I think it has potential, i mean an army of spartans leading marines into an elite led grunt charge sounds epic. The would be problems i suppose ,i think marines with ar are defo better than 3 grunts but overall i like it man fair play to you =D

Proud frenchie, elite fan, anthro artist not hellbent on yiff convention/pics/whatever, mature and intelligent forum guy, 4chaner, halo 2 lover and halo 3 hater.

considering a marine is easily worth 3 grunts... it needs balancing.
and if you ignore the fact it'd be hard to balance and would cause lag and also take a lot of cpu ressource, and you'd get team killed by your teamates pretty often (like they usually do in sp)... dunno, why not.

what would happen if YOU die but they haven't been killed? does an invisible lightning strike them to death? do they stand there untill you respawn then die? do they just stand there forever?

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." - Albert Einstien

They could probably just become AI enemies which become more aggressive and/or demoralized. Say an Elite dies. The grunts panic. A Spartan dies, the marines frenzy and charge you. Sure, both aren't the same idea, but neither would be shooting at you and both would be vulnerable. Or you could just have both become demoralized and the marines just hunch where they are waiting to be killed.

This system could be fleshed out into a completely independant game type where morale is everything. The more morale, the more your side's AI is bumped up. Too much morale they under-estimate the enemy and start getting cocky. Too little morale they stop advancing. The appearance of a spartan near any marine would boost that marines morale individually, etc. Same goes for the grunts, jackals etc. The Covenant would be a bit more intricate, but perhaps depending on your rank with a Covenant soldier your morale factor increases (newbie -> zealot)

We have been raised for combat...

Alone we are a menace, together we are a threat...

Never retreat, never surrender... we are spartans.

I'm going to be honest... I played Halo C.E to halo 3 Odst(counting with Halo wars and I'm only online after getting Halo 3), the multiplayer action is good enough as it is, now... each player as a spartan would have 3 marines and as a Elite 3 grunts?

You know what i think? I think you can read minds! I'v been thinking about this for along time, but I think it needs work because 3 grunts are like 1 marine, maybe add 2 jackalls in it to counter, since they can do some damage.

And I believe it should be on custom too

It definitely needs balanced but i mean the idea is great, imagine the scale of battles. Make it a 0EXP part of multi-player and play it for the sheer epicness , personally i think it sounds awesome =D
