Instead of just having marines how about medics to heal you and fellow marines in combat and possibly mechanics that could repair vehicles that would be cool and would keep the marines alive longer.

I think it would be cool but i don't think there should be engineers because if youve noticed none of the human vehicles an be destroyed but the medic idea would be cool because in multi player people could decide if they want to be a medic intsead of a spartan or elite

dude where the he** have you been

SB-117

But all vehicles are destructible. Mechanics seems very improbable I dont think you can repair vehicles! medics seem more likely though but I doubt they'll heal you, i think they'll be there for the immersion into a beleivable situation.

Actually, in Halo 2, the warthog can be destroyed. Not sure about the tank or any other vehicles that may be in Halo 2 though. Anyway, how about every once-in-a-while you can find some kind of repair kit or something. They said that MC would get "tools" somewhere. Might just be easier to grab another damn puma though. I mean warthog. I like RVB way too damn much.

Yes the medic idea would be great in MP but you could also add mechanics to... just for the hell of it.

in halo 1 when marines are hurt they say they need a medic so where were they i think if you are going around with a squad of marines there should be a medic as well to heal hurt marines but how will a medic heal cheif if he is wearing his armour

The medics could use that foam stuff they use in the books to heal the marines and MC.

If you get shoot they take a needle type thing inject it in the plasma or needle wound and fill it with this foam stuff that holds for some amount of time and prevents infection and gets rid of the pain and stops the bleeding.

Its not like starcraft at all stracraft they used some sort of cheap laser thing and it is fairly realalistic I mean they wont get rid of medics in 500 years they do serve a purpose.

Having medics to keep marines fighting longer sounds cool but ye, the chief can heal himself just as well. as an idea it would be good if you could hold medi pacs and use them when needed. in the first halo there were often medi pacs when you has full health but you could have done with them later on. even if they took up a weapon space. it would be quite tactical.

Allthough having medic's etc is a good idea Halo isn't a game where you select a character class.

There are many online games where you select a class of soldier - and even though this is good for many reasons halo has allways been about balance and equality.

Allthough medics would be ok, just having different types of player would really upset the gameplay and i don't think its in halo's style to have character classes.

Well in multiplayer what you could have is something resembling a back pack and it carried like 3 medpacs you could use them or through them to a friend this is balanced because obviosly you can't fight with a med pacso it takes up one whole weapon slot and it would encourage teamwork in MP Imagine charging the base in BG with your BR then a sniper hits you in the leg you think your done for you cry medic and a warthog comes up preventing the sniper from hitting you as a spartan carrying a medical pouch hops out gives you a medpac and moves on Yes MC is trained to heal himself but a medic could give him a med pac when he needed it. So in campaign and in MP it would be fair.
