How about halo looking to take on like a star wars battlefront/ battlefront 3 approach? They could have huge maps like hemorrhage, spire, or any of the other modified maps created. The game could have the players start out playing as regular UNSC soldiers, or can choose the ODST soldiers to combat the covenant. Have the players then play also as the covenant as jackals, elites, skirmishers, brutes, or even grunts. The Hunters would be a special class that would need to be unlocked through points, and played as a few times a game. The players could not play as the flood, but the flood would act like the sand people did in the first star wars battlefront, attacking either team. The players would as they played the game unlock heros to play as when they receive enough points either through kills or capturing objectives. The humans would get to play as the spartan of their choice, and the covenant could play as their arbiter. I think that this game would be a great improvement over halo wars because it could be either third or first person, and vehicles could be manned all over the battlefield. As that faction controls the command post, their type of vehicles would spawn there. Halo administrators and halo fans, what do you think of this as a new halo game for the future?

That would be awesome if you could do that for multiplayer as well.
Hell Yeah! That would be epic! I loved the Battlefront series so it would be great to a halo entry. But it probably won’t happen.
Isn’t Battlefront owned by LucasArts???

Star Wars is, but not necessarily Battlefront…I mean Pandemic (the guys that made the Battlefront series) essentially made a Lord of the Rings “Battlefront” a while ago. I’m sure if they really wanted to they could do Halo as well…I’d most definitely buy it 
I’ve been wanting something like that for a while now, ever since I first starting playing Halo in fact. It’d be really cool if the Forerunners were a playable faction, but if they were the Flood would probably have to be their enemies. I think it’d be pretty cool playing as the Flood too >:D
I was actually thinking though that Hunters might have to be a sort of vehicle though or something 
Like the Trolls/Ents in the Lord of the Rings one, 'cause the Hunters are pretty darn powerful, a little too powerful I think to be a standard unit. I’d want Spartans to playable too for the UNSC faction…like the Droideka or something, they don’t have their shield all the time, but they can have it as a special ability they can use…same with the Elites. The way I see the Elites and Spartans would essentially be equivalents to each other…and then the Brutes would be like the equivalent unit to the ODST or something. But a Halo: Battlefront would be fricken epic I’d definitely get it if they ever made one.
It would also work for space battles like in Battlefront 2 as the Halo universe almost has all the ships needed:
Phantom/pelican as transport ship,
Seraph/sabre as fighter,
Space banshee/crazy jet bike thingy as scout ship.
All it would need is some sort of bomber for both sides.
You mean “Star Wars Battlefront: Middle Earth”? In all seriousness, I thought the game was terrible. Truly terrible. The idea is fantastic, but it was basically just Star Wars Battlefield with a LOTR skin. If this were to be a gamestyle for a Halo game, I would want 343 to make it without Pandemic’s help. It’s possible to use the same mechanics without it being copyright infringement, and I wouldn’t want Halo put to the same shame that LOTR was.
343i may need to talk to LucasArts about that…
But it’s a great idea, but maybe a differen’t title so people don’t accuse the game copying Star Wars: Battlefront (People who don’t pay attention to news about the games and just buy the games when they see it). Sometimes I think about playing Halo-esque Battlefront. I just wish I had Battlefront 2 right now so I can get a better sense of what it might play out like. Hopefully I’ll get it Christmas, I believe it’s compatible with the Xbox 360 and eventually the 720, just like Republic Commando.

For the UNSC, the Bomber could be the Longsword, not sure about the Bomber, maybe the Covenant Space Banshee could be a Fighter and Bomber Hybrid, like the Cybran Gemini and the Illuminate Weedoboth (Illuminate units have funny names for some reason) from Supreme Commander 2.
Well they don’t need to have the name of “Halo battlefront” but a map with large scale combat, teamwork, and vehicle mayhem would be epic.
Maybe something along the lines of the halo 2 demo?

And instead of starting out as a unsc marine, have the factions start out as spartan II’s and III’s and 2 countering elites (1 heavy with no AA’s and one light with AA’s).
Spawn in a ship or in a ground base depending on the map, have a few weapons to select from, etc etc.
I’d buy a game like this, 343 should make it happen.
i want a halo battlefeild, marines, army troopers, ODSTs, army rangers (currently not canon) and S-IIIs vs all types of covies, XD, and most vehicles besides vultures, now that would be great
(on a ipad, hard to type, happy i didnt buy it)
ps, halo wars two should be a skin of supreme comander 1, fa and 2
I want this so much.
