make a football game type thing in blood gulch! I've always wanted to do that! =)

that actually sounds pretty interesting

But I'll save that for another time.

My friend made that in H3. It was an amazing game. The ball was oddball, and the endzone was edge of map. We had swords, so a tackle was 1-KO.
Awesome game, we played it for hours.
Back on topic, do you want a CE or PC mod? For PC, do a night themed chaotic Team AI on death island. Yes, I know, Team AI has been done 1000 times before. This time, add a theme to it. Inject some scenery, a flightbomber, fire emitter, etc. Add a lot of AI with a purpose. Flood, Human, Covenant, Sentinal. Death Island is big enough to handle that. Make it as much fun as you can. I haven't seen this so far.

I try to stay away from PC AI.

Im not looking for a full fledged mod idea, just bits and pieces of things youd like to see. I already planned on adding fire/pelicans/fighterbombers as scenery, not vehicles

With a close by crashed pelican with a wounded marine or 2 sitting there and some other dead ones

Ok will do. I got an idea for the theme of the map to be surviving a crash site, I'm gonna work with that. What kind of weapons, vehicles stuff like that do you guys want? And no driveable pelis/fighterbombers/dropships/lifepods

drivable pelis/fighterbombers/dropships/lifepods! rofl just kidding but hmm... maybe some sort of futurish lasers? lol

You should remodel the flood infection form to be a big spider and then reskin Ice Fields or Danger Canyon to be like a cave-ish kind of thing where you have all these AI spiders everywhere and a team of AI marines.
Idk, it could be cool

Spartans and marines fighting off spiders... wow
Yes, the crashed vehicle idea is good. Add in scenic emitters, like water spray, fire, spark, etc.
You know what would be new? I have seen 100000 maps skinned ice or snow style. Now skin you map like its burned out. Add some fire emitters in. Make the theme a fire storm.

You should have a clock that counts to 108 minutes and if you don't push the button a beam emitter goes off and blows up the entire island! =)

of course that would just be an easter egg! =)

there should be this big grunt war with 300 grunts on each side!

Rofl... Most computers won't be able to handle the lag unless its done on deathisland or some map equally big. If that case, do jackals vs grunts. There was a real war like that in covenant history. Or hunter vs elites.
On the other hand, he just said he doesn't want to do Team AIs

Stop Suggesting AI Hamster clearly said he was trying to stay away from AI in general, not just team.

Ok, so what I've gotten since I said I dont want an AI mod, was 3 suggestions to make an AI mod, two giving good input, and one with a very funny idea from a very good TV show, that actually made me laugh a bit.

Ok, basically what Im thinking is to make a map on something like timberland, with crashed dropships, re-skin the map to be "darker", and add in futuristic weapons.

Ok, now let's ask a more direct question:

1) Name a few weapons you'd like to see in here, and give a brief description if it's something totally new.

And yes, please stop suggesting AI. It's not happening.
