It's a great idea.
I would change, as you anticipated, the part where we go and buy weapons with our points. Inside the Cruiser, there are numerous weapon stashes locked in chain-linked fences that become available every time you get a certain number of kills.
Each weapon stash, depending on how easy it is to unlock, would hold specific weapons (the stash that requires 100 points would hold ARs, Maulers, SMGs, and Frag Grenades. The last one that requires 100,000 points would hold a Spartan Laser, a few Swords, and a Missile Pod) These are just examples.
Ex. You get 10 kills (as you said) and imagine those 10 kills scored you 100 points. In order to open the first chain-linked fence to get to the first weapon stash, you need 150 points. Once you have 150 points, you can walk up to any of the stashes that require 150 points or less to unlock, and unlock it.
You bring up some good ideas.
This would be good stash wise but point based would make it so the winning team could immediately get the good weapons. You could also add a vehicle garage or two in the map with mongeese or gohsts, maybe falcons and banshees/vampires. Instead I would make it a time based thing, like the stashes are underground and you have to cover the entrance until the stash is secured. Then the entrance 'ckoses for 30 seconds so everyone can suit up. This would allow for last chance mad dashes for stuff if you are losing, but in the assault stage all stashes would default open as would garages. To open the garages you would do the same thing except there would be one at each teams base and you had to stand in the open to secure them. Once opened they would reset in five minuets.
