New Halo idea


Haloz27

Recommended Posts

I'm sure destiny will be one of the best game ever invented, but i was wondering about something that was never even thoight. A "fusion" between Halo Wars and the common halos we know now, such as Halo 4 and in the future Halo Destiny. The idea was to make multiplayer battles starting in one of the two factions: Covenant or Humans. Who starts in the covenant one, is an élite with just a basic equipment and who starts in the cst one is a spartan with basic equipment too (assault rifle and grenades). The covenant faction has a wraith near the spawn point and cst has a scorpion. The first task is to conquest a rebel base near the spawn point of each faction, and when the rebel base is destroyed, one of the players can start to be a commander of the game building a base. As Halo wars, you must upgrade your technology and produce units (guided by AI). For example you can produce marines to help the players who are fighting on the battle field (which must be big). Players can drive all vehicles that commander produces and the commander can upgrade them during the match, for example scorpione could have a second ability and become grizzlys to encrease the power. The commander can use powers too, and can transport players to a determined area of the map when they request it. The covenant faction can produce the leader and use his power on the map. A player can be the commander of only one base, every base has its spawn points and when a player makes the commander he can't use his character (spartan/elite). When a base is destroyed, its commander respawns as a normal player. The game ends when a faction hasn't got any bases for 5 minutes. There could be added new factions, such as floods, and game types you can do only doing the commander or only a spartan/elite. What do you think about this? I know that it will take a long to be realized(years) but i'm sure a new Halo forged like this will be the best strategy/first person shooting game ever done.

This is in the wrong thread, I don't think this qualifies as "tech center" material, but making Halo a FPS/RTS hybrid is not wise. There are plenty of FPS/RTS hybrids and they don't necessarily work well. Adding that big of a change to an FPS game just isn't plausible. There are some sci-fi FPS/RTS hybrids out there that sound really similar to what you have written.

I think it would be cool to see something like the old Star Wars: Battlefront games outfitted to Halo, but not part of the considered "main" franchise 343 is developing, or necessarily canon to the lore. Maybe that is what the Halo: Project Contingency is all about?

Halo Project Contingency is a fan made Halo game built on the CryEngine.

Now hang on a minute. It sounds very similar to Star Wars: Battlefront series, which I have to say was a great series.

Thank you SPARTAN 117 for the Battlefront reference. 

 

I think if they did something like that, they would attract more of the RTS players (expand their ever growing community of players) which 343 might do. I personally love Halo the way it is. Don't change the main series of games. But I also loved Halo Wars, was a nice side game. I see nothing wrong with making a Halo themed FPS/RTS game variant. It would be awesome (if it was made correctly).

Battlefront was an amazing series but it's gameplay isn't meant for Halo. Now a game variant would actually be really it won't change the game and gives players more options.

You may be right, but I do not want to say what Halo can and cannot be. I would honestly like to see small devs contribute to the Halo universe because the Halo universe is so large, it is capable of sustaining such contribution without contradicting past games, novels, etc.
