All right, I’m going to attempt to help you out on some cards and stuff, I’m going to waste my time… I mean… type a lot but please just read it. As a fan of TCG’s I think this might help. Played Yu-Gi-Oh like it was my life so hear me out. NOTE: This WILL NOT exactly copy the Xbox or computer game, because it needs to be fair.
Chapter 1 (lol): Character Cards.
Instead of just Red Sniper, why not just make a Master Chief, and possibly make like 3 or 4 different versions of him, but make them all different.
NOTE: Not every thing has to be real like, make some stuff up!!!
Taking from Pokémon, give the guys health or something like that. Possibly make a Cortana, Flood characters (for each different looking one), The Black Guy, I don’t know his name all ways called him the black guy, no I’m not racist. But don’t make health too high. Forget Cortana, she won’t do much anyway.
Spartan 117: 450 HP 200 Shield <------ MC's basic form, noting special.
Elite: 400 HP 350 Shield
Grunt: 200 HP 0 Shield
Jackal: 350 HP 0 Shield
Flood No Head: 700 HP 0 Shield
Flood Head: 650 HP 0 Shield
Flood Carrier: 500 HP 0 Shield
Black Guy: 375 HP 0 Shield
Captain Keyes: 375 HP 0 Shield
Marine: 350 HP 0 Shield
Hunter: 1000 HP 0 Shield
Little Flood Things: 10 HP 0 Shield <------ They come in Bunches
MC: Flood: 1050 HP 0Shield
MC: Marc 6: 700 HP 500Shield <------ H2 MC
Master Chief: 500 HP 250 Shield <------ The MC we know of from H1
A rough sketch of the people’s HP (Hit Points) and their Shield. The Little Flood Things have low HP but they can swarm, like make an x20 or something and like with a punch, 1 would die, and there are 19 left on the card. The basic Melee dmg is 15. So if you don’t have any wpns to equip then at least you can still beat the crap out of them.
Chapter 2: Equipment cards
Make all the weapons an equipment card. And all characters have like 25 dmg when no wpn is equipped, like punching them or something. Now I'm going to give you a chart of the weapons and the damage that they cause. (I’m like doing this for you, my god.)
M6D Pistol: 30 dmg
MA5B Assault Rifle: 40 dmg
M90 Shotgun: 60 dmg
S2 AM Sniper Rifle: 200 dmg
M19 SSM Rocket Launcher: 450 dmg
Plasma Rifle: 35 dmg
Plasma Pistol: 25 dmg
Needler: 20 dmg
Fuel Rod Gun: 350 dmg
And If a Covenant uses a Plasma gun or Needler, it gains 15 Str, same thing with Humans. With the Flood, they get a bonus for both but its only 10 not 15, and MC by himself gets an extra 5 so when he wields human wpns he gets a 20 bonus.
Chapter 3: Special Attributes
Without this people would cheat on the bonus STR stuff, so make the marines have a Human Symbol in a corner of the card. Same with the Covenant and the Flood.
Chapter 4: Items
Grenades are the main "sneak attack" way of Halo, more of a boom surprise type thing, but you cant live with them (Suicide) and can't live without them. So Grenade stats.
M9 HE-DP Grenade: Full Damage: 300 Half Damage: DUH
Plasma Grenade: Full Damage: 500 Half Damage: DUH
Needler Nade: Full Damage: 250 Half Damage: DUH
What we do is not to be cheap about grenades being so HOLY POOPSTAIN OWNAGE is the half damage. Toss a coin, is called right full damage received, if called wrong, what do you think, half damage. If it kills you in 1 hit, half damage or not, screw the coin toss, your dead anyway, live with the fact your 1337 grunt got owned. (I’m going to take up the entire character limit my god)
Chapter 5: Special Weapons
Special Weapons, like turrets and camo and over shield and camo.
Well, we have the Shade.
Shade (Stationary Gun) put a person in it, and it will automatically give them a 200 Shield and its damage will be maxed out at 40, next time you attack with it. Just make it lose 10 more attack each time.
Over Shield: To the person who equips this to a character, it gives that character a 400 Shield Bonus.
Active Camo: Can save a character about to die, and remove him from play for 3 turns. (End your turn, his turn back to you, that’s 1 turn)
Health Pack: When Used it recovers the character, up to HP on card, 300 HP.
Alright, now that we got the complicated stuff out of the way, time for the pat where we make up the game rules.
Game Rules:
Limited Cards: As we all know, if there was no card limit, people would just have all grenades in their deck and it would suck because you just wouldn’t win.
Every single card has a limit of 4 per deck, only 4 and that’s it.
A Deck has a 50 Card Minimum. Anything from 51 and up is acceptable.
The Object of the Game: The object of the game is to deplete your foe’s RPTS (Recruitment Points) Kind of corny but it’s the best I can think of, give me a break, I typed this in like 4 hrs. Anyway, you get 1000 RPTS and when a character dies it has a RPT Value somewhere on the card (spot undetermined) and that comes out of your RPTS. Once you reach 0 RPTS then you lose.
The game is turn based, you draw 5 cards when the match first starts, and roll a die, flip a coin etc. etc. to see who goes first. Whoever goes first draws one card from atop of his/her deck and begins the play from there.
Turn Order: When your turn first starts you draw a card. Then you can play up to 2 character cards on the field (a maximum of 8) and then your equipment phase starts, you can now put weapons on your character. NOTE: Only 2 weapons can be put onto a character, if you want a different wpn on your character, you must discard one card. Then your Offensive phase starts, where you can choose to attack your opponent (Only 1 attack per character.) your attack has to be targeted toward an opponent character, if they have one. NOTE: If you are the first to go, you may NOT attack your opponent, unless a card is played to specify. Also note that if you do not kill the character you attacked, that character returns fire upon you and if it kills you, your fault. Next comes your Items phase, where you can heal your characters or do whatever.
That’s all I have for now, but you get the picture, also may want to add a card about taking cards from your discard pile and re-shuffle them into your deck, and other cards that will affect the game play into your favor. These are just my ideas. Enjoy, and Thanks so much for reading all of this.
And you cant have vehicles, its just insane to mange that into a card, i mean i was having trouble trying to create the freakin shade. Hope this helps!!!
