Massive Multiplayer Idea

For this idea i would think this would go well if its for a new gaming console because god help us if this was for the 360 because this would probably create a lag storm. Anyway what I would think for this type of game mode would be are...

 

- 1-3 maps that are as big as Arma maps. (their like 64 square kilometers for the Newest one coming up and for smaller ones at that)

 

- A capacity of 30 players EACH team.

 

- Extremely oversized and armored vehicles like the Mammoth or the Elephant but can be destroyed by tanks or other means of explosives and a sort of dropship like a Pelican or anything new you guys are probably secretly working on.

 

- Better combat, the combat in Halo 4 wasn't bad but wasn't great either it was to easy to be killed it seemed like so maybe thicker spartan armor or the elite armor would increase damage protection and the vehicle plating helps protect against tank shells or gauss cannon rounds.

 

- A new drivable vehicle (to those who haven't played Halo Wars) the Rhino as a Support Tank that could probably wipe out a mammoth or elephant and tanks and Warthogs would be able to be transported Via pelican.

 

- Npc squads like ODST's or Elite Drop Troops to Help when in infantry battles which would be a terrain not operable by vehicles but is for infantry.

 

- (REQUIREMENT) Good network connection so people don't lag and make everyone mad

 

- Only playable a few times a day so the servers don't overload and to reduce the chance of running into a whiney little kid because no one enjoys that period

Good idea, but remember that this is Halo NOT Battlefield.

 

There's been enough complaints about Halo copying CoD, so indeed we don't need complaints from the friendly community of Battlefield. I can see why you'd enjoy such an idea, but the reality is that any snipers on the map would ultimately dominate, due to the damage and health of Halo games. This also is a means of maps to be dominated by long-range precision weapons such as the DMR, BR and LR. Therefore, the more close-ranged players of the community would gather no real entertainment and interest out of the maps, nor the game. This is not apparent in Battlefield, because the Damage to Health ratio is much smaller, which means that a player with a heavy LMG, is still able to take out a Sniper from a considerable distance.

 

The coming of Destiny also means that we can just go ahead and play that, rather than 343i and Bungie work on an extremely close-related genre or game. Just think about it a bit more. No reason to be upset, there's a considerable amount of stimuli for you to think up the idea, just needs to be refined a bit more.

Yeah i agree with you plus i haven't checked into destiny much but considering its by 343 the creators of the halo universe its probably going to be extremely expansive but i bet they could probably think of something to be able to reduce camping but eh I agree with you and I've only played Battlefield like once so any references to it was unintended but yes I can most likely think of something better about it though.

I know I will get so much hate mail but add. Killstreaks

 

Like vehicle airdrop. But I ordinance fails so many people and its in only a few gamemodes

 

A good weapon or ammo drop would be great

[DracoAvian]

Ordinance is probably my least favorite feature in H4. In my opinion access to power weapons and vehicles should be from map control, not on how many people you've slain. In H4, true skill isn't the deciding factor in Infinity gametypes. The deciding factor seems to be who gets the most sniper rifle drops. It makes map control is negligable. The game plays more like CoD in the sense that you play the map in a single player fashion, looking to give yourself the largest personal advantage, rather than taking up more exposed or assaultable positions in order to help cover different areas or open up alternate routes for your team.

 

I like the idea of "drops" though... With the nextgen consoles it would not be out of the question to see gunships deliver weapon pods (like in H2's campaign) or vehicles for your team or simply across the battlefield for either team to scavange.

 

On the topic of large maps, I'd like to see maps specifically designed and balanced for tanks and other vehicles. Sandtrap in H3 was so much fun for vehicles.

[TyranicSlayer]

I would like to see a little bit of soundtrack and maybe firefight voices in a large play list.

The point is not to have a bunch of infantry running around like chickens getting picked off by snipers. It's supposed to be vehicle ware fare. The sniper is gonna get raped by the guys in a falcon, or by a main battle tank, or by a longsword. If people feel like using ARs then they shouldn't play on large maps, because they will get raped. BTB has the largest population in halo 4 and I bet anything a 30v30 playlist would have the highest population in halo 5.

Just some ideas. The promeathean weapons list is incomplete.

[I_Make_Big_Boom]

Yeah i agree with you plus i haven't checked into destiny much but considering its by 343 the creators of the halo universe its probably going to be extremely expansive but i bet they could probably think of something to be able to reduce camping but eh I agree with you and I've only played Battlefield like once so any references to it was unintended but yes I can most likely think of something better about it though.

 

Whoa now hold on a second there. Destiny is made by Bungie. Not 343. Just wanted to clear that up.

 

Anyway yeah I do want something larger then what we already have in Halo 4. Even though the battles were already big anyway, I still think it would be cool to have a gametype or something that has at least 16+ players involved.

 

I know it's been traditional with 16 for some time now, but I really think some sort of gametype with more than 16 players would get allot of positive reception.

[I<3Grunts]

All weapons and Vehicles ver in halo plus C4, Smoke Grenade. Also remake halo custom edition maps like extinction, coldsnap, and hugeass

[Noneed4sleep64]

I love the idea and hope 343 implement it

but to counter the sniper dominance there should be no sniper rifles and custom load outs disabled so the idea of going on foot is less attractive to players who love plating as infantry

[xbone4life]

I think the battle rifle should get a range in crease while a dmr gets a range decrease

 

[Noneed4sleep64]

The whole idea of a Designated Marksman Rifle is to be long range. If you gave the BR a range boost, it would be OP on proposed maps like this
