Imagine having space multiplayer combat in Halo

That's pretty much the reason why I'm on the fence about Halo 5. With Battlefront coming out in the same year I really don't see the point of getting Halo 5 when it's still going to be the same shit since 2001.

It would be the most erotic thing ever done in the halo franchise.

(Because really, who cares about that crew requirement? It's either different ship or LS that can be piloted by 1,+ Gunner)

Divide the game in half, the arena has your small symmetrical maps. Something like "warfare" that Halo 2 was supposed to have would be large scale battles on massive maps. It does feel like we're getting the same old multiplayer. Dream map would be akin to SWBFII's space battles. Imagine a team of 32 Spartans vs 32 Elites, each team spawns in their respective ship. Now that would seem next gen to me.

Yes, i would rather have something like this, we did get 8v8 in reach, thats cool, i rather have something very big, so a 32v32 is a must play, i like Halo but it does get old quick once you realize it.

Same here. I find large scale games a lot funner simply because there's more going on in them, there's more things to do and it feels like a battle is going on. Like you I like Halo but doing the same shit since 2001 gets old fast. I can only do 8v8 so very long until it gets repetitive due to the lack of exciting things.

What would you rather play? Some 8v8 game that barely has vehicle combat or some large scale game that has vehicle combat being a good portion of it?

It would be fun, how big do you think they could have the lobby sizes? 16? 8v8?

Custom Edition has your longsword, and it's driveable.

I know it sounds bad but BF4 really did nail the team sizes and inclusion of an additional commander slot, carrier assault (Battlefront 2 space battles but with aircraft carriers essentially) is superb. I think that surely a 16v16 mode or perhaps, as an experiment one of two 32v32 maps, would be very interesting-in the vein of BF2.

Oh, and anyone remember that game mode from Reach? The Elites vs Spartans one that ALWAYS ended up taking place on Spire?

That's it, wasn't such a bad game-mode with some good guys in your lobby

I could probably whip something like that up, using Unity or Unreal (provided we're not talking about entering and exiting the ships and playing Halo on foot as well). I have Longsword models, and third person ship-shooters aren't that hard to make. I'd probably end up using the most time in making a polished system for matching people together. Only real problem would be making art that looks nice, and special effects.
