BASIC IDEA: Attackers, using Falcons, must escort the bomb carrier from the island base to the entrance of the defenders base which is located on the cliff face.There is an entrance at the bottom of the base and a large staircase leading all the way to the top level where the Bomb Plant point is. DEFENDERS: Will spawn in 1 of 4 enclosed rooms that have windows overlooking parts of the staircase. They will also have a Shade Turret in order to shoot down incoming Falcons. ATTACKERS: Will spawn in a small base on the farside of the island. Out of the line of sight of the defenders. They will have 4-6 Falcons, depending on how may passengers can be seated in a Falcon if any at all, and must escort the bomb carrier into the enemy base. After that using various armor abilities that will be located at the entrance to the defenders base, they must climb the staircase and plant the bomb. GAMETYPE SPECIFICS: Loadouts will be turned off. And players will spawn with Assault Rifles and Plasma Pistols. Armor Abilities such as Drop Shield, Armor Lock, Active Camo, and Hologram will be located at the base of the staircase. Attackers will do less damage than the defenders mainly because i dont want attackers just trying to kill the defenders. I want them to depend on the armor abilities to help them get up the stairs. Well thats about it, im sure things will change after Reach is released. But this is one of my ideas for a fun gametype in Reach. Any more ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Looks pretty solid. I can feel this playing alot like pearl harbor in halo 3 which was great but the fact where you have to climb a giant staircase will provide some good, interesting gamepay too.
the stair case one u mentioned sounds like that campaign level form halo 3 i forget the name but its where your in the dessert and just b4 u go up a giant forerunner staircase looking thing there is a big tank battle with a scarab(how u know what level im talking about) sounds fun tho ! -skittles
This is going to be interesting Attackers storming a beach front seems like D-Day or Pearl Harbor. The staircase has to be built pretty well for both teams to have an equal chance at destroying or defending the bomb
