just tossing out ideas here, whole different gametype, or maybe bungie could make a seperate disk/game just for this multiplayer game: 'frontlines' or if you have any better Ideas for a name, please do tell!
BASICS:
It would be a covy versus UNSC online match, one team covy other team UNSC, at the start of the game you get 20 seconds to choose your class and customise your apperance, then if your covenant your suddenly in a covy dropship about to be dropped off by your phantom/or covy drop ship from Halo 1 CE, if UNSC about to be dropped off by your pelican, (both first person veiws from inside your drop ship, with your team, you can look around so you can see what classes you're team have chosen while your being taken to your location) you can't see out the dropship because the ramp is closed, or phantom doors are closed, then the doors go down and you climb out, (from then you just spawn after death) you can now move shoot E.C.T, the game would be team slayer, first to 100 points/kills wins the round, then theres a second round (if were COVY now ur UNSC, or if were UNSC ur now COVY and its the same as the start of the game were your dropped off in your dropship, cept now its the other dropship and now your being dropped off the side your opponents were the last round) next round same thing, first to 100, if both teams win a round, then theres an end match type thing, were you stay on your team but you can pick from UNSC OR COVY and you just spawn on wich ever side you were on last round (your not dropped off, because if teams were a mix of covy and unsc wich dropship would drop off wich side, it'd get confusing lol) then theres one last round of team slayer first to 100 points.
so to sum it all up: (2-3 rounds) 15v15 but only 24 actual players, the rest are bots that play as grunts or marines, as not many people would pick them, the covenant you can pick from:
COVENANT:
Jackal-SNIPER
Brute-HEAVY/DEMOLITION
Elite-ASSULT FORCE
Grunt-SOILDER-infinite grenades (but 4 seconds before each lob)
UNSC you pick from:
Marine sharpshooter-SNIPER
ODST-HEAVY/DEMOLITION
Spartan-ASSULT FORCE
Marine-SOILDER-infinite grenades (but 4 seconds before each lob)
WEAPONS AND PERKS:
JACKAL-beam rifle
BRUTE-mauler and brute shot
ELITE-plasma rifle (would be as powerful as assult rifle)
GRUNT-plasma pistol and plasma grenades
MARINE Sharpshooter-SNIPER RIFLE (lol durr)
ODST-shotgun-Grenade launcher (new weapon)
Spartan-assult rifle
Marine-SMG and frag grenades
MAPS:
Black Stone- A huge desert of grey rock, in a huge canyon, set at night time, with a foreunner base one side and another forerunner base the other, (INbetween is a huge rocky desert with rocks as cover and various sniper spots) (concept art soon) humans are dropped off (like explained) just outside their base, and the covenant are dropped off just outside theirs, both bases are the same exept the covys has:
2 (armable) shade turrets defending the base
2 wraiths
2banshees
1chopper
and the humans have
2 (armable) machine gun turrets
1 scorpian
2 average jeeps
1hornet
all vehicles spawn once at the start of each round, to encourage face to face combat and use of class.
(SAME FOR ALL MAPS)
no weapons on maps, just grenades, invisibility and oversheild also picking up weapons isn't possible, other wise choosing a class would seem pointless, also would be a waste of animation if everything could use every weapon, also the UNSC can't use covenant vehicles (exept spartans and ODSTs) and Covs can't use UNSC vehicles (exept EliTes and brutes) only elites and spartans can board.
APPERANCE:
BRUTES- halo 2/ halo wars armour, (TRIBAL) OR halo 3's
more intelligent look, (BERSERKER)(the blue armoured ones, not the gold) ( plus neither have sheild, only spartans and elites)
JACKALS-the sniper helmet from halo 3 (SHIFTER) or the halo 1 CE helmet (ASSASIN)
ELITES-halo 3 combat armour (COMBAT) or the honour guard armour from halo 2 (HONOUR GUARD)
GRUNTS-average halo 3-2 and 1 armour (TANKER) or the armour that the suicide grunts wear,(BARREL) (dosn't mean you can actually self destruct lol)
UNSC:
SHARPSHOOTER-average marine helmet from halo 3 (UNSC) sniper helmet, with scopes and things on it (SCOPER)
ODST- halo 3 ODST armour from the rookie (ROOKIE) OR dutches armour (DUTCH)
SPARTAN- halo 1 armour (MARK V) halo 2 and 3 armour (MARK V1)
MARINE-average halo 3 armour (UNSC) pillar of autumn marine armour (halo 1 marine armour) (PILLAR OF AUTUMN)
the 6 bots (3 grunts for cov and 3 marines for UNSC) have 2 (UNSC) armoured marines and 1 (PILLAR OF AUTUMN) armoured marine and the grunts have 2 (TANKER) grunts and 1 (BARREL) grunt. and yes, you can still choose symbols.
THE MAGIC D-PAD APP
when in gameplay if you click up on the D-PAD a menu will come up with icons to pick from you pick one then were your aiming that Icon will appear on your teams screen when they turn on their 'Tactical veiwer' (tell you abou that in a bit)
the menu lets you pick from an icon with a picture of a:
JEEP (indicating you found a decent vehicle anyone could use)
EXPLANATION MARK (indicating theres something important)
SOS (indicating you need urgent help, or your pinned down, or look at someone in the distance who needs help and place it there)
your team can see your (or you can see your teams) icons/waypoints they've or you've placed by clicking DOWN arrow wich activates 'tactical vision' showing all your teams waypoints, or turn it off by clicking it again, you cannot see your enemies waypoints. Also you can only place one waypoint at a time, once your next one is placed the old one dissapears
LAST BUT NOT LEAST:
when you pick up camo or oversheild (hidden around maps) you don't automatically use it, once you've picked it up you click X to activate it, so you can pick up camo get to the enemy base, then turn it on as you enter, as a pose to getting it and it running out as you approach and then being shot to peices, also the same with oversheild, so you can be in mid battle, see some wraith bullet fly towards you and quickly activate it, or even look usless so a team of enemie surround you, then activate it and watch their faces drop.
I only came up with one map, please MAP IDEAS PEPOPLE (if in door map then teams can just spawn) =] I'm eager to hear critisicm ideas or complements, also any more map ideas? or name ideas? any idea's, try to keep them with in reason =P thanks for reading
