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.

1. WHAT IS THE POINT OF A SNIPER IF ANYBODY CAN SPAWN WITH ONE?[/quote] posted by: sh1n1ng wolf:
SO U CAN OWN AT LONG RANGE (or get into a sniper battle) AND SUCK AT CLOSE RANGE!!!
BUT I DON'T WANT TO SUCK AT SHORT RANGE! I WANT TO BE AS ADAPTABLE AS A REAL SPARTAN IN COMBAT!![/QUOTE]Okay, lets look at how you start a match. You start with an Assult (might have spelled that wrong) Rifle (close to mid range) and a pistol (...meh...). You're only good at close range combat. You can go around trying to pick up different weapons, but that's not what a "real" Spartan would do, because a "real" Spartan would be able to start out with whatever the hell he wanted and swap out weapons as he or she saw fit.
If you want to talk about real Spartans, in the books, different Spartans were using cetain equipment and weapons for certain roles (Sniper, mines, ect). It just makes sense to use weapons you want to use if you were going to fight for your life and you were backed up by a kick ass military. Also, why do marines have different weapons when they drop into combat?
The current weapons are already designed to specialize in certain areas anyway. Pretty much the only differance between classic and class based is that you get to choose your weapon and abilities.
Also keep in mind you can stick to classic if you want to...

2. eg: there is a ghost/gauss hog on the loose.
CLASS BASED: somebody dies, shot by the vehicle. that person spawns with a laser/rocket and kills the vehicle instantly.
TRADITIONAL: somebody dies, shot by the vehicle. they then proceed to get revenge through actual tactics, you know, plasma pistol, power drain, frag grenades, and FIGHTING FOR the power weapons. more skill this way, and vehicles are more relevant.[/quote] posted by: wolfie:
Are you kidding me? I never ever ever ever get killed with anything in a vehicle other than a Spartan Laser or Missle Pod. I must be godly or something, because that's all that can counter me driving a vehicle, and vice versa.
Chances are, vehicles wouldn't be one hit kill with Heavy's weapons anyway so there would be an actual battle going on instead of just a vehicle sniping spree.[/quote]
umm, not all of us are "god". My point is that vehicles still be useful because they are, after all, vehicles. The weapons need to be slightly rebalanced for even the regular Halo gametypes anyway. *cough* BR *cough*
Its not like the dude with the Spartan Laser gets a free kill either, and I think I stated this before, but that red beam is really noticable.

3. what about my sentinel beam? will it get cut?
posted by: ahm teh wolf:
If Bungie can put it into a class successfully, then yeah. If not, you'll still have it for regular games.
so basically, if it was an all class game, no sentinel beam. oh, and no redundant weapons like the PR and the PP unless there are covie classes and human classes, and that would mean more unbalancing.How does that mean more unbalancing? The classes would be designed to not be able to go "PEW PEW PEW, I KILLD EVRI1 at all range and all sitewashiunz!!!".
If you want a Sentinel Beam, you can design your own class for it in a custom game, but at the same time, Bungie might even put be able to work it in there.
