*waits 10 seconds to calm down*
i'm sorry, but no frickin way.
*waits 10 more seconds*
*hits punching bag to release anger*
i have many reasons why it would be bad:
1. ruins uniqueness of weapons: Eg; whats the point of a sniper/laser/shotty if everyone has one? nobody has to fight over it anymore.
2. makes it hard to truly show skill: Eg; if your class means that you can't run as fast, then that means that it will be harder to run away or whatever
3. can't pick up weapons: Eg; if you CAN pick up weapons, then whats the point of having classes anyways? if you CANT, then i'll just get stuck in a corner with an empty rocket launcher and i wont be able to defend myself because i only have a pistol and they have shottys.
4. vehicles are worthless, or almost worthless: Eg; imagine you just got a banshee. then, you kill a guy, he gets angry, spawns with a rocket launcher/laser/new heavy weapon and blows you out of the sky, you may as well just be on foot.
5. FFA will be STUPID: EVERYONE WILL HAVE POWER WEAPONS AND IT WILL SUCK!! also, special classes ("medic", "Engineer", ETC) will be pointless too.
oh, and as far as CUSTOMIZING THEM?? utter INSANTIY!
So, based on your asinine description, you've obviously never played a class based game. Come back when you do.
Keep in mind I'm only proposing it as an option, and class based games usually don't have FFA.
Look, I don't see why my reasons are not legit, and insulting me without a true rebuttal means that your point is left undefended. And yes, i have played starwars battlefront, and that is truly class based, isn't it?
I will basically restate them here:
1. Anybody can basically spawn with anything- so power weapons are no longer highly coveted and fought over.
2. If you can't run as fast, then that means that ghost will splatter you because you picked "heavy" and can't get out of the damn road fast enough. in Halo, we are spartans, so we should be able to do everything well, even if we are carrying a rocket launcher.
3. Basically, if you can pick up weapons, then it can become pretty frickin' unbalanced pretty frickin' quick. you could have a "scout" class that runs super fast with a rocket launcher, and just basically have speedy rocket -blam-(s) running everywhere and blowing -blam- up. or a super high health shoty guy. also, if you can't pick guns up, wierd weapons that don't fit in wil not be able to have a place in the game.
4. Okay, maybe if you toned down the laser/rockets a bit to make them pathetic shadows of thier former selves, then yes, vehicles could have a point.
5. I can't think of another way to say this, and i don't have to because your entire argument was "your argument is utterly foolish", which is asinine in itself.
(howzaboutz... actually DEBATING instead of just not even answering my points and just saying i'm dumb)
