I had an idea for two new races for Halo 3. I hope they make sense and actually are considered by people.

The Hunter

I know I know, the bullet proof armor and one hit kills to the back, but what if they had a new armor. A new armor made from a metal of unknown origin, that is liquid at a somewhat high temperature and solid at room temperature. Younger Hunters will have a device implanted in them that released small amounts of this metal over time. The oozing metal is solid on the outer shell over the hunter, but liquid in the inner layer, becasue of the hunters body heat. It can stand some damage but will resort to its liquid state when the armors structure is compromised, therefore giving the enemy a chance to shot through the oozing metal and into the soft skin of the hunter, thereby killing, duh. The hunter is smaller than the adult counterpart and has no spikes.

TROLL (Marine)

This is a marine that has undergone genetic therapy to become like Sergeant Johnson from The First Strike, that was tainted by the Flood, but didn't become one, it stated he gained regenerative abilities, that combined with muscular enhancement, will create a super soldier.

For Everyone who doesn't like to read.

A Young Hunter that is coated in a metal. The shell will become liquid if you shoot it too much, them become solid in another 10 seconds.

A new type of marine that will regenerate any damage that he recieves, unless it destroys to much of the vital organs necessary to live.

I came up with these to be the equivalent to an energy shield, so all is equal.

I thought people wanted to have more of a choice when they created a character, so i thought I'd post some ideas for new characters, but it's ok if you don't like it.

I would like more choices, but for Machinima purposes. I would love to be a Jackals though. I mod to be them in Halo One but I'd like to be able to use one without modding. They're fun.

Alpha, this all sounds pretty sweet. It could lead to different roles for the different species in certain battles. And some wicked screenshots :D

Thank you merciless, and it does seem that modding your xbox is the answer to getting more maps, characters, weapons, and more, but I wish that I didn't have to sacrifice playing online with my friends so I can have what I wish thay would just give me.
P.S.: I dont play live anymore.

the only new good multiplayer characters would be brutes, marines, and flood combat forms (all of them with shields)

Agreed...

Personally I would want the character skins strickty for Machinima porposes (Marines, ODST, Jackels, Grunts, Hunters, Drones, Brutes, (New Characters?) Spartans, Elites)
STRICKLY for Machinima porposes. Of course the bulk of them would be avalibe only in custom games... but still... I would love that

nah jackals are too small and annoying

Brutes with shields would be too hard to kill, it already takes 2 head shots to kill them.

pillage is bad, his drama is sad. Who would be a drama queen, really get a life... Your wrists are all red, put down that knife. Now you are leaving... Good job BK, i see you can take a hint. hopefully you make this absence a permanent stint. I was just having fun, and you took it the wrong way... but god damm boy, you really did act g@y.

i think there definately should be more multiplayer characters. like after you beat the game, you can go through levels as other characters aside from the chief or the arbitor (we all know hes gonna come back)

well, the brutes would be evened out to fit with the spartans and elites.

the brutes would be downgraded, the marines would be upgraded...and well the combat form doesnt really need anything changed.

The two bosses,or just Tarturas chieften of the brutes,could be used in Juggernaut.

Goddam it... The only thing wrong with the elites is that people hated playing the arbiter.

Seriously, I've seen diagrams of the 3d models. THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME HEIGHT.TO THE MILLIMETER!!!
