Subject: Warming up while searching.

Remember supersmash bros brawl? When your searching for a match, you can beat around a sandbag.
Wouldn't it be cool if you could do the same thing with halo? You would spawn on a special map and it wouldn't be intended as a game, just a couple dozen seconds to get sort of warmed up. There could be some NPCs for you to shoot, or you could just shoot your party members. The map would be a very very small and bland map (quick load), with every weapon right on the ground where you spawn. Once you've found your game, the warm up will end.
tell me what you think.

I dont like the idea. would feel weird...

HOWEVER I wouldn't mind having something to do beside waiting.
like in DMC3, you can press X or triangle (PS2 game XD) and it'd do a little animation to the logo. or in the recent DBZ game, you can do stuff too.

pointless, but it makes time fly away...

You wanna play rough? OK!!!

I think this is a good idea.

Like in FIFA games. While the game is loading you are warming up against the goal keeper.

How the heck would it "feel weird"? WTF?!

Sending me a group invite or some kind of other pointless, time wasting advert gets you blocked. Don't bother wasting your time. kthnxbai

It would be pretty cool if you could shoot some grunts while it was finding a match or something.

Or... a beefed-up version of this.

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.

Would be a cool way to burn away the boredom with your party members, and if you have none, just have some grunts and such in there.

Great idea.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”
