Halo: 4 - Space Battles on Multiplayer

[Tartarean]

**DISCLAIMER**

This article contains SPOILERS of the Halo: Reach campaign. If you have not finished the Reach campaign, I suggest leaving now, unless you don't care. Thanks.

 

 

Imagine if in Halo: 4 there could be space battles. Yeah, like in the Halo: Reach mission "Long Night of Solace" where you drive the Sabre space ships. Think of it, like that, but in multiplayer. Okay now, don't say that wouldn't be cool. It may not be as cool as being on the ground in action. But!.. It would add to the crazy-cool variety of Halo, and the outer-Earth expression. Am I right?

 

 

List of Some of Things That Space Battles Would Be Cool/Useful For:

• Machinima's
  
• People who like space battles
  
• Actual further use of the Sabre ships
  
• Gametype/map creativity
  
• Funner battles
  
• Role players, maybe
  

There are a lot more, that was just a list of "some" of the things it would be cool/useful for. If you have any ideas of why it would be cool, post it in the comment section. Also, if you have any reasons why it would be bad, I'm accepting those too.

Thanks.

I like the idea but i'm not sure if it would be the best idead in Matchmaking. Custom games and Forge defenitally would be awesome!

But it also would be cool for Matchmaking if there was a specific game type for space battles though.

imagine a forge map that had the infinity docking bay, then you can go out side and fly around and see a covenant corvette's docking bay. and you could go and make some "ground" out there to make some crazy game types.

No matchmaking but I would make some cool space battle maps in forge.

This would work perfectly well as a Big Team gametype in Matchmaking, though it would need a dedicated map. If anyone here played Star Wars Battlefront II, they'll remember the space battles from that, and I think this could work in a very similar manner.

I would love that since there is not going to be a star wars battlefront 3

That would be pretty similar the Star Wars Battlefront 2. And, I like the idea of that.

I think this is a fantastic idea and I have thought of similar ideas before. However, we have to be realistic here and say that this isn't going to happen. Think how big it would have to be and how much time and money it would cost to create this. It would be amazing, with Human; Covenant and Forerunner ships but it would have to be huge, frankly quite disappointing as this would most likely be small.

That was my favorite game for the original X-BOX. In fact I still play it because of how fun the galactic conquest mode is.

 

OT: If 343 were to implement this form of space battle it would be amazing. It would also give them motive to put in flyable Pelican.

I think a space battle would be very cool

[MjrBurn]

My brother and I have contemplated and hoped for the same thing. I think it would definitely add to the game play and possibly attract more people to the franchise. During Halo: Reach I found myself replaying "Long Night of Solace" several times just to fly the Sabre around and toy with its capabilities. Adding it to multiplayer would bring some more diversity to the matchmaking. I am also hoping for more campaign missions with the Sabre integrated into it.

[ASuperWhiteGuy]

If 343 does this Halo 4 will be awesomesauce.

[RoosterTeethFan]

this would be to much because my skull would cave in at the awesomeness of it!

[Undead]

This would be amazing for custom games and forge but I don't think it'd be a good idea for Multiplayer. Maybe as its own gametype but even that would be pushing it.

[DoctorB77]

If they were able to tie it into the campaign the sure.

[Kyvarius]

Something like Battlefront 2 would be the perfect thing to make Halo 5 interesting, which is something it desperately needs. I've been with Halo since CE, and I love it to death. But Halo Reach and 4's matchmaking got boring for me. It wasn't that the gameplay was dull, but that the match system of join in, get kills or objectives, then end and repeat, made it seem like a grind.

Like in Battlefront 2, there could be a few different space ships to do certain things. Fighters for basic dogfighting and escorting (Longsword and Seraph), bombers for assaulting the exterior of capital ships (Shortsword and maybe heavy Banshee?), and transports for landing troops inside the capital ships to take out critical systems (Pelican and Phantom). There could also be mannable AA turrets for defense. Just some ideas to maybe get you guys at 343 thinking.

I still believe in you!
