iv had an idea where in the main menu along with forge and theater (if they make a return) there could be a "planet search" of some sort where you go into it and drive a longsword or a ship along those lines to a planet maybe where your friends are (maybe could be invited) and once you get there its just everyone that has chosen to be on that planet all running around without guns and there can be sections like a country for team slayer a country for MLG ect ect and you have to go to that country (solo or co-op) by warthog, hornet, boat and w.e then when you get there it sends you into a search of people that wanna play that gametype.

i think this is a good idea because it would give bnugie a HUGE amount of gametypes to create and just to mess around wih.


*i dont know any of the tech rules about this or anything (lag etc) so if someone could spread some light on it i would appreciate it.

EDIT: the planets could be the gametypes as there probably arent that many gametypes possible.

Worst idea ever...http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8664824

Sounds like an MMORPG. I don't think it would work with the Halo gameplay style.

maybe but i just thought it would be a cooler way to meet people and meet up with friends then the halo 3 system.

Ya maybe. But it would require a MASSIVE disc to hold all the data of each planet, even though they obviously wouldn't be making the entire planet, just very small portions. I like the current method of matchmaking.

Longswords don't have Slip Space Generators. It would be weeks, even years before you get to them. Even with a slip Space Generator, a Human Ship would take weeks (Slipspace is not instantaneous, well, except for Forerunners).

Anyways, it would lag way too much.

Ya great idea! Let's also add unicorns, candy canes and gingerbread houses.

They've already said this won't be an MMOFPS. Although it is an interesting concept. It would take the current functionality of the UI and make it more graphically pleasing. Perhaps you could host your own planet, and depending on what map you pick it's a different one ?

Yeah. I mean if I want to play SWAT or Lone Wolves I don't want to have to take a spaceship and travel there. I just want to play it.
