If bungie tried, they could make every one of those characters playable.

sorry this doesn't have anything to do with the topic, but i just found what looks to be a design for a marine in halo 3 at exactly 2:58 in the "Making Of" video. I just got a new account so i can't post a new topic for 24 hours, so i came to the top topic, and sorry again for being off course


i know you guys are busy flaming each other, but i think i might have found a previously unknown picture of a halo 3 marine, and he looks awesome! the picture is on the right side monitor at 2:58 in the making of documentary, so check it out, and sorry if this has already been found


cool

What I'm saying is that multiple playable characters is a bad thing, if you didn't get that the first time around.


Yes and i'm saying you're being narrow-minded and afraid of trying new things.


I'm not afraid of trying new things. I don't want to see the old features go.

Why fix what isn't broken? Adding more characters would completely alter Halo's gameplay.

Even if it makes it *better*, it wouldn't be Halo anymore.

Halo is doing pretty well in the state that its in... why risk changing a winning formula for an initial shock factor, which translates into a shorter lifespan of the game in the long run.

You are the narrow-minded one. Think of the implications adding multiple characters instead of deciding, without thinking, that it would be a cool "twist".



Yeah so, Dual weilding completely altered its game-play and i'm sure alot of people protested it, just like the sword...but it was still included and it added to the interactivity of the game play and made it more diverse and fun to explore. I mean, they included the elite in mp, sure people didnt like it, but its up to them. If they didnt want it, they didnt choose it, simple as that. Maybe make it so that you can choose the characters you're aloud to have in the game, for example, a match where characters can choose MC's or Hunters, but no grunts or elites.. or an all MC match, whatever the point is it would break the limits that the previous games had. Its not like people would STOP playing Halo 3 just because they tryed something new you know. I'm not being narrow minded, i'm giving options.

You could have games with only certain characters, unranked , and many other possibilities so why not include them, I voted for marine cause there cool

God damn it, i havent heard an explanation thats good.. why wouldnt it be fun to have more then 2 players? I mean it would add to strategy and it would at to diversity and game-play.

Dual wielding created unbalance. Think about it for a second. You've now got half guns (all one-handed guns), and full guns (all two-handed guns), and in order to match a two-handed gun you need to pick up two one-handed guns. So what happens when you've got just one half-gun? (for example, when you spawn!) You're defensless against the people who spawn near the *better* two-handed guns.

If you disagree, answer this. If there were no other weapons on the map, would you ever willingly swap a battle rifle for a magnum? A plasma rifle?

I mean, they included the elite in mp, sure people didnt like it, but its up to them. If they didnt want it, they didnt choose it, simple as that.

And yet the majority (atleast 90%) play as spartans, because the elite model isn't balanced as a result of it being a larger target.

Maybe make it so that you can choose the characters you're aloud to have in the game, for example, a match where characters can choose MC's or Hunters, but no grunts or elites.. or an all MC match, whatever the point is it would break the limits that the previous games had. Its not like people would STOP playing Halo 3 just because they tryed something new you know. I'm not being narrow minded, i'm giving options.

If it was an option, fine. But I don't want it to take over the default game.

I already covered this in that post on the first page. Hard to miss, it only takes up about... half the page?

I read it, and i still think you're under-estimating bungies capabilitys, i'm sure they can make it fun and balanced even with more characters.

Fun and *balanced, sure.

But not organized or simple, two key aspects of both Halo 1 and (to a lesser extent) Halo 2.

...why? just for variety?

Of course it would be interesting, and possibly great fun if done right. But it would ruin gameplay, and I think gameplay is the most important element in a game.
