I think it would be cool to play as a grunt in online and be able to customize its armor. Tell me what you think about the idea,try to think of some cool armor for a grunt, and tell me if you think a grunt should be unlockable or if you should automaticly get it.

There are those who said this day would never come, what a day to say now.

yes, customizibility over anything :P
should be possible in campaign too.
just to feel inferrior to the enemy.
not some 7" tall super soldier with haxzorz autoaimed powerweapons.

Nope.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

What point would this serve though? Other than personal gratification there is no reason to have an obscure character like a grunt available as a player model. Not to mention the advantage/disadvantage offered by the difference in size and movement speed.

There is a reason that Spartans and Elites are the only models, they are similar to eachother both in the established story and in the games. Throwing something in there for the hell of it often doesn't lead to good gameplay.

Like you said grunts are small targets, so a solution to that is they could get less health and their speed could be lowerd.

Not a tree

Maybe alternative characters for campaign but not multiplayer.

well 6 hunters vs. 6 spartans would be a one sided fight. i like the idea but to add it would cause more harm than good

"Simpsons did it."

But really, there was a topic like this already which was a really good battlefield for flame wars.
