Hey, just because it's different doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to play as it. In Mechassault they let you play as those little Elemental things, they're absolute shyt but people can still play as them. Why not let people in Halo 2 play as other things too?
Games like Mechassault 2 are expanding the idea of multiplayer in so many ways, now you can control tanks and gun turrets in Mechassault even though they're NOT mechs. Why not let someone try to play as a Grunt or Jackal in Halo 2? And just to make it balanced, here's what I would do with every character:
Spartan II - leave as is.
Marine - no shields, tad bit more health.
Sarge (also known as "the black guy") - extra health :)
Elite - leave as is.
Grunt - small and slow with no shields but moderate health.
Jackal - moves a little faster than Grunt and always spawns with Plasma Shield. Tad bit less health.
Hunter - lots of health, slow moving, can do brutal charge attack when running (like Mercs in Splinter Cell), unable to use vehicles.
Brutes - more health than Elites but no shields. Boarding animation: claw slash (like in 2003 single player trailer).
Prophets - er... no.
Flood Variation 1 (infested human type) - very weak but very fast and agile. Starts with better weapon selection. Can leap far distances.
Flood Variation 2 (infested covenant type) - same as above but different skin.
Oh and by the way, this would all be in a seperate mp mode. All of the regular modes would have regular Spartan II battles (probably Elite too). This mode would be designed to give players the opportunity to enact their own Halo battles from single player in a multiplayer environment. While throwing the Flood in there is iffy, the whole idea of anything other than Spartans and Elites is iffy in and of itself. But it would be a great experience nonetheless, being able to do something like this in mp. And those who would rather play normal can do that if they want to.
u stupid hos do u know why halo did well the multiplayer was simple, and easy to use, no crazy random chracters with different abiulities, because there will always be one thatis more powerful , if u want this they should make a new gae, keep halo 2 mp to its roots thatwts what made thefierst game a sucess, elites and spartans are editio enuf, LEAVE IT ALONE, the blalance is fine and bunggie knows what theyre doing not u so all u stupid hos stfu.
