This Big MP Experience...

we’ve been teased for months, but now we’ve been given something solid. The new, never-before-seen mode will feature all parts of the Halo sandbox. What immediately springs to mind is weapons and vehicles. But there has to be more to it than that, surely! Anybody got an idea? In any case, six days is too long. :slight_smile:

I agree its too long. Somehow to me this feels very battlefield-esque, maybe meaning we’ll have huge aerial battles as well as ground battles

Clearly it means that people invade your campaign and play multiplayer matches while others build the maps and throw wall grids at people as there are a ton of people filming live in theater. Gotta bring in every apect!

Meanwhile the Didact is fighting Guilty Spark to death in a match of Grifball and then Sarge comes and destroys the Grifball because it has “Grif” in the title and Church ends up being Medicant Bias and Blue Team plays against you in multiplayer and you just lose the game cause Master Chief is THE spartan.

It might mean that includes things like big open maps, ranks, ordnance drops, all vehicles and weapons, objectives (I’m thinking something similar to objectives in Invasion), and more. That’s what I think of when I hear “all parts of the Halo sandbox,” but if 6 days would just hurry up and pass, we could finally find out!

Halo Souls 5

It’s a space whale fight. I’m calling it now.

That’s what I was going with :slight_smile: How cool would it be if there was a boss controlled by other players though?

After getting Dark Souls free on Games for Gold, mashing my head repeatedly against the Gargoyles until they broke, having a guy bust in and beat me, the poor defenceless noob, practically back into the cell I came from was kind of the last straw for me.
That said, I’m not sure how a player boss would work in Halo. I mean, what if people start jumping/teabagging? Hella funny, but kind of an immersion breaker. XD

its probably something like BF’s conquest

This is what I’m hoping for. I’d probably never play another game again. The 4v4 arena stuff is already fantastic, but to have a large scale MP along with it… would be too much to handle aha

What about that forgotten Halo 3 Gametype that never released? If I remember correctly.

It’s the “all” part there that I’m curious about.

We’ve always had access to Warthogs and Scorpions and so on, but it seems like we could be getting something bigger than 8v8, and an excuse to have Pelicans and Phantoms and the like.

Or, possibly its still 8v8 but AI support both teams. Or somewhere in the middle of the two.

I still want A.I. bots for offline mutliplyer since I’m not really a multiplayer person. Closest thing was firefight and Spartan-OPs but not quite the same. I know Bungie and 343 could have done it and can do it for Halo. It’s just a matter of wanting to do it. But I know whatever it is they are teasing has nothing to do with bots. I have no guesses as to what it is…

They said all parts of the Halo Sandbox. When I hear this I’m thinking BTB objective with PvP and PvE. I hope my hopes aren’t too high.

All aspects of the Halo Sandbox. The sandbox includes all weapons and all vehicles and full exploration. Now this could mean all in Halo 5 in general, meaning phantoms, longswhords, pelicans, and etc. OR it could mean a place where all of Halo’s multiplayer components are accessible in this one mode. I feel that 343i is keeping this a secret because it is the former with having a sandbox including all legendary weapons, regular weapons, vehicles of all sizes, and on maps on a very large scale. I don’t think the sandbox includes enemy players meaning there likely won’t be A.I. in the game but you may not need it if you have team sizes that are large enough.

The ‘whole sandbox’ definitely means all weapons and vehicles. I wouldn’t be shocked at all if there were plenty of new vehicles (aircraft, Forerunner).

Factions (UNSC, Cov, Forerunner) would make a lot of sense in that setting.

I am so very excited to learn more!

Add a few legions of Blind Wolves in there and a maybe a Space Eel and you got yourself a gamemode.

I’m hoping for large scale battles, UNSC VS Covenant. Board and destroy a Covenant ship or excavate Forerunner artifacts whilst repelling the UNSC. Finding a Forerunner weapons cache and accidentally releasing the flood.

My ideas could be too ambitious :confused:

I’m guessing it will be conquest like. meaning large scale warfare. with vehicles like pelicans finally being in MP and maybe having AI controlled units. something similar to titanfalls random AI guys.

We already have had game modes that incorperate all of the MP aspects before. So i’m guessing it’s pulling some things from single player as I mentioned. But also maybe it has multi tiered objectives similar to invasion.
