An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

Which would it be? And why?

I'd have to go with the Flood. They totally mess up everything - Oh, the possiblities!

They could have some really awesome features to help carry their creppiness over from the campaign, such as the ablitity to cheat using a third person view - So, at any time, at any corner, at any obstacle, a group of Flood forms could jump out from no where to get the one up on your ass. Man, I can't stand those flood -blam!-es.. Creepah! We all know they can jump uber far and high, and they might be even more capable in Halo 2. Also, we all know they're the only character that can die and respawn (come back to life) right on the spot.. I don't know what you could do with that? Play dead? There's 20 or so flood forms on the ground.. Some dead, some not? Get up so we can kill you again?

The Flood can take over the game and multiply in vast numbers. Carrier and infection forms could take over bodies left and right.. Before you know it - the map is filled with AI Flood kicking all kinds of human/covie ass, while the carrier forms are setting up shop in dead bodies and the enemy base, like something out of that movie.. Aliens. I wonder what the Flood base would look like? It would probably look alive and well, huh?

What I really like, is how the Flood could change the game.. At any time, they could take over the game, and both Human and Covenant teams would have to team up to combat the overwhelming number of Flood forms.. Because before you know it - it's game over. So team up and kill all those AI Flood forms, before they just totally -blam!- you noobs.. And your no health bars. Get up so we can kill you again?

It would be hard to do right, but I like the possibilities.. So that's why I choose THE FLOOD!~! How about you?

You can flame me too, I can take it..

I wouldlike to see the ODST model. If the controls could be worked out, jackals would make very intereting characters.

i like the flood idea.
i posted something like this but it was a multiplayer gametype called GRINDER mode a bit like on mechassault

defend a point in a map while huge amounts of ai covenant/flood/whatever are thrown at you and each player only has a set amount of lives but all weapons are available

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Helljumpers. So damn cool, they don't need a reason to be put in.

I was thinking it would be great to be a Hunter or a Prophet but now im starting to think it might be different because it wouldn't balance out. So I think the Spartan and Elite are fine.


O yea what does ODST stand for?

if an odst was a match at all for a brute, i think they could add those two in. it'd be like a balancing the mc and elite's have shields and you'd have odst and brute and they dont have shields but powerful armor. i know it makes no sense that an odst would have more armor than mc, but it'd still be sweet to play as that or a brute.

Only one?

Either a Grunt or a regular Marine.

Because I know I would do well as either.
