I KNOW HALO IS NOT CALL OF DUTY

Edit: PLEASE POST WITH OPINIONS TO KEEP IT ALIVE ^_^

Longsword tactical strike pad

SPAWN AT START - NO <------ READ THIS

Respawn time - 3.5 Minutes

Classification - Power weapon

Small laptop that sits on the ground near UNSC scenery, Pick it up get to a safe location and call them in - All the sudden the roar of longswords is heard over head and it rains hell on a vast area of the map destroying most if not all enemy forces in the area

-EDIT You open it up and it displays a map similiar to that of ODST's Tactical map uplink, but you cant see enemies on it so you have to communicate
Example -
>C02 Can you get me a location on there warthog
>S39 Sure there coming around right base, about to cross paths with some of there own teamates
>C02 - ASFKLHASLDJ~

But get this. Theres no radar, no way to see them from the Data pad you have to use team communication to get kills with this baby!

Just a huge ass AOE explosive with a long respawn and 1 chance to shoot a chance that takes communication, timing, and skill.

And just a reminder because someone is bound to not notice it, you have to get it just like any other power weapon, not awarded through a Killing spree.

Think about it.

War never decides who is right; only who is left.

So its like a power weapon you pick up like any other gun? Then I think yes. The Covenant can have one, too.

exactly, its not given through sprees, just gotta secure the package and blow the other team to hell (if your team can cooperate)

I don't want to be in your group quit spamming me

that'd be pretty freakin sweet.

Maby we could also add a UAV and a pelican gunship to the airstrike feature. Maby stead aim perk and extrem cordination...

Sorry, I flamed before I read the OP. It acualy sounds pretty cool. But insdead of having it as a lapto you pick up it should be on a middle area of the map and have a laptop set up but you cant pick it up. Like when you open doors in standoff. A cotrol pannle like that.

But I dont know. The whole idea of haveing something else do you killing dose not seem halo. I think I am going to have to go back to my original post. I was distracted by the epic idea of seeing huge loud giant space planes come in low and fast. It would be inteanse but it belongs in campain.

Call of duty did not invent airstrikes or UAVs, i didnt say pelicans or perks, get out of your shell and be open to change.

edit - oh ahah ^^

Yes. But not like you said it.

Have it available from a control panel, hold RB to use it. A couple longswords fly overhead in a line inbetween bases (not able to be set), shoot it up a bit, leave. Have them show up on your radar as small blips (hey, they're really high up, what do you expect?)

  • 10.12.2009 7:16 PM PDT

-blam!- no ( I know you r expecting this)that basically is find a spot to hide and wait a bit plus imagine this you are waiting for your buddy in a warthog as he went to go grave the rocket and you here the scream of longswords coming and as you try to run youre buddy and you die and he is pist because you didnt save him then you go back and watch it was some n00b trying to get a perfection and he was just using a sniper and that nuisance of a weapon.to wrap it up and tell you what i was saying THAT IS THE BIGGEST AND CHEAPEST WEAPON IN THE HISTORY OF GAME KIND there i said and i know i am going to get a lot of frowny faces!!!!!!!!!!

  • 10.12.2009 7:21 PM PDT

Sounds interesting for big team games but maybe it should be a laser designator instead. Also maybe it should be more like a MAC blast cus it would at least give u some chance of survival.

I assume ammo will be EXTREMELY limited

stupider then the origanal thread but i hate this idea so much i am going to troll the blam out of it

I am the leader of the Halo Machinima team TEAMHALOSWAT, or THS for short. Make sure to visit www.teamhaloswat.blogspot.com for THS news.

it should be an equipment, a flare. when you pick it up, you can throw it with the equipment button, but you throw it like a grenade. whereever that flare lands is where that Carpet Bomb is going to blow the -BLAM!- out of. itd be awesome!

Your not very good at trolling, if you speak like a smart person with a IQ that isint less than that of broom, you can trick people into thinking your serious thus making them angrier.

1 shot 1 chance, 3.5 minute respawn (maybe longer) and it DOES NOT SPAWN AT START

That sounds workable. I like the idea of having it be set on map from the control panel though. It be nice to see them actually do something besides get shot out of the sky.

you do understand how powerful and how much larger a MAC blast is correct?

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

I read it all and no, I don't think Airstrikes have any place in Halo. If you want air support, get somebody in a Banshee.

So, I'm to assume you didn't mind that Bungie borrowed the horde gameplay style for firefight?

Gameplay needs to adapt and evolve, thats what this is about

Check out my deviantART page

Some things I like:
Video Games
Anime
Art

This would be a pretty cool idea for campaign, Big Team, and custom games. Seeing the LongSword fly overhead and carpet bomb the blam out of whatever you choose would be awesome! However I think the Tactical Airstrike Pad should be a piece of equipment instead of a weapon.
