I think that there should. To me it gets kinda boring just to see master chief and the arbiter. It would make multiplayer a little more interesting.

i didnt vote but...I think the arbiter should get killed off in the middle, from there you should play as a brute.
edit: oh and as a brute you should kill elites and humans, yes kill humans...it was -blam!- when you played as the arbiter and even tho humans are covenants worst enemy, u don't kill any of them.

A brute... I think in multiplayer only , you should be able to be a flood elite that has shields...

yea, i agree specops. when we you playeed as the arbiter, i was looking forward to killing some humans but was dissappointed. so i killed them when we teamed up with johnson while using arbiter. I think there should only be new characters in multiplayer. it would ruin the game if it were in the story.

Now come to think of it the story would get kinda ruin if u played with different characters. I think it would be fun to pay as a hunter in multiplayer, but you can't use the fuel rod in his arm.

i think only in multiplayer cause if would ruin the game if you played as to many different people and it would be cool to have different people for live and stuff though

If you beat Legendary (Or some other feat), I'd like to be able to choose between some sort of Forerunner Armor (Or Classic Mjolnir armor) instead of the standard spartan armor, and Arbiter Armor (Or Elite concept armor) instead of standard elite.

Other than that, I don't really want any other skins for MP. Unless there's a Zombie gametype or something, then you would play as flood. Taping the grenade button would lunge/tenticle slap.

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
