Kinda like what they got for the upcoming Bioshock 2 multiplayer where in between matches you are in your apartment walking around and interacting with stuff. Dirt 2 did something kinda like it where you can walk around your trailer and see the outside area before the race.

I'm not sure how exactly they would do it, just think it could add a new immersion level and depth to the game's mutliplayer component.

Maybe be on a UNSC cruiser, and you can walk around to a locker and select your armor. and there would be other stuff you could do, if you have an idea post it. And when yours ready to play you go and click on a UNSC ODST drop pod to enter a match. you could also walk around while they search for a match? and if your in a party you can see your friends in the room with you. it would be like halo 2 where they had little images for each stage of the search, but more interactive and it would make use of the new graphics engine bungie is making for the game.

Discuss?

I would love something like this. It'd really add to the immersion in the game, and I'm always big on RPG aspects of gameplay. I vote yes, plz. Bungie, can we haz interactive menu?

Thought of some new ideas for interactive items with in the environment.

Scoreboard...view stats from previous match
Computer terminal....view lifetime stats. i.e. total kills, metals, ect.
bed/cot/cryo tube...leave multiplayer. whenever you enter you "wake up" same spot
anyone got any other ideas?

Pretty sick idea. One of the best threads on these boards. I vote yes.

  • 10.23.2009 10:02 PM PDT

If I had any dignity, that might have been degrading.

how would you cliick? anyway, it would be cool, but cryo tube insted of cot, and you actually walk around it in first person. needs more potatos.

How would you actually walk around are cryo tube? It's barely big enough to move around in, let alone walk.

Yes, yes and more yes! That sounds like such a GREAT idea, kind of like how PDZ before you went into the fight you can walk around in that little room and pick up any weapons you wanted, except this will just be while you're waiting for your game just as a place to hangout in.

If they don't want to go too in depth like what you're suggesting I say they should make that Warthog Jump game, games like that, that you can play while you search for games. The Warthog Jump game was in the bonus dvd with the Limited Edition for Halo 3 lol...

If they include the warthog jump game I would start playing the game just for that.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

I would rather have more maps with the space that would take, but it would be a really fun feature.

The original BADFINGER! (the second)

NO

Why? you may ask?

In Halo 3 it already takes too long to load a map as is, so with the inclusion of this, it means you will be loading a map to load another map.... hope that makes sense.

And i would rather bungie commit all available Disk space to Large environments and nice visuals, and of course GAMEPLAY!

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Its a good idea but when you think about it, all of that takes up disk space. They should leave it as is.

*bleep bloop*

Achievement Unlocked: A waste of a human being.

Waste your time on a CoD game and reach a high prestige (10th or 15th).

What about a "breifing" where it has all the players in armor in a room getting breifed on the map,gametype, and you could opt to just be able to scroll through intel on other player stats (i.e. K/D, how they did last match, most used wep)

i really dont think it would take up that much disc space...the area would probably only by like the size of one of the bases on heretic.

no to mention the install feature would lower load times a lot

i like that idea, when you enter multiplayer it would open up and you would climb out! it would be cool if there were like 16 of them too where your friends would come out as they joined your party!

also a spot for the host to mess with custom game rules?

it would be kinda funny if your characters head was your avatar head in between games :)

it would be kinda cool if there were NPC's walking around working on "stuff" too.

this is not part of the multiplayer matches. its would replace the pregame lobby and maybe the post game lobby as well.

that would be cool and whoever made cot idea, HELLO! spartans are 1000 pound giants you think a cot would hold up one, make it a cryo tube and for going to matches, you need to go the bridge of your frigate and a armory/lab for changing armor
