Even though i am new to the froums i have been reading the Halo 3 threads for like 2 weeks and have come to the resolution that people think that NEW CHARACTERS would be unbalanced and stupid. I agree. But what about seperate gametypes? Say, ODST's versus Elites or Brutes. Marines vs. Grunts or Jackals. Spartans vs. Elites (Obviously) Mixed Spartans and Elites vs Mixed Spartans and Elites (Like we already have) and finally Elites and Spartans vs. Hunters. The reason i didnt add stupid ideas like the Flood, Prophets, or Buggers (w/e you call them) Flood would be to unbalanced because flood themseves are stronger than reg. troops, 50ft high jump vs. 12ft high jump? No. Maybe flood would be a good idea i dont know. Flame away, or add constructive critisism (too lazy to spell right) or add on. :)

thank you, i have posted this many times before, having a offline only hardmodded xbox/computer hybrid that has the gametypes you suggested
but i want a seperate gamemode for ranks that is like the Halo 2 MP

unbalanced is good-
i have games that are juggernaught-like that involve marines vs. a hunter, grunts vs. a SPARTAN, and jackals vs. a brute

and games that have marines vs jackals that are elimination (3 lives) where the jackals hold a hill and the marines have to take it

or Dawn of the Dead that has the "zombies" as actual flood (w/o the insane jumping)

or "the holy ones" where it is ODSTs and a spartan vs honor gaurd elites that must protect the Prophet of truth (only gametype w/ a prophet)

and many more

when done right, other skins can be extreamly fun, but they could not be ranked, there would have to be a normal stlye game for ranked games

also- just because i am a modder does not mean i approve of modding online, i, along with most of the modding community, condemn the use of mods during online play
I HAVE NEVER MODDED ONLINE

Very nice. Thats what i meant with the Elites AND Spartans vs. Hunters. Also, yes maybe the gametypes wouldnt be like only that. Whne you amke a custom gametype u could say Red Team= Marines Blue t. = Grunts etc stuff like that. Thanks for not flaming i like your ideas.


*Edit*
I have modded (tryed) also amn dont be ashamed i tried doing it for the fun of trying new thigns and adding cool things

Some people think that i accept your oppinion. And if u like killing grutns so much (says your name) why not kill them in MP. (Pwned) :)

We could throw in Sentinels. They have shields, you could throw on a form of the Banshee controls, and the sentinel beams would have infinite ammo and a tad higher ammo. The disadvantage would be they suck at long range and killing vehicles.

Hmmm maybe like u would have sentinels versus unarmed flood form. Maybe ill think about sentinels. Hmmm.... YOU were the bomb. Sounds crazy but maybe bots could carry you around and u would tell them to melee with you haha. Hehe maybe not but cool idea XD

As i said before Red Team could equal Marines and Blue = Grunts maybe custom gametype all species Pink = Sentinels? Yellow = Jackals?

Gametypes on XBL could be Team Species Fiesta spawn as random species i know unbalanced but fun anyway. Team Marine vs. Grunt. (Not Team game) Marines and Grunts FFA

Procrastination never ends...

Marines and grunts exclusive to a SWAT gametype might work.

While that would be somewhat cool, that is a very large implementation into a game which is already good as is. You know what they say, if it aint broke, don't fix it. Unless they already had plans for adding in more characters, I don't imagine they are going to.

===The Player===
* Color slider for more unique colors
* Change color of faceplate
* Add minimal battle damage/scratches to different parts of your armor.
* More icon options
* Add your custom icon on 1 (min.) to 5 places (max.) on your body.
* Change undersuit color.

Male Human
MK V MJOLNIR armor
MK VI MJOLNIR armor
MK VII MJOLNIR armor (if they include the Spartan IIIs)

Female Human
MK V MJOLNIR armor
MK VI MJOLNIR armor
MK VII MJOLNIR armor (if they include the Spartan IIIs)

Elite
Regular Elite armor
Zealot/Ultra (The y have Spikier Helmet)
The Arbiter armor
Elite Honor Guard armor
Heretic rrmor
Heritic Leader Armor

Flood Elite form (with shields)
Just a regular Elite Flood...

Flood Spartan
ONLY if we encounter these in Halo 3..

-----
All these characters are about 7ft tall, and would have the same hitboxes like Elites and Spartans have now in Halo 2...This would allow for more customizability, and more immersion while not unbalancing things.
-----
You should also be able to choose each seperate armor section depening on which race you choose ( so you could have the MK VI helmet on a MK V body, and then have MK VII legs) and choose each seperate armor plate sections color, via a color slider.

1.I wanted to bring Flood Spartan and Flood Elite up but was afraid to be flamed so awsome idea.
2. All great ideas i agree with all want the more customization and more genders etc.
3. I will read your link later i am also in your group.
4. AWWWSOME idea with teh different armors all should have same sheild strength but it would be cool to have a preference of look among players.
5. Your ideas are totally awsome i love them love them love them i just think they are so awsome and reasonable.

Grammar? Dude ive been using periods and a whole lot of -blam!-in grammatical -blam!-. And yes too bad Bungie doesn't look in the forums. And also yes a zombie gametype with Flood would be awsome.

Btw even if there were female characters their armor would be the same. No breast plates if thats what you were thinking :P pervs. Anyways grunts marines probably won't make it into multiplayer spartans and elites are pretty much the only two that are compatible for equal bistandards.


INFECTION______________


Btw the zombie game type I made a thread about a long time ago where one team starts as flood infection forms and the spartans/elites have no radar then the infection forms can attact to the spartan/elite and take control of him then the person that has been taken control of can see what the enemy is doing in fp but can't control what is happening. To win all on other team must be turned into flood. Then if all the spartans and elites on one team survive the team as the flood do not score a point. Then positions are switched the team that were flood are now spartans/elite and the spartans/elites are now flood.
