i know alot of people have been talking about how someone should make a map with a drivable POA. it could fire the MAC gun, yadayadayada. what good does it do you to fire it if theres nothing to fire at? hence comes my idea. Build a map in space with a Pillar of Autumn and a covenant ship like Truth and Reconciliation. only, instead of them just sitting there providing fighting platforms, they could be vehicles. drivable and able to be shot from vehicles. there could be areas inside for people to sit down once they start moving so they dont fall out and die or start sliding across the floor. they could be piloted from their actual control rooms(duh). They wouldnt go very fast and wouldnt be very manuverable, just enough so that your not sitting still in space. There would be reinforced glass forming the control rooms that, unlike in POA Space, could shatter if fired upon enough.
now about the weapons on the ships. the POA could have the MAC gun and like 5 salvos of rockets to fire at the Covie ship, and the Covie ship could have plasma turrets that can overheat if fired too long. not the cheesy barely-do-any-damage crap thats in halo 2, but actual, powerful, destructive plasma turrets like in the books, kinda like the scarab gun. both would cool down/come back after about a minute. now, of course, they wouldnt destroy the POA, but instead pretty much kill anyone they strike(for example in the POA's control room). As a secondary weapon, it could have the cheesy barely-do-any-damage crap thats in halo 2
. The POA would only have human weapons/vehicles (such as the Pelican 
) on it and the Covie ship would only have covie weapons/vehicles (such as the Covie Dropship ) on it. also there would have to be a Pilot and about 3 Gunners for the ships to be completly effective.Now, for one of the more complicated things i thought of. The Covie ship could have a weak energy shield covering most of it. By weak, i mean about as strong as the Chiefs shields are, pretty much just to make it more like the book. it would cover most of the ship, except for designated areas where dropships/banshees/other things could land. there would then be a small tunnel leading you into an area that is shielded. the shields wouldnt recharge as fast as cheifs do, tho, it would take about 4 times as long(for obvious reasons). it would also be sort of a curse as well as a blessing. for example, the shields would stop enemy fire coming from the top of the POA, but it would also prevent you from firing back unless you want to destroy your own protection.
Each ship could also have a small hangar with the vehicles parked in it.
Now, i doubt most of what ive said so far is doable, but if it is, even this next part will probably be extremely difficult for any team who takes the job, even if its possible. The red team would spawn on the POA and the blue team would spawn on the Covie ship. the hard part would be that altho the red team would still be Spartans, the blue team would be Elites.
Again, im not sure if any of the above is possible. I know that even if it were, there would be some glitches. However, i encourage any team who feels up for it to take the job. if someone does, i wouldnt mind credit for the idea
. let me know what you think.
