Many people have been asking for the ability to play other characters in multiplayer, such as hunters, brutes, and grunts. Many of you disagree, stating that it would be detrimental to gameplay. And it WOULD be detrimental. So...

What I was thinking, "Why not have a seperate, off-line only gametype that lets you play as other characters in the game. You would pick the map, set the gametype to this, and start the game. When the game starts, you get to pick from whatever Bungie would want you to play as (I'd like to see them all, but beggars can't be choosers) and when you die, you are asked again. (Kind of like the character selection screen of the Starwars Battlefront games).

This gametype, however, would not be on xbox live and would be a sort of goofy, fun gametype; not meant to be taken seriously and just for playing around or getting screenshots or videos. It would not hurt Halo 3's multiplayer at all, because you don't have to play it if you don't want to.

It would be an awesome addition for machinima, too.

Your idea is much better than any of the ones I've heard before. You changed my mind.

"I'm hungry..."

Glad to hear it. So many people frown on the multi-character thing because of the balance issues. This gametype wouldn't be about balance; just for fun.

Another thing I think would be interesting is a program similar to the Half-Life 2 Gary's Mod that allows you to spawn anything from the game, except it would be the Halo stuff.
