I was thinking last night, and I came up with a brilliant idea. Water Based Battles. It would be a completly new way to play Halo. Im not saying that they should make it 50% 50% and bring WBB up to par with battles that are on land, but it would be nice to have a water level here and there in campaign. Maybe there could even be some Water Based Maps for Halo 3 Multiplayer. I know it would not be like Halo to have something like this but I think is would be pretty sweet. But WBB would be pretty lame unless there are some Water Based Vehicles.

For the Water Based Maps in Multiplayer there would be two main bases, one on each side of the map. And in between and on the sides of the map there would be some neutral bases. You could travel from base to base in Water Based Vehicles. But you could always teleport from base to base just by using teleporters and I guess there could also be some walk-ways.

So if you guys and gals have any ideas for the Water Based Battles, Maps, and Vehicles I wouls appreciate.

someone posted an idea for an under water level for campain so that would be a good idea and for a level after the one i just told you about

  • 07.21.2006 3:08 PM PDT

i think a water based "island wars" multiplayer level would be awesome, especially for CTF. two islands, two bases, watercraft exploding everywhere! that would pwn!

Yeah, right. Yours gave Water Based Levels a bad name. Any way I did not see yours. And yours really did not say much

An under water level is nothing like Water Based Levels. An under water level is just a normal indoor level surronded by water. You cant even interact with it. In water based levels you can use boats and you have to cross water to get to other parts of the map

"I did not see yours, and yours did not say much"? How much sense does that make, dear Watson?

Water based battles would be awsome for Halo 3. I mean come on. Getting in a warthog and traveling across the water being shot at by turrets trying to capture the enemy flag. How would you be able to say no.

I wrote mine before I saw yours. Then I looked at yours, edited my post, and said that yours did not say much

I think a water based level would be really cool.... imagine if you got shot out of the water vehicle and your body actually made a splash and floated there.

If there are going to be islands, then they need to be big islands with canals and jungle to fight in. I think that the water should just be used for transportation and as "back doors" into the enemies rear defenses. Even though the Chief is in the Navy, he's a ground pounder. He (Eric Nylund) said it himself in the books.

Water Battles are a good idea, but I don't see it happening.

i like the wbb's but not a whole map of water. maybe a lake in the middle and get like dirt paths around it. kinda like coag but with a giant lake. and the hogs have to be amphibious. and maybe a plane/chopper for quick travel.

I dunno. Water based battles seem like a bit of a stretch, simply because of all the flight tech in halo, but space based battles would probably word. They would be pretty much the same as water battles except they would make more sence with halo canon, and give us another excuse to tell bungie that we want the pelican.

Anyway, part of the problem with water based battles would be that spartans cant swim. They weigh half a ton. On the other hand, this would give water battles a more distinct feel, as players would have to depend on vehicles for transportation, so mabye it's a good thing.

Heh, I made a thread like this, or somewhat, also.

I think that the fact that a map should be based simply off of a gametype would not be Halo. All of Halo's maps are unique in their own way, they all have a purpose, possibly their own backstory.

So a map that would simply be a lake, with two bases at the other end wouldn't fit the style.

However....the idea itself is good.

But my thread was actually just about the lack of water based maps or lack of water at all. I want to see a map that would be involved with running through water, be an underwater structure, or possibly a mix.

Almost Bio Shock, a structure that is leaking, underwater.

It would be cool. But to take it so simply? Nah, think of Headlong, that's a good example, there are pretty much 2 bases, but it's more complicated.

Maybe I just share lots of ideas, but I also made a page on this. If the post copied me, I don't know.
