there could be special grunt only or hunter only playlists, that way it can be a little more balanced without having to get rid of the grunt/hunter idea

sweet, first on the page

There should be multiple campaigns. One as MC, one as the Arbiter, and one from the point of view of a grunt. Maybe even the point of view of a hunter. That would be cool.

Why'd you use the @ symbol? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm new.

idk. I think bungie if they reall wanted to could find a way to balance it out. maybe the humans experimented on a grunt, brute, hunter etc. and the grunt got just as tall as MC or something. and was given shields. idk. its out there but theres always a possibility.

I'd rather have grunts, marines and jackals as AI components to multi-player. They'd be awesome to have hanging around the bases trying to lend a hand to the REAL heroes, the human players, I.e. the Spartans and the Elites.

Oh YAH! That would definately be nice. I havent thought of that. And maybe like each player could sort of command there own squad. Kinda like in brute force. just not as tactical.

"I'm hungry..."

One word.


JUGGERNAUT!


The one game type where not everyone is the same already; why not make it so you can be a powerful hunter or (fox and hound style) be a lowly, but awesome grunt. Kill the grunt or hunter, become the grunt or hunter.


Or brute, or prophet, or whatever.

Dawn of the Dead video Here
6 Minutes of Hell video here

Playing as a grunt sucks. Playing as a hunter, sucks. I've done them both with modding, and it is terrible. Grunts are slow, weak, and crappy. Hunters are slow, take forever to do anything, take 5 seconds to recover from a jump, only have ONE weapon, that isn't very much fun to use, not to mention the fact that they won't fit in any vehicals. You would not like playing as anything else, it would destroy the game.

dudes, its not that hard, you can have balance by useing different features. like a drone may not be very strong but their incredibly agile, they would be good against banshees and ground troops, where as a jackal may be weak as a mother, but the have those pimp ass sheilds and are awesome snipers. grunts... ok, yeah they suck, but it would still be awesome to play as them (or at least amuseing, no one can deny that), and ODST's are friggin awesome, there like mini cheifs. marines are like jackals and hunters are like wraiths or something, formidble, but not invincible. yes, its all about balance, but not about every one being able to do the same thing.

how about having TWO DIFFERENT game types (i.e. PDZ) where one is ranked w/ just spartans(and elites) and then one with the other skins for special gametypes that is unranked

Think how cool it will be to have a game where the juggernaut is a master chief and everyone else is a Marine

or in big team is should be human vs aliens. And human get 1 master chief and alien get 1 elite

you played on a horrible mod then, my mods were tuned just right to have balance but still be fun
i made grunts faster than in campaign but still weak,
marines/ODSTs couldnt melee but they could roll to the side or dive forward
hunters could have melee charges and could start running but couldnt change direction while running and could only fire every 5 seconds
jackals can hold a position really well and have super-sensitive motion detectors that show even non-moving people within 15 feet, but have one slot permenately accupied by a plasma pistol
flood can take alot of damage and jump really far but have horrible recoil from all weapons

i never finished drones because the controls never felt solid enough so i gave up on them

also weather is really cool- heavy rain on lockout assault ODSTs vs flood is insane same with the same conditions on turf
also a cut down relic w/ just the structure take the hill marines vs. jackals can be sweet

if the skins are done right, they work extreamly well, but there should be a different gamemode w/ just spartans for ranked games
