From all that Ive heard/read in the E3 updates, you can chose to play as Elites or Spartans on the same team. Personally, I think that it is cool to be able to play as an Elite, but I think that the teams should be restricted to chosing one type of player (ie. Elite team vs. Spartan team).

Not only does mixing the team go against the storyline, but it would be cooler to see an army of Spartans taking on Elites

Lets get a lot of votes on this one and maybe Bungie will listen

How do you know it goes against the story line?

Why would you want to restrict a Halo experiance?

Do you think its easier to snipe an elite in the head or a spartan?

It is multiplayer, there is no storyline to it. Simple as that. As much as I'd love to argue the point, there really is none. Inside the main game I'd be upset, yes, but it is multiplayer and making it so both can be on the same team just adds to the options.

As for get lots of votes and maybe Bungie will listen? Yeah right. That never really happens unless it is something that they never thought of. And 7 dollars say they won't give a rip and will make it how they want to.

I think they should be mixed, cuz its seems the Elites have the high jumping ability and I am sure chief is going to have his sprint, so they both have difference which would be nice to have both on one team.

honestly, since when has there ever been a story in any FPS multiplayer mode? and while indications are that elites and spartans play exactly the same, if they didn't, it would be even more reason to allow the option to choose between either one within the same team.

bungie said that they are trying to incorporate the story to somehow tie into the MP levels. but i think that mixing elites and spartains wouldn't have any real problems.

So, I suppose a bunch of Spartans shooting the snot out of each other in Halo 1 was against the story line too? As others have implied, the story isn't as important in multiplayer. So long as the big picture is laid out, details like "Why is there a bad guy on the good guy team?" aren't as important.

I think what Bungie means by that, moonman, is that they'll have MP levels based on stuff you see in the singleplayer game. I highly doubt Bungie will involve major plot elements in any of their MP levels, or that they would be dedicated or awesome enough to put in some kind of 'campaign' that takes place over multiplayer (think Planetside and similar MMOs).
