Should spartan ai you play beside be killable in regular gameplay?

or...

Would you prefer them to be invincible to everything like Johnson or the Arbiter in Halo 3?



Spartans should be killable. They should still be strong, but not simple damage sponges. I would love to see spartans crouching behind rocks or something waiting for shields to recharge during battles.

Edit:
I do think that there should be a few invincible 'main character' spartans, but there should be a few spartans that can be killed, or at least incapacitated.

I think that they shouldn't really be able to die, as there ARE only 33 of them, but they'd die eventually, maybe in cutscenes or in huge battles. I guess it'd just take a LOT of damage to kill a Spartan.

But I like killing them over and over. With Spikers. Don't you dare rob me of my joy!

you cant kill them "over and e=over" if they are already dead when you first killed them! make it so they pass out and their armor locks up but in 60 seconds come back.

Sounds like a good idea.

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the clichéd lines.

They could copy Left 4 Dead and if a spartan dies then like they'll fall in an orbital drop ship and reenter the fight later on.

Meh. That's how it was in Halo 3, they might as well be invincible.

If anything, they should be gone for at least the rest of a particular level.

Bungie should impliment a gameplay that resembles Starwars Repulic Comando, this game was sick. If you fall in battle you can be revived, or if your squad mates die you can revive them as well.

Honestly I can't stand to see my fellow allies die in battle next to me. It's freaking depressing :'(..... just have a revival mechanic.

theyshould die butget back up after a while like the arbiter in halo 3 but esier to kill

I wish I could understand your point of view, but I can't stick my head that far up my ass.

The main squad (Read the books if you are unaware) should be invincible. Similar to Call of Duty, the lower ranks should be killable, but the higher ranks would be almost impossible.

1.Arkham Asylum, 2.Mass Effect, 3.Halo CE, 4.Mass Effect 2, 5.Halo 2, 6.Splinter Cell Double Agent, 7.Gears of War 2, 8.Medievil, 9.Oblivion, 10.Crash Team Racing

Great AI, nice strength, but mortal.

I hate all the immortal allies. Only Johnson and HalfJaw in Halo2 made some sense because they were with me so rarely and so little time, nor did they act as stupid

Even if some spartans are important, they could just get wounded and stay behind until they have to be in a cutscene or whatever


My God if the Spartans are like Arbiter in Halo3. That was the most horrible thing in a game ever. "AARGH"*gets up*"AAARHGHAG"*gets up*"AAAARGHH"....

Halo 3: ODST = $30

I think they might die gradually as the story progresses (during a cutscene). I agree with you though that it would be cool to see them crouching and recharging their shields that would be awesome.

I hope AI is improved enough so that they behave like badasses yet don't make it too easy for the player. Hope it works.
