Online games

I love to play online. It is very enjoyable after a long hard day to vent pent frustrations on other tightly wound players. I enjoy it when people play together and work towards a common end. I miss however the feeling of working towards an long range goal kinda more single player style. What I mean is I would like to see a game where say two teams work towards a more scripted end. Lets say one team are the good guys aka space marines or stranded survivors and the other team are the get in your face monsters.
Now you have real players tring to get to say a base or ship and the other guys are working to stop you. It would be great if say the game was timed for whatever the majority ruled. So in other words they set up a game for 35 min. The teams go through the motions untill time is up or the other team reaches their goal. I know this is like assault but it would be deeper because you would have time for more planning. Just a thought.

Could you imagine the usual I'm gonna go off on my own yahoo guy runs off thengets penned up while the rest of the team reaches their goal. Then they decide to send 2 players out to rescue him while the others guard the ship. Maybe the others get swamped with enemy and have to decide wether to stick it out or leave. It would be very emotional and the game would suck you in I think. Is Halo going to be like this? I know UT could be with some modification. Any programmers out there who can shed some light here?
