Subject: Meat shield in campaign??

theyre should be some sort of meat shield in the campaign just like GoW2. but only be able to pick up brutes, just put a limit on the body. ( 4 shots or something)

Thoughts?

Would be cool but I think it may be too late in development to actually implement into the game.
Edit: A Brute would be too heavy for an ODST to pick up also, as stated in the post above.

Yet the ODST seem to be able to punch out brutes and rip off turrets from their mounts... not really thrilled at the idea, just saying.

Not a brute, but theoretically another human or a grunt/jackal would be possible.

I hope not, I'm tired of people trying to make this game like GoW2

Why do people keep taking ideas in 3rd person shooters, and the suggest them for Halo 3. Seriously, I've heard pitches for cover systems, meat shields, even Gears guns. The gameplay is what makes Halo Halo, it may not be the most realistic, but it's a nice balance of realism and fun gameplay mechanics. Plus Brutes are taller than you, stronger than you, and don't give up without a fight. They wouldn't be meatshields. And don't even suggest Grunt, it just makes going Kamikaze all the easier for them.

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

What if he uses the pelt of the brute? That'd be pretty cool, probably good camoflauge too.

There's a difference between brute force, and prolonged force. I've seen guys break through cinder blocks with their elbows. I'm sure ODSTs have a ton of training. That combined with a fast blow from the barrel of a gun could kill a human, and knock off metal armor.

The tip of the sword... That's the place I am at.. In the front of the fighting force.

That's what I hate about Gears is the over-powered shotgun.

Why hello there.

Got a piont there a turret probably weighs about 60 to at least 100 lbs. plus the ammo putting on another 50 or so but then it would start ending up like GOW and nobody wants that piece of -blam!- of a game right???

I know. It's the only all-purpose weapon. It's not even cool.... I don't like the idea of meatshields in ODST. Simply because it's not Halo at all.

AND THEN HE GOES ALL SOLID SNAKE USING IT TO HIDE. Actually, a brute pelt would be quite tough I imagine. You might have a tough time skinning the thing on a battlefield though. Probably would smell as well though, not just because you recently skinned it. Nonetheless, it could be a decent shield for a while, although ruining the Halo-ness of the game.
