Subject: Space Battles in Halo: Reach

How about a map that has two cruisers that gradually get closer and allow the players to fly Hornets and Banshees between the ships. Pelicans and Phantoms could be used as well. The map would be good for team based game modes like team slayer or assault, where you would blow up the other teams ship. Like the maps in starwars battlefront 2

Lolwut?

There was a map on CE called Boarding Action, where you fight between ships, and use teleporters to get to the othe side. Confusing map that one.

Check out my file share for cool maps

That is a pretty good idea actually. Two-4 ships duking it out in space sounds fun to me. And maybe you could forge it, like mark where you want the ships n stuff.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

i cant believe i had to point this out. this is HALO: REACH, not Star Wars

If there are more aircraft then yes, that would be a good idea.

  • 08.18.2009 8:31 AM PDT

Die, just die

I like that idea. Kinda like Star wars battlefront 2 (kinda sucked, but i liked the space battles.) And the UNSC can aslo use those ships you fly on the last level in halo:CE I think they're called Stingrays. The UNSC should have The Archer Missles like in the books and a rear MAC blast that helps with the shields and all be AI controlled. The other side should have plasma cannons controlled by AI's. I think you should be able to enter enamy ships and take out some important systems inside. IE: shields, life support, the AI wepons, ect. I think this is an epic idea and i really really want it done. lol

I am pretty damn sure that he knows it's Halo Reach. Space Battles were also a big part in the history of Reach. So Space Battles similar to SWB2 or a whole new system to make it original would be cool too. They could include for UNSC- Pelicans, Hornets, Hawks, Longsword, Shortsword and for the Covenant- Phantom, Banshee, Vampires, Seraphs, and a new ship or modified Spirit to counter the Shortsword.

If you read the books, The battle over reach takes place in space. at least from the spartans point of view. And i bet they show more battles like this one. Reach is a very short battle and this game is going to take place before the events of reach and then Reach gets destroyed at the end. So logically, they should have space battles like st:bf. it would be smart. so dont be stupid and say that it wouldnt fit in with reach.

Yes, but this isn't halo at all, if you want to do this get Star Wars Battlefront 2

It would, but only if your in the ships fighting. Space combat won't work for Halo for a simple reason. SOME PEOPLE CAN'T FLY VEHICLES IN HALO.

  • 08.18.2009 8:49 AM PDT

Then if someone can't fly a vehicle then they shouldn't be in that playlist and they can learn to fly one.

H:R Is going to be different in itself. Dont be stupid and single minded like you are right now. If i were to go back in time and say "bungie should put a mode where wave of forces come and try and kill you" (firefight) you would say that isn't halo at all, if you want to do this play COD: waw. But because bungie said its needed, you agree am i right? I bet if bungie were to say they are going to have space battles, you would be all for it. Its new things like firefight, and possible space battles that keeps halo interesting. if they make the same thing over and over then it'll go downhill. Plus, i was only thinking one map be this space battle. not all of them.

Agreed, also think about it like this: If Halo:Reach is really Bungies last Halo game or at least for the time being, then adding anything that would make the game great and go out with a bang then they will add it. Whether it be Space Battles, new guns/vehicles, helmet cameras, a whole new way to play, the list goes on.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

It could be cool, but only if they do it right. Vague, I know, but true.

Actually, this is the version I made a couple of weeks ago.
