I have a few ideas, but not like Halo 3 and Halo 3 ODST's 2nd, 3rd, and 4th players. I think they could be more different. Such as in Halo 3, there were two main characters, and two lesser characters, except the lesser characters were just as tough and agile as the two main characters. I would like to have 3rd and 4th players to have different abiltities/disabilities as 1st and 2nd players. I know that the UNSC side of the story will probably be SPARTAN blue team, but I expect there will be a covenant side to the story as well. If there is, I think the 1st and 2nd players will be elites. What I hope is that the 3rd and 4th will be jackals. Probably the most understated species of the covenant. They could be slightly faster than Elites, and have a wrist mounted shield like they normaly do that would go back into the generator if you pick up a two-handed weapon. They shouldn't be playable in multiplayer, but I think they would be great for campaign. What do you guys think?


TL;DR- I think jackals should be playable in campaign.

I hope Bungie sends Halo out with a bang. :)

Assuming this is a covenant campaign you're talking about, I have to disagree with the jackals being 3rd and 4th players for two reasons:

- Halo is known for having all players have the same traits. That's why two random Elites are just as strong as the Master Chief in H3.
- Bungie will not want to waste a bunch of time making a whole different style of gameplay for Jackals which would not be used very often.

Just make all 4 players clones in co-op

My feedback.

You're right, but I think it would be cool. :)
