or maybe oposite, the rookies will have the weaker and the experienced will have the stronger.

I don't think they should, because it would offset the balance of elites versus spartans.

Im leaning towards a no. Sure, Ive always wanted to play as an ODST, but, Halo 2 is all about balance in multiplayer. So if you could play as ODST, theyd have to be equal to a spartan, which wouldnt happen. ONly if they had like, Elite versus Spartan and Brute versus ODST, maybe that would be fair....

Only if you are allowed to also play these units.

Grunt
Jackal
Regular Marine

and each unit (including Spartans and Elites) has a set limit as to how many of them can be used.

Oh my god i would love to play as a grunt online in any halo 2 game!!! It would be so frickin cool. I wouldn't even cared if i died a lot. Any excuse to run around like a madman screaming my head off, and "Acting scared" .

But yeah Bungie would have to work thier collective butts off to do that sucsesfuly(SP). Maybe that could be downloadable content in a year or so!!! I doubt it will happen though. I don't think as many people would want that as badly as i do.

If they only looked different, they were just the same as spartans in mplayer then it'd be ok I guess... They don't look that different from MC in that one screenshot they have of them on Zanzibar...

about balancing:

i think elites are as strong as odst's and brutes are as strong as spartans. elites should be weaker than spartans. else it's a bit inbalanced. but I don't care. elites vs spartans rocks anyway.

Elites are stronger than humans, full stop. Just think about a Elite melee attack in Halo they are powerful Marines dont hit anyone cos it wont hurt! And ODST's arent much different to Marines
Also even if ur right about Brutes being as strong as spartans, they dont appear to have a shield! or indeed armour (although this may be changed in 6 months).
Elites are the perfect blance to Spartans, they are about the same size, have similar shields and move at aroud the same speed!

well ye thats true but think about how cool it would be to be a helljumper (ODST's) there the stepdowm versions pf spartans and the step up from marines. Hey if they're better than marines does that mean they will different weapons and special upgrade stuff?

Elites are stonger, faster, and hit harder than the Chief by far. The lowest ranking Elite can take 50 MA5B shots, while the Chief can only take 22 before he croaks. Elites out run Spartans due to their long legs, as a bonus they can jump higher as well. They also smack/grip harder and that is without the addition of MJOLNIR armor. That is their natural strength. The only reason why the Chief can take them on is because he is smarter and innovative. So I don't know what you are talking about them being balanced for. Because they are not.

If they are more intelligent than the Marines in Halo Im gonna love em! But i dont see the attraction of being a Helljumper, sure they have a cool name and look cool but so does the Spartan. So i think ill stick with my superhuman soldier thanks =D

Even on Legendary, Blue Elites didn't take 50 MA5B shots... Unless you allowed them to recharge their shields....

The difficulty of the war we fight in. Legendary. It even says that an Elite takes 50 inside the Flood. In chapter one if I am correct.

There won't be ODST people in multiplayer.

My god, the amount of stupidity on this board is huge. You should all be glad Halo 2 is actually going to be made instead of whining at Bungie trying to get them to put in what you want.

Bull-blam!- buddy. I have counted, and their shields never had a spare second to recharge when I did.

I think you might find the amount of shots needed to take out an elite may increase as the difficulty goes up, once again I could be wrong! But it might be an idea to see how many shots it takes on normal! Things then may seem more blanced!
P.S. how can you be so sure your counting is so accurate?

1. I don't compare book to game, because there will always be differences...
2. I prefer video proof, stating you counted could be just like pulling a number out of your head at random and calling it fact...

Yes it does increase and the amount of hits it takes to kill you decreases. And how can I know if mine is so accurate? Simple. I count at least three times making sure each number is the same. And I am very carefull on my counting. If you don't believe that then read this.
