Subject: Airstrikes in Halo: Reach?

Good idea or not. They would have the MAC Cannon, Carpet bomb, Cryo Bomb and ofcorse the Nuclear Bunker Buster.

EDIT: And also like a disruption bomb or something.

Airstrikes.....? I'd be okay with them in cinematics, but seriously, I really wouldn't like airstrikes in the gameplay of Halo: Reach. Too much like CoD5...

not so much like Halo wars, just like airstrikes that can help you out a little, Reach waslike one of the biggest millitary areas in the Halo series shouldn't there be airstrikes?

And im not talking about the Cod:5 way were there is airstrike after airstrike all you want im leaning twords the Mercs 2 way were you have limited airstrikes you have to make good use of.

It could work in a new game mode, like bomb assault. In this game mode you have to install some tracking device, that send a signal for an airstrike. it could be for BTB or just Team Objectives

Nice idea

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

That'd be cool for campaign mode.

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

Airstrikes no. That is one of the features that turned me away from COD multiplayer. When a player gets enough kills to call in an airstrike, that player is almost guaranteed to win. Halo is bad enough with players using multiple accounts and preventing new players from ranking up or having fun (getting sniped gets old pretty fast).

So, no airstrikes.

  • 08.22.2009 11:20 AM PDT

Man I love how I have to repeat what im saying

No infinite airstrikes, you get a limited number that you can use (like 3 or 4) only when you get the lead or something. And not just for matchmaking, for Campaign and custom games too, also it would e a nice element in machinimas.

It's still reminding me too much of CoD5. And 3 or 5 airstrikes? Are you crazy!? That's overkill right there, even on Legendary Campaign mode!

I know you're not talking about infinite airstrikes, but that would horribly unbalance the game, especially once a team or individual got enough kills to unlock the feature.

Granted, though, it would be cool for Machinima.

I have to totally agree with you on that thing.

  • 08.22.2009 11:29 AM PDT

well it doen't have to be like 10000000000 bombs just maybe like a few.

Or you could unlock certian airstrikes with your rank like armors. At level 1 you get like a brick of C4 and at level 50 you get a nuke.

And im not trying to make it seem like CoD im making it try to seem like Halo

And why would you get airstrikes on individual games? That I would have to disagree with.

That suddenly just made it sound even more like CoD. >.<

Ranking up airstrikes.... I think the only thing that'd be okay to rank up is, well, you're rank. Being able to rank up air strikes would be incredibly imbalanced. All you'd need to do is just keep placing them down in places where many people go, and you'll practically win the game like that.

Agreed. In addition, I hate the idea of rank based rewards. It makes higher players that much harder to beat (especially in a game like halo, where one much win to rank up, or even gain experience), and turn new players away pretty quick.

ok how bout this, airstrike randomly hidden around the map.1 airstrike. Its hidden in a different spot each time. You have to steal it to get it. It is not the objective of the game tho. You stand by it like you stand by the flag, after a certian amount of time you will get it.

There does that sound like CoD? No. It sounds more like this or this.

  • 08.22.2009 11:38 AM PDT

blame stosh!

call of halo warning...

That actually sounds a little more interesting, and would be balanced. If the airstrike were treated more like a power-up (as you have suggested), that would definitely be a cool feature
