When i first heard about the train in terminal (before it was available) i thought maybe it would be a large map and that the train would stop at certain spots for pick up and drop offs. it seemed like a kind of cool idea to me. then i found out it was purely for show and then thought... "could that have actually worked?" do you guys think that would be cool? To have a train run a circuit around one of the big 16 player maps, stopping periodically for pick up/drop off. I think it could offer some kick ass tactics/gameplay. You could gather a bunch of people and then get dumped off near the base and start fighting. Or do youguys think it wouldnt work with the fast gameplay or that it wouldnt be fair because people can get places to fast? Maybe it'll work for halo 3's gameplay.

Just reilized (after i posted this)... there is an "all vehicle post" in the forums... well... this is a little different i guess, oh well.

that would be kinda cool but that if done right or wrong in this case would eliminate the use of the peli which i yearn for highly

I really like that idea. Maybe toned down a bit. Like the train is small so you can only be two people in there... Or maybe you'll just be behind weak glass, so you can be sniped when your going to the other team.

Holy crap he's got a gun!
We've got a runner!!
I'll stop throwin grenades when you stop shooting at me.
I don't think they want us in their base.
I have ketchup in my pockets.
My pockets hurt.
I have big feet and you know what they say about people with big feet ......they wear big shoes.

Everybody say it with me "Monorail"....monorail

Good idea because then people will eventually get used to using public transportation and know how often the train comes. So in multiplayer "come on guys" trains a coming"

But only allow 5 people on the train and then have grunts in business suits on their blackberrys on the train too.

Yes, that is a good idea. They could also do the same thing with the pelican. It just needs the ability to be exploded every so often, but it should also respawn. Another thing that would add to it is being able to take out the tracks, that would be flippin' awesome!!

It would be too easy to achieve an easy Killamanjaro if a bunch of people loaded up on a train. All you would have to do is camp the exit with a rocket launcher and once the door opens, the fun begins...

If you think thats a bad thing, you're crazy.

This is just more and more reasons it would be an awesome addition. I could just imagine one team gathering into the train thinking "Oh man theyre gonna get owned so hard!" and once it arrives at the other bases stop, 8 people are waiting for them trying to get into the train themselves. All during the time the pink team with Rocket Launchers picks them ALL off. Thats about 18 kills in one (Halo 3 is going to have more than 16 players, if they don't...)

i think this is a real good idea too, just think you could balance it by if say the attacking team has the train for easy transport because the walk it really long, and the defending team get rockets. it the defending team blows the tracks then the train would collide into their own base causeing a shortcut, another enterance that the attacking team could use to easily access the flag room or whatever. i think its a cool idea but certain things would have to be worked out to make it fair, like amount of people that can go on it, how close to the base it drops you off and things like that. but all in all a good idea i think
