If this is the last halo i want the story to go forever so halo never dies.
I also have an idea for the halo "franchise" how about this.


Halo:Galactic Conquest.

It could be like a massive game where online everyone plays in the universe, 5 races Sepratist Covenant(Elites,Hunters,Grunts),
Other Covenant(Prophets,Brutes,Jakals,Annoying bug thingys(they piss me off))
Humans,Flood and Forerunner(Sentinels etc.)
And Combinations (Original covenant, Covenant with brutes,Human with forerunner sentinels,Flood and forerunner combined etc.)

You start off as a lowly footsoldier but work you way up the ranks, earning and buying armor, ships, Structures, troops and Respect.

Everything is customisable

It combines the awesome FPS of Halo 1-3 and an all new battle command system; prepare for battle, in battle, ship shooting, boarding, planet capturing etc.
You can decide to set auto command and just kickass with your guy and your troops or you can command your troops
But....,
if the enemy gets into your command area you have to fight them off before commanding again.
It could be the best online game ever!!!

seems like a good idea BUT im not sure it would work, the game would become to complex and irritating if you wanted to do summut but then had to do summut else inorder to continue with what you were doing.... and it seems to me that your suggesting adding more genre types and are starting to move away frm the !st person shooter aspect

If so.
Set before the events of halo but with all technologies from the games + more
Bungie would Hold Earth with like a million strong fleet and thousands of those space station thingys (if you capture earth bungie will give you heaps of stuff, then destroy you with a suddeny appearing fleet of 487314817 trillon if you don't leave.)

The rings would be held by flood and sentinels.

High charity would sit in an area where all covenant people start(back in the day when all covenant were peaceful.)

The flood would reside dormant in an area owned by peaceful humans who breed like rabbits.

Plaus seperate headquaters for the different species of covenant Eg. their homeworlds(methane filled grunt planet,Elite battle training planet, Prophet and Mecanic archive,Jakals forest planet filled with game animals, hiveworld of those bug thingys, and a brute tribal like planet filled with large tasty animals.)

Basically the rest of the universe is owned by "neutrals" who are weak at most planets but get stronger as more of their planets get captured.
Of course ther would be a "newbie" area where all people start.

What do you think?

no, commands would be auto when attacked but if a person is owning you with a master plan you could stop them by directy "cutting off the head from the body"
And also you could have the option of choosing not to do any of the complicated stuff and just fight in first person or join into your higher ranked friends ship and just fight as the same rank people as you making clans have their own fleets and stuff.

i had teh exact same idea, it was ages ago, before halo 3 was even whispered about. Since i had heaps of time to think about it i thought of the maddest way to do this. i waas thinking that you started as a footsoldier on a planet. then you could be opportunistinc and fight around ground battles until you gained a respectable record, at some point in this you could get invited to join someone's 'crew'. from there you could fight your way up, gain promotions and then at some point the promotions would branch off. you could go as a foot soldier and fight your way up to a spartan or some other cool unit ( maybe some medics, or some specialisng like in battlefield 2), or go on as a pilot. as this you would advance levels starting with a longsword/ pelican pilot on a ship all the way to an admiral or captain. depending on your record you could get better ships and more people on your team. then we could have massive space battles. ungie could use their multiplayer matchup thing to stop massive supercarriers taking on some small frigates. a cool medal system would be nice here too.

yea thats basically what i was thinking 2.
You work your way up the ladder until you have your own seperate planet and subculture and stuff. Highest rank:GOD
But keep it real.
And not nerdy
Like runescape where if you arent as good as someone playing 24/7 they insult you, keep it respectful and real
Plus i want like 100 purple hearts.

yea if you like the idea bungie, give me an e-mail and please put me on the testing list, also i want to be a games developer too, maybe AI programming or some game engine programming, but alas i'm only 17 and i'll be finishing yr 12 this year. I'd still like to help if Bungie likes the idea.

Also i was thinking more on the lines that the highest rank is admiral or something depending on the path you go on and the best thing you can get is a super-cruiser or become some sort of supersoldier.

we don't want to go too far into a black and white( the game) concept, that would make it kinda -blam!-

Hi everyone, my name's Nickc 27 and I have trouble letting things go.

Sorry, only joking. I would have thought bungie would like to do something different after Halo3.

i was thinking that multiple paths would be cooler

for humans:

fresh recruit
then marine or pilot

MARINE path
marine
ODST
Supersoldier ( SPARTAN III???) or Tactical advisor
Tactical advisor ( optional )


PILOT path
pilot
large ship navigato/ weapon specialist
ship captain
admiral

naturally the marines, pilots, ODST, SPARTAN and so on have ranks inside them but i was too lazy to write them up.

Also if you are a pilot you change your ship, fully customise it. First of all u start off with a longsword or a pelican and work your way up to a supercarrier. Ship captains and admirals can fill a spot of navigator/ weapons specialist or so on.

The Halo 3 forum is for Halo 3 discussions only, not what Bungie will do after Halo 3. Also, don't bump up your threads.
