What if you could choose to take shields off but up the health?

Or Even make it that the marines had mroe health than elites or master cheif that way it blalanced out between health and sheilds, Elites and Master Cheifs have shields Marines have armour and more health.

Even if you did that, it would still end up being cheap. No one would ever want to be a marine, or visa-versa.

Advice: Only put a "yes" or "no" answer in your polls. That way the results are a lot clearer.

It was just a hought, I myself thing it would be sweet to be Sargent Johnson and go around and pump lead into someones body with a sniper rifle.I just think the Marines look alot cooler than the covenenet and master cheif. They could even make it that the marine had shields
Because in a video i saw a marine puts on a helmet exactly like Master cheifs, why not give marine sheilds like the elites? only for mulsitplayer though, or if Bungie wanted to for 1 player too.

No, it would be way too unbalanced, unless the marines somehow had shields.

Also, what if you choose to play without shields then there would be no reason not to be a marine.

I don't know about everyone else but i'd much rather be a marine like, Mendosa or Jenkins or Sgt. Johnson than an Elite. It would be unblalanmced as an elite more than it would if u could be a marine :

Blue Elite: Foot Soldier
Red Elite: Veteran
Gold Elite: General/ Officer

So each color elite is stronger than the other, which mean a godl elite could over power a red or blue on easily so why not add in marines, like sgt.johnsoon could kill a private easily to balance it out.

i think it would be kinda cool to play as a marine or grunt or jackel or something- it would way mix things up. if there are bots..... i would love for the bots to be of those lesser units (or at least have the option to mix up the bots)..... but, i doubt there'll be bots. sorry to stray off-topic....

It would be fair if and only if the two opposing teams had the EXACT same stats and abilities. The outer skin doesn't matter as long as they are about the same size.

ok here is an ideal mp game...............

You and up to 3 other friends are Spartan's

your goal is to capture an enemy flag guarded by the covenant, while not losing your flag.....(it's a very symbolic flag :))

The enemy consists of 1-4 elites (depending on how many spartan's there are) grunts, jackals....

your force consists of marines and odst's.......
