Subject: Why do Firefight characters matter?

To anybody who has played Shi No Numa in World at War, you know that each soldier has a different line depending on power ups, revives, kills, etc. Now, does else think that maybe Bungie has something similar in Firefight? Why else would they make Sgt. Johnson a playable character? You can't see your own character model, and other squad members would have specific lines depending on what you got a kill with. Not saying its going to happen, just thinking.



I also wonder who else Bungie considered as playable characters.

Edit: Nvm, re-read the WU.

Just a character, everything they do doesn't need/have a secret behind it.

ROBOHOG IS VERY BRILLIANT AND STUFF.

It's all just for looks. It's great that we have all these customization options, and I love how we can take the helmets off this time around.

Urk already said they will have unique lines.

I think each character might start with different weapons (dutch with splazer, romeo with a sniper etc.) but I'm not entirely sure. I think that would be a nice touch. What I DO know is that if you play as Johnson he insults the convenant as he kills them. "Sorry, I can't hear you, WITH MY BULLET IN YOUR MOUTH!" type stuff.

For me it matters because in call of duty you always play as a pre-assigned model in halo 3 you can change your color your armor in firefight you can change the insults you'll play as. More of a gears of war type style. I play as dom because of his nice little line after a headshot. It will matter you'll see.

It matters for the same reason Recon matters. People want them.
