You're an idiot. Stop asking to play as a grunt or jackel or whatever else. You have to have characters that have the same structure as the MC so it's even (like the elites). Grunts are too small. Brute's are too big. etc.

yeah, but brutes arent a bad idea, they are the same size. Remember, Multiplayer doesnt need to worry about realism, the brutes can have sheilds too.

Well,...yes. They aren't balenced, but I just made this poll for fun. But if you think of it, each character would have thier pros and cons. For example, grunts are small, they would make great snipers. Jackels have the energy sheilds and they are small and fast. Hunters are big and strong, they cold be allowed in mulitplayer to bash into warthogs.

The brutes are about the same size as elites and spartans. And they could have 2-3x more healt but no shield. Yes it would be unbalanced in a standard game like Slayer or CTF, but it could be in a special gametype made for that kind of thing, like Spartans/Elites vs Brutes.

Also, multiplayer would be great with some diversity. I don't know about you, but I get tired sometimes of seeing Spartens and the occasional Elite.

Marines(Halo 2) because they're so bad ass(not as much as the Chief of course) but the problem is they do not have shielding. It would still be awesome. What about Helljumpers?

brutes would be cool to see there animations stealing vehicles if any thing i wanna see all those animation of the grunt jumping on the warthog over the windsheild on your face snap your neck and ride of into the sunset or the brute getting run into by the warthog and destroying the worthog and himselfor even the brute grabing the worthog and pushing it fully over those animations would be awesome

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

Have you ever heard of the Halo 3 Bots Idea???

So knowing that, I want every character from each version of Halo!

Too bad the only people that have shields are Elites and Spartans. It would be way too easy to kill anything else. One shot Battle Rifle kill for the win ;)

  • 07.12.2006 10:02 AM PDT

Hunters, who else is there? The hunters take forever to kill unless your dumb enough to expose the skin. You have the full rod cannon and that huge shield. The best combo there is.

The Spartans and the Elites aren't the only ones with shields. I mean theres the Jackal's and the hunter's.

Exactly. And that would be like, thier only weakness in mulitplayer. Other than that, you would just have to shoot them until they die.

Hunters would be an alright idea because what they lack for in speed they make up in strength and toughness.

We have to much of a ballancing act in our daily lives mediocraty breeds dullness.

I want every character playeble in halo's multi player.

Imagine " the day we the Grunts man handled those -blam!- brutes in a game of ctf and i single handly t bagged every other aponant!"

Thats triumph. Thats a good game when people can play in slanted odds and own the -blam!- out of wevery one.

Imagine " the day we the the jackle clan protected our base for an hour against the spartan onslaught and sniope a hundred men!"

I have a dream! A dream where characters like "oddjob" get the respect they deserve and we think about the big picture!

We need this we want this and we will have options to control the rules of our game do not limit the potential by your nearsides oppionions. Think big and know that controls will be givin.

Picture this, if you will? Your playing BTB Skirmish and you have two hunters on your team, get two guys behind each hunter and charge to the base. The hunters will be your shield against sniper bullets and other crap they through your way. Or you could put both hunters on top of Blue or Red base on Coag and they can be your defense, instead of leaving those weak Spartans to defend the base.
(No offense to Spartans).

why don't we just have a multiplayer character that's 1 billion miles tall, walks 2 billion miles per hour, is invincible, invisible, and every shot he takes, it nukes the entire galaxy?! how about that?!!!

No new multiplayer characters in Matchmaking, they'd be too unbalanced, but custom games would be fine, it'd be fun to run around a map as a grunt or flood or something

A spartan worth his weight in lead would laugh at such an foe. You sir should be kicked out of the armed services. You disgust me.

add brutes, flood, and marines. they are all about the right size...and just give them shields in multiplayer. it doesn't matter if they don't have shields in campaign.
