Dominion + Forge = Halo Battlefront

Games Other Halo
1

I’m very excited for Dominion, it looks like an amazing game mode. But it’s even more amazing when you think about the possibilities that come with this gametype. the possibility I’m most excited for is a Star Wars Battlefront-styled gametype.

Once Halo 4 arrives I plan on putting an old plan into action by forging a number of places in the Halo universe where battles took place and essentially creating a Halo Battlefield game using Dominion.

I had some free time so I thought I’d come up with some loadouts:

UNSC:
Marine: Battle Rifle, Magnum, Frag Grenades, Ammo, Mobility
Heavy: Sticky Detonator, Magnum, Explosives
Sniper: DMR, Magnum, Frag Grenades, Stability
Engineer: Shotgun, Magnum, Wheelman
Commander: Assault Rifle, Magnum, Auto Sentry, Gunner
Jet Trooper: Assault Rifle, Magnum, Jetpack, AA Efficiency

Storm:
Warrior: Storm Rifle, Plasma Pistol, Plasma Grenades, Ammo, Mobility
Heavy: Concussion Rifle, Plasma Pistol, Explosives
Sniper: Carbine, Plasma Pistol, Stability
Engineer: Needler, Plasma Pistol, Wheelman
Commander: Storm Rifle, Plasma Pistol, Auto Sentry, Gunner
Ranger: Storm Rifle, Plasma Pistol, Jet Pack, AA Efficiency

Promethean:
Knight: Suppressor, Boltshot, Pulse Grenades, Ammo, Mobility
Battlewagon: Scattershot, Boltshot, Hardlight Shield
Snipe: LightRifle, Boltshot, Stability, Awareness
Lancer: Boltshot, Energy Sword, Shield
Commander: Supressor, Boltshot, Auto Sentry, Dexterity, Ammo
Watcher: LightRifle, Boltshot, Promethean Vision, Sensor

So, what places should I Forge for this gametype?

The base camp that Kurt and Mendez made when they were training the Spartan-III’s on Onyx.

Anything is possible with Forge :smiley:

4

The rebel scum has dropped the flag
score one for the empire
MY 2 FAV GAMES TOGETHER!!! i was waiting for battlefront 3 for 7 years but i think i wanted halo 4 all along

5

I’d say maps ranging from Mos Eisley, Kashyyyk to space battles could be recreated completely. Plus other games could be done. e.g: Section 8, Wolfenstien Enemy Territory, a better version of Brink.

6

Before I ever had Xbox Live all I would play was STBF 1 and 2. I can’t wait to see how this turns out! :smiley:

7

I hate to burst a bubble but it looks like most of the stuff on that map seems predetermined by the looks of turret/ vehicle placements.

8

Make Mos Eisley from SWBF2 if there’s a sand forge environment.

I loved all those games.

Me and some friends actually made an invasion map in Reach based on the kashyyyk battle, it was pretty cool and we had a ship were the ‘droids’ would fall out of and survive. We also made a bunch of wraiths stuck in place in the water to bombard the map.

Now with dominion we can now actually make it like battlefront.
Also, there are many people from Pandemic Studios working at 343 now since it closed, so I guess that’s were the new gametype came from. :smiley:

Battlefront was an amazing franchise, 343 should try copying as much from Battlefront as any other game.

Now all we need are editable announcements!

I’m hoping to do a few Battlefront maps, but I want to focus on Halo maps. Here’s what I have planned so far:
Earth
Reach
High Charity
The Ark
Alpha Halo
Delta Halo
Eta Halo
Onyx
Arcadia
Harvest
Pegasi Delta
Requiem
Sanghielos

Agreed but I’m feeling very skeptical as I doubt we’ll be able to place down our own bases as well as move turret placements and such. Hopefully when they were making this gametype they did think full ahead and not just simply making the predetermined maps.

Why would you doubt that? There has not been a single gametype, to my knowledge, that was not able to be used in Forge since it was introduced. I see no reason to think that Dominion would not be the same.

15

The only thing that i DIDN’T like about Battlefront, was it’s inaccuracy to cannon, technology wise

other than that, it was the best Star was game i ever played…

16

Dominion really does seem to be a cool way to had more depth to the game.

I dunno, I just don’t want to go full then be disapointed with the outcome of it so I just expect the worst.

18

We need a Mustafar map!

19

Now we can make ships… with auto-turrets. Presumably.

EPICNESS.
