If you where on bungie.net during the last few months of 2009, no doubt you would have seen a post by a member who if i remember correctly was named ujjval16, he had a great idea for a gamemode that could have been added to reach, however, Bungie did not put it into reach,
since then, his account has been deleted, and he is no longer a member of Bungie.net, however, his idea still remains.
with that said i figured i would repost his epic idea here, in hopes that 343 will put it into Halo 4
the original thread on Bungie.net can be found Here, as you can see, his idea got around 19.000 votes, 17.00o of those votes wanted the new gamemode to be added, and only around 2.000.
here is the original post

> Ok, first of all I would like to say that this is a new game mode, not the entire multiplayer experience. It gets it’s own special spot on the main menu, along with forge and theater. This game mode would have to have large teams, probably like 20 vs 20, and it would only be possible with dedicated servers, due to lag.

> So this is how the game begins. I can’t find the thread for it but somebody came up with the idea of spawning in a UNSC cruiser(or a Covenant one) and entering the battlefield with a HEV. I like this idea. So the game starts off with both teams in a UNSC cruiser. You have to find a HEV pod and go down to “The Perfect Map”

> “The Perfect Map” is a map, imo, that utilizes everything. That means every weapon, and vehicle. That means that the map must have large open areas for snipers, vehicles ect… but, it must also have tight areas where the shotgun would be the best weapon, and everything in between. It would be a hard map to make but I believe Bungie would be able to pull it off.

> When you enter the map you will start off with normal team slayer. The score will be 200. Once you’re team scores 200 kills, you will be given a bomb, and you must finish up the game with a game of assault. However you will ONLY be given the bomb if you reach 200 kills. If blue team has 200, but red team only has 150, then the red team won’t be given a bomb. Once red team also get 200, the get their own bomb.

> Now there has to be a few twists. A big one I think would be adding Campaign scoring. so every time you kill somebody you get points, and you get more points when you get medals. Now obviously these points can be used for bragging rights, but maybe they can do more. Ok lets say you were doing really good, you just got a killing frenzy, but you died. You have a lot of points, because you got 10 kills, and not to mention the medals. So you spawn in the cruiser, but instead of going straight down, you go to a weapons shop. With those points you can buy a secondary weapon. Now I bet the thing I just said probably made 50% of the Halo Reach forum’s population get mad, but just bare with me. These weapons would be expensive, so even though you got 10 kills, maybe you only have enough points for a Battle Rifle, or Carbine. In order for you to get a sniper, you would have to have way more points. However to keep it fair you can only buy 1 weapon at a time, so you can’t go down with a sniper and rockets. Don’t worry though, there will still be weapons on the map.

> Now if you have been reading this far and aren’t mad at me, you might like what’s next. Ever been in the position where you need a vehicle, except you can’t find one. Well I think we should be able to call in vehicle drops, from a pelican. You would obviously call in the drops using your points. So lets say I called in a pelican to drop me a mongoose. I would have to hold my position, for 30 seconds, until the pelican comes. If I die, the pelican will come anyway, and drop the vehicle, anybody would be able to take it.

> So that is the basic of the mode I am thinking of. Obviously there are problems with this idea, like communicating with a team of 20 but people have said a squad system might work. So yeah, this is my idea, and tell me what you think.

> Oh and if you want to see everyone’s idea’s, go to page 8 and go to AbruptArc’s post. Also I highly recommend you guys look at Half Demon ANBU’s post on page 10. I would post them, but I don’t have enough room. Ok, I have gotten a lot of post saying I’ve copied this idea from Section 8, and I would like to say I didn’t. I had no idea what Section 8 was when I made this thread. I just found out about it when someone mentioned it a couple of pages on, and I then googled it. I watched some gameplay videos and all I found similar was dropping from orbit(in Section 8, it’s more like the sky). And so I am sorry if this idea isn’t “New” enough for you guys. Next time I make a thread about a new idea, I’ll make sure no other game has ever done it before.
now that you have seen the post for yourself, would you like this gamemode to be added into halo 4? do you have any suggestions on how this idea can be improved? post below.
