Ninjabag the tea-pirates!

I don't want to join your group.

As we are dealing with multiple spartans here we may be able to change which spartan we are controlling at will. This would be useful for when you die as you would be able to continue as another spartan to clear the area so that the original one can respawn.
Thoughts?

I think that could be a good idea, like, if there are 5 different types of players, then switching rolls at will could add to the tactical side of things, like posting your sniper on a tower, rushing from 3 different angles, then going back to your sniper to clean up, or use her as a spotter? It'd be kinda like Star Wars KOTOR, but still not at all like it haha

In Soviet Russia, Xbox plays you.

They're wouldn't really be a challenge in playing if you could switch characters as soon as you died. It would make the game ridiculously easy because before all your characters die, more would just spawn.

Yeah, i made a thread a while back about special abilities. Maybe each Spartan could have a speciality and gain a boost in certain weapons.

How do you know how easy the game is going to be?

I didn't think about that. Great point.
