A modded map where all the players are grunts or where all the players are hunters?

im afraid im gonna have to confiscate your testicles.

What are you, the Cyber police? lol.

uhh hunter, you know why? There is already a map for grunt gulch on halo, you replace it with regular bloodgulch, and it makes it so every player is a grunt with all the works and that, infact you efven get to drive a covenant dropship :).

Playing as a Hunter, or a Grunt is no fun. Believe me. You cannot mellee when you're a Hunter, it's automatically scripted to mellee when it gets near an enemy. You can, however, only walk and shoot. Grunts would be better because they can actually move and throw grenades (which usually drop right at their feet XD).

It'd suck, believe me :P

I think Hunters would be a bit better in player survivability. Grunts are cool and funny, but they're too easy to kill. And besides, Hunters have Fuel-Rod Guns which make for one hell of a frag-fest.....

Now when you say that it'll melee when you get close to someone, will it melee when you get close to someone on the said modded map? Or does the scripting only work with the Master Chief's and the Flood's character models?
Here's my opinion:
Hunters on Blood Gulch-Good
Grunts on Blood Gulch-Maybe
Hunters on Boarding Action-Bad, unless you're using a bombardment tactic
Grunts on Boarding Action-Good
Hunters on any close combat level-Bad
Grunts on any close combat level-Good
Hunters on any other wide open level-Good
Grunts on any other wide open level-Maybe
Both on any medium-sized level-Good

So, when can we expect this modded map? And can Halo PC users enjoy it? (Please, please, please, please, please.....)

Sidenote:How do you get the Engineer in the game?!? I've read about it, but I can't seem to find a mod anywhere..... Wikipedia photo here. You have to scroll down to the photo, but it's there.

I'm not usually comfortable with any mod that lets you play as anything other than a spartan, because they're quite amateurish most of the time and you end up bored in a few minutes.

I got an Engineer in to the game on Multiplayer. Let's just say it's secretly hidden in on of the single player maps. They hover, and when you kill them, they just fall down and stay down.

It's very, very akward playing as a Huner. I played as a Hunter with a friend, and it was just retarded. You can't even melee :(

Edit: And playing as the flood isn't fun either, again, you can't melee or run fast. Those were scripted in to the ai.

Well, I can make your wishes come true. If you have Halo CE or Halo PC I can make you play anything you want and see how "fun" it is.

Playing a full party of grunts might be fun though :P

He heh. It would give a whole new meaning to "Grunt Birthday Party".

Playing as Elites is fun. They jump really high and run real fast.

Nice one, what if it was actually played on someone's birthday?
"I'll give you a present, alright, a plasma present!"
Say, can you implant music into modded maps? Just wondering.
Maybe you could make it so that if you're red, you're a Grunt, and so on, like this:
Red=Grunt
White=Infection Form
Black=Carrier Form
Green=Combat Form, Human
Yellow=Combat Form, Elite
Blue=Elite
Maroon=Engineer
Sage=Jackal
Salmon=Hunter
Brown=Jungle Marine (The kind without the armor)
Tan=Combat Marine (The kind with the armor)
Teal=Sergeant Johnson
Grey=Standard Sergeant
Pink=Naval Personnel (The perpetually scared guys with pistols)
Purple=Lifeboat Pilot
Cyan=Captain Keyes
Orange=Master Chief
Cobalt=Cortana, maybe?
If that's either too hard or impossible, just let me know. I was just making a suggestion.
