Battlefield style Halo?

[Joeycuz]

I was just playing Halo 4 and Battlefield 3 and i was thinking, it would be cool if Halo was a bit like Battlefield.

 

I guess people would only understand what i'm talking about if they have played battlefield.

 

Instead of playing as overpowered/shield generated spartans, we could play as ODSTs, marines, engineers, marine force recon, snipers. I guess some people might say, who will fight who? mmm maybe marines against marines from different halo games?

 

For example: Halo Reach marines vs Halo 3 marines, ODSTs vs Marines? To make it fair, and not biased it should be made so that being in different branches of the UNSC or being a marine or ODST doesn't make differences just difference in appearance. Or following the halo story line, it could be UNSC vs Insurrectionists

 

and using different weapons from different Halo games, bringing back..

classic Halo CE assault rifle,

SMG,

Halo 2 & 3 & 4 BR,

Halo Reach & 4 DMR

and of course adding Covenant and Fore Runner weapons.

 

Also unlocking attachments and making attachments affect the weapon and gameplay different. It would be hard to moderate and control the damages done by the weapons to make the game play fair and not biased. But it would still be cool.

 

Multiplayer maps could be made bigger in scale to support bigger battles with much more people and vehicles.

 

In Battlefield 3, there's always some form of vehicle you can ride: Jets, Tanks, IFVs, Helicopters and Jeeps.

You could bring

Warthogs

Mongooses

Pelicans

HORNETS (I miss the hornet from Halo 3)

Elephants

Falcons

Tanks

 

[unlockable attachments for vehicles too?]

 

and more.

 

I guess what makes halo different from Battlefield, Call of Duty and many other games is its unique multiplayer, gameplay and campaign. And I understand that a lot of people may disagree with me and think this is absolutely ridiculous, but I don't know, I don't think it would be that bad.

 

To add on, I know Halo 5 is going to be a Reclaimer Trilogy but who knows what Halo games will be like in the future? With generations of XBOXs to come

 

Tell me what you guys think!

The whole "play as ODST's marines etc." just killed it for me. Halo multiplayer is about Spartans, and Im sure those other freak ideas can come not play to make the multiplayer more expansive and epic.

duel weilding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the idea, but it wouldn't be marine vs. Odst. It would be UNSC vs. Rebel faction, UNSC vs. Covenant, Heretics vs. Covenant, etc. The battlefield gameplay is amazing, and I would love to see a battlefield style halo. There is so much that is being held back from the community.

Wouldn't work.

Sad man... U r no halo fan, halo is special for what they do, trying to copy other games... Dissapointing!

I would like to see some of the elements from battlefield more massive firefights. Maybe even battle front.

don't listen to the negative criticism, this is a very creative idea for Halo, I thought about this for quite a while myself. It should have many many elements from Battlefield, such as:

 

-many variants of weapons (from each and every Halo game as well as new weapons/variants) as well as the vehicles and its variants (ex: different warthogs)

 

-different classes for different factions, with their own set of weapons and characters (UNSC - Marines, ODSTs, SPARTAN-IVs, so on. Covenant - Sangheili, Jiralhanae, Sangheili Rangers, so on.)

 

-different playable factions, such as the UNSC, the Covenant, the Insurrectionists, and the Heretics.

 

-depending on the map, it could include which faction fights which, making a large variety of battles. These include:

UNSC vs UNSC (simulation)

UNSC vs Covenant

UNSC vs Insurrectionists

UNSC vs Covenant Storm

Covenant Loyalists vs Covenant Separatists (could have a map on High Charity during the Great Schism as well as other maps)

Covenant vs Heretics (could have a close quarter map on the Gas Mine in Threshold from Halo 2, and other maps of course)

DLC - Forerunners vs Ancient Humanity (One out of possibly 4 classes for the Forerunner can be a Promethean Knight, aside from actual Forerunner Warrior-Servants with Combat Suits)

 

If the Forerunners don't become a playable faction sadly, then the Forerunner weapons can be neutral weapons that can be selected in all classes of all factions, just like what Battlefield does.

 

Hell, even on certain maps, there can be Flood outbreaks where they begin attacking players in their path, maybe starting off with Flood Infection Forms popping out of Egg Forms, or even Flood Pods shooting down Flood Combat Forms from a flood-infested frigate that just arrived above the map through slipspace.

 

And finally, there can be many different gametypes but one main playlist that is similar to the game Section 8, where it combines a bunch of objectives into one (kill a VIP, transport a vehicle to a certain area, defend a base, extract classified intel, prevent a MAC blast shot from shooting down one of your team's frigates by hacking a cpu system, etc...while all in one match) while still killing enemies for points, which all accumulate points until a team wins.

 

 

I believe a Battlefield style Halo could VERY creative and could be one of the most unique video game experiences anyone has ever witnessed, Halo fan or not. (hopefully very probable in the future, maybe that MMO experience could come in handy for let's say 164v164 matches)

I would like to see something similar to Battlefield 2142's Titan mode in Halo. Perhaps a Covenant Corvette against a UNSC Frigate. Both teams start off on their respective vessels or directly underneath it and have to work to take down the enemy ship.

So you're saying you want HaloField? Go for it. Just don't call it Halo, because Halo it is not.
