Subject: Halo Reach > Halo 4 ODST Drop Pod Invasion Idea!

If you have played Section 8 Prejudice or if you have seen StarHawk then you would notice the re spawn options. In both of the games you can come down from the sky/orbit and land on other players. I was thinking that it would be cool if there was a gametype for the next halo games. Bungie could use this idea for their next games. For halo it would be cool if you would play original invasion as ODST and Elites. I think it would be awesome if your playing as an ODST and you can spawn in a drop pod. You will land somewhat fast. If you land on someone they will die. Once you land and if some one is in closely in front of your pod while you exit they will die. They will die due to your pods door opening and flying out. The pods could be destructible. They can be shot down from the air by weapon fire. You would have to take a lot of damage to be killed while falling. If you do die in the air, you would explode and parts of the pod would scatter. I also think that once they land they can be used as cover. But they can take damage and they would eventually catch fire/smoke and explode. Yes I have taken some inspiration from Goats thread and other games. Please do not go around saying I am copying. I am taking responsibility of any previous confusion. Please be nice and give some feedback! oh and dont troll or flame. And if you have any questions please state what you would like to be answered and or why you are confused about something. I know this is MOST LIKELY not going to be in Halo 4. Its just an idea. This is NOT a fact. So please dong get your hopes up for this in halo 4. (this isnt cannon to halo 4's plot)

Sounds stupid IMO. Works better for Section 8 Alone IMO (I played Section 8, Not Prejudice BTW.). And another Bungie Halo game? Not gonna happen.

  • 12.24.2011 5:06 PM PDT

Jeez. You don't have to be a -blam!- about it. I wasn't saying that bungie is making another halo game! I thought that bungie could use a spawning system like this too for their next game on any console or hand held. Anyway I just thought that it could be fun, if there was a more interactive spawning system in invasion. It was just an idea I'm not declaring it. I think it would be nice If there was something like it in halo 4. I think 343 could pull it off. In Section 8 Prejudice the spawning system is quick and smooth and thats what it could be like.

Sounds fun too me. Only u copied the idea

  • 12.24.2011 6:06 PM PDT

sounds fun and all but what happens if it takes too much damage in the air, you just die? and what if youre up a really good team and all they do is shoot you down before you can land, what do you do then? when you can answer those questions then your idea will become better

  • 12.24.2011 6:25 PM PDT

I didn't copy the idea from Goats thread. Goat is thinking of a forge map for reach. Im thinking that for the next game it could be fun if there was an invasion gametype with drop pods. And for the drop pods to be shot down it would take a lot of damage. More than one person would have to be shooting at it. If you die in the air I am thinking that you would explode and pieces of the drop pod would go flying along with your body. Maybe it could be somewhat movable so you could dodge lasers and rockets. I suggest watching a section 8 gameplay first before commenting so you can get a feel of what I'm saying.

Halo 4 ODST Drop Pod?
What?

  • 12.26.2011 5:07 PM PDT

. . . In halo 4, if there is an invasion gametype I think it would be cool if there was some type of spartans/odst vs elites/ new enemys. The spartans could spawn in drop pods into the fight. CAN YOU GUYS READ THE DAMN POST 2 TIMES IF YOU DONT GET IT? STOP ASKING (WHAT?)

More details above ^

Yeah I read you're invasion idea and I thought it was good, but you're getting extremely butthurt because people are asking questions or making statements. Thats why I dont think you belong on the forums.

I <3 Halo: CE - started it all

Prepare to be dissapointed with Halo 4, if you think a brand new company with new employees are going to be making an AAA game, with all these amazing features that Bungie/almost every gaming developer can't even pull of correctly.

Most of the people who work for 343i are actually ex-Bungie workers.

Only 3 ex Bungie Employee's work at 343. Frankie, Shishka, and an artist IIRC.

Do some research next time.

come on guys dont bite eachothers heads off,
1) yes he copied the idea
2) Ex-bungie employees will be working on halo 4 and
3) There is so many flaws with the idea and it is near impossible to make, especially just for one gametype that next to no-one will play online

Im sorry if I was being a bit frustrated. I did not mean to come across in such a hostile manner. I just felt that no one was reading my post and that people arent staying on topic and giving me good feedback on what they dont understand. And I already stated that I got the idea from Section 8 and goats thread. I'm not trying to take credit I think that they have great Ideas and I like to express my views on them and expand on the idea.

Yeah, 3 employees from Bungie.

...and the 2 that we all know? Frankie, the ex-community manager, and Shishka, the Matchmaking engineer who made Matchmaking work, and what playlist/gametypes we would have.

And guess what? Hundreds of people work at 343. You think those 3 people are going to decide the whole fate of the company, and pull off all those amazing ideas you guys have? Im sure the campaigns storyline will be good, because 343 really focuses on that, but all these additions you guys are expecting? You are just setting yourself up for dissapointed.

Not necessarily because we are not saying that halo 4 is going to be the new AAA title which everyone is gonna buy we are just saying that the campiagn will be good, the multplayer will be what the community want and that it will true to the halo lore.

343 can do a good job. Remember most of the employes are halo fans. They are part of the community.
