Elite/Marine/ODST character model for customs

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

This sort of branches of from a couple thread suggesting that players should reprise their ability to play as an Elite, but it’s different.

What if we could have the option of playing as multiple character models, but only within custom games? I can already see a flood of custom gametypes that can spawn from this addition, not to mention how useful this would be to our fellow machinima makers.

Each character model would be an accurately represented (ie: if an Elite is 8ft, then he is 8ft) and will have base traits buffed/nerfed accordingly.

Worth the dev time? Can you think of custom gameypes that could take advantage of this?

Inb4 all ODST’s are spartan IV’s

I would love this, I loved playing as a Spartan without shields on. I loved the Elites at Halo reach, It was their best appearance in all of Halo games IMO.

And I’m pretty sure that it really isn’t that hard to port the Game models in forge.

I would love to see them flesh out Custom Games. Honestly anything that can be done (within the confines of the hardware as well as development time) should be available in Custom Games. It’s all about options, if they can add more then they should.

Having player models of each Covenant species, Marines/ODST, Flood and Forerunners each with their own player traits that would be awesome. But I don’t see that ever being done. It would take away a lot of development time for Campaign and the more mainstream Matchmaking.
Unfortunately for anything like this to happen you’d need the game to be on PC. It’s usually the modders that really open the box and make the impossible happen.

If this is the case…

The player models should be quite generous…

  • Human Marine
  • Human ODST
  • Sangheili Warrior
  • San’Shyuum Prophet
  • Jiralhanae Cheiftain
  • Kig-Yar
  • T’vaoan
  • Ibie’sh
  • Unggoy
  • Huragok
  • Forerunner
  • Sentinel (Aggressor)
  • Promethean Knight
  • Promethan Watcher
  • Promethean Crawler
  • Flood Combat Form

Although this may deem quite large of a scope for just custom games… and also the armor permutations… so we should just get a varied few:

  • Human ODST - Marines/ODST variants of the BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) and ODST armor.

  • Spartan-IV - Spartan variants of the Mjolnir Power Armor Systems, GEN1 and GEN2.

  • Sangheili (Elites) - Sangheili variants of the Combat Harness, used in both the Covenant Empire and Covenant Remnants.

  • Jiralhanae (Brutes) - Jiralhanae Power Armor, used in Covenant Empire and Covenant Remnants.

  • Promethean Knights (Knights) - Promethean Automaton variants of the Forerunner Combat Skin.

  • Flood Combat Form (Flood) - Flood Combat Form variants of Flood aberrations and grotesque formations.

ODST for me in a firefight related playlist

I could see a firefight/survival customs being made out of this. I like survival games! Horror zombie mode(Flood), Survivors(Marines), that would be so much fun! The cool thing is that the marines can be infected.

So, if your characters health is low, your character will turn into a flood. Then you will have to wait until next turn. Oh, this sounds fun! Or if you get infected you join the flood and try to kill the remaining marines, to end the game. I like it.
