exactly why it wouldnt destroy the gameplay

Ok, i'm gunna return to my normal reply to threads such as this..."This isn't "Call Of Halo" "...Halo (as has already been said) has always been about same spawns and fighting for control of weapons, areas etc. rather than who has "t3h moar 1337 Kla$$ LOL!"

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.

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


No, I'm not that into Cod, what, so you are saying Halo is copying Cod? Whatever, I think you can understand my point that Halo wouldn't depend upon skill, but rather perks if the multiplayer was tilted towards a class based shooter.

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

but there is no way to have better perks than your opponent! in cod you unlock perks making it that he who has the highest rank has the most firepower! in this it is he who CHOSES the best perk wins and if one perk fails try another one

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.

No, Im pointing out that original CoD an Halo were basically the same.

Also, if your not into CoD, how do you know what does and doesn't take skill in the game?

Are you saying in a Fighter it's all about who picks the best character?

Or that in an RTS its about who picks the best faction?

It has been proven time and time again that Balance does NOT mean the same, the Halo Community is one of the only ones I have found that believes otherwise.

I like balance as well as many other people on here, everyone starts the same way, what better way to determine skill?

I've only played Cod for a few months, and I play with one of my buddies who is a good 7th prestige on that game, he told me what skill is in Cod as opposed to Halo, for the record he said Halo is a harder MP than Cod. I believe him, because in Cod, players die getting hit buy a couple bullets, in Halo there are shields which makes for a much different gameplay knowing that your opponent won't die within 1 sec, but he has the chance to escape or turn that battle to his advantage.

Also, assume someone has the same skill, the person who picks the better faction, fighter, player will win because of the advantages you get.

There's a reason that Halo isn't class-based. It's because it's different. Halo is the only large FPS of its kind, but there are multiple class-based games. Why would they copy the less successful games? Also, stop bumping your thread so much (please don't reply to this post, almost everyone disagrees with you and this thread needs to die).

One does not simply walk into Halo.

The Ultimate Opinion.

kurt is way overpowered...

  • 08.04.2009 5:37 PM PDT

soon i will get my xbl account back and and rejoin the halo ranks

ONE DAY it will happen but for Halo Reach, NO. Bungie needs to go out with a bang and trying something new like this wouldn't be to pleasing if it wasn't to standards. And at this point in time not wanted by the majority of the halo fan base.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

I'm sorry but I don't like this idea at all.

Definitely agreed. Everybody would start as Linda just for the Sniper. The way you make this Class system is poor, my little brother could do better.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Honestly, I wouldn't care to much about classes, as long as it doesn't effect the campaign in any way. But, the reason people play Halo is to get away from all the other class-based games. Plus you're ideas aren't that good.
JOHN-117
power up: ability to command other players (players do not have to listen but gain extra exp for doing so)
So, what would the person who chose the John class gain from this? And judging by Halo's community, only about 1% of the people would follow commands.

SAM-034
secondary weapon: combat knife
beat down power: 9/10 (beat down would be a variation of his knife swing)
power up: overshields
First, Fred would have the combat knife, if anyone, not Sam. Check the first paragraph of First Strike again. And also Sam would be way to overpowered. Overshileds and an extremely strong beat down? Might as well rename the class "Camper's paradise."
LINDA-058
power ups: invisibility and grappling hook for access to sniper positions
A sniper with invisibility sounds a bit overpowered, IMO.
FRED-104
starting weapon: Assault rifle
secondary weapon: jackal shield
beat down power: 5/10
power ups: none
grenades: 2 plasma
So Fred gets no power ups and only 1 weapon?! I don't know who in the hell would pick this class, Fred gets screwed.

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

- Halo 3 didn't have that big of gameplay changes and it had a Beta. Lots of games have Betas.
- It would destroy gameplay, and what's the point of classes when, ultimately all it effects are the powerups and melee damage?

Iam enjoying Halo Reach and revisiting some past Bungie games, iam a big fan of Bungie and their online community.

You see major changes dosent neciserily mean classes, were i acept its a possibility i also think that there is a chance the changes will be diffrent to class. And if there is class involved then i think it would work better if it were like Battlefeild 1943's, simple, fun and effective.

Reading the books doesn't make you an expert on anything...Only someone who had read the entire Halo Bible could call themself an "expert" at any subject within the Halo universe...Yes, you may know about the few moments that the books tell us about but what about all the other times we don't read about?

I agree with you, when I played quake the only thing it had in common IMO was it was an FPS.

"They let me pick... did I ever tell you that? Choose whichever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research. Watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. Like the others you were strong and swift and brave, a natural leader. But you had something they didn't. Something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck."
—Cortana to John-117

Yes and no...

I sort of like the idea of classes due to the fact that I think its sort of stupid for me to have to run to the center of the map to grap the spartan laser.

But, if bungie would do this idea, the names would have to be changed to somthing like this.

Spartan Team leader.
( 1 only)

Clost combat Specialist

Sniper
(With SMG as secondary)

Assult

Recon

Not really sure what to call Kurt, but I would say somthing like advanced recon or demo specialist.

Note-
I put it in the order that PhoneyMonkeyman wrote it.

You mean Kurt as in Kurt-051 (Ambrose) ? He was a leader rather than anthing else...His "special ability" could be something like a wider radar or a radar that shows your enemies whether they're moving or not for 30 seconds (as he was able to "sense" traps) ...

I still think this won't happen and is a ridiculous idea...

Marine Sergeant: Marine, did I give you permission to -blam!-?

Grunt: How come there never be Arbiter grunt?

Sgt. Johnson: For a brick, he flew pretty good.

Sorry, personally, making a classed based Halo game, would RUIN the game for me, but thats just my opinion.....
