wouldnt it be cool if you could be a character in the halo universe. U could pick an era of the whole story of Halo staring with the first two books as one, the last one and halo2 as the second, and then halo 3 and beyond, there could be a whole other spatan project and you could start out as a kid in the spartan project or you can start as a marine and work your way up. Or you could be the covenant. and actualy be a part of a huge battle. and also have space battles. the game would have so much repaly value

i was actually thinkin about a Halo Trading Card Game but this idea sounds vastly superior

i don't know really, it would be hard to balance the races and there wouldn't be much difference between characters.

Kinda like Planetside, or the upcoming Huxley, which looks freakin awesome. It's like an MMORPG, just with the RPG parts stripped down and FPS mechanics added in.

It doesn't work like that, check out some of planetside's mechanics. It's very different from an MMORPG.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

No, It would suck. We don't want a world of warcraft hidden inside of a Halo. That would be crazy. Halo should stay pretty much the way it is. MMO games are for people who dress up and hit each other with foam sticks, people who think they are knights of the round table or people who read shakespeare.

You people are so introverted. It's not world of warcraft. You still run around...with guns...shooting people. That's all you people care about right.

It's just instead of 16 people playing there's, well...there's alot. Also I mean, to justify the MMO part of it you'd probably have to throw in some kind of leveling and skill system, but if you think about it, it can definitely fit within Halo universe. Think instead of skill upgrades, technology upgrades. Weapon effects like the slow down on a person after being hit with constant plasma shots. Or homing on a plasma pistol.

The ideas could go on and on. Add in clans and stuff and it could be pretty fun. Not that I would actually want to see it come out, but it could be fun.

Ummm... no thanks it would just be a waste of Bungie to make something like this and it might not be as popular because its a whole different group of fans. They would start aiming for RPG fans and try to get their fans right now that are FPS fans to become RPG fans. It would take to much time and energy for something that isn't needed when they have the Halo Series being VERY popular as FPS games.

Hey! That's a good word! *scribbles down.. In-tro.. verted.*

I wouldn't care either way, but it could be the next huge MMO.. Of course, it'd bring the WoW players that said "Halo sucks, WoW is so much better" running over and exposing their true sides.. :P I can't stand MMOs.. 60% of the people? Complete idiots.

Introverted.. Heh.

Please, dear god in heaven.

NEVER MAKE A HALO MMO THAT IS ANYTHING LIKE WORLD OF WARCRAFT.

I sware, I might have to do something REALLY bad if that happens.

World Of Warcraft is the most boring and whiney game ever. It depends on who did the most dungeons 2000 times for some gear. Who has the higher level. Who's class is better. It's all rocks paper scissor. No skill is required in it.

Everything in Huxley and World Of Warcraft is instanced (you go in a portal and it takes you to your own little dungeon) instead of playing with tons of people.

The only game style that I can see Halo actually being good in, is Planetside. It's an MMOFPS with TONS of people fighting over bases and towers all the time. It has continents you can take over and if your empire does raids you can take over the world for a night. Theres dozens of vehicles (land and air and water). Countless weapons, from shotgun, auto shotgun, to automatic sniper, and minigun, and plasma gernades. Weapons that have more then one fire (gernade launcher that can launch plasma, jammer, and frag.).

The levels aren't based on "ZOMG I LVELED UP AND NOW I KEN KiLI ALL". No, instead of getting like +2 stats from a level up, you get a battle rank. With a battle rank you get a cert points. With cert points you can get certifications in weapons or vehicles or armor (that means you can get them, you just go up to a term and grab it). You can forget a cert and spend the cert point again. There are 25 Battle Ranks now (I think), every couple ranks you get more color added to your armor. Like one empire starts black, and the max color that gets added is red (your empires main color). Every six levels you can get an implant point (you get three all together) and can get one of many implants, like increased zoom, health regen, advanced targeting (lets you see enemies armor and hp), dark light (lets you see stealth people), surge (speed boost). But implants drain stamina so you can't use them all the time, and you can take an implant off and get another.

Theres also command rank, you get that by leading squads and platoons. There are five command ranks. You get waypoint ability, orbital strike (insta kill beam, one hour cooldown, strategic move), find enemies/allies (scans and displays current locations of enemies or allies on map, 20 minute cooldown), EMP (shockwave the jams all mechanical stuff and blows up mines).

EDIT:: Also, World Of Warcraft is extremely glitchy and laggy and can't handle more then 30 people being around each other unless your in an instance. Planetside however, can handle 300 people with barely any lag.

WORLD OF WARCRAFT = SUCKS! DON'T USE IT

PLANETSIDE = GOOD! USE IT!

That is a good idea. You could also take a page from the mech games, lone wolf i think it is. with the same ideas as above, and in a perpetual (sp?) universe.

MMOFPS= Go for it.
