Hello! I’m YouNoWho22. And this is my idea for “Assault On Requiem” A Big team battle integration game inspired by “Planetside 2”. Or those of you who haven’t heard of PS2, It is a MMO game in which players assume the roles of soldiers fighting in any of three factions at war. the goal of the game is to gain and hold control of different bases and continents. So here is my idea along with a story for this idea:
(Please inform me if any of this doesn’t fit in or make sense as I know some but not all of the halo lore)
Shortly after the events of Halo 4, The Covenant are no longer fighting alonside the promethians as the didact has been defeated and is no longer controlling them. so the covenant are establishing a halo ring around requiem to elimiate the majority of the promethians as well as the remaining unsc forces on and orbiting requiem. This wages a three way war between The Covenant as they try to establish a halo ring, The Promethians as they struggle as A Militia without their leader, as well as the UNSC trapped in the middle of a war to which they are thrown into.
(this is just a beta type story to fit into)
So. Here’s my idea: People post on this thread as to which faction they would like to be assigned to: UNSC, Covenant or Promethians. there are no faction leaders. Just everybody represents their factions.
I can make a map/grid of different areas to which battles are “taking place”.
at the start of the each week (Monday) I will edit this first post with updated faction rosters.
and every saturday. so Long as you are available to play. you should play at least 1 matchmade BTB game. you should then reply with the waypoint game link to show wether you won or loss. you can go in by yourself. but grabbing friends from your faction is recommended. as the first game of btb you play is the one you should report. so please report only the first game. if you lose. that will count as one loss on your factions record, you should specify which part of the map/grid you “battled” on and it will count as a loss on that sector. if you win. whoever reported the game should specify which part of the map/grid they “battled” on. meaning it increases the total amount of wins on that sector for your team. once your team has 3 wins on that sector, that faction has control. they can be over thrown by another faction getting 4 wins. and they can be overthrown by 5 and so on. you do not need to battle one person or a entire team of people from the enemy faction. just the first matchmade btb game on saturday. if a faction losses. they get one less amount of wins on which ever sector they have the most wins on. so heres an example:
there are 9 sectors. named 1,2,3,4,5 and so on. at the very start of this thing unsc controls #1. Covenant controls #4. and Promethians controls number #7. each faction automatically has 3 wins on their starting sectors. even before any games are played. lets say unsc loses their first game. the now have only 2 wins on sector 1. they win their second game. they can choose wether to apply that win to sector 1. to apply that win on a free sector. or to challenge another faction and put 1 win on one of their sectors. im using this system so a member of any faction doesnt have to play only other faction members. because if they lose. its still beneficial to the other factions because it makes sectors easier to over throw and control. so people can just lone wolf it. or they can get in touch with other members of their faction to play, strategize and decide which sectors to focus on based on who has control. once any faction has control of all 9 sectors. they win. and another season will start shortly after that. So. if you’re interested. please reply with your gamertag and the faction of your choosing. Here’s the rosters:
Update 2/10/2014
I’m thinking, so long as we can get at least 4-8 on each faction that this should be a faction vs faction thing instead faction vs matchmakers.
UNSC:

I feel like this would be better if we had actual vs games in special themed custom maps… but that would require establishment and work and a large player base…
Oh well. It’s still an excellent idea.
S 000 DeM
UNSC

That’s exactly what I was thinking. like each faction could have their own maps as their “bases” so factions could challenge another faction by “storming their base” but that’s an idea for a large player base. Maybe season 2?
May I motion to restrict loadouts and armor to thematic options for each faction?
> May I motion to restrict loadouts and armor to thematic options for each faction?
That’s actually why I picked covenant because I use the covie carb. I feel like it’s a really solid idea. So for now, you should use your respective factions weapons until further notice. I think it’s totally fine to use other factions’ ordnance/weapons found on the battlefield because in reach firefight they were “covenant haretics” who used unsc weaponry.
I’ll give it a shot;
Bayouu | UNSC
If I could give some canon advice, The Covenant have nowhere near the technology required to build a Halo, especially not the Covenant Remnant. I would suggest some changes be made regarding that.

Also, post-Halo 4 the Prometheans are working with the Covenant against humanity up until Requiem’s destruction.
I suggest we say that this battle is taking place on a different planet/installation, with a different Covenant splinter group.
We can download maps made by the community and have battles against each faction instead of going into BTB with a whole team of UNSC faction comrades, and destroying a group of random bad kids.
hey guys I got a couple things to say:
- I think whatever faction should be able to use whatever weapons they like. Only because if we restrict your weapons to your factions’ then almost everybody will pick UNSC meaning very little people will be fighting for the covies/promies.
- I would much rather make this a thing created in custom games instead of matchmaking. so if you could id encorouge people to sign up and tell their friends so we can have minimum of 8 people on each faction.
- I think each faction should have their own thematic base. meaning the UNSC base is either exile or longbow. the promthian base would be meltdown and the coveant base would be vortex. thoughts?
- and whenever we can organize events because im on the covenant if the unsc “storms my base” we would go into a custom on vortex.
- I really could use help with the story of this. if anyone wants to just write a short reason as to why their is a three way war between these factions that would really help
thanks guys!
If you want I can try to write down a plot during this weekend Is sure sounds fun and I could keep writing it while we’re fighting. Let mw know if you’re interested in this

I am. congrats you’re now the official writer of this project.
Okay
I was planning to create a sort of a book, while the matches are fighted, just to make it more “realistic”. The only problem is the fact that I’m Italian, so you might find some errors 
I can also invite a bunch of Italian friends, to let more people join to A.O.R.
I can get to work on some custom maps for each base so we don’t have to use the standard ones.
I can help you forge the bases just send me a message if you want me to. GT is ExiledxArbiter
UNSC and Covenant base prototypes are now done

Thanks for all your help guys I am okay with forging I’m just not that good with map flow and design. But if anyone’s wants help just instruct me and I’ll forge it!
can I see the prototypes possibly, I always feel it is better to have other people see forge creations in order to get them to there highest potential.
