Basic premise: Battlefield/Halo crossover where the playable factions are the UNSC Marines and the Insurrectionists, engaged in open warfare.
So i had a long thought about this, and I looked at the list of vehicles and vehicle classes in Halo and Battlefield 3. So at some point in the foreseeable future i will upload my ideas onto this thread. It is a list of classes, weapons, weapon upgrades, vehicles, vehicle upgrades, and equipment. Also a bunch of other stuff.

I’d play it. There’d need to be a distinct difference between the two factions though, which might be a bit difficult to pull off. However, if done correctly it’d be very fun.
Not sure what I can add for the moment, but good work thus far!
Cool. Seems like something that might be interesting to play. I just wish I actually remembered to update my Halo Battlefront thread a few months ago before it died…
I’d love it if you could play as ODST’s, drop into battle as a loading screen?

That would be an option for certain battles, mainly ones based around Conquest Assault or Rush, with asymmetric battles. Otherwise it would sorta defeat the main role of ODSTs, which is to drop in behind enemy lines. You cant do that in a gametype that is meant to be evenly balanced.
Maybe in the character customisation you make a single character for each faction (UNSC and Insurrection), that is compatible with each class, so that certain equipment specific to each class is attached to your character. For UNSC, you would also make a custom suit of ODST armour, but the only parts affected by the customisation are the chest and legs, while the helmet, shoulders and backpack are specific to the class (although this could cause problems with everyone wanting to be Recon)
