The main argument against Classes is that Halo is about weapon and map control.

Which it is. I don't think Halo would be Halo if it had classes. Think about it, who would spawn with an SMG, Plasma Rifle, Magnum or Assault Rifle when they could spawn with a Sniper or Battle Rifle?

I just don't see how it would still be able to be labled Halo.

If the weapons were made properly (see the second to last post on page 20), a lot of people would spawn with Spikers and ARs.

Just to use CoD as an example, people spawn with the weapon they like. And it would be the same thing here. I mean, if the sniper had a huge spread when firing from the hip, it would become more of a sniper (and a lot of people are not good snipers, I mean at the beginning of a game, how people rush the sniper? In my experience, 1/2 per team).

And as for the BR, if the changes on the previous page were implemented and altered as necessary, it would become more a medium-longe range weapon instead of the current "one size fits all" weapon that can kill faster than any other weapon. (Besides the specialty guns, shotgun, sniper, rocket launcher, etc.)

not if the sniper rifle is like a real sniper with kick back and having to use the scope

I dont think this could work. at high levels the only weapon people would use would be the sniper

Please we don't want them. This is HALO! Not COD.

I hate the class system in COD.

See it wasn't bad in the early COD games but in the new ones where you can make your own classes. That's dumb, you can spawn with overpowered weapons. and Perks and stuff NO.


KEEP IT CLEAN.

NOT COD!

speak for yourself.
I for one kind of like the idea everyone is always complaining about how other people are complaining about the game.

Maybe if there are classes it would be more fair instead of 8 people fighting over a sniper.

With those people not complaining maybe other people will not complain so much.

After all these years of default starting weapons and what not it might be kind of fun to give this a try.

Like Barrack Obama said its time for a change
Yeah. So did Hitler.

hey hitler was a good guy
he did alot of good things for germany

so he hated jewish people so what you hate people but hitler had the balls to do sometyhing about it

if you hated something and you had the power to you would probably do away with it to


So Hitler killing 11 million people he didn't agree with and bringing utter ruination to Germany and the rest of Europe makes him a good guy?
you completely missed my point he made germany like an amazing country without him people would say who is germany like autobahn = hitler killing jews was also a bad thing but he was power hungry jeez
there are alot of things worse than the holocaust dude
and hitler is not a good person because of that dictatorship is a very serious thing

Halo is played for it's distinct feel and game-play. Altering that distinctiveness to be more like another game would remove some of the originality people keep coming back for.

-=Moxus=-


Really I play for the story and weapons, if all the game involved was the distinct feel and game-play i sure would not be playing it

====>NO NO NO I DON"T LIKE CHANGE!!<====Ignorant class Denyer


Ignorant ungrateful person who believes Halo needs to change.

no one said halo NEEDS change but it could be good halo changes with every halo game that comes out
no matter what you say bungie can be like screw that its what i wanna do

at high levels there would be nothing but snipers. it can be used at all ranges because so many people are excellent at no scopes

The reason custom classes work so well in cod is, because every gun kills in one to two shots.why would i want to spawn with a lets say plasma rifle when I could spawn with a one shot multi kill weapon like a rocket launcher?

why have a rocket launcher when you can have a sniper? why play with a sniper when you can have a sparten laser it's all like rock paper scissors.
