How do you guys imagine playable multiplayer character models will differ from Halo 3's? I was thinking that the possibility to play as an elite may be taken out since they aren't on your side yet, or maybe they might just leave it in disregarding the change in time periods. Also, would they still have equipment and "new weapons" from Halo 2 and 3? :)

no they should keep the elites and also add brutes and jackals they are about the same height as the spartans 7" ft tall so it should work out and another thing they should add covenant vs unsc gametypes cuz it would be pretty fun shooting the -blam!- out of spartans and elites is getting old

The multiplayer in halo has never really had a canonized storyline. So the single player probably has nothing to do with the multiplayer. Bungie has made it a longstanding trend to "raise the bar" as they put it. So for all intensive purposes it is safe to assume that not too much will change except for the art style. It seems that the ark story arc was somewhat a forerunner theme. Reach probably will be different.

Saying that elites may not be in the game if it is the fall of reach is kinda like saying you can't detach the camera because the usnc hadn't created the technology yet.

Although on the issue of keeping elites at all, they shouldn't. Most people in playlists like team snipers and SWAT exploit the hit boxes on the elites, because the development cycle can never seem to be long enough for anyone to get it right.

Instead, I think that they should do spartans only just a lot more armor permutations instead. So that way the game is more balanced and bungie could work harder on one character models hit boxes instead of two. They even kinda have made the hit boxes in halo 3 an art.

I can see Bungie taking out the ability to play as an elite, however I think they will keep the new weapons from Halo 2 and Halo 3

I've always like the idea of adding brutes to multiplayer, but I don't know about jackals etc. I think it would be awesome to see more than spartans and elites, and brute armor always looks great so it would be cool to see what armor they could come up with for them

I don't think they need more player models, just more armor would be good enough for me.

Graham 8D: 21 and didn't get. Not really bothered tho :) I just want that sexy body and one shoulder..

I can imagine creating your own trooper and keeping permutations. But this time it's the type of clothing you could wear.

IM A LEGIT 16

I think they'll keep the Elites, but change them so they aren't impossible to headshot from behind.

I doubt they'd put in Brutes and Jackals.

Brutes can't be proportioned right and still have the Spartan/Elite hitbox.
Jackals are 7ft tall? What game are you playing? (not to the OP, the guy who suggested Jackals)

Two movies you should watch: Fight Club and Pineapple Express

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

I could see brutes in multiplayer. all you'd have to do is size them down and they basically have the same hitboxes as spartans. I think they should keep the elites because, surely, Bungie has learned their mistake on the elites in multiplayer so they could fix it with no problem.
