The spirit of fire uses one of these special features, this is slso seen in Halo Wars.

The basic idea of a rare equipment to call air support could definitely make BTB worth playing. A MAC strike may not be the best way to go about this however, due to the physics involved. It would be better if it were replaced with a Longsword/Seraph strafing/bombing run.

Cool idea, I'd love to see a big team battle map with this "Equipment" involved. Certainly would add another map control element to this game which would positively effect gameplay! And to all people, this is a multiplayer idea, so obviously it would be toned down from a "real" MAC affect.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] That guy1 aside from all the macs being pointed at the fleet it wouldn't matter because the ground forces primary objective was to take out the MAC generators, so not likely to happen, too bad though there's no sight compared to an entire column of infanry being blasted with a 200 tonne projectile[/quote] This feature is only for multiplayer, I stated it in the first paragraph of the OP. You are mixing [b]supposed canon[/b] with multiplayer gameplay. [Edited on 12.15.2009 8:02 AM PST]

I have an idea for a cool scene in campaign(i know you said its MP only but hear me out). Right so anyone who has played CoD 4 will understand this. remember when the tanker got MIG'd in CoD 4 and Soap got knocked over?(Mission "Crew Expendable") well think about this: The Scene is from FPV(first person view) Noble team are in a big battle with a lot of covenant i mean -blam!--loads of covenant and they have about 10-20 marines or something like that and then all of a sudden a MAC strike Slams into the ground really close to noble team and kills a few of the covies simultaneously and Noble 6(the lieutenant) is knocked to the ground(similar to soap.) what do you reckon?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] th3_pir4t3 Awesome idea, but the fatal flaw is which kind of MAC gun would be doing the supporting? A ship based MAC would work, it worked in Halo Wars. The problem? All the ships are in orbital combat on Reach. A Super MAC is just too powerful, it would shatter the continental plate for crying out loud. It can obviously vaporize a Covenant cruiser in a single blast. If the support weapon were some sort of MAC artillery or other artillery, then I think it would fit the canon better.[/quote] Yep, I'll explain this an OP update soon, another member and me are working on a video simulation. Yes the reticule need some work, you¡ll see it soon.

This looks cool ,but only for big maps

sry bud air support just doesnt sound like id fit in to the halo formula, its drastic. also ac130 rippppppp

corss hair needs some work.

Predator missiles, hammer of dawn, BF.Bad company UAV's, they are all based on the same:AIR SUPPORT and each of them has a personal style, just like the "MAC" of halo. [Edited on 12.14.2009 11:59 AM PST]

Dewd, play halo wars

5 meters is a rather small area. Really MAC would kill on around 50 meters around.

One of the best ideas in this forum! Good job! Like the pics too, they give a nice little explanation of what you want.
