Please leave and play Call of Duty. Class-based multiplayer would ruin everything that made Halo into Halo. It just wouldn't be the game that I have come to love anymore.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

Actually... though I love what Halo stands for more than anything, I would love to see a class-based style Halo ala Battlefield. Have it Spartans vs. Elites, re-balance all of the weapons, vehicles (HW vehicles would be great here), etc.

Have 5 pre-set clases (banner) where you could possibly tweak certain details (i.e. choose between the classic Halo sniper rifle, or a gauss rifle which is a 1HK bodyshot, but only has one round/magazine) as well as one custom class that you can choose your own weapons.

Text modifiers like [b] don't work on topic titles, by the way.

Mythical Group

There is no greater catharsis than arguing on the Flood.

Did you honestly think you could bold the title of your thread?

An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.

Huh, am I the only person who thought it was a referral to the infamous /b/ forum?

While I think a class based system in Halo would be interesting, it just wouldn't be the same game really. The reason why I continue to choose playing Halo over Team Fortress is because I like to play as a versatile and adaptable soldier, as opposed to the Rock-Paper-Scissors style of play in Team Fortress 2.

Glad that Halo 3 garbage is dead, thanks to Reach.
Unfreakenbelievable!!

Epic Title.

I really don't think Bungie will have classes designed into their game. One thing that they stand for is balance between the starting weapons. It's one reason why they won't put Infection into a permanent playlist. Creating classes where each person in a game starts with a different set of weapons goes against what Bungie believes makes a great FPS. If for some reason they do this, you will find that the weapons are more balanced (like COD4's), because that is the only way to make it work, but everyone will spawn with some sort of advantage over everyone else (unless of course you play Customs where everyone has to use a certain class).

It would be interesting and new for Halo. However, the competitiveness and the balance that Bungie has always stood for (well, try to always stand for anyway) will be decreased (except for Customs).

Firstly to the OP you can't bold your topic so you may as well remove the bold tags from your title. To address the topic, I doubt Bungie would mess with a winning formula as the class based system would require so much drastic changes in the dynamic of how Halo works it wouldn't be the same at all.

There's probably no god. Now stop
worrying and get on with your life.

Call of Duty is hardly class based. There are no specific roles, Battlefield, TF2 and Killzone are class based games.

The original BADFINGER! (the second)

Class based gameplay means something will always go un-used . Just look at CoD4 how many people do you see use the shotguns??? some........not hundreds. How many do you see use the M16???? lots............ MILLIONS!!!

does anyone use the skorpion??? only me?...............ok then.

Class based mean it will all be either Sniper Rifle or all Battle Rifle......... and if thats the case, call the game 'Halo of Duty' or 'Call of Halo'
