Different Idea for a Halo League
Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2004 9:03 pm
Well in a lot of public forums, such as this one, there are clan forums. In many of these I see 'sniper for hire' 'driver for hire'. Well, we all know of course, no one is really hired. Right?
Well I had an idea. No, not real money, that would not only shoot kids away from the idea, but it would also detract most audiences.
Instead - fake money.
I was thinking it would run similiar to the NFL, or NHL, or MLB.
To start it, there would be 32 teams. There would be two divisions, east and west, 16 teams each.
400 guys would start out. They each are drafted, costing 1000 credits each. A teams salary cap starts at 6000 credits.
As guys do well in tournaments, matches, ladders, and 1v1, there price increases.
I don't know how to do the scale, and it would take a lot of weighting between kills/assists/deaths/caps, to make a nice balance.
But eventually teams salary caps go up, and guys cost more. I think what this would help to do is balance the game out. You can't have a clan of 10 uber guys, because your salary cap is going to be say 70K, and that #1 guy is 40K alone.
It would encourage practicing and teamplay.
What do you guys think of this idea?
