Imagine if war zone did something a long the lines of Star wars battlefront 2 wit has the req system where as you got higher req level you could spend them to spawn in as famous characters or just species from the Halo universe.
Imagine playing hunter as a level 7 req with the ability tof use your primary cannon and smart scope could raise the shield but it slows your movement. You could do this for a number of species like brutes having stronger melee and higher health or grunts having low health but you can suicide bomb or playing as the flood can jump forward at your enemies from a distance.
I would love to see something like this and I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t work, one use cards like every other req it’s just like using a vehicle card only you don’t have a chance to escape when your near Dead. 343 gets more money and we would get more options to play.
Also anyone remeber taking control of NPC characters in Halo CE On the PC?
As far as 343i is concerned, if it isn’t lore-friendly, it shouldn’t be in-game. While WZ is a simulation, you won’t need to train your “being-a-hunter” skills. I’m not saying it wouldn’t be fun if it was implemented correctly, but I don’t think 343i would add anything like this.
This sounds awesome… Not trying to be a pessimist but it’ll likely never happen

This would be cool in a firefigiht varient, think of it like halo wars where you pick a leader, but instead you pick a race.

But fo’ serious. I remembered being pumped about the rumors of Halo 2 way back in the day - that you could play as the Covenant. I had always envisioned that it would play like the counter-operative mode in Perfect Dark - Player 1 is the MC trying to complete the mission, Player 2 is the random Grunt / Elite waiting in the next area. Player 2 gets killed and spawns as the next, not dead bad guy.
I like your idea, perhaps it could be something in H6 on the Scorpio that plays more like a combination of WZ and Invasion from Reach - choose 1 of 3 factions and go to war. Human / Covenant / Promethean (or Flood…) Maybe this mode (and only this mode) could have a class system like you’ve described. Choose the ODST, have certain traits. Choose the grunt, have certain traits. REQ8, choose the Hunter… so on a so fourth.
