Does anyone agree that it would be awesome if you could customise your single player spartan, and make it's classes, which is what it looks like could be happening from the reveal trailer, what classes does anyone think will appear?

Because Muslims surgically implant organic bombs in their testicles, which in turn will be injected into women during sex, which will grow into BABY BOMBS!

I hope to god there is no classes.

A real test of a man is if he is willing to scrape a sharpened razor up and down his junk just to please a woman.

There's nothing wrong with the BR. The people who complain about it are the ones who can't use it.

The BR is serverly overused in halo 3

Just about everybody has more kills with that than the primary weapon

Classes would make it worse

As you progress throughout your life you realize that the older you get the closer your are to death, the only thing you cannot change.

If there were classes, I would like them to multiplayer, and your degree of customization would be naming the specialty, each would have their strengths and weaknesses, for example if you have a sniper one, they would spawn with regular weapons, but may be able to wield a sniper better, and everyone else would shake a little bit(slightly....SLIGHTLY) and maybe.... less health?

Classes would be unblanced

  • 10.10.2009 3:32 PM PDT

I think classes would work really well, but quite a lot of them, so it's balanced.

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

Classes are the definition of balance, i don't want classes but if anything they are super-balanced.

Next reason.

Multiplayer Classes would change everything that makes the game Halo.

Keep Multiplayer how it is (with more customization)

Add some uniqueness to singe player people

  • 10.11.2009 7:19 AM PDT

there are several reasons why classes wouldnt work, the obvious reason of such is that the spartans have had all the same training. The fact that linda is better at snipeing than anyone else is simply because she's better at it, surely everyone has run across one or two people who were so good with it that they could snipe you while they were jumping through the air an your driveing a warthog. The next obvious reason that it wouldnt work is that one class would fit one situation, what do you suppose would happen when you get faced with a situation thats not fitted to your class.

However for multiplayer purposes i could see allowing a player to customize a few small things about personal weapons, such as a silencer for pistols and the sniper riffles.

  • 10.11.2009 7:22 AM PDT

I think customization of your Campaign character would work extraordinarily but multiplayer should be kept the same, if it ain't broken don't try to fix it

  • 10.11.2009 7:34 AM PDT

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

Maybe after you finish the game or find a skull then you could use your MP spartan or elite.

  • 10.11.2009 7:46 AM PDT

No classes, as the rocket launcher class would spawn, use his rockets IMMEDIATELY kill himself, and re spawn again with more rockets.

lol i gotta say. to customize yourself on single player would be too sweet. and the BR is pretty balanced. if it was an automatic weapon then i'd fall inlove with it head over heals. but because its not i have to go for the MA5C, you can't quite beat the feel of an automatic weapon

and if we did have classes. it would be like CoD but now you have shields and in a metallic suit of armor. so it should be the way it is.

  • 10.11.2009 8:07 AM PDT

Why change anything like making classes cos not having classes just defines halo. halo is about being tactical, holding weapon spawns ect. and it is deffinately no CoD.

I wouldn't want classes like in Battlefield or COD. but I would like for there to be an option to change your starting weapon from a small list of starting weapons, (plasma rifle, AR, SMG, Spiker, maybe Plasma Pistol and magnum, but they're useless in MM) no BR/carbine or power weapons are available to choose.

  • 10.11.2009 8:20 AM PDT

The less than a second latency of online play is a better system to play off of than more health.

You realize this system is just as host based, right? because if you're fighting host, or someone with a better connection to host, and you each start firing at the same time, his BULLETS will register first, giving him slightly more health if the melees happen at the same time.

So would you rather have the BS of both, or just one?

Here's one great reason: Balance.


The belief that a class based halo game would be unbalanced is fueled primarily by the fact that halo weaponry has been traditionally unbalanced. Typically half of the game's (any of the 3) is built up by lower end spammers that are then left to compete with close range supremacy weapons (sword/ shotgun), general use power weapons (rockets etc.) and then worse of all a few weapons that manage to surpass most others and range and have the added ability to deal headshot damage, which manages to cut a player's life span in half when compared to the damage still required by other weapons (halo 1 pistol/ BR/ Carbine).
-Supporters of the class based system are not looking forward to a halo where players willing handicap themselves by taking the weapon sets that include the traditionally neglected weapons, rather they look forward to a halo that fixes past mistakes and makes every weapon viable.
-Image a game where a player can handle a plasma rifle (not a dual wieldable one) look out across a map (maybe from the center upper structure on isolation to one of the bases, and feel that if you pulse your fire, maybe land some small bonuses from headshots, you can pose a lethal threat to someone at that base where once only a sniper or BR could).
-In an ideal class based halo the old hierarchy of weapons would hopefully done away with for something of a (I hate to compare games as although many feature "guns" they all use them to drastically different ends) COD4 style arrangement where weapons are not weak or powerful but rather different and while more or less capable in different circumstances still allow you a fighting chance in almost any situation.
EX: halo smg from afar vs a BR = one dead SMG player, COD4 (and many other games) SMG vs. longer range assault rifle = a potentially dead longer range assault rifle player as the SMG player is allowed to control his fire and appreciate that while he is out of his element he is still firing bullets from his weapon.

I use the BR pretty well actually, but thanks for making a totally asinine statement.Posted by: IIISUBATOMICIII

Halo is not tactical, Halo is going to search for your power weapons, then try to kill the other team with your BR.

Class based games like Team Fortress 2 actually depent on team work, and it's why unorganized players/teams totally suck here.

And look at it this way, do you really want Halo Reach to be a Halo 3 remake?
