Subject: The Tru7h About Co-Op in Halo 3

Does Bungie really think that many people are gonna wanna play as elites?!? Halo 2 multiplayer, look at the data and tell me how many people pick the elite. At least put one more spartan in and make it 50/50. Which it may be 50/50 for Halo 3 becaues they look a bit better now. But still thank you bungie for making such great games. The effort and quality you put into your games has changed the gaming world.
"for making such a great games" you mean game, after halo bungie will retire, and if they do come back it wont be for long.

This is what Frankie meant in the podcast when he told Blender something like Halo 3 was so good it was like a Beatles reunion with John and George coming back from the dead. Master Chief is John, Arbiter is Paul, Usze is George and Ringo is um, that other guy. That's it, I want Mister Chief art remaking a Beatles album cover with these guys as stand ins.

And people who are complaining about being elites, give it up. Storywise it just makes no sense to play as a human other than a Spartan, they aren't as powerful. And the elites are way cooler anyway.... That and humanity really probably wouldn't survive the convenant without some kind of serious help and I think the Elites joining us (even only a sect) would be it.

don't want to start an augment but i would love to play as an elite in halo 2 if they were balanced (elite's head is bigger from front)
i think the three elites is better because it follows the story line more the two spartan.

But if you read the books... there is more than one spartan still alive. Maybe 'add the option' of playing Fred, or Kelly? (If you are saying WTF... read the books) It doesn't really matter to me. I will play as an elite (I like the carbine start better anyway), but I think it would be great to have an option.

I hate playing as a Elite on the halo 2 story mode. only little kids like playing as them. Bungie might as well make Halo 3 Rated (E) for everyone. I Love the four player online mode but everyone would want to be Master Chief. Hopefully the online gaming is great as Halo 2 for Halo 3.

I'm not a little kid and i loved playing as an elite in halo 2, with other elites, grunts, hunters, and jackals fighting by my side. more so than playing as the -blam!- humans. Elites look and sound cooler, and were once the deluded and misinformed enemies--which makes them supersweet. Master Chief's a human badass, but he's still just a human, meaning he sucks. Frankly, I'd be the odd man out clamouring for 2-4 player position.


Actually, nothing said so far by bungie about this game has let me down even a smidgeon. The only thing I really need to know is the effectiveness of the plasma pistol's single-shot mode. Like, is it more like Halo: CE's where it was heavily effective against flood combat forms, or is it super--blam!- like Halo 2's. Cuz if I'm going to be an elite and i get stuck with the plasma pistol as one of the starting weapons, it better be useful aside from the overcharge functionality.

Yeh know? 25 pages of people crying over playing as an elite or MC is why I don't frequent the forums here very often. If you bother reading some of the insightful posts and really read the release, you will find that game play won't be affected by which life form you are (at least in co-op). So stop worring about what you look like and just get ready to rock with some great times. And if it bothers you too much, go play with dolls!

See this is where you crossed the line!!! Master Chief is GODLY AWESOME, but Elites are AWesome too. The chief does NOT suck. NOW to ALL you other people winning about the characters. Overall and again the Spartan III's would not work because they do not have SHIELDS...... DEAL with the fact of playing online co-op with 3 elites and one spartan or don't play the game at all and if you can't get over it sell your 360 and set fire to all you videogames and get a LIFE!!!!

Now lets all thank BUNGIE for their wonderful gift.

Last but foremost....AGAIN has anyone found out which ELITE of the two new ones are which????

N’tho ‘Sraom, the Spec Ops one, has to be the one on the left hand side...for many reasons...he looks spec ops/the one on the right looks heavily armoured...it says that N’tho ‘Sraom is young, the other one looks older/not young...thats my guesse, but we will soon see...its just a seguestion so dont flame me

Halo 3 four player Co-Op is like a dream come true! one question still remains
I also read you could only play a Co-Op game with two players on one xbox 360, will you still be able to play split screen with four players on one xbox 360?!

Wow.

I thought plalying Halo 2 co-op made the game almost easy in some parts even in Legendary, I can't imagine playing with 4 people. That's gonna rock. It really must be very difficult. And the scope and size of the maps as not to cramp gameplay must just be in a word, epic.

What military tour?

Bungie says;

"Name: Usze ‘Taham
Affiliation: Fleet of Retribution/Special Warfare Group/Fleet Security
History: (...) Shortly after receiving his first post within the Covenant Navy he was offered a place on the Prophets’ Honor Guard but he declined citing “lack of practical experience”. In truth, he had no desire to be part of a largely ceremonial unit, *and at the end of his third combat tour*, Usze ‘Taham again refused the post—even though his superiors warned him such behavior could be misinterpreted as apostasy.

Since that time Usze has evaded countless punitive actions, at least two assassination attempts, and *served with distinction for two additional tours* before the Schism. Following the dissolution of the Covenant, he was approached by the Ascetics to become one of their liaisons within the Navy."

What Military tours? Who were the Covenant fighting? Are there other aliens in similar positions to Humanity?

Really *really* odd that this hasn't been mentioned before, the Covenant fighting a multi-fronted war.

(ON THE OTHER HAND)

I just remembered that the Covenent was at war- with humanity. That means this guy is probably responsible for the deaths of thousands (if not millions or billions) of human deaths. I wonder why he joined a human-sypathizer organization if that's true.

Silly me, forgetful me. That could cause problems between this character and the Chief, though.
