Sacrifice (may change name if a better one comes up)
Concept idea for a new mode
Based on the campaign Librarian Memory sequence
Concept- A survival mode that doesn’t end till you and your team die from the Flood (The Halo Arrays fire)
Description- The Spartan fire team(you decide) enters a Forerunner construct and accidently re activate an ancient ancilla that links all the Spartans to the last moments of the Forerunners memories .The Forerunners have lost and the remaining survivors huddle in their defensive place as the flood pours in. The Halo Arrays are charging and readying to fire. This is not about survival the Forerunner race this is the last fight the end of the forerunners.
The Classes
The Builder Security- The builder Security an architect of the Forerunner Empire’s defense is also the architect of its people’s demise. The builder Nightborn lost his people, his home, and his way of life… but he hasn’t lost his family and fights for them. (When the Halo Array finally fires he has a holo link with his family showing them disappear like composing then he himself and he flood invading disappear in a flash)
Abilities- Construction- Construction allows for the creation of specialized constructs ranging from Turrets to Synthetic Constructs.
Construction type Turrets- Nightborn can create a turret a specified local that can be upgraded and repaired/reconstituted by watchers.
How upgrading would work- When using the D-pad selection for turret you look at the turret you want to upgrade and press the D-pad selection.
Construction type Sentinels-Nightborn can teleport in sentinel class constructs to assist in the defense.
How Sentinels would work- Using the D-pad look at any location and a group of sentinels will appear to assist by either repairing defenses or attacking enemy forces same upgrading method works.
Construction type Promethean-Nightborn has access to the Didacts elite warrior constructs and can teleport them into assist in the defense.
How Prometheans would work/Upgrade- Same as the Sentinels
Construction type Weapon pack teleport pad-The builder can teleport in a weapon teleport pad for allies to use to teleport in new weapons.
How the teleport pad would work- Players would use the pad to use points they’ve accumulated to get new weaponry or ammo for their current weaponry.
How upgrading the teleport pad would work- As the teleport pad is upgraded heavier weaponry will be teleported in. (Weapons would be randomly selected with heavier weaponry being harder to get)
Recycling- Anytime there is excess weaponry on the field you can chose to recycle these weaponry for resources needed for construction.
The Promethean Hunter-The Promethean named The Hunter was deemed by the Didact too important to join the other Prometheans in composition and instead sent him to fight and coordinate the Forerunner forces in threat of the Floods advance. His title was earned by his ability to ruthlessly kill Flood key targets and escape unseen. He has nothing left in this world but his people and will do anything to protect them. (His death scene involves watching the last of the Forerunner people being vaporized)
Abilities-
Advanced Camouflage-The Hunter can remain completely cloaked while moving and running and firing (this deception doesn’t mean you can walk into the enemy wave and snipe everything.)
The Lifeworker- The Lifeworkers were the saviors of all life protecting and evolving it now with the Halo Array the Lifeworkers final project was to save life. The Lifeworker Life given to the Mantle had finished his goal and saved the last of the index now with nowhere left to flee he heals the mortally wounded and injured soldiers helping ease the last of their pain. With nothing left to save he helps the others in the defense helping his fellow Forerunners. (His death scene would be watching his fellow comrades be vaporized in front of him knowing he could do nothing to avoid this fate.)
Abilities-
Advanced Regeneration Field- The deployable field grants temporary Overshields as the users are in the field once they leave the field the Overshield is gone.
The Promethean Warrior- When the Didact was originally attempting to make himself immune to the Flood he experimented on his fellow Prometheans. Fallen born of light, one of the elite Prometheans was among the first to assist the Didact in the experiment. While Fallen was considered a failure his brevet mutation allowed him to have an increased combat efficiency against the Flood. Due to the nature of the Flood the Didact informed Fallen that should the Flood ever attempt to infect him his suits ancilla would begin an immediate self-termination to prevent the flood from using his brevet mutation against the Forerunner people. (His death scene is that a flood forcibly attempts to infect him and he then hears his ancilla telling him goodbye.)
Abilities-
Telekinetic Push/Pull- Fallen can use his brevet mutation to either pull an enemy towards him or forcibly send an enemy flying away. Using the D-pad you can change the polarity from push to pull.
Enemy Types-
Flood-
Infection Form- Simple infection form easily destroyed
Combat Form-These are infected Human and Forerunner people who have been turned against their own people to further spread the infection. Combat forms come in two varieties ranged and melee forms.
-Combat Form Ranged- These combat forms use ranged weaponry to attack you.
-Combat Form Melee- These human combat forms have lost the ability to use ranged weaponry and has grown blades out of their arms to slice enemies to pieces.
Carrier Forms- These combat forms bodies have lost their utility and have become mobile suicide infection spreading Flood bombs. When they detonate they release multiple infection forms.
Pure Forms- These Flood are not made from host infection but the very Flood mass itself and have the ability to transform their forms. These types of flood are very deadly and require heavy weaponry to destroy.
-Tank Form-This juggernaut is a heaving mass of destruction that will rip anything near it to bloody shreds.
-Stalker Form-These annoying pure forms harass and sneak upon you defenses. While less armored and easier to destroy, this type will become bothersome to destroy.
-Ranged Form-This form of pure form relies on firing spines at enemies as their only means of offense.
-Mortar form- The tripod like Mortar form releases explosive spores at the players position and must be destroyed if defenses are to be made safe. These forms transform directly from ranged forms.
Juggernaut Form- This beast of the flood forms is rarely encountered and is incredibly deadly. This form uses whip arms to smash defenses to rubble and splatter defenses to paste.
Renegade Forerunner Sentinels-
Sentinel-Average sentinel that has fallen under the control of Medicant bias consider it a threat.
Sentinel Major- An enhanced version of the average sentinel that takes much more punishment and can dish it out even more.
Enforcer Sentinels- These colossal Sentinel constructs are forward shielded and require heavy ordnance to destroy you have been warned.

but glad you like it. Also you’d be surprised people like the forerunner aesthetic, the main difference though between firefight and this is that firefight has a pre set amount of waves this one the waves get bigger and bigger and bigger till your team dies.
