So I’ve really been pondering the idea of of forging with ai and how it will effect match making down the line. Provided these game types meet the required parameters.
These being:
Forgeable ai: for one forgeable ai have been on the top of everyone’s forge request for a long time. To develop stories of our own or just participate in all out mayhem.
Fame: new game types always need a good amount of people playing it regularly for it to ever reach match making consideration.
Playable Elites: Playable elites have a decent thread existence here in the forums. Myself included, miss the option to play as an elite. For game types like these it’s crazy useful.
Imagine if you will loading up in a soft kill barrier in the back of a pelican. As you and the team (5 including you) jump out it takes a second before the pelican lifts off and you look down the way at the winding road. You know an enemy team is moving to secure the location The UNSC marked as a (who the blam cares).
The enemy team 4 Elites with an elite commander jump out of a phantom. And begin a skirmish with defending UNSC forces.
The goal is to reach the location and stop the elites from gaining control. How is this done without elites dominating?
Simple. The elites are preparing for assault. They have a 3 minute timer before the walls of the phantom “Open” and they can jump down to fight. However be careful you, have a limited number of lives.
This can also be done as two teams of Spartans racing to complete objectives faster then another team in identical arenas, if non elite gameplay is your go to.
Have any great story or game type ideas that could be a blast? I’d love to hear them
