Who cares about BR vs AR

Why make brutes the same size? Why not just give each race their own properties?
I wish brutes would be in multiplayer and that they would give all three races different properties. Such as:
Spartans - Strong shields, low health, medium melee
Elites - Medium shields, medium health, medium melee
Brutes - No shields, strong health, strong melee
This would add a new dynamic to the game and make different weapons much more useful for different situations and against different enemies.
I don't EXACTLY agree with this..
But if it did happen, I would want the Brute to have sheilds AT LEAST. I mean once someone picks ob a BR, They're dead.
If they were going to make a change like this, you would need to throw out everything you think you know about weapons and damage and start from scratch.
For example, not saying how it would have to be:
BR's would do little damage to spartans shields, 4-5 shots to take off and 1 headshot to kill.
BR's would take 3-4 shots to take Elites shields off, and 2 headshots to kill.
BR's would take 4 headshots to take down an Brute
PR would take down a Spartans shield in 3-4 hits and kill in 4-5 more hits
PR would take down an elites shield in 2-3 hits and kill them in 5-6 hits
PR would kill a Brute in 9-10 shots
So there would be a balance, just everything would not be equal. If most people are playing brutes, it would be best to have a BR handy. Running into lots of Spartans? Better have some plasma weapon available or you will spend all your time trying to get the shields off. Elites would be a good mix.
No more one weapon end alls for any situation. In team doubles, play as a Brute and Spartan and make sure one player has a hard time taking both of you out.
It is BALANCE, without EQUALITY. Make sense?
But a Spartan and Elite can survive more than one battle. The brute may win the battle, but will lose the next due to massively reduced health. The Elites and Spartans will recharge their shields and be able to have a fair fight for the next battle.
So you see, I'm saying Brutes will be too easy to kill with your ideas. I'm trying to help you. I won't mind them if they are balanced, but unless Bungie makes them balanced by massively reducing their health, and integrating shields, that won't happen. And I can't see Bungie changing a character that is probably not going to be in MP anyway.
