Subject: New game mode ideas for Halo 4?

I was wondering about any game modes anybody would like to see in Halo 4's multiplayer. Here's my idea:

BlastBall- It's a Blast!

The game would play similar to football; just a bit more violent: One team is attacking and one team is defending. The attacking team start out with a bomb and have to carry it as far up the field as possible without being killed. The defending team's job is to kill attackers and defend the bomb from being retaken when it is dropped. Attackers will be alerted when the bomb falls and then have 10 seconds for one of them to pick it up and continue their team's run. If the bomb isn't picked up, it detonates and ends the round.

The field will be marked with 20 lines: 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950 and 1000. The team's score at the end of the round would be determined by how far the team carried the bomb in their round attacking. So, if the Red Team took the bomb to the 600 line and didn't get any further, then the Red Team would score 600 points that round. No points are given to the defenders when defending. The game last 3 rounds and the team that has the most points after those 3 rounds wins.

WEAPONS
-------

Weapons would be the same as in Grifball; Gravity Hammers and Energy Swords. Since this is a close quarters game, other weapons won't be needed.


So, let discussion commence!

a version of forge where you play as sentinels

If they don't have a Firefight mode where you fight waves of Flood, I'll freak the -blam!- out. I've been waiting for that since Halo 2...

We should know better, because we are better.

This does not belong here. All Halo 4 gameplay discussion belongs in Halo Waypoint.

Sabre fight in space or invasion tweaked and with more players (10v10).

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

Just play the library without pushing forward too often.

wat about
In-game credit system, you get credits for killing enemies,
then you can use those credits to call in for Marine reinforcements, ODST drops, Weapon drops, and even vehicle transports

That seems like an awesome idea. Sometimes I wish you could do with something like that whilst playing on legendary...

Only in Firefight and maybe Campaign.

Grunt Slayer. Needlers, plasma pistols, fuelrod guns, and plasma grenades. Hold down a button to do grunt suicide runs with grenades. The maps would have to be kind of small since grunts move kind of slow.

Nice. Taking your idea, how about an invasion-style game that's spartans vs covenant where you attempt to capture the entire enemy fleet in teams? More of the fleet could be opened up to the teams as they capture the other ships and finally leading to the ability to capture the flagship and win the game.

Bro, Star wars Battlefront beat you to it. So didBattlefield 2142 wit Titan mode, which is kind of like BTB territories with the main goal of taking down the enemy Titan. Look it up on youtube, it's a pretty cool idea.
Anyway, I'd like Invasion 2.0 and Forge 3.0, and Theatre 3.0. Invasion was well-done, yet was limited in scope to a combination of Assault, territories, and CTF. I would have liked more gametypes to be available in invasion. Although they're way more complicated to Forge than regular 1 obj maps, they're worth it.
