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.
