Ever since I played Battlestations: Pacific it has me thinking on the possibility of a Halo game based on its concept. Battlestations: Pacific is a real time strategy game that allows you to switch between playing as a plane, ship or some island base all in real time. You can give orders and do many other things with all your units as well. All units can also react and act independently and can operate on their own. In concept it would work like this.
Planes = Fighters, boarding craft and dropships.
Navy Ships = Star ships
Naval Cannons, torpedoes, ect = MAC guns, pulse lasers, Archer missiles, Plasma Torpedoes and ect.
Bases = Planets, moons, or space stations or asteroids.
The controls would be more realistic. Rolling as in tilting left and right will be done by tilting the rights control stick left and right. Rudder movements will be on the left stick and are controlled by tilting the left stick left and right. In other words the controls would be more like actual planes. Emergency evasive action will work like how the Banshee does its flips and rolls and it will use similar controls for that.
Like in Battlestations: Pacific you can switch between playing as each unit in real time and direct orders like fix the ship, put out the fires, repair the guns or attack a certain unit. To see how it works please copy and see the links at the bottom of the article.
Weapons would have realistic combat ranges in space and calculations for accurate gunnery from ballistic computers will be used for MAC guns. The only issue now would be the unbalanced capabilities between the Covenant ships and the UNSC ships, in that the UNSC ships will be decimated most of the time.
Here are links to let you see how it works and please see them.
