Yes you like it? or No you don't?

Fleet Battles

For the moment I am going to get straight to the point and tell you that for these space battles a player is going to be flying a large ship of the UNSC Navy or the Covenant.

Yes, I know the Covenant Navy outpowers the UNSC Navy 3 to 1 but, for the sake of multiplayer purposes i think that each team has its own advantages/disadvantages so I will go through 1 ship of each the Covenant and the UNSC to give you a brief idea on the fair gameplay depending on the teams.

Covenant

CCS-class Battle Cruiser
Plasma Torpedo - Higher damage than MAC though slower and can be avoided by other ships.
Plasma Turrets - Used against longswords or seraphs (50mm point defence guns equivalent).
Pulse Laser Turret - side by side combat (Archer missles equivalent).

UNSC

Marathon Class Cruiser
MAC - Not as destructive as the plasma torpedo though faster travel, when on target a ship cannot escape.
50mm point defence guns - Used against longswords or seraphs (Plasma turret equivalent).
Archer Missles - side by side combat (Pulse Laser Turret equivalent).

Pre-GameLobby

-2 leader's for each team will be randomly chosen to Command an Assault Carrier or Phoenix-class Colony ship.
-6 other players will be chosen to command 3 Battle Cruisers or Marathon-class Cruisers.
-8 players will be chosen to fly seraphs or longswords.
-2 teams of 16
-Gametype and map will be chosen

In-Game

-Both fleets close in to each for a minute with restricted fire, though teammates can switch ships by leaving in a seraph or longsword and let others in.
-This can also be done during combat though if a ship is left stranded and destroyed the team is a ship down.
-If a player is killed in the ship that means that player is defeated and the ship is destroyed.
-A cruiser, carrier or colony ship must not be fired at for 10 secs before a player can leave that ship.
-Boarding crafts can be deployed which you have an option to fly yourself or autopilot, when it board if your in it, several friendlies exit into the ship and can destroy it from the inside or kill the player controlling the ship.
-The last team standing wins the game.

Maps

Asteroid Belt - Theres no turning back the ring of asteroids around the flood infested planet has destroyed the fleet of each Navy, fight to escape.

Vastate - Fight in open space with nothing but you any the enemy.

Impact - It starts out in space then you all go crashing down to Reach because of some disturbance (or it could be like the covenant shoot down the UNSC team) and while you are falling, the ship is fine, the engines are just busted, so you have to fight off the covenant team until your engines get fixed.

Slipspace - Both teams race and fight to Reach.


Have any ideas for maps? Then just post and i may add to list.
Or anything else that needs changing?

Thanks to LinkLegend0 for suggesting the map Impact and slipspace and the idea of boarding (though i have extended the idea)

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

Dude no, oh please god no.

All our dreams come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.

This would be win. Halo battlefront sounds cool.

i like it a bit, it would be cool if you could walk around inside the ship and board the enemy ship and take it out from the inside.

Space battles don't appeal to me in the slightest.

I was thinking you should be able to do that something flying a longsword into the cargo bay of an assault carrier then going to the bridge and taking control

Please don't bump your thread.

Anyway, I doesn't really appeal to me all that much. It'll feel like Star Wars

It would be fun though...

Were it so easy.

Sounds good, this would definitely fit in with the storyline, so it would be a cool little thing for Reach, and I would like to see something like this, something thats not just a different gametype for a playlist, but a whole different thing.

One suggestion though, I think you should be able to board other ships in this also.

Map ideas:

Impact
It starts out in space then you all go crashing down to Reach because of some disturbance (or it could be like the covenant shoot down the UNSC team) and while you are falling, the ship is fine, the engines are just busted, so you have to fight off the covenant team until your engines get fixed.

Slipspace
Both teams race and fight to Reach.

i don't think it would be fun with small teams, maybe if there were like 20 on 20 then i might like it

  • 10.02.2009 12:50 PM PDT

Plekpedia - The most epic site in the history of ever.

I do not want Halo: Battlefront. Space battles would be cool, but not classes.

  • 10.02.2009 12:53 PM PDT

Fear my Pink Mist...

Yes it would be cool...
Like battlefront.
