With Halo: Reach comes the revamp of gametypes. While I don't expect SLyaer to be changed much, I do think Objectives could be.

Flags

Version 1
Your Average Flag

I expect this to be the actual flag Bungie uses in CTF gametypes. Its memorable and it works.

Version 2
AI Display

Instead of a Flag, you can now steal your enemies AI. You would grab it and have a case in your right hand. The AI would flicker to life and depending on the enemy team will either be red or blue. With your right hand taken, you can still arm yourself with a dual wieldable weapon.


Assault

Version 1
Average Bomb

Like the original flag, the standard bomb will most likely make it in Halo: Reach.

Version 2
Andy the Bomb

Perhaps in a nod to Rooster Teeth, Bungie could include a bomb, but have random bits of dialogue, *cough* insults *cough*, come from the bomb.

Version 3
The Golden Grunt

Now this may sound a bit silly, but hear me out. Imagine a mini Grunt statue, in gold, that you can carry. Once armed, two arms would lift in the air with two blue orbs popping out. Suicide Grunts FTW!


Hills and Territories

Instead of having different versions, I feel the alternate versions would follow the same model.

Hills and Territories would look like this.

Hill Model

Perhaps an alternate Territory could take a nod from Star Wars Battlefront. I am referring to this.

Instead of an Empire or Rebel symbol, it would have the symbols from the Bed Base or Blue Base from the banners on Coagulation.

The difference between the Territories and Hills is that the Territories would have a Red/Blue Spartan model on the little metal "X". The Hills would have a constantly flashing Spartan that would flash from red, to white, to blue, with however repeats happen.


What do you think? Would these work?

I like the AI idea, but the AI should do more.

Perhaps some dialogue like "Where are you taking me?".

I'd like to see a hill variant like queen of the knoll from Banjo Kazooie nuts and bolts.

Instead of having a static hill that teleporters, you have a dynamic hill that moves through the air to each "teleport" location, stops for thirty seconds, then moves on to the next one.

Would make king of the hill a lot more interesting, especially if the hill did interesting things like jump from the plasma rifles to the sniper tower on The Pit which forces everyone to run around in a mad dash to get on top of the sniper tower.

Plus instead of constantly assaulting a defended position where the hill is with grenades, a clever team can plan ambushes for when the hill moves past a point.
