Just wanted to get peeps opinion on a multiplayer mode I have in mind.

I am not sure what I would call this game type but it would be a base warfare type game. Say Red team starts with a base and their objective of course is to defend the base from the impending blue attack. Blues objective(s) would be something along the lines of kill 50 enemy opponents and retrieve enemy AI or some type of important data.(which would involve you standing at a console or zone for a specified amount of time).

So in essence, it's pretty much the same thing as Assault and CTF. You go and stand in a spot for a given amount of time and then you grab the AI or whatever, and you must take it from the base and put it in a safezone without dying. Sounds hard.

This is kind of like 1-Bomb/Assault where a team is offense and one is on defense.

it's like assault and CTF mixed. It'd be pretty damned hard.

yeah it could be similar to that but i think make it so you have to hit a kill limit first to make it a bit harder or depending on how destructive the environments are in halo 3 they could make it so you just have to raze an enemy base

This sounds like a very interesting game type, a great modification of SWAT, if the game had say 30 players, you could have blue team send a five man infultration unit in to the red base to take out their central computer. Two or three of the other blues could take up hidden sniping positions to visualy moniter the outside of the red base. Have a captian who could command the entire mission via blue com channels. All the time having five to seven blues keeping watch at the blue base and protecting their own master computer.
