Okay then I've seen alot of talk of Cove vs Human MP and here are some of my ideas.
I've heard alot about people being foolish and saying that the Covenant should be able to use human equipment. Honestly that goes against everything the Covenant stand for. Read the good books (Fall of Reach and First Strike) and you'll see what I mean, but back to what I was getting at.
I believe that you should be able to use the following stuff when you are the Covenant.
If it is Covenant, it's fair grabs, if it's human you won't even touch the stuff. That goes for the vehicles/ pick ups as well.
The UNSC however has some what less restrictions. Meaning they can use all UNSC equipement, the Ghost, plasma rifle, needler, plasma pistol, plasma grenades(if they are a Spartan that is), all power ups excluding Covenant health packs( if they are a Spartan), and the Banshee(if they are a Spartan). Other than that all other Covenant stuff is restricted.
Now my saying "only if they are a Spartan" leads me to my next thing. I believe we should also be able to play as more then Elites and Spartans. We should also be able to play as Grunts, Jackals, Elites, Regular Marines, Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, and Spartans. Each of which is rather balanced. Also the unit's strength will be based after that of Legendary mode, for fairness sake.
Now some may also say that the humans have the sniper rifle, Warthogs, and other advantages over the Covenant players. Well last I remember from one of the weekly updates there was mention of a scoped Covie weapon. That implies " can hit at long distances " and thus sniper weapon. Also they are getting the Shadow, the equivalent to a Warthog. Plus I'm sure Bungie will make plenty of new Covenant advantages. I've also noticed that the Jackals can use plasma rifles and now God and Bungie only know what else the different units can use as well.
I do have an idea for a ranking system where a player starts low in level and gains/ loses rank through kills/deaths. mainly for a CTF game, but that is a diiferent thread all together.
If you have any other ideas it would be appreciated. I'll post more ass well as they come to me.
