So, bascally your introducing a gametype that would take a standard campaign type mission and incorporate it as a multi-player game-type? With real-players as playing instead of NPCs? That's revolutionary! That idea has tremendous potential, I believe with the processing power of the new console we can even have more than just 16 players. We can have teams as big as 20 players each. It would be the closest thing to war strategy that we've seen in a game yet. When embarking on such a long multiplayer game, there should be a pre-game strategy that players can discuss amongst their team-mates before the match begins. Sweetness bro, sweetness.

I think you can play campaign with someone on xbox live or at least be able to have 3 other people play campagin with you on a single xbox 360

Don't take it offensively, but I don't think the gematype would work exactly like you put it


I agree with you Darth. But it's definetly an idea that has potential, it can always be tweaked by the game-developers.

Thanks for the support people.

Yeah, if you want to create your scenarios for this gametype, then please do so (Remember, that 3 objectives on one map would be the idea number).

WayOfTH3gamer mentioned having 20 on 20 battles. I gonna disagree w/ you on that one, 16 players seems like it's gonna be the max amount for Halo 3 ( thanks for the reply though). Bungie said in the past that 4 vs 4 is the sweet spot for most gametypes/maps.

Let's not forget that this is just a Gametype, just like King of the Hill, & CTF ect is. It has to be simple, & easy for players to understand. We also have to be realistic w/ ourselves. All I'm saying is it's just a Gametype, & it could possibly have it's own playlist.

On another note, I'm thinking that the new Gametype that Bungie mentioned this past Friday, is "Zombies!!!" Why??? Well,, b/c they said that they are having a hard time in determining how points ect will be awarded. Slayer ect is easy to determine points & the score ect (as is CTF, KofH, Oddball, ect)

Anyways back on topic. Keep the replies coming, they are much appreciated.-Peace

Basically what you're proposing is online co-op except the players get to play both the Human team and the Covenant team, and I like it :)

Also, "Member Since: 6/22/2001" you joined on my birthday lol (obviously not 2001 though).

EDIT: I remember reading that the norm for Xbox360 is 32 players max over Xbox Live for most games and I have a hard time believing that Halo 3 would have any less as the max, simply put they should have 32 player gametypes and those who are too bothered by lag or other issues could simply stay away from those gametypes and playlists.

If we are what we eat, then oh my God, we're cannibals.

I hope that I'm not alone on this, but I think that is an AWESOME idea!

As my dad's Albert Einstein shirt says in very visible black ink, "I wish I'd thought of that!"

Another Map idea ( if this was said before then tell me and ill delete it)

The Map it the Cairo station (1st lvl in Halo 2) Sparten Attackers would Firs meet the enemy at the first place where Johnsan puts down the turret and it says "Home Field Advantage." The First eliets would come throught the exploding door and attack the there. If succeful then the spartens have a new spawn point in the first receation room ( the 1st place with the trees and rised platforms.) The second 1 is capturing the Armory where u have 2 firght ur way throung the 2 plecian bays then 2 the Armory and capture it. The third is the outside part in space and the big elevator (inside) and also the MAC GUN Fireing Mechinasum (in space. Then they would travel in the elevator down 2 the bomb place where origanly the cheif disarmed the covie bomb. There u will have 2 fight and if the Spartans are sucsesful (by disarming the bomb) they winn the round. If the covies are to hlod them off untill the bomb explods they win. (when it explodes it will show a cut-scene of the station blowing up. and if it disarms it will show a cutscene of the whole team bringing the bomb and rideing with it to the Covie ship and blowing it up there ex: the ending cut-scene of the 1st lvl in
halo 2

Thanks for all of your replies people.

32 players sounds fun in theory, but I cannot name a single Halo MP map that would be fun for 32 players. It's for that reason alone, I believe H3 will stay @ 16 max players. I guess we will find out in 07'.

Hey, cool scenario. Not very original, but sounds like it could be fun. Remember, 3 objectives would be the norm. Try & think of a different locale/setting.

Keep on posting.-Peace
