Sorry if this has been posted before, but im new and I dont think there is a topi search?
Do you guys think halo 2 or even halo should have class based multiplayer, e.g. sniper class - comes with sniper rifle, pistol 4 plasma nades.
Even if you dont think its a good idea, maybe have it as an option, i think it would allow new weapons to be put into halo 2's multiplayer. For instance some people say they would like to have a plasma sword in multiplayer, but I think anyone with a plasma sword is going to get shot easily, as they have to be very close to use the sword. But if the multiplayer had class based games, then you could have a melee class for example, this class would be armed with a plasma sword - 50% more health than a normal class, and would spawn with an overshield straight away.
Dont get me wrong I like to be able to just run around picking up any gunI want but this could add something more to the multiplayer. It would give players a feeling that they are working as a team, as each class would have its own roll, also it would give players a sense of individuality as each class has its own weapons combinations and starts with different power ups.
Here are some ideas for classes. (Just some i thought up whilst typing this)
Infiltrator/ Flag thief : -
Weapons: 4 plasma nades, shotgun
Power up's: Active camoflauge, motion cloak (Just an idea, it sops your motion from registering unless you enter a vehicle or pick up the flag.)
Engineer
Weapons: 4 Frag grenades, battle rifle, pistol
Items: wrench (if vehicles are destructible the wrench lets engineer fix them)
power ups: Ammo respawn ( Ever 30 seconds the engineers ammo increases up to a certain limit.)
Just some of my ideas. I know this may take away the true halo feeling, or make halo seem to arcadey like battlefield 1942 or Team Fortress. But like I said before some people may like it at least as an option to try out.
By the way this is my first post as i just signed up today, so hey all :P
