HURR DURR, YOU KNOW WUT WOOD BE GOOD? IF BUNGIE COMPLETELY REHAULD THEIR ENGINE AGIN TO ALLOW 40 ACTIVE PLAYURZ THEN MASHED EVERY GAMETYPE TOGEDDER WHILE ALSO CODING AN ORBITLE DROP MECHANIC AND SUMHOW MAKE A "PERFEKT MAP".

No. Also you stole ideas from like, 3-4 other games. You know what WOULD be cool? A map where you are on a UNSC ship and Elites spawn into a covie whip and they are docked against eachother and you can go back and forth between them.

It seems too much to me like a whole other game.
Great idea for a game, I think, like possibly a Call of Duty/Battlefield esque style, but Halo doesn't seem to be a good fit for it.
And it sounds an awful lot like the gametype Invasion for the most part, with a few delicate twists, such as player count and the weapon retrieval/currency system.
And if there is only one "Super Map", that it seems like would take a while to build, people would tire of it rather easy. And even if you made another one, through strenuous weeks and months of working, it would be good for maybe another month or so. And then you'll want more, and more and more, and i'm not so concerned the Halo servers can handle that many people, on one giant polygon infested map that by itself could possibly blow the servers.

But still, not a bad idea.
I'm not shooting it down completely, just a little skeptic towards it and if it has it's own playlist, why not?

This idea has been around since fall last year. Invasion was Bungie's attempt to make a game along these lines without the use of a dedicated server. Invasion just isn't the same.

It has the varied environment, (indoor and outdoor) the multiple objectives, weapon drops, and the spartans vs. elites. They did not give it a dedicated server, so they couldn't do 20 vs. 20, so there were no squads, they did not have the drop from orbit, and they did not allow weapon purchase. (in place for armories)

I dearly hope they fix Invasion and incrase the team size to increase the strategy required for victory, otherwise the whole idea of this gametype will have been pointless. this is the best idea I have seen in a long time, and if Bungie doesn't make it the way it should be, then they shouldn't have Invasion at all.

Forgive me but I didn't have time to read the whole thread, so I'm just going to suggest something based on the original post.

In my opinion this would be perfect for Blood Gulch due to the size. Also, this game would work well with a territory system. The teams would gain bonuses from holding different territories, such and more points, faster respawn times, etc.

DLC would be an excellent option for this mode, and I totally think this would sell like hotcakes, even if it was 15 or 20 bucks.

Who reads these anyways?

99 pages. How long.

This is a genius idea. I am positive bungie would be able to pull this off... eventually. The only problem I see here is the fact that, this idea would require a massive amount of programming, map designing, bug fixing, etc. I don't think Bungie would be able to pull this off before September 14. Maybe have it as DLC, personally I would pay a lot of Microsoft Points for something like this.

I don't quite understand though what you mean by bomb. Do you mean like in MW2 where you can get tactical nukes?

Gameplay like this would be epic, more epic than the release of Forge mode and Theatre for Halo 3.

Another thing is, this would fry the servers haha.

A game mode like this would really bring back Halo to the amount of respect and popularity it deserves. Especially considering the only real marketing device Bungie has for Reach is "OMG LOOK GUISE ITZ ANOTHER HALO!!1" and they assume it will sell.
It probably will sell, but a game mode like this would garner much more interest for Reach.

My Xbox Live GT is iiHaveAProblem. Like all of us here, I am a guy behind my computer screen in my mother's basement right now. And if I'm not, I am on a couch, playing Halo.

Pretty cool idea.

So I'm supposed to put something profound or witty here, right?

When I heard this I thought Section 8 too but that was fun and I'd love to play this!

99 pages later and I still would love this.

Sounds good but the servers would explode I think.

i think its a really cool idea but i think if you added hunters and stuff like in fire fight it would make it make way more funner.

GO OUTSIDE THE CANYON

you know what i REALLY want in assault gametypes. DESTROYABLE BASES! so once one team detonates the bomb, the base is shook into pieces. but in the next round, the pieces of the base that fell off were still in the same spot where they fell the round before to add more strategy and intensity to the gametype.

  • 07.10.2010 7:43 PM PDT

If I Hear Another Person Say This Game Would Crash The Servers My Head Will Explode!
We already know that. It would require a dedicated server, as was suggested from page one! So stop saying it would crash and talk about something else instead, like how Invasion is like this but smaller and less tactical. I hope they add this to Halo Reach as DLC. That would make this game complete.

  • 07.10.2010 8:09 PM PDT

As awesome as that would be, the only way to do that would be through meticulous Forging to make it look like a base.

...

Actually, that's a great idea. With multiple bases to take control of that could be destroyed it could add a tactical element to it.

Forgivness is between them and God, it's my job to arrange the meeting.

Like combining a round based mmo, with halo wars tactical style, with all the sweet sweet honey of the halo fps gameplay. Of course this idea rocks!!!!

i love the idea of massive multiplayer, but there should be more than one cruiser for each team, and the teams should be massive, like 50v50.
it would probably take entire cities of maps to utilize every weapon.
then the spartans could hold down fort in a good camping area, and the elites could try to flank. it would be pretty fun.

Agreed

i have an edition to your plan of this game pls hear me out! k, once you get the bomb, you set the bomb on a door and in that door is enemy intel and you must themn extract the intel and yes the intel carriers can ride in vehicles but can't kill with the intel. hope you like the idea.
