Play as a Marine or ODST?

I was thinking the idea (if they do it in Halo 4) that you could play not just as a spartan or an elite, but a marine, odst, and even a brute(if anyone wanted to.)

And just for fun play, as a grunt :smiley:

Of course I don’t know what Halo 4 will be like, But I thought it would be fun if you could.

So what do you think?

NOTE: I’m a lot bedder at voice communication (as in I’m bedder at talking then texting) so if I left any details out, I’m sorry.

Get out.

JK, I’m down with this(except the Brute part) :slight_smile:

Hell I’m down even for the Brute part. IDK why, but the entire Brute thing has grown on me. I used to think it was a horrible idea, but nowadays…

not that i hate marines ( i think that they are (in halo 3) useful teamamtes and (in reach) good cannon fodder) but what advantages could a marine player have that a spartan player couldent?

i mean, ODST’s will have the ability to have that ā€œstaminaā€ stuff,and have the ability to drop into battle via a drop pod

but what with marines?

I’m not sure, It was just a thought about marines, The odst’s seem more likely.

Marines possibly could be less vulnerable to explosive damage, I mean we’ve seen the different Marines like those with the radios, you might be able to tune in on enemy chatter, I don’t really know just posting ideas.

It’s hard think of what marines could do (besides the fact there useless in reach) Maybe they would be less vulnerable to headshots (as in the hit box would be smaller) But anyway the ideas you have are good.

Marines would be able to call in support of any kind, marines would be able to repair any broken vehicles, marines would be able to heal both Spartans and odsts, marines would be able to serve as meat shields to incoming enemy fire… Just saying

I don’t think you wanna be a meat shield XD The OP I was saying that you would be a marine.

In fact, I just thought of that the player marine (that’s what we’ll call it now, just like the player elite from firefight) would use marine equipment.

So that stuff you sed are what they could have.

The only part I want is the Brute part.

My thoughts on the brute would be that they have stamina just like odst’s and have recharging health like elite’s, and you go crazy charging at evrything XD

Maybe there could be civillian weapons on the map, like a truck, and the ODST’s or Marines could hotwire them while Spartans couldn’t.

Really? I think they should just play like the Spartans and Elites, you know, shields that recharge, then health.

Good idea, but it’s probably best to put it in Halo 5 or 6, or to have it campaign only. The point of Halo multiplayer is that everyone starts out with basically the same thing (with the exception of horrible spawns sometimes) and one of the reasons they took playing as an elite across all playlists out of Halo Reach is because elites had advantages in SWAT (smaller heads, almost impossible to hit them from the back) and disadvantages in Slayer (larger target). If you added brutes, marines, odst’s, and grunts to multiplayer, things would get rather unfair pretty quick. It would also take a lot of time to balance it out so it’s less unfair, which means it’s probably not going to happen.

I’d love to see it in custom games though, that would be sweet :smiley:

No no no no I meant that just like reach they would be separate in MP, I forgot put that in OP, sorry :frowning:

I love invasion so that’s why I was saying how cool this would be. (being a grunt was a fun thought)

Why do people want different skills for different player models, one of the things that always made Halo great was the way that, no matter what your player model looked like, everyone played the same. Then Reach took that away when they made the Elites so different from the Spartans. Let people play as Spartans and ELites, throw in Brutes if you want, hell throw in anything, as long as they all play the same, have access to the same things, can be used in all game types, have the same health and everything.

Would be nice though to play as the flood ( jou get <mark>less health</mark> but its fully rechargeble and you can walk faster and <mark>jump higher</mark> just like in halo 3)

i hope you can forge, or even play as an <mark>hunter</mark>

It would be f’n sweet that firefight would be modeled after horde and beast modes in gears of war3, like in versus f.f. Where one can fight as an elite with covie support. But instead of all a.i. support you would be able to choose what species to choose from and their load out, where the same would be available for the unsc.

I love playing as an ODST.
