None of the above.


I think new skins will make the game stupid, idiotic and unbalanced.

I might want to see the option of playing as a Brute, but the other choices are just too tough. Think, Jackals and Grunts don't have a shield protection. Headhunters can only use the fuel rod cannon attached to their arm and their melee attacks. The flood carrier forms don't have shields nor not too much life. Also, I think that not playing as a marine would be beneficial to a possible spinoff game similar to Battlefronts. There could be the prequel game called "The Fall of Reach" and we could play as marines and see how an AI plays as Master Chief. It could be a cool game and idea.

I agree. None of them. Character models with differing attributes would piss all over Halo mulTiplayeR as we know it.

I see your point, but it would make it more realistic to how the campaign plays.

They should really only add characters that have energy shielding or could be given energy shielding. Grunts, Jackals and Drones wouldn't be right, even with the shields as they are to small.
Apparently there are many types of Hunter we haven't seen yet, Maybe some of them could have energy shielding and physically behave like Elites and Spartans. Flood combat form would be good.

I think you may be right. There have been some good points mentioned. I see what people mean about it maybe screwing up multiplayer.

BUT...maybe if they had an option to restrict which types were playable in match making. That way people who don't want them. Don't have to.

Hunters would make an awesome gametype, like juggernaut, only without switching. if it were to happen, it would rock!

playing as new characters would be awsome you can see wich is as almost as good as playin as mc!!!

  • 05.12.2006 8:25 AM PDT

"Sometimes it's darkest just before dawn."

None.
Even though playing as a hunter would be awesome, I think it would cause balance problems in multiplayer.

Keep the Spartans (main character, duh) and maybe the Elites (they aren't the enemies of the humans anymore), but we definitely need the Brutes as the third type (since they now ARE the main enemy of both the humans and the Elites). But no more, anything else and it would just be retarded. Maybe if they make a MMO RPG version of the Halo universe you could pick which race you wanted to be. (wait a sec, that's actually not a bad idea. I gotta write this down before Bill Gates claims it, like he did the first computer)

No it dosent screw up multiplayer, trust me it makes it fun as hell. if you have a mod that is

Try a game of zombies were one side is Flood Comabt forms and the others are marines, that was fun as hell

Diffrent character with diffrent attributes make the game more fun.

in Halo, we had jackals in hang em high, that was awsome cause it was diffuclt to get through the sheild

I pesornally would want to be a hunter but you might of gussed that when you see my avatar
because they are very strong and yes they have the fuel rod cannon and the melee attacks but they also have those spines on their backs and if they put the hunter as a skin i hope that you can have another one on your team (ai or player) just like in the game. the part i do not like is the fact that i will have a huge gap in my armor.

the only other skin that would really fit would be a flood combat form with shields any others would mean a serious change to the multiplayer which no one wants
