You could try upping/lowering the costs of the characters. Also, you should make the command loss based on size or something, as the way you have it now gives even more advantage to small groups over swarm groups.
Also, maybe make the small, generic creatures not count towards victory, only the big, main creatures, or something like that.

All valid points. But i still think i'm going to phase out the command based win condition, and just use it for starting characters. this is the idea I currently have: 4 Marines or Grunts/Jacakls/Drones totaling no more than 20 command. 1 Spartan or Brute/Elite totaling no more than 10 command and 2 Marines or Grunts/Drones/Jackals totaling no more than 10 command. 2 Spartans or Elites/Brutes or Hunter Pair totaling no more than 20 command. 1 Spartan/Elite/Brute worth up to 20 command.
Master Chief/The Arbiter/Tartarus would all probably cost close to 20 command. Then I'll also add some bonus for unused command. Don't know how to do Flood with this model yet. And I'll need more Spartans.
Only an idea though.

Then I'll restrict the usage of Shields to Spartans/Elites/Brutes. Probably restrict Active Camouflage as well. I'll have to play around with some variants of this.
I plan to have a smaller Armory as your amount of characters decreases, but not in a linear fashion, something like 9/8/6/3 For hand size and CP, More for the less characters you have, like hand size 4 for 4 characters, 5 for 2,3 characters, and 6 for solo. 2,2,3,4 for CP totals.

Basically, my fervor over halo 3 led to this be created, in the after math of actually playing Halo 3, this doesn't hold interest for me currently, not to mention the fact that my test game revealed some fundamental flaws.
Its pretty far on the back burner right now, actually, battleground games in general are sidelined for something me and some friends have been tossing about, a CCG based on anything, with our own self made rules system.
The way we want it is a modular game where new things can be added with minimal rules, that will work with most any media available. So Robocop, Abraham Lincoln, and John McClane could teamup to fight Skeletor, a T-800, and Darth Vader.
We have a rough list of characters to choose from, featuring real people, movies, cartoons, anime, books, comics, TV, and the like.
It would be completely free to the public, we'd just protect our rules system. We've got a basic idea of the rules system done. I've favored a method which has only 1 value you ever have to track.
We've also talked about taking requests for characters and such as well.
So thats kind of where the CCG fragment of my mind is at right now.

so? they are loyal to the covenant. Plus, can't really have a forerunner faction, now can you? (in the event that you... uh... can... don't tell me....anything about it...) I only just noticed this post. Yeah...they're not really loyal to the Covenant. They'll help anyone who needs their stuff being repaired. I suggest you go read the books. They're awesome. It'd introduce you to a shitload of new characters plus the Spartan 3s. I've got a spare copy of the first novel if you want it, Axlotl?
