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.

Poll: Do you want OPTIONAL class based gametypes and playlists?  [closed]

No, I don't want it even as an option and I READ:  47%

Read before polling or posting, and before you read any further, I would like to point out a common misunderstanding.

COD4 IS NOT A FREAKING CLASS BASED GAME!!!

Now that that's out of the way, I'm (obviously) a supporter of adding OPTIONAL class based game types that are similar to Team Fortress 2. I do not propose touching the traditional Halo formula at all, I merely think it should be an optional playlist in custom games and matchmaking.

The main multiplayer and campaign would be left untouched, where you run around and pick up weapons off of the battlefield in game types such as Slayer and Capture the Flag. As I said before, the class based playlists and game types would be entirely optional, and can be left untouched if desired.

In class based matchmaking, Bungie would decide and balance out the classes and abilities of each pre-set class, and players would only be able to choose from the classes Bungie made. Players can not tweak with character stats or weapon selection/stats in matchmaking. Weapons (and stats obviously) would need to be balanced out for matchmaking since players choose their own starting weapons attached to their class. All of the normal game types (Slayer, CTF, ect.) would be included in class based games, with the only changes being the class choosing component and no searching for weapons.

Class based Custom Games are an entirely different story. Players would be able to create and modify their own classes for custom playlists, similar to how they change custom playlists now.

And for the third time, I'm only suggesting it as an option.

...That's pretty much it...

EDIT: If you read, please vote and post, every bump counts.

I read gooder than he could :)

All bad grammar aside, I could see a separate class based mode as a fun option for Halo:Reach. It would be interesting if diverse character models were used for different classes Example: Grunts, Jackals, Brutes, ODST, Spartan III's.

BUT ANYTHIN THAT CHANGS HALO ILL RUIN THE PERFECT BALNCE IT HAS!!! (sarcasm)


This is what I would like, I don't know if I would want to make it optional though. If someone doesn't like classes can't they play Halo 3. I mean they're totally redoing the engine (finnally) why can't they change it up a bit?

  • 10.14.2009 5:11 PM PDT

If there two different parts of multiplayer, sounds good to me. I'd love to see how classes would work out Halo style.

The reason I want this to be an option is precisely BECAUSE some people want a Halo 3 remake, change isn't as scary if it's an option.

Yeah, but then they'd only work half as hard as they normally would. For the people who fear change I have the perfect solution. Never buy new games!

It got bad reviews in Game Informer, and I moved way to slow in the demo without the "Overdrive" or whatever.

But then again, what the f#$% do critics know?

It would be a nice change of pace. I really like the idea BUT each class should beat one class so one is not overpowered.

My idea is to have classes but each class overpowers another:

Sniper Class:
Sniper
Magnum
2 Plamas
Radar Jammer
Speed: 110%
Health: 85%
Shield Recharge: 110%
Special Ability: Go invisible for 10 seconds (Only able to use it one every 3 minutes regardless even if you die)

Demolitions:
Rocket Launcher
Shotgun
2 Frags 2 Plasmas
C4 (New equipment)
Speed: 100%
Health: 125%
Shield Recharge: 90%
Special Ability: His/Her explosions are always larger than normal.

CQB:
Sub Machine Gun
Shotgun
1 Frag 1 Plasma
Bubble Sheild
Speed: 110%
Health: 115%
Shield Recharge: 75%
Special Ability: Melee power is increased.

Assault:
Battle Rifle (Or it's Halo: Reach equal)
Assault Rifle (Or it's Halo: Reach equal)
2 Frags
Deployable Cover
Speed: 110%
Health: 100%
Shield Recharge: 150%
Special Ability: Rifle weapons gain a damage boost.

Heavy Gunner:
Light Machine Gun (I took this idea from someone's thread)
Extra Clips (2 Extra Clips for a max of 5 clips)
4 Frags
Flare
Speed: 85%
Health: 150%
Shield Recharge:100%
Special Ability: Super Strength(Allows Him/Her to pick up a turret and move at their normal pace.)






These classes are simply based off of human weapons (and covenant grenades) so don't expect them to be flawless. The equipment is in there if there is equipment in Halo: Reach.

The LMG is/has:

Lighter than a turret allowing a person to run a normal pace

A 50 round clip that takes about 5 seconds to reload

A default of 100 extra round (200 with the LMG class)

A high damage but very inaccurate




Well those are my thoughts on this.

I wanted to get that game, but my only issue was that when fighting, I was moving like slower than a tank. I know the Speed Rush thing is there, but for general movement, they should have moved slightly faster to at least simulate human movement. So I didn't get it because of this sole reason, cause it sucked really bad moving so slow.

Decent idea, but like I said in my description, the weapons (and equipment) would need to be balanced, particularly the BR, Sniper and Rockets.

The classes also need to differ in more than just weapons as well, speed, health, shield recharge, special abilities, crap like that all needs to be included in making classes.
