You Gotta Risk It, To Get The Biscuit

kinda like ODST with stealth influences?

just a thought cause that would be pretty cool

haha being a grunt... or a hunter
I know its not going to happen but hey, you can dream right lol

If you want to see the MC die, play Legendary. If you want to see MC finish the fight, play Halo 3. If you want to see MC finish the fight by dieing, why did you waste six years when you could have done it yourself right now?

You never know. It could happen. It's not as bad as SOME of the ideas out here.

well it couldnt drift from the storyline much

hell they could use the ODST's health system with lower and higher amounts of health for grunts and Jackels
and they could use the new unreal engine like they plan to still

Maybe inplementing playable Hunters will help Bungie realize that cannon on the hunter's arms has become so pathetic. Maybe they'd make it epic win to use since you'd be so slow and have to stand still while you fired it.

true, i reackon its a good idea, but i reackon they should really change that if they made hunters playable (Which they should be) The only problem is that they would have to get weapon/item pickups and stuff sorted out for each class

What do you mean? The Grunts. Same rules apply. They make them playable, they realize using ONLY the plasma pistol sucks. They then power up the plasma pistol and make it the way it always should have been. 50% energy reduction for balance, rapid fire gives headshots, Charge shots kills unshielded targets, and plasma homing is disabled. The perfect weapon.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

I see very little use for stealth in the Battle of Reach. But you never know...

yeah, i actually really agree but theres a big problem and thats increasing/decreasing damage and weapon pickup for each class... eg. you going to need legendary powered grunts (due to the damage the plasma pistol actually does), with something like the fuel rod cannon from a hunter (if it ever hits see-ing as its so easy to dodge)

That is what I'm trying to say bro! Merely playing as these characters and testing them pre-release will actually sort out all of these problems. The weapons will be rebalanced in a different way to accomodate different types of characters with different levels of health. That actually really changes a lot, especially if you plan to have mixed character types (Grunts and Hunters in the same game). It would actually encourage Bungie to make their weapons right because they'd be making them for more then just heavy armor spartan versus heavy armor spartan.

yeah guess so :) so if they did use squad based, it would actually be really good, the only problem is, theres only really 3 types of UNSC... Marine, ODST, And Spartan II as oppossed to 6 Classes of covenant... Grunt, Drone, Brute, Elite, Jackel, Hunter even though grunts and jackels are weaker, but have higher numbers... It would be a little difficult to balance

It's a good point. Really good in fact. The Marines just don't have the numbers to compete with the Covenants class.

But the Brutes do. Ahh nostalgia, here comes an idea half a decade old. What if they made an Elite vs. Brutes gametype where each side has all the races of the covenant and is led by either the Elite side or the Brute side. There you are, my friend. Perfect balance.

now that is pretty good, and like the previous halos, the multi players have no resemblance to the storyline, eg. spartans v spartans in halo 1,2,3 :P even the Brutes and Elites sheild and helath and vualla, and because they never relate multi-player back to the campaign they dont need to justify why brutes are aginst elites or even why spartans are sided with both if they make it like that when reach was set before CE

lol. Of course not. Still, if you wanted to make it more canon, the marines could be sided with the Elites replacing their Jackals. The Elites would be SO the favorite though. That never stopped Gears of War though.

You Gotta Risk It, To Get The Biscuit

the only problem with gears of war was that sometimes i was on the other side that i wanted to be on, cause im a real sucker for the locusts, The Class i would want to see in a halo squad based game would be the drones though, imagin just flying in for the kill with a brute plasma or a horrribly overpowered needler at medium range, it would be really good. and yeah the marines would make a perfect replacement for the jackels

Jackals: Can use hand shields
Marines: Can pick up heavy weapons

Not sure if that's fair, but it works. I'm out brah. Dang it, now I'm all inspired and -blam!-. I might just finish my epic blog of everything I want in Halo. It's already over 30k characters though. Might say screw it and shoot for 100k. Good luck reading that rofl
