while the characters have the same power as far as melee strength, etc: won't the physical size and shape of the characters affect co-op gameplay - I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but we all know how body design of the elites affects Halo 2 multiplayer (especially with SWAT and sniper games), so there has to be some effect in Halo 3 - the other elites not appearing in cinematics is dissapointing I might add even though I know it would've been more difficult to do
