Yes, the probably will implement this idea in H3:  46%
(22 Votes)
No, they probably won't implement this idea in H3:  54%
(26 Votes)
Total Votes: 48

This is NOT a poll to see how many of you like this idea. This is a poll to see how many of you would think Bungie would use this idea in Halo 3.

Okay... so here's the big idea...

(drumroll please...)

Having more skins to choose from in multiplayer. More armor, emblems and colors would be cool, but I'm mainly talking about character models (i.e. Jackal, Grunt, Hunter, Flood Combat Form, ODST, Marine, etc.).

So please use the poll to vote whether you think Bungie will put this in Halo 3 or not. Again don't vote whether you want it or not.

Okay! Let the predictions begin!

I would. It would be cool for already made skins, like different pattersn and stuff. More colors and emblems, too.

Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

by skins do you mean armor skins for the elite and spartan, or do you mean character skins like brute, marine etc.???

now you tell us?'

No freakin way... unless you had a game mode where everyone was a grunt, ODST, Marine, ect.

becuase Elites and Spartans have shields... no one else does, so therfore gameplay would suck.

I like to knit sweaters.....and by knit I mean PUNCH....and by sweaters I mean babies.

Macgyver can build an airplane out of gum and paper clips, but Evil One can kill him and take it.

No because they want to finish the game BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD !

Gee Whiz, Wicked Evil One. It wouldn't take that long. Other games have had way more character models to choose from in the past.

Well, I didn't mention any specifications like this, I just simply asked if it was plausible that Bungie might include it. I'd suspect, if they did, they would take care of any balancing issues that needed to be dealt with.

Exactly. If one person was an elite, and another was a grunt or human, the grunt or human would get killed. a lot.

However, a mode where everyone's a specific race would be kinda fun.

In the existing halo 2 and 1, all you have to do to simulate playing marines would be to enable "no shields," right?

no, it's been brought up several times and it always comes back to one thing, how far would it be for a grunt to go up against a spartan??? or a brute against a jackal??? or even an ODST against a spartan???

the problem here is aesthetics my friend. a grunt holding the bomb will be a hell of a lot harder to find than an elite or spartan doing the same. if you are going to add new character builds you need to make sure that they are consistent with the existing ones. and that really leaves no other candidates other than elites and spartans. brutes are larger in stature, and have no shields, and humans (ODST or otherwise) are smaller with no shields.

It just wouldn't work out.

I'm sure Bungie, in all of it's intellectual glory, could figure out a way to balance the gameplay. Maybe they would do it by adding special abilities to each character or adding shields to all characters in MP only.

I don't think so, because different models equal advantages or disadvantages. For instance the marines are shorter and thinner (same for jackals). This would be an advantage for the fact that they would be harder to hit, but a disadvantage, because if they are shorter than there might be instances where you need to see over a pillar in the distance to snipe someone, but your too short. Obviously there are other reasons, but basically i say: no.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

your still not taking the size into account though. the could easilly make all races run at the same speed and jump the same height and hit just as hard as a spartan or elite but the size is the main issue. example: a grunt with a sniper rifle is running accross a bridge with waist high sides (think zanzibar) and you can't see him. you could see a spartan or elite doing that, even if they are crouching you can see the top of them. little things like that drastically effect gameplay. regardless of how "fun" it may be to mix it up it would ultimately result in a whole lot of "well the only reason you beat me is because you were a _______ and i was a _______" and quite frankly people already cry about the make believe differences between the spartan and elite, they don't need more reasons to complain.

i can tell you right now they probably did but i'm looking for more costumizing your guy. like battle damage, costume emblems (like paint or photeshop), map editer. map i love huge battles with every thing on it. i hope bungie realy takes multiplayer and dingle to 5 new levels. well as far as size goes i think bungie will have to keep the realy small guys out of gamplay. but like i saw in a few posts agoe some one said marine and jackels being to small for some objects i think bungie will down scall some things to let them use the object just like a spartan or elite do. brutes on the other hand would have a big disanvdatige. their size just gives them away like drugs and guns in the gheto. even if the crouch they still look like a mountain of hair.

Bungie will definitely not allow for anything smaller than MC or an Elite in multiplayer, now if in the Halo 3 storyline there are some new enemies and they are the same size as the Master Chief then maybe they MIGHT put it in there but I honestly didn't even want the Elites, just let us have Spartans and that's it.

read my post again. as for new enemies no way. the covies all ready have 8 races. the last one is the enginer.

Each time someone stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. That hope is three little numbers: 1 - 1 - 7.

There is hope in us all. We gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face. We must do the thing which we think we cannot do; stand with the Master Chief and Finish this Fight!

Heh the votes are 50 - 50 at this point so my vote actually counts but I am voting against it as I dont think that an Anti-matter gun will be balance out in the Weapons area!

YTF does everybody think that you should be able to play as the grunt, jackel, etc.? They DONT have shields like the Elite and MC. They are too small, too much armor, slow, get my point? How stupid would it look if a hunter was driving a Ghost or a jackel jumping into a Banshee. Think B4 you post pple.
