Ultimate Map: Shipmaster, (space battles, close quarters combat)

Halo 4 needs the ultimate map, The ultimate in forging experience.

So I have an idea for a map I will call now code name: Shipmaster

non-cannon description:
" Though the Ark is destroyed lone groups of Covenant forces engage the remaining groups of UNSC forces retreating back to Earth. Some choose to stay and fight despite having their ships damaged and their M.A.C cannons offline. 8-16 players"

Here is what the map should look kind of like (using a Halo Wars corvette)

About the Map:
The map consists of a UNSC frigate, a debris field, and a covenant corvette.

The map has 4 different ways to play.

  • UNSC- all players can battle inside the UNSC frigate.
  • corvette- all players spawn inside the covenant corvette
  • debris field- players spawn and battle in the zero-G debris field
  • full battle- players can battle in the entire map using ships and in-ship combat.

Vehicles:
light
UNSC: Sabers, Pelicans
Covenant: Phantons, space banshees (with sheilds)
Heavy:
UNSC: Longsword (max 2), Pelicans, Sabers
Covenant: Banshees, Seraphs, Phantoms

going outside:
as seen in the Halo 4 trailer, Spartans and covies get zero G thrusters like the Reach jetpack that let them hop on Debris and actually walk on top of the coie and UNSC frigates to engage in exciting combat.

Invasion 2.0:

UNSC forces send a small Pelican into the harbor bay to detonate and destroy the Crovette. :stuck_out_tongue:

Covenant go into the Frigate to destroy the ships slipspace drive.

End:

Thank you guys for reading this, if you have any questions and concerns please post and get the word out.

So…much…win…

Thanks, I wish more people would reply to this though. :confused:

It would be awesome if 343i saw it and made it.

This would be awesome if similar to swbf2 space battles

> This would be awesome if similar to swbf2 space battles

Exactly and it would work good with Halo’s gameplay.

just need to point that its a covenant destroyer, not corvette

I had a similar idea with reach’s Ardenant prayer (that is the corvette you blow up in long night of solace, isn’t it?). I really want this to happen.It could really work if they agusted the HUD a little.
BTW-so…much…epicness

Love the idea, even if they but a small bit of space combat in I would be happy.

This reminds me of the days of Star Wars Battlefront 2 space battles… I’d fully support this!

Completely agree with this, Halo needs some more innovative game modes like this to keep interest.

Yep, I want to take it a step farther and not only have inside ship combat and dogfights but airlocks and exiting vehicles so we can fight in space.

We could use thruster packs like in the trailer and fly around on the ship, on debris, and hijack space Pelicans. :wink:

But we have a chance now with Halo 4.

I like the concept, but I don’t know how it could be implemented Halo wise. It seems like it’d be 90% vehicle based which wouldn’t work very well in the context of Halo

Ehh seems good but I don’t know. Maybe this would work with a game based solely on this.

Great idea. I have wanted this since H2. Sadly, you will prob have to wait for next Gen hardware for epic battles like that. Xbox 720 can’t come soon enough.
