The marines in Halo seem to be multi-cultural. Some are spainish, some are black, some are british, and some are American. But wouldn't it make sense to have Chinese people in there, scince China's population is the largest in the World and it doesnt look like is gonna change, even that far in the future? There should be more diversity in the UNSC's marine's back grounds. That opens up some intresting cimatic possibilities of Christian, Muslim, and Jew Marines saying prayes or fingering their cross neclace before they go into battel. Speaking of religon, does the MC have one? What is his background? i know they told about his pre-halo life in Fall of reach, but it would be cool to find out what ethnic group he was.

i think it would be cool if they had over 100 different marine personalities for halo 2. that would be good so u never get tired of hearing diferebt dialogs.

apparently reincarnation plays a pivitol role in their religon. So does running back to the largest group of convies when you get stuck, cause grunts dom it all the time. Covie Boot Camp need some work.

I doubt they'll ever reveal who the MC is really, it's part of the mystique of the game.

Unless they make it a marketing ploy for future Halo titles. ("Halo 3 - see the man behind the mask!")

What I want to see is "Halo: A Marine's Story" and make the game revolving around a marine platoon or something... that'd be cool.

yeah, that'd be awesome. In fact, i should see if Bungie has open slots for authors for a cool book like that. God knows i need the cash...

Back to the original purpose of this thread...

Many different ethnicities and religions would be very cool, but very hard. voice acting is a lot more expensive than you might think, and i believe the voices for the game are done anyway... however, this would be a neat Xbox Live download in the future. A few ethnicities i wish to see are:
Chinese
Indian
Southern USA

Another thing to consider is the possibility of female soldiers. there is absolutely no reason not to have them. the covenant has destroyed every other human outpost. i say put a gun in every man, woman and childs hands. and before people start -blam!-ing about time restraints in training, consider that a national gaurd member can be trained in two months, and an army ranger in 6.

I would also like to see the original accents expanded with more dialogue, because jumping a hill in a warthog and hearing the mexican guy yelling was awesome. I remember hearing that a modified version of the armor MC wears has been mass produced for HellJumper marines, so hopefully we will see a lot marines in the game.
