Speaking of chuckles, let's all lol at IonicPaul, who makes friends with bugs to make up for his lack of human contact.

I'd be all for it, though I generally have little faith in petitions; especially forum ones.

I'm always looking for laid back gamers that want play some halo, COD, or any other shooter. If you want to hang and play some video games. Message me on XBL or Bungie.net or you can send me a friend request. :D

Yeah this sounds good. :D

they tend to work when they A have over 1000 votes, or B when they are on the hot-topic list.

nobody noticed, but the thread regarding the "perfect map" idea with the assult/slayer in one game, yeah, bungie made that into breakpoint invasion.

For one, completely agree. Sandtrap was my tie for third favorite map, second favorite BASE map (sandbox first, and foundry second because of how many things you could do with it). Now, this is my position on choppers. I think many people would just take it as a taunt if they didn't put it in, because in my opinion, the multiple choppers were the best part of the map. Choppers can destroy banshees, but not easily, they can be killed by a single foot soldier, but can also slaughter easily if the driver is good, and they can splatter vehicles. In my opinion, of course, i would say that the chopper needed a ton of skill to be good, but if the driver IS good, can be one of the best vehicles in the game because of its unique aspects. I'd be completely ok with the revenant being a replacement, but for one, the main gun is WAY too powerful for that, and for two, it can't splatter vehicles. You may say these would balance out, but it still wouldn't feel the same.

Please quote an example of this. And one of the scale of a new map. Because yes, there've been changes based on popular demand (armor lock class in Elite Slayer, DMR clip size from the beta), but those are minor in comparison with a new map, which takes months to plan, put together, playtest, and release.

So even if we do inspire Bungie to do something like this, we likely won't see the fruits of our labors (labors = pleading to Bungie) until several months from now, if at all.

very well said. i may add to the chopper idea on suggestions page.

I like how everybody is giving good ideas and feedback. I have yet to see flaming or hate. I like the way this is going, we may have a successful thread on our hands.

my example is:

Poll [17011 votes]: Would you like this new game mode

even though their exact idea wasnt used, look at this :
breakpoint: fits all categories of gameplay. air vehicles, close quarters, long range, good for heavy/land vehicles.

look at the invasion variant it has:

starts out as slayer, or invasion: then goes to assault: then goes to CTF (or capture the core)

ALL OF WHICH are ideas made in the exact thread i am talking about.

nobody notices this because it isnt noticeable unless you think about it.

hope that helps you understand.

i know i was actually surprised at all the positive feedback i received in the replies.

that being said, i did stop some possible arguments myself by accomidating to others needs in terms of editing and punctuation etc...

im just glad it worked out.

Just a friendly reminder here... might not want to triple post, etc, because Bungie might mistake it for bumping and give this thread the lock...

Sandtrap was the best Halo map ever. Please remake this map Bungie

the old concept is seemingly even better and more fitting for reach than the one we know.

but i would be happy either way. thanks for the feedback!
