Imagine if 343 went through with this, made it work?
With enough precision, tuning and well structured ideas they could make it difficult where as it’s incredibly hard to beat the game with PUGS.
Add amazing rewards, (this could solve the “problem” that everyone is complaining about, “You don’t get armor for completing challenges” and all that stuff).
Let’s for an example say that the flaming recon helmet made it’s return, and the only way you could get this obtain this was by completing a incredible battle of 24 spartans vs huge amount of roided AI. When you see someone with the flaming recon in the Arena you would go “aw -Yoink- that guy beat XX Battle I wish I was good enough to beat it as well!”
With a good enough CLAN interface (Halo 2 had a pretty good one, but would maybe need a little bit work on, like ingame quickie forum tile posts or schedules etc). Add in stuff like; “top clans, fastest clan to beat XX Battle, Top Overall Arena rated Clan” list goes on and on.
I think that a new and incredible community could emerge, and this is needed, because let’s face it. Clans have not been a part of halo in a loooong time, and the ones that are don’t get noticed at all, also our community is -Yoink- and embarrassing.
I have so many ideas in my head and honestly the thought of this have gotten me as excited as when halo 2 was about to be released.
Imagine this,
An enlarged Blood gulch, your objective is to get to the other side of the map where say the Prophet is stationed, protected by highest of ranked elites.
while working your way to their base there’s wraiths, snipers on the canyons, scarabs, wraiths, cloaked elites, banshees flying around.
And 24 spartans working together, some in a hornet, some taking care of the snipers, a bigger group taking care of the scarabs.
