Ok so many of you are complaining about wheather or not Super Grunts or Super Hunters should be put into Halo3. Well I have an idea.

Why not just make Hunters, flood(all types), grunts, sentinals, marines, ODST's, Jackels, and Brutes ONLY available in custom gametypes?

(*This is just a theory, i think it can be good or bad) *The following abilities*

Each would have a good abiltiy: Hunters are stronger
jackels have shields
Brutes can bezerk and so on....



Wouldn't it be awesome to play Zombies with actual flood that infects you?
How bout having walking Tanks (hunters) chase you down a hallway?

i said the same thing months ago...
people still debate it

P.S. i modded off line and had sweet battles of marines vs. jackals or juggernaught hunter vs. marines/spartan vs. grunts

but unfortunately my vid card got lost before i could put the vids online

No real lame ...If they put bull crap like that in the multiplayer then MLG wouldnt play it,and that would suck.........Elites as an option in h2 was garbage due too the fact that they are so fat and easyer to kill than spartans.

How would that work, though? Would you choose the character skin when creating a profile? Becasue if you did, what would happen when you went into matchmaking with a Grunt profile? If you chose your character before you spawn, that would make it too much like Battlefront games and would limit your abilities (i.e marines can only carry human weapons, Jackals can only carry single handed weapons, etc.) Halo games are about the player being able to utilize any weapon, piloting any vehicle, mastering any terain (the game manual says so.) Plus, I garuntee you that everyone would be a Grunt or a hunter the first week of the game's release, realise how sucky it is, then switch back to Spartans, and curse Bungie for being so stupid. I just don't like the idea.

NO! I am so sick and tired of people saying "HOW ABOUT GRUNTS OR BRUTES IN MULTIPLAYER!?!?!?!? OR MAYBE JETPACKS OR 2X SNIPPPPER RIFLES< OR AIRSTRIKES, OR MAYBEE A CHAINSAW?!?!? LOLZ" None of this stuff would work in Halo. Keep spartans and elites. NO ODSTS, NO MARINES, NO BRUTES. Some of this stuff sounds cool in theory but wont work in game. I posted this earlier and I know it won't be the last.

To yakuza:

Your throwing the entire idea away for MLG. If you only played Elites or Spartans in MLG, im sure you would be fine. I, however am talking about Tower of Power, Tremors, zomibes, etc. Games like those. Not MLG (and i understand how that would ruin MLG)

You won't get anywhere in life respond to thoughts by getting mad about them. You can however respond respectfully with your ideas.
