Well, I've had an idea for a cool mod for a while now....

I saw the ascendant justice mod thing today, and it freaked me out, making me think before long someone would think of my idea themself. So I thought I'd post it before that happened.

I would just like to point out that, had I been able to make this myself, I would. But since I cant get any of my HEK crap to work properly, and I dont have the hard drive space, I figured I'd post it and find someone who would make it themselves.

Anyway, here it is:

It would be a HUGE map, with two giant ships, one being Human, one being Covenant. A team of 8 people per side would command each ship. One teammate would pilot the ship, and the other 7 would control turrets/big ship weapons(I.E. the MAC or Plasma Torpedo). Each team's ship would try to outmanuever and damage the other ship to the point of explosion. Once the ship's "health" is depleted, it would blow up in one huge blast. (For video card lag reasons, the blast wouldnt be visible to the exploded ship's occupants. Only the winning team would be treated to the spectacular blast) The only decent way to play this map would be a team slayer, obviously. And it wouldnt REQUIRE 8 people, I think 2 on 2(One Pilot, one Gunner, like in a warthog fight) would be good, but three on three would be better.


This is just an idea, but I thought it sounded great so I wanted to post it. I know this is Halomods, and flaming is something that comes with the territory here, but please, if you are gonna reply to this topic, at least try to make a coherent, useful post. Dont say something like "u r so gay rfol i think your diea scks". Please dont. That would be counterproductive.

Well, heres the thing. it would be real fun for a couple times and then get boring. I would probably think it was pretty cool though. Correct me if im wrong, Is it even possible to end a match when you destroy something. Or would you have it where the people who get blowed up respawn somewhere and get in another ship and ocme back out? But then the other team would be weaker.... I dunno sounds like an idea.

See, it would be TeamSlayer, and each player would have one life. and as we all know, in team slayer, once the other team has no spawns left, the team with players still standing wins. Also, I know a vehicle can have a health meter, because a few months ago before HCE was released, someone made a warthog that explodes and becomes unusable if you shoot it enough. It wasnt a pretty sight, but it proves that it IS possible to have multiplayer vehicles become unusable via their own destruction.

yea dude thats a pwnzor idea. heres somthing to add: [note you must have read the latest halo book to understand this] when a ship is damaged then show like those little purple fix-it guys floood out and attempt to fix it. they would prolly just be moving bitmaps or somthing if thats possible. they would be tiny so you would only see them as little specs in teh distance on the justice. and same thing for the humans except they are in little pods that have like little arms coming out so they make repairs to the PoA. mabye have it so like if they arent killled and are allowed ot work for like 10 minutes the ship willl recover a bit of health. but this is actually a kinda stupid idea cus ud have to make AI on all of them so if theres a way you can do it w/o ai then put it in cus itd be cool.

The AI wouldnt work, for one, and for two, all those little repair drones/covvie engineers on peoples screen would totally screw with the video card framerate. Also it would probably make the game really laggy.
