Locked for bumping. Also, there's a thread on multiplayer ideas already set up; check the "Threads of Interest" sticky post for a link.

What will you want to look like in multiplayer for halo 3? heres my ideas:

Spartan(Of Course)
For Spartan i wanna be able to fully customize the colours of individual pieces of armour, including the visor, and be able to add the little icons anywhere you want.
Elite
I wanna be able to customize everything like the Spartan appearance, but also be able to look like an arbiter, or chancelloer elite, heretic elite, jetpack elite or prophet guard.
Brute
Not much customization here, but we could add icons, or a flag etc.
Marine
Well theres a heap of different appearances for marines, so thats pretty much self explanetory.
Flood
Well this would be easy, you could either be an elite turned flood, marine turned flood, or master chief turned flood(crackeds armour with tentavles coming out etc etc etc)

The only problem with Brutes, Marines and Marine-turned flood, is they have no shield. This is easily solved though. Brutes can have damage-resistance(because of thier tough skin or fur(bungie could work that out)), marines could have some sort of shiled pack or something, so they couls have shieds. And same with marine turned flood.

Also, i think it would be cool if they all had some sort of special ability. Press white as spartan and you get liek a ten second stamina burst, where you can jump higher, and run faster, elites could go invisible, brutes could go beserk for 10 seconds, marines could mayby call in an air strike or something, and flood could go beserk sort of, and have super strong melee and be able to jump really high.

Well those are my ideas, what about the rest of you?

I liked your ideas.

i want to be a marine, you could customise them to look just like you.
maybe brand name items. a marine wearing a pair of Nike Shox, or maybe even a LeBron jersey

Less self-righteous posturing and ad hominem attacks will keep this thread open and its participants' posting privileges retained.

i think that it should be only spartan, elite, and elite flood.(with shields)

there can't be a flood master chief, if he turned flood, the world would end. no-one would be left to stop the Covi.

ANd how would they Brutes touchness of fur recharge like shields?

  • 05.20.2006 6:00 AM PDT

Yo!

hm the ideas are quite good, except for the brutes, how would headshot work? and the plasma pistol?

Stats Don't Mean Anything If You Cheat

Just keep it to elites and spartans otherwise things would end up being unbalanced and most people would still play as spartans anyway

This is bungie were talking about. I sure that if they did put marines, ODSTs, grunts, brutes, and Flood in that they would be able to balance it out.

For the Spartan and Elite parts, that was exactly what I was thinking. But I really don't think that Brutes, Marines, or Flood will make it into multiplayer.

Good ideas with what to do with them though :)

marines and brutes could work, as they are all basically the same size.
Grunts would be near impossable, as the eight would mean most of a level would be unreachable

It already is unbalanced as the Elites have a major disadvantage: their head is in their center of mass. Therefore, if you were aiming for the chest of a Spartan, you'd be aiming at about the same level as the Elite's head which means easier headshots and easier kills which is why there are about three people that use Elites in ranked games...

I want to be able to press a BUTTON and reveal my FACE in multiplayer.

Then close it with another press of a button.
