I would go on a shotgun killing spree in real life if it was. Not really but I would be -blam!- pissed.

Halo isn't a class based game. Stop trying to turn this into CoD.

I'm not. I'm simply trying to get a feel for what the community thinks about the issue.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

It could be done, but the margin for error is microns thin.

I would rather they keep it similar to what has happened in the other games.

The problem with classes is that it throws weapon control out the window. Like in Battlefield, your weapons are set by your class. COD is similar, but at least there you can pick up weapons.

The only way I could see class systems in this is for starting weapons, but we can already do that manually. The additional balancing would take more time as well.

But hey, if they can pull it off, why not.

I want it to be, but I fear it will just be a Halo 3 clone with different maps and weapons.

What? Class based MP usually requires strategy and teamwork because everyone has a certain job they must to for their team in order to win. In Halo, its basically a free for all mo matter the game type. Maybe its just me, but I find class based games much more enjoyable than the idiocy that is the current Halo MP.

Honestly, I'm hoping for something completely different from the current FPS Multiplayers out there. I like Halo and Call of Duty. (Although I've been playing more CoD lately since I've been playing Halo for half a year.) I hope it isn't class-based. It needs to be something original, not a carbon copy of things already there.

I just had a brilliant idea. Don't play Halo if you don't like how the first three games play. I don't want Halo to change. It would be a huge mistake by Bungie to completely change what a large majority of their fans believe is the best game series around. Please go away and play something else. We don't need your idea of what should happen ruining a good series.

I completely agree. I think a fifth game of the same classic Halo style FPS gameplay would be overkill, despite the awesomeness of Halo. I have complete faith that Bungie could pull off something like that.

The series is already ruined if it doesnt change. I used to enjoy Halo MP but it got really repetitive and predictable after a few months.

Like I said, go play something else then. I like the current Halo MP and so do many others. We don't care if you like it, it has been that way and should stay that way.

I have not played it in months for the very reasons I mentioned, and I will not play Reach's MP (save for a few times just to see what it is) if it is the same as Halo 3.

Ever played any call of duty/battlefield game? I love both franchises, but the snipers are VERY, VERY overused in those games. If Reach is class based, please put a limit on how many kits can be distributed to a team.

Yup Halo:CE was amazing, Halo 2 had endlessly fun multiplayer, and Halo 3 is -blam!-, hope bungie revamps the halo gameplay before they completely destroy there IP. All signs point to alot different multiplayer gameplay because of the Beta its obvious there will be big changes.

  • 07.11.2009 6:09 PM PDT

i think it will, just look at the banner, everyone in it is obviously specialized in different things.
but if it is i will cry, cry untill i find out bungie somehow pulled it off without making it complete garbage.
But i hope that they dont make it that way cuz so far i havent seen anyone pull it off.

Plz god noooo

*cough* CoD is better *cough*

uh hell yeah i hope it is. make my br silenced, no radar if given one, only can see enemys if radar is there *after a killing spree or overkill* or they shoot. oh yeah, make the game more fun and mixed up. its -blam!- when people rush weapon spawns and there is just a battle for noob guns, such as rockets and swords.

I don't know, I think controlling the vital parts of the map is what makes Halo MP great; I'm sure all MLG players would agree with me. Besides, in most games that only happens at the beginning, then whatever team got the better end of the deal dominates (if they used the weapons correctly) until they run out of ammo or until the weapons spawn again. I tend not to think that this diminishes the Halo experience, but that it makes it truly awesome.

that would turn it into starwars battlefront.

I don't know if THAT kind of classed based MP would work for Halo, but maybe basic classes such as assualt, scout etc... but still keep the basics of what Halo is fast paced, shields, high jumping, vehichles etc.

or maybe wait for the next Halo game, because as far as I can tell reach will be about spartans. If a Halo game is made based on playing as an ordinary marine, I think that would be more appropriate for classes. But I do agree Halo MP needs to be updated in someway because it has been changed slightly every time so far. Halo 1 very basic, halo 2 duel wielding and hijacking, halo 3 equipment. Just add something new and fresh, possibly something no FPS has done before, like a gun that shoots cupcakes, hell i don't know I'm sure bungie will think of something. But hey that's the point of a beta, to see if it would work.
