Greetings,

It's that time again to post the suggestion that Bungie should include a similar version of the "Grinder" mode seen in MECH ASSAULT.

An Assault/Grinder mode for multiplayer would be an excellent replacement for BOTS/SIMS for those who don't have access to XBox Live.

Think of it - 1 life, two to four players...HOW LONG CAN EACH LAST against an onslaught of Covenant forces. An endless wave of Covenant forces with all the vehicles and weapons for use...BUT ONLY ONE CHANCE TO DO IT.

Of course, multiplayer in HALO 2 has to be beefed up from the original HALO, so it should now also feature EXTENSIVE STAT TRACKING.

Confirmed Kills, Headshots, Weapon of Choice, Battle Time, etc. Maybe even a "Medal" system of some sort.

Basically, throwing together an Assault mode for multiplayer would be a lot easier to code for than programming BOTS and SIMS - yet it would still get the same bad ass FUN FACTOR.

So, in short...

PLEASE INCLUDE A "GRINDER" MODE FOR HALO 2 MULTIPLAYER!!!
PLEASE INCLUDE A "GRINDER" MODE FOR HALO 2 MULTIPLAYER!!!
PLEASE INCLUDE A "GRINDER" MODE FOR HALO 2 MULTIPLAYER!!!

It sounds all right for a last resort, but I'm sure everyone would much rather control the number of opponents.

This is an amazing idea! And I thought HALO multiplayer had long legs! This makes HALO 2 have the longest life cycle of any game of all-time!

Imagine how big this would be across college campuses and gaming communities!

WITH STAT TRACKING TO BOOT! WOO HOO! :-)

Err, your poll is a bit one-sided. ;-)

Anyways, I'd love a grinder mode. Something that fun just shouldn't be left out of Halo 2.

I had the exact same idea after I played Mechassault for the first time, it would be cool if Bungie put that in.

Through war we will teach your heresy.
Through battle we will teach your frailty.
Through death we will teach your fate.

...isn't that kinda like the single player mode? just without a mission objective?

Ummm...No. In single player mode, there isn't endless wave after wave of covenant.

This sounds pretty cool. They feature this mode in Max Payne 2, and it is fun. In Halo 2 it would just kick a$$ with many people.

Nice idea!

Twelve Large ²

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

..So how boring will this grinder mode be before we get to the good stuff?

I'd be cool if you could as use a few warthogs. You know have 2-3 snipers at the base while 2-3 warthogs attack the covie forces. I'd be pretty cool if the covies eventually started using vechs against you. This is like everything I ever wanted in a game... a huge freaking of DOOM!, with the death count in the billions, on the covie side of course.

Ya one sided poll buddy, but i like it, i already mentioned a Survival type mode, where you have to defend your base against wave after wave of Covenant, eventually it should get harder the longer u last. They should also come from every side, a type of Blood Gulch map but with just one of the bases in the middle, Covenant forces coming from every side.
