Traits like speed, jump height, and health change depending on how much armor you put on your model. And each trait changes between the given ranges. For example:
Min-Max Speed: 115-135%
In custom games you can change the statistics even further for each model.
And please do not just turn it down just because it sounds like COD. Give a real reason besides that.
no. classes suck. one person will make a super class and everyone will copy it and it'll make halo boring because everyone will be the same or have a higher advantage over everyone else. people will grow bored, nobody but the hardest of the hardcore will play, people will quit playing halo (due to the fact that they can't compete with the HCG and MLG people and it won't be fun for them.) and halo will die forever.
this is called "net-teching" and is common in CCGs and Minis games. however unlike halo those game genres usually come out with new answers to current problems with every set. i doubt bungie will release a bi weekly patch (people tend to play video games at a higher rate then CCGs and Minis games have tournaments.)
this is why your idea fails. so stop putting it in every topic you see on this forum please.
If everyone copies the same model and armor weight then it will just be regular halo where everyone is the same. No one will have a big advantage over everyone else because there is a limit for status of each class in speed, health, and meele damage. There is nothing wrong with this you just don't like it.
I've never been a fan of CoD starts. I prefer Halo for a reason. I simply don't want to start the game and choose a class. You can already choose what species you want to be and running for weapons isn't that hard. Most people will use BR anyway. This sorta give the poor Brutes a major disadvantage unless they start with Carbine too. A Plasma Rifle takes shields down faster than the AR and AR deals more damage once shields are down. Spiker is good in both fields. This takes away from Halo's Balance.
Halo is practically already squad based. You just have to be able to get people to listen to you. That is what makes a good leader. Just choosing any average joe for Squad Leader would result in demoralizing leaders, jerks, -blam!-s, people that aren't even there, and so on. Just take control of your team and lead them to victory without the SL by your name. A true leader can do that. I can personally say that listening isn't a strong point in Halo's community. They like to sorta do their own thing unless Bungie says they can't. Bungie is our main leader here.
I'm all for new Armor. But new weapons and vehicles is unlikely since this is a prequel. I wouldn't mind seeing the Spectre and Rocket Hog return though.
I think you guys are misunderstanding me. You don't always choose which model you start with for every game. You choose your character the same way you choose spartan or elite in Halo 3. The differences between the models by default should be just over noticible. Even if you change your stats by adding or taking away armor the differences still wouldn't be a big deal.
