I was thinking the other day and what came to me was a playlist/gametype that requires a mic to play in. Also you cannot be in party chat while in this, kind of like how MW2 did it not to long ago. Do people agree with me?
i think a teamwork-based gamemode would be good to encourage ppl to use their mics. but then again theres annoying kids, people with a kinect, and annoying kids with a kinect.
I’m not at all a fan of CoD multiplayer but I have always had a soft spot for Search and Destroy in which you have one life and had to communicate with team mates in order to play. I have always wondered how a Search and Destroy esc gametype would work in Halo.
I guess we could have something like 1 flag CTF just it works like Speed Stockpile in which the flag is automatically picked up but isn’t carried by the player. This allows the flag carrier to use his weapons (assuming the flagnum is removed which I really hope happens). Radar would be disabled and the flag carrier would not have a marker above his/her head. 5v5 would seem appropriate and 6 may be pushing it. There would be no power weapons on the map and players loadout with only the choice of a primary weapon (BR, AR, Carbine), a Magnum and 1 frag grenade. when round is over (flag has been capped or team has been taken out) teams switch sides.
I can imagine it now on Abandon. The attackers would spawn at beach (where they would also need to return the flag). The defenders and flag will spawn at top gold giving them the height advantage making the attacking harder.
Or we could just have a Slayer 1 life based game like Paintball, just with more players. This is a cool example.
