I'm serious. It's certainly possible, and if would be very fun. It would present problems in multiplayer with balancing, but campaign is fair game, I'd say.

Whaddaya think?

I know, I said it would be unbalanced. One shot with a sniper rifle in the orange and your dead. Pistol would be better, if they decide to bring it back.

The ignorant work for profit, the wise work for the benefit of the world.

Maybe a bonus level given by beating it on Legendary 7 times...

No, although it would be cool, I think it would be going a bit too far.

I guarantee you I'm not the first to mention it, and I bet Bungie considered long before anyone even thought of it. I'm not providing any new ideas.

As a bonus level possibly, killing jackals and brutes and such. That would be awesome to beat the crap out of jackals as they try to put their shields up to protect themselves. lol

true, but you are reviving them. i hated playing as the arbiter anyways, it just had such an awkward feeling. and plus, where would playing as a hunter come into play in the story?

You have a point. Of course, I don't know anything about the story, so I couldn't tell ya.

Where did you play as one?I think it would be awsome because theyre the best characters in the game.Even better then the mc.

I can't see it working but I love the hunters and being able to be one is an amazing thought.

I've heard of people doing it from mods. But, you must realize, a modded character and a real character designed by Bungie are two very seperate beasts.

In multiplayer or maybe some kind of co op challenge mode. But definatly not in the main story. I think the covenants side of the story should mainly be told through cinematics, not gameplay, but I would like the arbiter left in, because he was kind of cool, even though all his missions were boring.

If hunters are added to the gameplay then I think it would just get too confusing trying to follow three stories or atleast three point of views on one or more storie(s).

It would ruin the storyline.... Hunters are to slow, to big... It would be a bunch of waddling around objects (no jump) and a bunch of melee and cannon shooting... why not just sit in a turret and beat the game? I for one would be against playing anything but a Marine(Sprartans included) or an Elite

in the campain maybe.... but not in mulitplayer... it would be cool to be a brute in mulitplayer tho.

plus they should have a mini game.... HOW MANY WILD BRUTES CAN YOU KILL..... lol it would be kinda fun.

  • 05.10.2006 7:35 PM PDT

I definiteley wouldnt want to play as a hunter. There are already two playable characters, the Arbiter and Master Chief (They havent said if we can play as the arbiter, but i think so). It would make the game feel VERY weird, not Halo-ish.

I pwn noobs

i think playing as marines would be fun... and following the mc or something? lol but it would be cool to have 16 player marine co-op on xbox live me thinks

I want this game to be strictly deep and dramatic. All MC, this is the fate of the human race now. No games. Downrite hardcore, and I want it to be that way in the game. This game has a lot more deep feelings and emotions than the other two. It is clear the mood of the game should be one of desperation, hope, turmoil, and climaticism. Don't mess it up with a meaningless bit of playing as a Hunter.

Wait, who say's Hunter's can't jump? Just cause we haven't seen it, doesn't mean it can't happen. I bet they have mad hops. (compared to my pathetic excuses for jumping)
