Subject: class based multiplayer HOW IT COULD BE GREAT!

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

ok first of all i know there are threads on this topic but i assure you that this is one is worth your precious time to read. now there has been much speculation on the topic of reach being class based meaning that there will be an in-game menu that will let you chose who you play in the multiplayer game.


first i will start with who will have the option to play as:

JOHN-117
starting weapon: Assault rifle
secondary weapon: M6 pistol
beat down power:4/10
power up: ability to command other players (players do not have to listen but gain extra exp for doing so)
grenades: 2 frags

SAM-034
starting weapon: Assault rifle
secondary weapon: combat knife
beat down power: 9/10 (beat down would be a variation of his knife swing)
power up: overshields
grenades: 3 frags

LINDA-058
starting weapon: sniper rifle
secondary weapon: none
beat down power: 3.5/10
power ups: invisibility and grappling hook for access to sniper positions
grenades: 1 frag 1 plasma

FRED-104
starting weapon: Assault rifle
secondary weapon: jackal shield
beat down power: 5/10
power ups: none
grenades: 2 plasma

KELLY-087
starting weapon: Battle Rifle
secondary weapon:none
beat down power: 3.5/10 but has automatic beat down due to quicker reflexes
power ups: sprint meter

KURT-051
starting weapon: Battle Rifle
secondary weapon: assault rifle
beat down power: 6/10
power ups: highly advanced radar due to his uncanny ability to sniff out traps
grenades: 2 frags one firebomb

Reasons this is possible:
beta coming soon (they wouldnt do one unless they are making major changes)
wouldn't hurt game play as weapons will still be placed on the map
thats all i have so far

please comment and feel free to give opinions on the weapons and abilities of playable characters

Because none of it makes sense canonically.

The realy easy thing is that looking at it makes it wrong without many words of logic. John shouldn't have a weak meele attack compared to someone. You must've been trying to get opinion out of this. well. . .this is it. your welcome.

  • 08.04.2009 3:24 PM PDT

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

ok that makes sense but the people that have stronger melee attacks were physically stronger and sam has a combat knife!

ok i like fastasy and so; that ok. It's odd because these settings you got from the book doesn't fit so easy into the halo settings. What would happen if they ran out thier grenades and could that keen radar detect and ambushes or is it just an enhanced radar that let you see enemies and items with ease?

If sam is that stronger than John than he better resemble the hulk or Chuck Norris(JK). the knife can add more damage; but how much?

  • 08.04.2009 3:32 PM PDT

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

did i not say that there would be weapons on the map and by keen radar it would let you see environment rather than just red and yellow dots

  • 08.04.2009 3:32 PM PDT

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

well if suppose a little less than an energy sword

Character Artist -- Electronic Arts

This is not TF2.
This is Halo.
All players are equal in their abilities.

Perks and customization work great for other games.

But Halo is about skill, YO!

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

could skill not be achieved with this? notice almost all of the players are the same except for minor differences

No.
Everyone is equal. That keeps it Fun.

Go play CoD, let me know how long it takes before you come across martyrdom or the P90.

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

i am aware of the suck of cod dont even begin to think about me telling u to turn halo to cod

  • 08.04.2009 3:48 PM PDT

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

and i havent played cod in like 2 years

  • 08.04.2009 3:54 PM PDT

Quit with the Cod ideas, if people like it so much go play Cod, Halo is about everyone starting out with the same weapons, while battling for control of different powerups, weapons, and map control. This is exactly one of the main reasons Halo MP is my favorite out of any other FPS, because your abilities are what separates you from achieving your objective, not some perks.

  • 08.04.2009 4:02 PM PDT

ah i see you are on my page...good choice

omg i hate cod and i still dont see how an in game menu before everymatch where you get to chose a spartan with certain capabilities and disabilities is anything like -blam!- of duty

Yes but John-117 can flip a 66 tonne Scorpion so i think if he hits you you're gunna know about it...4/10? Pfft. Also, as has been said, just looking at this makes my mind scream "WRONG! DESTROY THE HERESY! KEEP IT CLEAN! OBEY POSTED LIMITS! etc."

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Those classes aren't classes at all, most of them are almost exactly the same (Fred and John come to mind.)

Also, they would have to release a Beta ANYWAY if it was almost exactly the same as Halo 3, to test it and make sure they didn't mess anything up.

Anyway, your ideas are unappealing.

You realize how stupid this sounds "All players are the same except different"

You do know Cod's oldschool gamemode is EXACTLY THIS right?
