Subject: New Halo Game: Halo: Frontlines

I'd love to see a Halo Wars like game with a twist that would be hard to pull off but i think it'd be pretty awesome.

Bassicly there would be two versions of the game:
Commander version, you play as the commander(like in Halo Wars)

(can't think of name), you play as the troops that commanders buy


So when you are playing the (can't think of name) version you'd play as if you were playing Halo 3, you'd go into matchmaking, maybe set preferences for what race you want to play as, and you'd find matches. Once you join a match you might have to wait a little while for your unit to be completely created. Then you'd spawn and play as whatever character the commander created. You'd also (when commanded) get waypoints in where to go and you could also hear the commander telling you what to do.

Talking to the commander:
If all the players talked at once it would get really hard for the commander to understand what's happening so I think the D- pad should have a no and a yes feature that would appear above your characters head that only the commander could see. Also you'd be able to send requests to talk with the commander, if the commander accepts then you get to talk to the commander until the commander closes the com.

Units:
Would be multiple init classes that most of you know about.
But units that consist of squads I think it'd be riduculous if the entire squad was made by actual players. So Fisher 321 gave me the idea of making squad leaders. So when you are playing as one of the units that consists of a squad you'd end up playing as the squad leader. It will be either hold the X button and press the directions on the D-pad to give orders or use the Natal to implement voice and hand commands. The squad leader would either be a tougher marine or an elite. If you died as a squad leader your teammates would either cower or flee from their enemies.


I'm going to update this post if this becomes popular. If you can think of a name please post it.
Thank Extreme Elite for name, now I only need one for the other version.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I'm always up for new Halo games and this one would be cool but they would need to make sure they got plenty of detail in there. Games like this leave out a lot.

And in terms of the strategy version... I hope it plays out way better than Halo Wars did. Halo Wars multiplayer plays NOTHING like a real Halo battle.

Honestly, you never see a squad of Grunts fighting a squad of Marines. There's always a Carpet Bomb or a raging Arbiter in the mix somewhere.

only a squad leader should be able to evaluate a situation and talk to the commander (captains leuitanents etc)... pretty decent idea, unique, but pretty good. i cant imagine this would be easy to pull off though... name idea Halo: Frontlines

i think it might be a interesting concept

Ha, thats the only thing they needed to add to Halo Wars. A way to play FPS, and a way to play RTS. The game Raven Squad has this, though you only control you squad. I wouldn't like this too much as a brand new game, rather too a download for Halo Wars.

The men and women over at Robot are doing nothing for Halo Wars now. Maybe they're making Halo Wars 2, but they left Halo Wars out to dry.

They do not even fix glitches anymore. Glitches in RTS games are HUGE.

A download for halo wars? That would never work.

I think this would make it cool because actual players would be your troops and you'd have to rely on them.

How about its 8 on 8. And if your the Humans you are a Spartan and Command 4 other marines. And you get to order them where to move, flank ect.

And if you play as the Covenant then you Start as a Elite/Brute and command grunts/jackels/ ect.

But for Example you can choose an Assualt team. You as the Spartan/Elite/Brute with 4 marines/8 grunts.

You get the idea with squads that could include hunters for AT, Jackels sniping ect.

But Your still in the Fray fighting in First person.

How about Infantry mode?

By the way love the idea keep up the good work. Trying making some concept art or even some BOX ART that always gets the community involved.

I'll try do you or anyone else know of an editor free of charge and viruses.

Edit: No, infantry won't work because of vehicles.
