Subject: Would you like this new game mode

well i love this idea, and i should know, because i got 71/78 of achievement on Halo 3, and 40 something/58 achievements on ODST. But 3/56 achievements on Wars :(

It would be awsome because the ps3 has mag with 256 players in 1 game.The Xbox 360 would be really cool!

LOTS of good ideas, once simplified into one "Game Mode" it would make a cool DLC!

Idea: the drop ship that you spawn from would move around on one side of the map to prevent spawn killing!

"Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain."

Just take out the campaign scoring and it would be perfect. Maybe instead of campaign scoring you could just cash in killing sprees like in COD

I have a great idea. Your idea is perfect, except a couple things I would change. First, the game seems too short for something so massive. I would increase the score to, say, 500, and each team gets a bomb every time they reach a multiple of 100 kills, making for five bombs per team. You would have to take these bombs to various critical points within your enemy's base/ship, and once they're all neutralized, the enemy headquarters is disabled and you win. Now, in terms of points, I think I have a solution. Every time you reach a certain amount of points, a new loadout will become available to you. I think this is a brilliant opportunity for REACH's new gameplay elements to shine. Obviously, these loadouts would go from worst to best as you do better. The final loadout is a Captain/Arbiter(?) kind of deal that gets a weapon like the one at the 0:33 mark in this video. Only, instead of airstrikes, you're calling in Pelicans/Phantom supply drops. They dropships arrive with numerous items, but you can only take one thing before it takes off, and it'll take off after about, say, thirty seconds anyway. Obviously this "weapon" would look different for Elites and could only be used rarely. So, what do you think?



I like that idea (because doesn't it seem a little unrealistic, even for halo, that only one bomb could blow up a cruiser?).

I like this but it has been mentioned over and over

  • 06.26.2010 10:02 AM PDT

I like the idea about calling in pelican airdrops. if you could use points earned to ask for a weapons carepackage as well as vehicles, it would solve the weapons shop problem too. Just incorporate the chain link fences idea so that the weapons/vehicles you can call in match the points you have earned. Or you can call in better weapons as the game progresses.

Drob

i like your ideas

  • 06.26.2010 10:20 AM PDT

This game mode sounds AWESOME! It would be so big, though, that you would need a second disc.

Something like this would be awesome maybe they can pull it off on a smaller scale?

Invasion

  • 06.26.2010 5:37 PM PDT

i not to sure about this one but i think its an awsome idea but they would have to prolong the games realese date by a year. also i think we should have a game variant like the president game in halo 3 only this one will be in firefight you can have one president and the other players will be body gaurds then the covonant or what ever will be the terrorists. if you like this idea please start some other forums about this game variant so it may become and actual game variant in the game. and once again amazing idea just real big that would probably be more of a campaign level.

Ya, has anyone else notice that MAYBE bungie say this thread and took it and possibly made it into INVASION? Or is it just me?

  • 06.26.2010 9:56 PM PDT

MEDIC!

Why not just go ahead and make a MAG version of halo? 343 Industries is probibly going to make some halo game thats all multiplayer

ok most of it sound really good dont get me wrong but i think that the vehicle drops using your points or watever sounds alot like call of duty kill streaks. All up though i think this is a really good idea bungie would be silly if they didnt at least have a go at making a gametype simalar to this one.

  • 06.27.2010 3:19 AM PDT

Sounds good to me.
How about a map that's war torn? A large open field with craters and small bunkers? The bunkers could have staircases leading down into underground caves? That would be useful for the close up spaces for weapons such as the shotgun.

Then for the main bases perhaps a decent sized 2-3 story tower? At the top could be the bomb plant spot along with an air platform where you get dropped off.

Maybe even some aerial vehicles spawn there.

What do you think?

i didnt read it all. its soooo big

Invasion is the same basic idea on a small scale. Invasion Slayer reminds me of this gametype with weapon drops you earn with kills and controlling areas. Invasion progresses like this game mode too.

My real acount Xbox live name is Gavoon, I have Halo 3 Halo ODST and i have Preodered Reach :P

This sound very good, Sorry if this is the same as other ones, I tried to read it and gave up on page 4, The Reason I stopped playing halo 3 so often, which hurts to say this Because I am a die hard Bungie Fan is that, There was not and HUGE battles ya Social Large team battles was fun for a while then i just played campaign, Halo Really need something like this i'm afraid halo is dying ): So I really hope Bungie puts this idea in or this could be the last halo ever large scale bought i considered not buying ODST and I wish I never Did, Halo needs a change and this would give us the change that we as a community needs to trust buying Bungie Products I have to say if this game does not do well i am giving up on Bungie to . I also have a idea to add on you guys know like the bonus xp weekend, how about on weekends like they add 5 more players on to both teams or something similar, Come on Bungie! GET THIS GAME MODE IN!!!

i am not mad at you at all maybe the voice comunicating problem we could only here people next to us to make it realistick but you have a radeo to call one person at a time to talk but that whole thing semes like a matchmaking game like halo reach invasion again i am not mad and i thing its a great idea

  • 06.28.2010 4:37 PM PDT

Perhaps including the whole 200 point match bit, you could also have a few different game types that occasionally pop up. Not like MAG where the objective was there from the beginning, but where the mission could be launched at any time.

Perhaps you need to go capture intel from the enemy base. Or perhaps you go assassinate their VIP.

It could come up randomly during the match, increasing the replayability because it isn't the same mission at the same time in the match all the time, and it would offer a point reward if completed. That way, the players in for Slayer can continue to play Slayer, while players wanting to do an objective or two in their gameplay could do so as well.

Plus, I would like the idea of Star Wars Battlefront 2 where you could capture bases, and that would allow different spawns, and allow there to be the feeling of tug-of-war with the bases.

love loadout idea maybe if you have a lot of points before you drop pod drop from your ship you can go to a vehicle room where you can pay a number of points to drop in a vehicle not a drop pod and the game would be cind of like halo reach invasion but you hae the job of an elite and spartan but every time you respown you spawn in the ship to redrop please respond to this idea i wall not be ofended if you dont like it be honest but dont be meen about it
