Screw 20v20 why not 1000v1000, and the game lasts forever, and if your team gets off out of boredom you lose and can't play Halo any more, and the perfect map that you have to download, takes 1 whole day to complete, so if you win the game you know you have DEDICATION!

Hi there,
could you do me a favour? I have run out of polls today but i have a great game idea simillar to yours. plzz could you post this as a poll but put it was by me? If you do thanks. here it is: Ok heres how it goes: First during a game of matchmaking there is 2 teams of sixteen. One team is the unsc the other the covenant. If you are unsc you get a choice of being a spartan or marine. If you are covenant you get to be either a brute or elite. you are in a wide range map and each team starts of at a different base. to win your team must reach 150 kills and retrive the other teams flag and return it to your base. At the beginning of the match one person from each team will be selected to retrive the flag at the end. a bit like vip, but if the person dies it dosent change who the flag carrier is. The time limit is 20 mins.

I wonder if Bungie is watching this thread and us right now.

O.o

Most likely. 0.0

It sounded ridiculous, but then i realized that i'd be playing the -blam!- out of it. Massive battles on massive maps with orbital ships and calling down drop ships is the kind of epicness that Reach would do great with. I would just smooth it out a bit by removing any mention of buying weapons with points. I REALLY want to be droped into multiplayer in a pelican or spirit now.

  • 04.01.2010 9:45 PM PDT

Consider a game type where groups of six players command squads of AI UNSC or covenant forces into combat.

  • 04.01.2010 9:50 PM PDT

Be great. Bungie's probably watching the thread. It's been in the top forum topics for ages

Ohh i spell real good lol,

This is need with smart ai bots Bungie Put this in

  • 04.02.2010 4:16 AM PDT

Yeh awesome idea but persoanlly i would change one thing. when u get enough points to buy a weapon, the weapon should be given to the person doing the worst on ur team, otherwise the guy that is akready owning everybody will be even more powerful than before. Also if ur a really crap player u would never get any good guns. but then again if ur a really good player and the gun u unlocked got given to the crap player u wouldn't get any good guns either, i dunno maybe somebody can improve my idea further :)

No, it will never make it to the game. Bungie doesn't take any feedback from people and much less ideas like this. Good luck though, and very good idea.

ur right. I dont think Bungie would be able to even resist looking at a poll with all most 5000 votes. Ive always loved the idea, and i made me remember a game i read about, well 2 games

1: MAG (PS3 only), same style

2: Section 8

fuse these games and u get almost the same thing we r talking about right now.adding AI into the game and maybe add a slot for someone as an overview player (Halo Wars style) to control the AI and give info to the other players of his/her team. there would have 2 b 1 per team though.

wat does everyone else think?

Its a epic game mode, I like it

um.... yes lets create a magical gametype that is programmed to be perfect!

a little stupid but funny

  • 04.02.2010 5:53 PM PDT

Die? Haven't you heard? Spartans never die.

I think you would have to have two seperate cruisers. And the whole weapon cache thing is a good idea, but I think it would have to be unlocked by the teams points instead of the individuals.

  • 04.02.2010 6:35 PM PDT

This game sounds amazing i hope bungie makes this. the dropping vehicles is great changes should be made but overall great. speaking of dropping vehicles i think u should be able to call a quick pelican missle strike as it blastes u with a 50 cal while covnant should have 3 banshees circle for 20-30 seconds and blast anything they see if they meet a battle starts wat do u think???

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.

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.
i think it very good you must have put a good amount of thought into it but id like the option to pick either to land in a pelican or shadow for covenant but if your unsc you can use a drop pod from halo 3 odst i always liked that idea

  • 04.03.2010 9:02 AM PDT

i hope so this would be a brilliant idea

  • 04.03.2010 9:03 AM PDT

Wake Me....... When You Need Me

Man I love the idea of dropping down in a pelican/spirit it sounds so EPIC

  • 04.03.2010 3:17 PM PDT

Sounds great but it seems like a ripoff of Titan from Battlefield 2142. Not that thats bad, I love it :P

  • 04.03.2010 3:54 PM PDT

4minute

It will never happen.
But I would definetly want it (with a few changes).
NO weapon buying- As in past Halos, all weapons should be availiable to all players. None of the do good, get better weapons, as this is basically killstreak reward rip-off of COD, which is not a good system.
Make it an option to drop down in a HEV, not something that is forced- Always dropping would disrupt the flow of the game. In Section 8 (a game in which you drop everytime you spawn) constantly dropping is quite boring.
Smaller kill limit- 200 is just to much. Something around 100 would be much better and easier to attain.

Other than that, it is a great idea.

  • 04.03.2010 4:11 PM PDT

How about when you start, whether you be covenant or UNSC, you choose a class that has cons and pros. Please read through the whole list of ideas before commenting. CC is wanted. Example:

UNSC:

Spartan:

PROS:
*More damage
*Can take more damage
*Can operate heavy machinery
CONS:
*Slow moving and cannot jump very high
*Bigger, so bigger hitboxes
*Cannot access some machinery due to size
*Bigger size means hiding behind barricades and walls is less effective.
*Respawn takes one minute

Marine:

PROS:
*Move at a mediocre speed
*Can jump a mediocre height
*Average damage
*Can access most machinery
CONS:
*Takes more damage
*Cannot access some machinery due to size

ODST:

PROS:
*Cannot be killed while falling from dropship, as they fall in pods
*Can access all machinery (See ODST Cons)
*Do average damage and take an average amount of damage from hits
*Can control where pods land
CONS:
*Cannot access heavy machinery
*Cannot use all weapons

COVENANT

Grunt:

Pros:
*Moves very very fast
*Gets double points for kills
*Killing a spartan counts as two kills for the covenant
*Small size means they can hide behind barricades and walls easier
*Smaller, so smaller hitboxes
*Respawn as soon as you die
Cons:
*Only machinery the grunt can access are turrets, (Including vehicle turrets) Ghosts, passenger seats, mongoose, and other small machinery.
*Can only use standard weapons:
Pistols
Needler
AR
BR
And any other standard weapons
*Can die from two magnum hits

Elite:
Same as spartan

Brute:
Same as spartan

Hunter:

Pros:
*Can take and deal massive amounts of damage
Cons:
*Cannot access any machinery
*Cannot pick up weapons (Only has standard, mounted weapon. Takes ages to charge and fire, but is an instant kill for all classes apart from spartans)
*Takes lots of damage from grenades
*Size means hiding is almost impossible
*Respawn takes two minutes

Jackals:

Pros:
*Has a shield
*Small size makes it easier to hide
Cons:
*Once shield is destroyed it cannot be recharged
*Can only use sniper rifles and pistols, and cannot operate vehicles, can only be passengers

SO THOSE ARE MY IDEAS. Sorry if anyone else has mentioned this, but I didn't read through all the pages of the thread. Please tell me if I have forgotten anything in this list.
