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.

I'm really not sure how a HvC space battle would go though...

It's a great idea and all but It's never happening. Now It's just an idea thread that will be cast aside and eventually forgotten about.

  • 04.04.2010 4:03 PM PDT

"Hey! I heard you fellas taste.... just like chicken!!"

I like this idea, som fine tuning here and there and it would be really cool.

OMD Leader

We accept all people. You will be kicked if I find you to be an ass. Otherwise, I love all people and you can join.

Ok this is awesome. Bungie I demand you at least think about this (hides in banhammer-proof bunker)

  • 04.04.2010 4:44 PM PDT

I FIGHT ETERNALLY

its a pretty sweet idea man

  • 04.04.2010 4:50 PM PDT

that would be awesome if we get enough people to vote bungie might try to add it

  • 04.04.2010 5:28 PM PDT

This sounds a bit like invasion :)

Hai.

If Bungie could have made a game so vastly epic, they would have.
If you want the update so bad, go design a -blam-ing aawesome game yourself whiny -blam-.

With love,

For the weapons thing, if you could call in a vehicle drop, then why not a weapons drop? You could spend however many points you want and it'll drop off the weapons according to what you paid.
And somebody mightve already suggested this, but really? I'm not gonna read 80 pages to make sure.

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.


nah this idea sux ass

Jk its pretty good

how the hell do u know what invasion is

  • 04.06.2010 11:16 PM PDT

What I'm thinking is basically the same...EXCEPT, I would enjoy something with less players and AI in the battle. like having it a full on battle in some part of reach. In my version it's a huge map that's a long strip and will start In a confined area, that it In itself will be it's own map in a sort of way,In the middle of the strip. your team will move forward into another confined zone on the strip when you doing really good and same when your doing bad but you move backward cause your doing bad. Details can be made up themselves by bungie but atleast leave the game on that foundation.

You couldn't release a buggy game back in the cartridge and cassette days, if you even tried they would feed you to the company dinosaur- Benjamin Croshaw

Its not a bad idea, its actually a great concept. But the difficulty is executing the idea. I have to say no to this due to the fact that with this concept, it could only take a very small issue for it to fail. There would most certainly be glitches, nothing Bungie can fix because no matter how hard you work on a game there will be glitches, and they would be exploited. Also Bungie would want to stay true to the story and information of their games, novels and information on their equipment, in order to do that they would have things such as random death occurrences within the HEV and Covenant Insertion Pods. (Note I am un aware of the proper name for Covey drop pods.) And other things that would ruin balancing of the idea. I'm a game developer and once had a similar idea, something like this could make an amazing game on its own, but could take a decade to perfect, and Bungie isn't making Duke Nukem Forever, they have a due date. This isn't going to be incorporated into a game any time soon, but as we get more technology, hell it might make the best bloody game ever.

instead of flying down in a HEV maybe a squad or two could hop into a pelican/phantom

  • 04.07.2010 2:03 PM PDT

I went back to my old account, Bahh M15.

It seems a bit too complicated for multiplayer.

Or you could have a 45 second time limit to leave the cruiser. Other wise you die, loose all your points from that round and it adds 5 seconds to your respawn time each time you do it. So next time you die you'll have about 8 seconds. And if you stay in the cruiser too long again, you'll be up at 13 seconds, and it builds from there on. Something like that so one team doesn't get tons of points and then hide in the cruiser until time runs out.

But the chain link fence thing is a good idea, except do you mean it would open it up for everybody, just your team, or just you. I don't see how it could only let you and a couple others in without letting your whole team in or even the other team.


The idea for this game type is extremely good. the time limit is also good because it would cause you to hurry up and punish people lagging behind.

  • 04.07.2010 2:29 PM PDT

I like everything except for the weapon shop thing. And for the spawning, instead of jumping out of the cruiser, a few pelicans/phantoms would land with the players inside of them. And when you die, you respawn at your base. Other than the weapon shop and respawning in the ship thing, I love your idea.

that is the best idea ive herd so far
