What about marines or ODSTS my young and egar friends they have the same shape as the MC and the only downside I have encountered to this edition is the fact that they are way shorter than the eltie or the cheif other than that slap some shields on him and you have another MP warrior.

Yeh.....but that wouldn't be very cool...

Also....I'm pretty sure that they aren't as fast as elites or spartans. I've outran ODSTs alot before...

And....they can't flip warthogs, ghosts, scorpians,

They can't use swords. They can't pilot banshees.

No flame intended

I would play as an elite in Halo 3 multiplayer if it wasn't unbalanced, meaning the elite isn't easier to hit and cause damage to.

Elites:

They are friggin huge. They are slightly larger targets. Their heads extend more, meaning easier headshots.

Compared to the MC, Marines are not only short, they're tiny. And Marines can't have shields(otherwise, every Marine would've been issued one provided they have the time and budget). It'd be like cooking him in a microwave.

How about..play as a Forerunner(if still alive)? Halo's given the human perspective, Halo 2 the Covenant's, that leaves the Forerunner mystery left to Halo 3. At the end of Halo 2, it seems to be going that way.

It's been proven, seriously, do an experiment. I had a group where a member made a video of an experiment that he did with an elite and a spartan. I wish I could find it...

Also, notice how none of the pros use 'em?

None taken but what I'm saying is (In MP) Bungie copies the same characteristics from an elite or spartan to one of an ODST or Marine.

Well, not really 'easier', but you're on the right track. More like the model is bigger, and catches more spray from SMG duels and such.

i play as an elite and i can kick anyones butt. but its not the size. they are virtually the same and the hit area for the head is the same as spartans. its seriously just a mental thing. if people think so then in reality it is to them so that how people think they are bigger.

anyways back to the post.

i would love to be like a hunter or something just different. i want different controls and strategies. thats why people want to be something differnt. i mean sure i love how halo 2 is now. but even in campaign mode ide like to a take a different perspective.

Yeah thats why master chief can kill 10 elites at a time.



I doubt that, But I do understand they have bigger head's but they look cooler.
