Subject: Multiplayer Permunitions, surely not spartans and elites.....

The Forum Ninjas are asleep.

A grunt will NOT work. even if the size wasnt a horrible bastardization in itself, a grunt with sheilds?

Bungie Day '11 Community Mosaic Thread

Posted by: Malloy05
everybody listen to mac2po he is 100% right

I really want to see some brute armor pre-mutations. It would be awesome. I also would like to see some new Spartan and Elite armor added, as well as keeping the ones from Halo 3.

I heard some rumors that bungie at one time tried to put brutes in Halo 3 multiplayer, but changed thier minds, and merely locked up the brute data inside the game.

Finally someone who agrees. Brutes would be good. Grunts will work, its like saying jackals without deployable shields. Now if grunts had them it'd be okay

You could have specific traits for each race. I've seen a post similar to this.
Spartans-Stronger(Melee)
Elites-Faster
Grunts- Smaller hit box. I think that's good enough. (and less health)
Jackals-More accurate (maybe extra zoom on guns, or less spread)(less health)
Brutes- More health(but they're bigger)

OR

they could spawn with a special weapon.
Spartans- BR, AR, or Sniper + Magnum
Elites- Carbine, or Sword + Plasma Rifle
Grunts- Needler, Fuel Rod Gun (High skill) + Plasma Pistol
Jackals- Beam Rifle, or Carbine + Plasma Pistol
Brutes- Brute Shot, or Fuel Rod Gun (high exp.) + Brute Spiker

It sounds like what someone else said on page 1. Have restrictions for each one. At least you know what you're talking about.

The idea to see a grunt in mm, is for humour reasons. It'd be funny to see a person running round as a grunt.

spartens,elites.brutes, and ODSt's should all be playable character types. They've all got similar hitbox sizes with a few tweaks. Just think up some armour perms and Bungie is set.

  • 06.09.2009 12:15 AM PDT

How about only being able to play as grunts in forge mode, sort of like going into monitor mode but you press > on the d-pad. I mean you could just do it for machinima and pure fun!

I agree with Lethal Hate. However, I don't think Brutes were really in the story back during the Fall of Reach. For plot purposes, I might rather have Brutes omitted as a model, otherwise, absolutely. Brutes, Elites, Spartans, and ODSTs would be ideal character models to play as. If anything, they could slightly rescale them to comparable sizes for multiplayer only, for multiplayer purposes.

And seriously, Grunts? Wtf? Someone asked earlier if board members' IQs were lowering. I sincerely think they are. Let's be realistic - you want to play Halo. Halo is a game primarily centered around arena-based FPS gameplay. That is what Halo is. To play as Grunts would be nothing more than dicking around, ala Halo 2's "glitching" custom games.

I personally am getting sick and tired of people saying "It wud be teh roxorz if tehr wuz classes 4 da difernt playurz and tehy can go prone 4 da snipes and doo other kewl stuff."

JUST STFU! SERIOUSLY!

Halo's gameplay, from 1 through 3 has always been an arena-style FPS. Much like that of Unreal Tournament games, there's no "aiming down the sight" like Call of Duty, nor is there prone positions or crouching behind cover. It is a game primarily meant to be for run-and-gunning and trigger happy players who can utilize what Bungie calls their "Golden Three", Guns, Grenades, and Melee - thus also defeating a purpose for CLASS BASED GAMEPLAY.

It is a game that is very firm on sticking to their 30 seconds of fun, and then continuing that over and over again. If you're stuck behind cover or doing anything of the sort, you aren't going to be having a very fun 30 seconds. It'll be a dragged out tactical shooter where you have to think more than play.

  • 06.09.2009 1:32 AM PDT

agreed, but they can still have grunts in a NON-SERIOUS game mode like forge or custom games

Thats one way, or just as you go into forge load up screen you can choose whether to have monitor or grunt. Machinima series would be alot more humourous if you could be a grunt. lol

Wort, wort, wort!

I would like a Grunt arena game mode. It would be awesome runing around as a grunt with Plasma Pistol and Fuel Rod :D Wonder where would they sheat their Fuel Rod tho..

  • 06.09.2009 8:57 AM PDT

DO WORK.

if 1+1=2, then are muffins better than pancakes?

I'd perfer only Spartans/ elites. Super-jumping ODST and brutes just aren't as cool.

They don't have too super-jump they could just be faster and the brutes could not have the rage ability when they lose their armour. Same that they don't lose their armour, but just die like spartans and elites do

Brutes don't really have to lose there armor like in Halo 3. Just using the basic shield system would be good. The brutes though are bigger then the spartans and elites, so it will give them a disadvantage in sniping games.

Like someone else said before, maybe limit the brutes to forge or custom games only.
