I thought it'd be cool to do a gametype called "roles" where each member of the team spawns with a certain set of weapons and can't change them for the rest of the game.

For example you would have six people on your team, and their weapons would go like this:

1st Dude: M90 Shotgun
2nd Dude: Dual SMGs
3rd Dude: MA5C Assault Rifle
4th Dude: M19 SSM Rocket Launcher (or M6 Spartan Laser?)
5th Dude: BR55 Battle Rifle
6th Dude: S2 AM Sniper Rifle

And the other team would have the same. This would require more teamwork and more specialized roles.

And maybe to keep it from becoming boring when you die you could get another dead team mates role, or trade weapon sets or something.

And we can do all sorts of variations, like giving each person side arms/secondary weapons.

Or like a Covenant weapon variation, or a Brute weapon variation (if there are enough), or even a Covenant vs Human variation.

And you could do this gametype with normal team slayer, capture the flag, assault, etc. I dunno what do you guys think?

And I just thought of stuff so it doesn't have to be just 6v6:

3v3:

Dude 1: Shotgun
Dude 2: Assault Rifle
Dude 3: Sniper Rifle

4v4:

Dude 1: Shotgun
Dude 2: Assault Rifle
Dude 3: Battle Rifle (maybe /Rocket Launcher/Spartan Laser?)
Dude 4: Sniper Rifle

And 5v5 can be for levels without vehicles so there is no need for the Rocket Launcher/Spartan Laser Role.

Anything like 2v2 or less might as well just be random weapons, or could be made as a custom gametype.

That would be AWSOME! I always wanted a gametype like that, but the closet you can get to it is putting the weapons set as random. I hope they put something like that in.

It sounds like a good idea, but depending on the map, the guys that spawn with the Shotgun or SMG's will get shit deals on big maps and the ones with the Sniper Rifles on small maps.

It would be a bit hard, but i think i could see it working, and maybe all of ther sidearms could be a pistol or plasma pistol

Maybe one side has the human types where the other has covanant, like, if one team had dual-smg's, the other would have dual-plasma rifles, or sniper rifle to beam rifle etc.

Maybe even a brute side too eh?

covenant:

Dual energy swords
dual plasma rifles
Needler
Fuel Rod cannon
Covenant Carbine
Beam rifle

Brute:

Brute Hammer
Dual Brute plasma rifles
Dual Brute Spikers
Brute Shot
?
?

Maybe Bungie could make spots for them two question marks, and, if they do make a mid-range and sniping brute weapon, i would believe that brute's would be playable in halo 3 on multiplayer.

Sounds damn cool, and realistic.... kind of like a Virtual roleplay.

Whats que?

I was thinking this for Covenant (sorry there isn't enough for a Brute vs Elite yet):

Sword (Plasma Pistol side arm)
Needler (Plasma Pistol sidea arm)
Brute Shot (Brute Plasma Rifle side arm)
Fuel Rod (Plasma Rifle side arm)
Carbine (Plasma Rifle side arm)
Beam Rifle (Plasma Pistol side arm)

And this for human roles with side arms:

Shotgun (magnum)
Twin SMGs (magnum)
MA5C Assault Rifle (SMG)
Rocket Launcher/(Spartan Laser) (SMG)
Battle Rifle (SMG)
Sniper Rifle (magnum)

Look at my first post cause I just thought of some ways that it could be something other then 6v6.

I'd hate to be the guy stuck with the needler, well actually the needlers might be stronger in Halo 3... but if not, you should make them dual weild the needlers.

Team Fortress, anyone?

Do we know the needlers aren't going to be dual weildable in Halo 3, or not?

But the dual-smg's compare to dual-plasma rifles, and brute shot doesn't compare to the assault rifle, although neither does the needler

quote justin time

Well I was thinking it was better to have a two handed weapon then dual wielding, and the needler is comparable to the SMG. But I am not sure if the Needler will be SMG range still or be given longer range in the next game so who knows.
