I'd like to be a human combat form or an elite combat form, both with identical stats to the MC.

It would be cool if you could play as an infection form, with little health. You could jump on a host and take their body permanently.

That would be freakin funny to hear actually. Anyways all they need to do is increase health on like grunts and marines(if they are in it) or add shields.

Can we get one thing straight?

When you change from a Spartan to Elite, that is a player model

When you change the color of the Player model thats the skin..

Why can't people just accept things as they are when they are all ready good and wonderful. Keep trying to make things better and you end up making them worse.

Because everything has to be equal and balanced to a spartan, Now to be able to change from H1, H2, and H3 armor styles would be sweet for the Spartan. and to be able to switch elite classes with honor gaurd, Heretic and the regular elite would be sweet.

but not anyother alien or human, they wouldnt stand up to 8' tall aliens and spartans. So having them in the game would be bad because humans dont have shield and are at leat 2' shorter than spartans and elites. Brutes would be stupid and bulky and really tall. Everything else would be too weak. Spartans and Elites are equal

Although you should be able to change shield color

maybe we could have a playlist to where everyone picks a charcter (spartan, grunt, etc) and have like capture the flag or something, jackal would snipe, elite with sword and such. 1 charcter for each team.

Grunts - funny yes, can it be realisticly implemented no (it wont balance with the spartans and elites)
Brutes - maybe would be interesting be no way to balance with other skins really
Marines/ODSTs - same as grunts really
Heretic elites/Arbiter - yep could deffinately work but not really different enough to be worth doing
The flood - would have to be combat forms with shields but deffinitely could work and would be sweet too

B a n a n a s

TERRIBLE IDEA... Anyone here remember Goldeneye 64? ( Oh wait, that was before all the ten year olds on these forums were around ) You remember Oddjob? You remember all the glitches involved with different character skins?

Its a waste of Bungie's time to build character skins, and it would take away from the idea of YOU being the MC. In Halo 2, they brought in the Elites. ELITES, NOT Grunts, Hunters and all that immobile and slow stuff. Weres the equality of a grunt against a Jackle? Aside from what i belive to be, well, absolute -blam!-ness of a SHIELD, the grunt is a small pudgeball, whereas a Jackle is a tall, slender, skinny enemy. Who has the advantage? Hell, the Grunt can't even Hold a Sniper Rifle, Let alone a sword.

To all you 10 year olds who with for A SCARAB GUN IN MULT1PLAYER!!?!?!?!?! and a NEW CHARACT3R SK1nnnn- TAHT WAS TEH SW33Tn33s!!! Remember that it is Bungie who makes the game, and thak GOD IT NOT YOU! Stop making idea threads like these, as the case is simply: if Bungie has not thought of it yet, it will NOT be in the game unless it is a very,very, small detail, and no way in Hell would they listen to the people on these Forums for ideas, Frankie has mentioned twice already that NO ideas are even thought of being taken off this site, mainly due to legal problems... Sure you are the Biggest Halo fan now, but when Bungie takes one of your PR3C10US - (precious) ideas and doesn't pay you money, or acknowledge you in the Credits...can anyone smell a lawsuit?

O, and by the way, NEW SKINS FOR CHARACERS?!?!~?!?!?!!?!?!!?!? Really caught my attention... Wait, no, it just pissed me off...

I like the way you think, and there should be a wider color range to choose from, and more customizable emblems.
