I've always been thinking about this being a playlist but it's an incredibly farfetched idea... so here it goes.

In the Halo: Reach multiplayer you will find your basics like Lone Wolves and Team Slayer, but also you will see a playlist called Battle For Reach sitting in the social catagory.

Basically, depending on your race (Human, Elite, Brute, Flood (( MORE ON THAT SOON, CHECK POST SOON TO COME )) ) You will start at specific points of the planet Reach . You will be combining tactics used in slayer, assault, capture the flag, juggernaut, EVERYTHING to conquer the planet for your race, or just for fun.

Exp. will not be gained but all stats will count. After the planet has been conquered, the world will reset and the battle will begin again.


Think of it as a WoW for Halo, but just for Halo. It could be fun, unique, and funny as hell to see the things that could come from it.

What are your ideas?

So... like Galactic Conquest from Battlefront? If they can reduce lag (lol, good luck) then it could be sweet.

We got Jackals in the courtyard!

that's an awesome idea! i think it would be extremely fun if executed properly. I also would like to see games lasting around 30 minutes. I don't like the short games. I love in social big team Multi Flag CTF on Avalanche because the game lasts the full 20 minutes sometimes. its awesome when that happens.

long epic battles for a planet with vehicles and so on could be really sweet.

Its not a timed thing... its an ongoing stream that you could jump into or out of at any time.

Its easier for Bungie to create a new intellectual property for this style of gameplay than to try to adapt Halo to work with it.

Simply put, when they were designing the Covenant and the Human forces, they didn't balance them from a class based perspective.

It sounds epic. It would have to be joinable mid-way through the game as people would quit in a long game like that.

It could be a jump in jump out thing until its over then it just resets... maybe have an achievement for participating in one round. (Meaning contributing to a race's domination.)
