I heard rumors of an ultimate map for halo 3 which would be big enough to support 100's of people. A new way to re-invent big team battle a 100 on 100 capture the flag. with a map the size of 50 coagulations. With huge mass transit vehichles that were abe to carry up to 20 people. and pellicans could be flown for transit. also it could be used for clan matches. kind of like a MMORPG. The Battle feild would have generals, luietenents, and other military rankings. and the generals could hand down the orders. It could encompass all the terraines possible or just one and the weather conditions would affect speed and vehichle usage.

I personaly find this rumor to be amazing and it should be incorperated into the upcoming game.

i think thats its way too hard to work into a game, that like itself would be the majority of the game and also live isnt strong enough to handle that many people

Generals, Sgts., etc. WTF!? we're playing halo, lets not turn it into something its not (WoW)

current high speed connections would die. Mass lag would occur. Wars would erupt. "This is how the World ends." 'nuff said.

If it were possible, yes, I would like a massive level. Many people have dreamed up similar maps (including myself, and most everyone) but lag would be horrible.

Of course, I could be wrong. Microsoft already has MMOFPS game genres lining up for the 360. It's a possibility, but I doubt it will happen with Halo 3.

i agree with the meber above me. we should have a big map, but not coagulation X 5. thats way too big. They should definetly have pelicans. Also they should have SHADOWS, the covenant car that carried the ghosts in campaign mode. i think they should bring those back.Also some water vehicles, vechicles that could cross water, no problem, that would be sick.

What You All Have To Remeber is that it is just a rumor. i dont agree with all the stuff but it would be nice to have pelicans, mass transit, and a huge map, maybe 32 on 32.

Yeah ok, hand down orders. Try going into a MM game and tell your team what to do. Most likely you will get a "Shut up noob." Now imagine saying that to 99 people. Other than that 100 would be way to much for a FPS. It is ok for mmorpg because the action is slow and boring compared to Halos fast and fierce combat. Take the lag from BTB and times it by 6.

Maybe 50 vs 50 on some kind of Super high speed dedicated server (If anyone can do it it's Microsoft).. You're idea with half the players.

  • 05.09.2006 3:28 PM PDT

v. big map: yes
50x Coagulation: no
v. big multiplayer: yes
100 on 100?: are you out of your mind?!! that would never work. cool idea, but in--blam!--possible.

  • 05.09.2006 3:31 PM PDT

maybe it could be like battle field. it works flawlessly for the 360 with 32 people on screen.
and in games like everquest they have hundreds in the same area at the same time so why not halo.
anybody who read thru these send me a friend request on Xbox live. it is the same name as my bungie one

i think... capture the flag is just... a terribly stupid idea =)


why not have giant maps, where the goal is to battle past smaller objectives, to reach a larger installation and bomb it...

but a bomb that destroys an entire structure and permanently disfigures the map in a big way.

the goal would be to destroy multiple structures on each teams side...

these could be parallel in structure like sidewinder, or more assault/defense based like zanibar.

i know this has been done, but it think it'd be cooler if, say there were multiple smaller installations forming a defense for a larger, ultimate goal.

bigger battles with larger and more complex objectives in mind rather than just one tiny installation,

battles that change drastically over time because of the destruction of the environments, ie the obliterated outpost collapses to become a make shift base camp for invaders, ie dilapitated foxhole.
\

imagine nuking an installation, only to have the rubble form and entirely different battlefield... that would be -blam!-in.

Why not just 16V16? It doubles Big Team Battle, and is easily done on many other games.

Or, they can be cooler, and do it 20 V 20 or something, maybe 25 V 25 just for kicks.

But 100 V 100?

Even 50 V 50 is way too much. You get some lag on plain BTB, let alone something 8 times the size of it.



[EDIT] Also, 50 times the size of Coag. is insane. INSANE. Maybe 2 coagulations, but never, ever, 50 coagulations.

There should be a tram that takes you across the battlefield but the tram will be above the arena, so you don't have have teammates crashing into each other when they're flying the pelicans, and when there's someone in the tram, you could use the rocket launcher to knock em out. im saying this, because there might be traffic when everybody is flying pelicans to other places, and every body would be gettin into accidents!

This would be an awesome game. Unfrotunatly, you're a few generations ahead of where we are now. Xbox360 isn't God you know. . .

No more than 32 players on Live. Even then, it will be a lag fest.

And definately still no more than 2 on co-op.

I agree. I don't think we'll break the hundreds point until a generation or two down the road. Think bout it. It WAS 16, now 32. Next gen will be 64 and next will be like 128 or something. Of course, i'll be dead by then.
