Should you be able to play as a marine or something, not just MC or an Elite?

No, Marines don't have energy shielding.
It would make the gameplay unbalanced.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

The rules, for balance,

1. Must be about the same size as MC.
2. Must have sheilding of equal power as MC.
3. Must have same survival rate.

This limits choices to Elite, Master Cheif, and Flood.

And since Flood have no obvious headshot placements that would make it unbalanced.

Do you feel what I feel, see what I see, hear what I hear?
There is a line you must draw between your dream world and reality

Brutes could possibly be used, even they don't have shields they are purty resilient.

In Halo 3 they can give them heads. THey had them in the first Halo...they were just sort of, uh, hanging back at a 180 degree angle.

-blam!- Rage

No one understands that Bungie could modify some characters to fit into MP, such as Sheilding and Health. They could also even expand or increase there height a little to make them match.
