenent brutes, elities, jakals, and grunts ( your choice) all agensed the flood and some of the wild life on the planets being concord.

"This Is Sparta!"

i think that a player can only drop a small vehicle like a ghost, mongoose or a banshee, yet if you want a big vehicle then your squad can buy it adding the points up altogether like a scorpion, hornet or even (if possible) an ELEPHANT of halo 3

Dat be a great sugguestion. You load the bomb into some Elephant-like vehicle, haul it through the massive frontier of a map, and plant it on the Enemy base. Although, when you think of the size of the bomb, that seems a bit heavy to put on the base without something interfering... Perhaps something a little more mobile is in order?

omg its amazing how many people do not realize the fact that every thing the OP posted is exactly what section 8 was. And its funny that section 8 also was released before this post. Stop giving the OP credit for the copied idea

i thinks it really interesting and creative... but... seems to complicated for a game like halo. its a good idea and well thought out.. though.. maybe if it wasnt on such a large scale and so many things that need to work out perfect to make the game happen effeciently. i think it would work well after that.
but dang dropping from pods from a ship into battle that is one awesome way to start a game, would love to see that. and actually would be cool in a spartans vs elites setting. i think its just too big a stunt to pull off..
