Looking to hook up with some competent players! Please PM me if you want a decent team mate, looking to learn from good players and impart what I know to the team too. Im sick of going 'randy' and getting betrayed for the sniper etc.. and having to put up with BK team mates
This thread has evolved quite a bit since its inception, if you can't be bothered reading it I would suggest reading EDIT 3 first perhaps,
Imagine this...
Fighting against rogue spartans that have been 'brain hacked' by the Covenant to fight against humanity. They can use all types of human weapons, drive human vehicles, jump, fight and behave just like human players. It would be a campaign with a multiplay feel. I reckon it would be a great idea however it might be difficult to implement from a technical perspective. These rogue spartans could be supporting the existing covenant species and adding to the overall experience.
And/or
What about a firefight with varying difficulties of spartan bots, it would be like Matchmaking without the lag. You could start with a mixture of sargeants and leiutenants, then it gets harder with captains and majors etc.. finally in the last few rounds your Versing Brigadiers and Generals? This could be coop or through a matchmaking like senario.
I know many of you will say, "well why don't you just play MM?" True but not everyone has live? And a firefight concept is very different to MM.
I remember Quake III arena was a 'colleseum' based multiplayer/campaign experience and it worked quite well. So did Perfect Dark Zero and Perfect Dark N64
Might be a crazy idea and frankly it may not even be possible, what do you think?
EDIT 1: I would call on any bungie employee thats eye may catch my thread, what do you think? Will you hurriedly put my idea in the archive of 'thingz inspired by community to try' or will you laugh heartily at my feeble attempt to inspire some semblance of contemporary relevance into your creative sphere for future moderation??...Um what did I just say???
EDIT 2: Would you prefer if I changed the whole concept of 'Brain Hacked' spartans to something a little more palatable? Perhaps to brain washed, hypnotised, re-engineered conscienceness, impostors or even evil robot spartans? Please offer suggestions since Ive got it so wrong!
To quash the unbeliever!
If its possible to hypnotize and mind alter humans in this day and age (look it up) then how much more will it be possible in the future? The covenant are technologically advanced moreso than the human race, doesn't it make sense that they may have such capabilities also?
Perhaps the covenant need not resort to such things? Perhaps they can create there own breed of 'spartan'. I guess the elites are perhaps the answer to this, however they don't behave like spartans exactly. Besides haven't they fallen out with the covenant anyway?
Many battles have been won in the past by using the ideas that have worked in other battles by ones enemy or allies, or even by mimicing/counteracting the enemy. Wouldn't you think the covenant might think and I can just imagine a scaly alien looking over to his brute counterpart as he chomps down a worm burger, saying "Hmmmm what are we going to do about that spartan 117, he's kinda always kicking our ass's all the time, perhaps we create a breed of warrior that will match his skill and ingenuity, maybe then we will prevail?"
Why wouldn't the covenant change their battle plans? Are they really that predictable and stupid, that they would never adapt to their predicament?
EDIT 3

isnt that kinda the storyline for RvB: reconstruction?
I have no idea but you have given me an idea!!
Imagine having a game based on the RED VS BLUE franchise, RED VS BLUE came from Halo, has incited the commitment and cult following of many for the Halo franchise. Has possibly even lead people to purchasing Halo and to B.net? Why wouldn't bungie create a game around the RED VS BLUE concept, where its all about fighting other spartans? Some of you think its absurd to have spartans Vs spartans? Well whats with multiplayer then? Why couldn't bungie engineer a game around that pretext? AI spartans in a campaign with varying degree's of difficulty, a storyline that diverts from a regular campaign approach to a team or squad based skirmish!
Lets set the scene your ______ insert name a spartan recruit at 'spartan school' (Or wha eva it is)the story gravitates around you and your friends in the spartan training program,your in a 'guild' that gets matched up against other guilds all trying to get the prize for being the best spartan soldiers in the UNSC. It starts with a FFA perhaps, where you must prove yourself worthy of a certain placement in the team, either as support or rifleman etc.. The campaign could showcase each mode of the Halo multiplayer experience such as capture the flag, odd ball, one bomb what ever you can think of. You could play single player with your team made up of Bots as well as your opponents being bots or coop four or more against Bots. Of course the Bots could be set from easy -- Legenday. You could even have a seperate mode for strictly multiplay with Matchmaking and Custom games. I believe this would be a refreshing tangent to take. It would be cool if a bungie employee actually saw my ideas and commented on them, wether its critisized or commended I care not... Well ok commended would be better... but don't you see where Im going community? You can't say that it wouldn't be fun to play, A Halo game entirely made around a strictly skirmish based idea. Most don't play Halo for the campaign, they play it for the multiplayer experience after all.
