Ok, I was watching my bro play Halo on his Mac today. Then it suddenly hit me, wouldnt halo make a wicked Massive Multiplayer game?!?!? Well, my opintion alone is worthless so i wanna see what other people think, and if anyone from Bungie takes a look at this e-mail me at studentd34@yahoo.com and lemme know what you think.

(Mac user all the way!!!)

Becuase Halo is a first person shooter.

First of all, Massively Multiplayer games can't have awesome stories.
Second of all, MSTeFhdR3CHEF897, you can edit your post.

I don't know about that - Eve (www.eve-online.com) is pretty impressive...

Still, I don't think it suit the halo universe.

If Bungie dedicated their time specifically to creating a game like this within the Halo universe, it'd be quite nice

I suppose it depends on how it was done - you could allow the player to pilot ships, or explore worlds as a soldier, but it would be difficult to do both.

The hardest part would be to set up the fighting - do you let some players be convenant, some marines? Do you let marine vs marine and covenant vs covenant? What kind of computer based opponent would there be? How would the fighting be implemented (it would be a nightmare to implement a FPS)? How would the players advance (go up levels, get equipment, gain access to areas)?

It would be great if done well, but very hard to design and implement.

I think that this would be a great idea, but it wouldn't work. The story line would never allow for it. What are you going to do? Be a marine or a spartan? Covie or human? It wouldn't be a real RPG because you would have to fight as a team, and you wouldnt be able to do whatever you want. Sure you can go wherever you want, but there are probably going to be limitations that would keep it from being a great game.
