I don't know if this topic has died down, I just skipped from page 2 to like, 428. But at the beginning I heard alot about people wanting to play other characters in multiplayer besides Elites and Spartans. But there are many problems, although it would solve another problem. If a Spartan flies a Pelican, he's going to get attached to it like it's a second Cortana. Notice how Echo 419 just loved her Pelican? She died with it. So if you could play other characters, you would be 'allowed' to become attached. Like a marine? But there are many problems. Drones would have the advantage of flight, and only Elites could ever match up to them, since they occasionally have jetpacks. Grunts, Marines, Jackals, Drones, and Prophets are far too weak compared to Spartans, Hunters, Elites, Brutes, and Combat Flood. Combat Flood also far outweigh the strength of those previous four. Flood are faster, stronger, and hit hard as hell, we all hate those claws, right? Infection Forms are too small, and pop to a single bullet. Carrier Forms are too slow, and their only attack is to explode at your feet! How would they justify the Infection Flood that are supposed to come out? Having one player control the spawn time of another playing as an Infection Form would be completely unfair. And why does everyone want to get rid of the SMG? Doesn't anyone see what Bungie did? They split the Assault Rifle into two new weapons. They gave the SMG the fast rate of fire, and they gave the Battle Rifle accuracy. Why not just keep the SMG default and make the Assault Rifle a map weapon? And I agree with anyone who wants to switch back to the Halo: Combat Evolved pistol, they shouldn't have wimped it out without at least giving it the added ability to make smoothies.
