If they balance it right it could work, give the marine some advantages, i wouldnt mind playing a weak marine actually could be fun for a few minnutes, maybe if im able to call in reinforcements or heal the cheif or call air strikes or somthing like that

Thank you real one eye, the was my point exactly! Fargoth im a nice guy too but what makes you think your opinions right! I think it could be used at the end of the day and im not saying you have to like PDZ but looking at the outcome of the reviews its a good game. Perhaps you should consider just how 'nice' you are on these forums and just simply say whether you like the idea or not rather than putting the person down who the idea originated from.

Death incarnate wicked idea, thats the sort of idea i was thinking about. Of course this idea would mean altering gameplay but it seems like it would make it really fun!

If it bothers you so much that there are 2 Chief's in co-op why the hell do you play Halo? Seriously. It's a game. Get over it.

"Oh -blam!- Bungie, co-op is unrealistic, sacrifice gameplay to ensure that it's more realistic."

Retarded idea #63000000.


Acutally, your just sick of it. People are different might I remind you. If your not interested in this topic then just leave the topic and never look at it again. You don't have to put it down as a retarded idea, that's just plain mean and your thinking of yourself as practically better then everyone else.

Yes I think it would be better that the second player in co-op would be someone other then master chief like a marine, but wouldn't that disable you of having a shield, then again you could just hide behind the first player. Maybe when MC meets up with the Arbiter the second player can be him, and when you might not of met up with him and your at the Arbiter's plot you could be Sargent Johnson. But that is just my suggestion, you don't need to insult it.

It doesnt make much sense to have a SPARTAN vs a marine in multiplayer? The SPARTAN would easily destroy a marine. Would you balance the two out? If so, that's not very realistic. Elites and MC are almost equal, except MC has superior armor. Ignoring this to make the MC and Elite equal is understandable. To go as far to make a marine equal as MC is just too unrealistic. The only options are other SPARTANS or ELITES. If it is anything else you would have do a class based multiplayer.

No -blam!- marines! Are you all retarded? There could be another Spartan. With the same colour. Because they have been equipped with the same armour.Obviously. Then you could chose who to use from a list of 4-5 Spartans. There could of course be some slight differenses; i.e. one could make a little bit more damage with melee attacks and one could run slightly faster. And they could have different starting weapons.
Btw. Elites are not equal to Spartans. When the humans stole the Elites' shield technology they improved it a lot. And the Elites' armour is just armour. The Spartans' armour is an exoskeleton too which enchances their strength about 6 times.

You face an opponent who has never known defeat, who laughs in foreign tongues at your efforts to survive. This is Reply suicide.

Cooperative is just a way to go through the game with another player. It changes up the gameplay and adds replay value. Cooperative is a FEATURE.

I like FEATURES, but I don't demand they be "realistic".

In PDZ, making the other player one of the people who was around was rather stupid. It didn't make much sense in most of the levels. For instance, in the stake-out level... Chandra is supposed to be on the boat, waiting to retrieve them. But somehow, on cooperative, she ditches the boat (who knows where that went?) and joins Joanna on the mission. Stupid.

Playing in this fashion also means that EVERY level had to have at least ONE helpful character of yours in it. Like Jonathan or Chandra, or even a regular soldier (like in the case of Mission 12).

I like cooperative just the way it is. It has been so good that I haven't questioned why there were two Arbiters in Halo 2 or why there were two Master Chiefs in Halo 1 and 2. It just didn't matter much to me, because it's a feature. It's not the actual game, it's just a feature to increase replay value and to let you play with your friend (because cooperative games are awesome).

If they decide to change it up for Halo 3, it won't bug me... But I do hope that if they change it, you get the colors and the looks of your "character model" instead of the green that you start with.

I agree completely. It really doesn't matter about 'realism' in this context. Are you going to complain that multiplayer is unrealistic next?

I still reckon my idea of co op would be good where one player is a spartan and others are different clsees in the marine core each having an advantage! POOP ASS

You're welcome to think that way.... But I'd rather play as Master Chief or a Spartan instead of something else... Like a Marine.

I don't know, I like the idea of being a supersoldier in the future instead of a SOCOM wannabe who gets his face shot in and dies, leading to a 3 second lifespan in any REAL battle of Halo 3.


But that's just me!

I know i have to admit on pdz some of the scenarios dont make sense. On The subway retrieval level chandra is suppose to be securing a safe extraction and guiding you thru the level to the suitcase but shes there with you but still its nice for rare to try.

Yeah, that would be pretty cool. I like my personal multiplayer character a lot more than the standard MC.
