Subject: If you want huge battles.

Why not make a remake of Halo Wars. Not everyone would be a commander. I mean some people would be playing Halo as you normally would and some would be playing it Like a modified Halo Wars. If you were a commander you would instruct your troops to do stuff and you would buy troops normally. But everyone of those troops would be actual players searching on matchmaking (If you use a platoon you would be the squad leader and the squadmates would be AIs). You would get waypoints and voice communication from your commander so you knew where to go. This would enable the games to be HUGE and would let the two gaming communities unite.

This sounds cool! I think it would be really hard to do... and I feel there wouldnt be a lot of players online to have huge battles and no one would really follow the commanders orders!

Maybe the commanders should be able to make each player handi capped if they didn't listen to them (or just kill them)

That is too easily abused.

Yeah maybe. But why not have it so that if the players go too far away from their waypoint then the commander could do it.

I think a much 'safer' idea if you will, is that the player is a soldier in the UNSC army and is deployed to some planet. You have a central base and are given commands from a general. Imagine something like Star Wars Battlefront, but more objective/story driven and has the scale of Halo Wars. And it's Halo.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

I would always, ask for permission to just roam around, and be my own guy.

Perhaps they could just have a commander of some sort who would be controlling everything, getting upgrades and better spawn weapons, as well as upgrades to NPCs. The commander could also make NPCs such as squads of marines, tanks, etc... He would also be able to build the base and make supply pads, etc...

The player would be like any other player playing a campaign mission with human controlled allies and enemies. The commander go tell them where they should go, but they are not forced to go there.

Ya I see what you mean... or as long as your fighting with the proper platoon you are stronger and if you stray away from that you become weaker!
