Game mode idea: Drop ship control

base don the " Halo 3 Mod Tools - The Albatross Dropship" video google the quote for link.

the mod above inspired this idea.

Drop ship control/ctf is a BTB game mode set on a large open map based around either a desert or island. on the map both teams spawn with a Albatross drop ship this has one hog type spawn point and an armory in the back (6 wall racks and a heavy rack) as well as a wall grenade rack.

On the map are 5 points the objective is to use your drop ship to deploy squads to take the points. At the start this is easy as you can easily drop in everyone on a single point of the pilots choosing, or drop in a small squad with the Albatross and distract the enemy with the flying elephant.

But as the match goes and points are locked down (once capped they lock.) it becomes harder. but hey at least you have a flying heavy spawn point. as points are unlocked weapon and vehicle spawns will be placed on said points, as well as normal spawn points. the Drop ship is more important at the early game of the match but in the late game can still be a good tool for flanking.

CTF version: single flag delver it to drop ship flag spawns at random points on the map.

This is very “global battle” sounding and I like that.

global battle? never heard of that type of match.

It was a scrapped mode/concept for either halo 3 or reach (I can’t remember which one).

Wonder why it was scrapped.

Wonder if there is anything I can do to improve the idea.

I support large chaos in the sandbox :smiley:

Who doesn’t. IT is always fun.

Now that I have played infinites MP, I want a mode like this even more.
