Now of course it would just be for fun and stuff like elites but I would like to know how people would feel about it
I keep hearing this on this forum and my answer is still no. MP has enough balancing issues as is, let’s not add another race that’s quite of a bit bigger target than elites or spartans.
I have always wanted to play as Grunts funnily enough. But yeah, playable Brutes would be cool.
Edit: There would be no balancing issues if it were locked to specific gametypes.
Just don’t expect it to ever happen.
Or just in customs
No, the hit-box is way to big.
The Grunts in firefight already have shields. Playable grunts could be a likely thing. A new HUD, reloading animations, button mapping. Most of the models, voices, and movement animations are there. Would be a lot easier than brutes.

Eh, your kinda wrong there actually. It might be easier than brutes, but marginally, there may be third person movement animations, but there is no hud for it, no first person animations, no first person model, and it is one of the more difficult things to create. Then you have the issue of the camera track, and how that interacts with vehicles.
Sorry to rain on your parade but I don’t see it ever happening in h5.
Maybe they could add a special game type were you choose a species from halo like warzone you know make them reqs and free in customs
Maybe in halo 6. But now there is too many isues. Maybe a game mode where brutes are attacking other players who are spartans.
Firefight brutes
It would be cool as would being able to play as elites again as well as Jackals, grunts, etc balancing wise it would take some doing, there would have to be a trade offs and counters, especially to brutes being an easy target at range, maybe increased damage in CQC ? Jackals could have their shield units for a limited time maybe ? I don’t know.
They would and have to have their own unique abilities but then I think we’re going into Overwatch, destinys supers and BLOPS3 specialist territory, which although would be fun to see, would be more than likely rejected by the community as would be seen as another example of 343 copying other games.

It would be awesome. Suicide Grunt infections mode.
How would you balance them? If you had Spartans, Brutes and Elites, all as playable classes in multiplayer, Halo would have to go Titanfall on us.
- Brutes = Ogre Titan - Elites = Atlas Titan - Spartans = Strider TitanI don’t think a Halo game with all 3 classes to chose from is worth it. It is too much work, and too many things can go wrong.
Brutes are a little stronger than elites and probably would eliminate the balance in the game
I think they wouldn’t be cool. I don’t know if it’s worth the effort though. All that work only to be used in warzone or swat depending on there head’-Yoink!- box. I’m banking here that they’d go the way of Elites in Halo 2/3.
