In past Halo games you could only play as Spartans and Elites, why not add some more playable species into the mix. Grunts, Brutes, Flood(wanted this 4ever), and “What ever the new enemy is”.
Just think about it.
if they did this for standard multiplayer it would look really weird, it would lose the classy look that Halo’s multiplayer has always had, it would be all ragtag and awkward.
i would love to see the flood in infection though. I don’t really understand why it hasn’t been that way from the start.
Brutes may be able to work in Multiplayer. If they are put in it should be on Custom Games and maybe social play lists only. Flood should only be playable in infection if you are infected. As for Grunts it would definitely be interesting to play as them, but it’s probably best if they aren’t. Maybe they can all be NPCs that you can put in Forge and Custom games?
Its a feasible Idea, but Brutes are stronger then Spartans… And Grunts are weaker than Elites. So how would it be made fair?
Anyway, Elites in Multiplayer have been Confirmed to not feature… And from somethings I have been reading Jackals haven’t been seen in the First Mission where we contact the Covenant so, Maybe no Jackals or Brutes in this game…
It would be near impossible to balance Brutes and Grunts in multiplayer, and it would fit in with the new multiplayer story a lot less than Elites.
So no, I’m afraid I cannot see any other character be playable in Halo 4 multiplayer, unfortunately. It would be interesting to see them being usable in a Star Wars : Battlefront-style game though!
Hunters would be Juggernauts
Drones would be EPIC!
And Grunts would be cool actually, SUICIDE GRUNTS and FUEL ROD GRUNTS!
All of the above!
were not even going to have elites this time so…
No
Where is my voting option for “None” learn how to make polls ppl
why would anyone choose to play as a grunt you would be at such a disadvantage and get slaughtered infinite amount of times
I would, instead of adding new characters add new vehicles to the infinity multiplayer. Imagine that you could fly around in a Pelican or a phantom. I hope the Elites still will be playable, at least in custom games. If someone would like to make a machinima video of any sort.
> All of the above!
U can choose all of the above. I just voted on every single one. Didn’t know u could do that…
I came up with a way to incorporate just about every species into multiplayer, as well as different classes of humans, those being Marines, ODSTs and Spartans.
Each species or human class would have pros and cons. The more armored characters would have damage bonus and be able to kill others quicker, while the less armor and/or slower would have points bonus due to the lack of armor/speed, yet still getting kills.
Trying to find the actual breakdown of this.
In the meantime, here’s a brief synopsis:
Marines would get more points for kills due to less armor and slower speed than spartans for instance. They would start with AR which also would give them more points for kills due to the difficulty of killing with this weapon vs other more powerful weapons like the BR or DMR.
Grunts as well would get a huge point bonus for being less armored and very slow.
Spartans and Elites would be able to kill faster but would get less points for the kills due to their speed and more powerful weapons.
A Hunter would get the least amount of points. Even though it’s slow, it would be extremely powerful due to armor and weapon.
ODSTs would be in the middle as would Jackals due to medium armor, speed and weapons.
By doing this you then would have the choice of which class to play. Play a slower less armored class and get more points per kill but you kill slower. Play a faster more armored class get less points per kill, but you can kill quicker.
Of course this could never be truly balanced. But it would be awesome to do. I’d love playing as a grunt or brute.
Besides, imagine the awesome Machinima that could come from this. Custom games would be fantastic and we could have some real “adventures” in video with the option to play as these different races/classes.
Put civies in forge! Huzzah!
(Will never happen)
it woud be cool for some sort of beast game type or firefight. playing as covenants fighting of bigger and bigger waves of spartans and human soldiers, and as it goes on you unlock more powerfull covenants like the hunter. the flood is perfect for infection, maybe having the carrier form and different infected spieces as loadout options to make things more interesting
