No, I wanted to play as other characters and I made a post about a couple times, but then I thought about it. The character has to be comparable in size to a Spartan or Elite and have shielding. Brutes don't have shielding. Hunters don't have shielding and are too big. They also can't dual-wield, switch weapons, or jump that good. I guess a Jackal's shield would..eh.. be a shield but what about about their sides and back? The shield takes up another hand for dual-wielding as well. Certainly arn't as strong as a Spartan or Elite too, melee would suck and can't jump. Drones have no shield, can't melee or jump for -blam!-, and their flying ability wouldn't be fair to others in MP. Grunts have no shield and they sure as hell can't jump or melee like a Spartan. You know what i'm gonna say about Marines. And if you mean giving these guys orders you need to know you're playing Halo, not Brothers in Arms, Rainbow Six, or Ghost Recon
