Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups

I think with this new halo game that there should be new spartans not just the master chief to be able to play (like kelly for example) and with each new spartan they come with different types of armor and also come with different perks that are like their "unqic ability" (Ex kelly runs faster) ...

i totally agree i think perks and maybe a level system with upgrades should be involved as well

To be honest i think Halo: Reach should NOT have "perks" because one of the great things about the halo series is how everyone starts out the same during battles. You could be a level 50 or a level 2 but you will all have the same shields, abilities, and weapon(s). Everyone has a fighting chance... And that's what Halo is known for.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

If there were perks, how do you know that you killed that person because you are more skilled than them, or just happened to have a perk that they didn't have?

Perks also skew the game towards veteran players even more since they are unlockable.

"Everything works itself out. The only thing that matters is whether you want it to or not."

Last Refuge - Operation Phoenix is in effect. From the ashes, we will rise.

It's pretty obvious that there WILL be other Spartans, as you could clearly hear in the Trailer, and the fact that most of the Spartans were at the Battle and Fall of Reach. So yes, you should expect the new Spartan characters, but perks? Really? I guess it would be an acceptable idea, seeing as every Spartan is different and has their own thing they excel at, but I think abilities is taking it a bit too far. New Armors, of course!

I'm on my way to tell Bungie about this right now, so they may incorporate your highly detailed and eloquent ideas.

geezz man calm down i think different ablilites in campian wen playing as different spartans would be fun

  • 08.25.2009 5:30 PM PDT

yeah I thinks perks would somewhat ruin the game but i do like the thought of classes that are balanced in power like in Halo:REACH its rumored to have 5 spartans and u could pick kelly, samual, john, etc that have different powers and weaknesses so that there a balance of power lets say the spartan samuel is kicken but with his machine gun turret or something so u get a sniper to can him whos has better accuracy than samuel.

ya thats exactly wat i was talking about nice but sam he dies long before rach happens wen he john and kelly board a covadent ship wen they first get their armor but no shields so a jackel blasts a hole in sam's suit and since they have to jump into space sam had to stay and die on the ship cause they had no way to seal the hole

  • 08.25.2009 6:02 PM PDT

I have a solution. Hardcore and ranked>>>>no perks
Social>>perks
