Hey, here's a neat Game Mode Idea.

So, hear me out, what do you think of a game mode where you have two teams playing as the UNSC and the Covenant? Working a bit like Gears of War’s beast mode in terms of the selection of characters? ex. First tier of UNSC characters has Marines, Medic Marines, Warthogs, and Mongeese. First tier of Covenant characters has Grunts, Suicide Grunts, Jackals, and Ghosts.
And each higher tier (Up to tier 4) has better characters, but requires you to reach a certain number of points. The characters will also cost points, with characters from higher tiers being more expensive, obviously. Both teams will fight over control of a large map, just like Warzone. In fact, it should be like a different Warzone mode. Just, without REQs due to how the mode works. I just thought of this today, and wanted to see if people would like this idea. If I see enough of a positive response, I’ll create a poll for this so I can see more accurate results.

You would have to make a whole other game for this. Like a fps halo wars. I’d play it.

sounds like invasion

Why would you need a whole other game? Like I had referenced, GoW did this just fine, just not applied to two teams of human players. And that was back on Xbox 360. Xbox One is more capable of doing larger things. So… It’d be entirely possible.

He means in terms of covies vs UNSC but next level

Sounds neat…could be fun to play …

I guess in that sense, then yeah.

that would be awsome

As an additional bonus, there should be A.I. on each team (Like Battlefront, but with that leveling REQ-like system it would be better).

I’ve had similar ideas to this! I’ve always thought it would be super dope to pull a hunter out of the garage as its own vehicle or something likewise…

That would take like a year to make

This sounds similar to Natural Selection just without the RTS element. It’s a great idea OP

A game where you get to play as marines would be awesome. Rather than making that one function of an upcoming game it would be awesome to have an entire game with a single player campaign where you play as marines. It’d be more strategic, squad based. Kinda like a Halo take on Ghost Recon. It would allow them to include more gameplay elements to compensate for it like taking cover, going prone, air support (seriously how cool would it be to see a huge covenant force coming at you and your team and calling in a pelican to gun them down?!). To make it a little more of a different experience to Halo it could be third person.

But that aside, your horde/firefight idea sounds awesome. If you earn more points to unlock characters perhaps you could also earn them to unlock different kinds of mission support. So if, for example you’re playing as the covenant and earn a certain amount of points you then are able to call in some off-map wraith artillery.

However, as much as it is a fantastic idea, 343 would have to get it right. I mean they’ve done a fantastic job so far, but with such a new kind of gameplay it would need things to make it definitively Halo. Having it playing like another Gears of War, Battlefield or Battlefront would cheapen it. But otherwise, I’d love to see something like this being developed.

I think saying that 343 has done a fantastic job so far with their games is a bit of an aggresive statement.

The good thing about a game like this is that 343 can’t somehow screw up anything having to do with Master Chief.

Oh, I wasn’t claiming it to be fact. I’m very aware that they have their critics, and I can see why. I’d be lying if I said I was 100% satisfied with the way they’ve handled Chief’s character. But on the whole, I think their games are great.

kool, great idea, so like invasion

kinda reminds me of a halo game i plan to work on when im out of school
