So I just finished almost a complete evening of playing Halo 3 campaign at my friends house, trying to get him some achievements. I just got home and a new idea occurred to me while looking at my desktop background (Halo Reach picture)

It's a little bit of a stretch, but seems possible and kinda neat. Let me know what you think...

We all know that customization was a HUGe hit to halo 3 matching making, so What If the spartans in the picture reflect customization of characters that are playable in multiplayer. I KNOW there have been many threads about classes but thats not what I'm talking about. I was thinking you can tailor your spartan to your play style.. example make one that is smaller and faster for a stealthier option, or perhaps larger and beefier for more melee oriented/ heavy ordananced playstyle.

This would bolster a players feelings towards their own playstyle and would enhance their strengths.. Anyways its late, and thats what my little mind cooked up. Show this thread some love if it hits home any.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

This has been a theory before Halo 3 came out. The whole class thing has been discussed before. Go search the Halo 3 forums for it.

That would be crazy. Kinda like an MMO type thing.

But yea its a stretch.

Just like I stated, I am not talking about classes. Maybe I did not make a clear point. I wasn't thinking of a player picking a pre determined spartan class pick. I was thinking of a player having full customization of his spartan which in turn affects their gameplay. From male to female all the way to height and weight sorta issues. These would affect gameplay, add in the possibility of armor perms on top of this and it could make lots of playstyle possibilities. I am not suggesting you pick a class that starts with pre-determined weapon.

No matter the way you look at it, it would still fall under the class system. You chose customizable classes instead of Pre-determined ones.

No, its player customization

It wouldn't be balanced. If people complain about elites this would be a hundred times worse. I would much prefer to spawn with my weapon of choice.
