There are two groups of people in the world - those that hope, and those that wish. The first group hopes that nothing bad will happen. The second group wishes that they are there when it does. Which one are you?

I know it probably wouldn't be in the game, but I was thinking about the enemies you face and how to make them seem more varied. What if there was some sort of way to have the game's engine spawn different sized enemies instead of the same size model over and over. Imagine a random spawn of an identical model of each enemy, except the size of the model can vary slightly. It could spawn different size everything from grunts to brutes, and in rare cases it could randomly spawn either much larger or much smaller of each race. You would be unable to expect what kind of enemy you would be about to face and imagine the surprise and intimidation of coming across a rare huge Elite. Their melee power would also be proportional to their variation in size.

Hmm......I don't know about varying sizes. I'll just leave it up to Bungie to decide on that.

I was just wondering if anyone else noticed that the Grunts in the E3 2003 Single Player Trailer looked to be larger. Anyone else noticed this?

The size changing thing sounds like a good feature, but I could live without it.

Jim, now that you mention it, yea I do remember them being a little bigger.

Slight size variations could be good, but not like 2 foot differences, maybe 1ft at the most. Also the ranks should represent this, like the spec ops black elites should be bigger and buffer than the regular ones, same with the special grunts and stuff.

That sounds like a great idea, but yet again, only time will tell and we'll just have to wait it out... =]

The problemw ith different sized models is that you have to rework the hitboxes.
