i found this idea in a thread named would you like this new game mode. im just saying what i think.

so, you start off in a UNSC cruiser, and you pick your weapons. then you get into a HEV, then drop onto the battlefeild. the map is big, like you would need to be able to call in a pelican for transport kind of big. you choose where you want to drop, but only out of certant drop zones, so you can get to good sniper spots or behind enemy lines easier. then you have objectives, like assault or CTF, or even destroting AA batteries.

the covenant start off being dropped from phantoms into a base. their objectives are to defend the flag, the bomb planting spot, AA batteries, etc.

of course, the covenant can be dropped from HEV-like pods if they are attackers, and the UNSC can be dropped from pellicans. their could be a aquad system, where a few people, like 2-4, can drop together or in pelicans/phantoms. you could even play as a spartan or a brute/elite commanding marine/grunt squads. you could also use points your squads gets from kills to get vehicles, like tanks, warthogs, etc.

this would be a strategic gametype, requiring teamwork and coordination. it would also need a dedicated server accessed from the main menu along with matchmaking,forge, campaign, and theatre. it would have 20-30 players each team, with ai squads to fill in. theatre would also need to be edited for this, because it would last soo long.

please post what you think about this. im sure ill get some weird posts, but try not to.

good. there would be mass amounts of lag. i guess this could work though.

where would you respawn?

Well in terms is spawning if youre the attacker you spawn in the HEV launche area. IF youre def not so sure. Sounds like youre baseing it off of Killzone2 which has multiple objectives in one game. I like that idea but i think it could be fine tuned a bit. you get my vote but the idea could be improved upon.

Humans didn't create war...... We perfected it!

The Gametype sounds pretty good, alot like Battlefield 2142, Only not my kind of game. Still if you had bots for offline yeah I'd play it alot.

ok, maybe smaller teams and maps to work aganst lag. and you spawn where you dropped the first time or drop again... or they would edit the whole HEV thing
