I don't know if this idea is one that will fly with Bungie, but it's worth a shot. When I saw the incredible work done on the Halo short films by WETA, I thought of the great application this stuff could have for merchandising. With a co-op between Bungie and WETA, they could open a specialized combat simulation course that puts you in the action of a UNSC battle. The rounds would be paint rounds, and every player would be suited up as a UNSC soldier. The park staff would be the commanding Spartan II's and other employees would wear brute armor. The warthog can be available for liscensed teams, and custom pre-ordered games would allow you to actually play Halo matchmaking in the real world. The profitable potential for this kind of Halo "theme park" would be enormous, and work towards building attraction for the upcoming live movie. Have any ideas or suggestions? What would you do if this theme park became reality?
I would definitely add this theme park to my rather hefty "places to go before I die" list. Though I think it would be a nice touch if they allowed people to specialize, in a sense. Maybe have one team play covenant and the other play the UNSC-with different types of paintball weapons, of course. It might be rather difficult to conceptualize, however: A real-world paintball arena simply wouldn't be the same as Halo 3, and some of the weapons/equipment might not translate over very well to the real world. I'll post some of my ideas related to the theme park later.
agreed i'd be number 2 on my list tho, if it was number one i wouldn't be talking to you guys right now
That would be EPIC WIN! My friend turned his Tipmann 98 into a BR (with 3 rd. burst function) after Halo 2 came out, and it was sweet, and the ability to use it in a themed battle would be even cooler.
that's a great idea nemi, but with the paintball, being able to transfer H3 weapons into the real world so that they work, whilst still acting like H3 weapons would be extremely tough. perhaps a laser zone?
great minds think alike I suppose, I want to change my a-5 from a half modded m4 to a br, that would be so awsome, what body mods did he use?
That sounds great! I love paintball and go every chance i get and i would jump at the chance to try this And everybody here who likes paintball visit my Paintball vs Airsoft thread in off topic and vote for your favorite.
Lazer tag would be cooler. Can you say actual levels? I mean, you could have like, Snowbound as a lazer tag arena, and then even shield doors would work... and a ghost? If that is possible?
But the levels would be to costly to build when in paintball it would be cheap to organize the event and more realistic in terms of guns and atcualy shooting.
Well this is the closest thing i could find for halo event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsVs2zyN9RQ
ROFL, Spartan Laser Paintball gun. Imagine the poor person shot with that! Yea, this would be an amazing park.
This could be a start...the detail (the overheat function is awesome!) on these is amazing: http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/warfare/a1f7/
Sounds like it could be fun, but they could only recreate the smaller maps, it would have to be lazer to keep up with the specific amount of damage each weapon would use, paintball just wouldn't work well. OH and you said one team might have a hog? This is how that would go: Player 1 - "OMFG HOG!!!" Player 2 - "SHOTGUN!!" Enemy 1 - "OMG A VEHICLE---" THUD THUD Player 1 - "hahahahah Vehiclular manslaugher! Oh wait... ****!!!" Not to much fun for the people on foot.
