after reading a lot of posts and threads it has come to my attention that nearly everyone will be playing as spartans on halo 2 multiplayer. this amy be all well and good for you but what about the elite? i've waited and prayed for years to play as an elite and now you can. bungie have put an elite in and it looks like few people will ultilise this option to me. what does anyone else think are there any other future covie elite players out there ready to kick human ass? i hope to be a black elite called zuka' zamamee like the one from 'the flood' what about anyone else. i just think there may be too many spartan players online when variety is what is needed

Does it honestly matter? I'm going to play as both. I'm sure people will play as elites too, since they look so damn cool. The spartans look excellent as well, and I'm sure noone will be objected to playing as either one.

Well, I'm gonna play Elite about 2/3rds of the time and Spartan the other 1/3rd of the time. I just love the Covenant, they kick so much ass....

For me its Elites, then Grunts (so cute and amusing, can't say no), then Jackals and Hunters come last. I haven't seen anything about Prophets/Brutes/Engineers yet, so I can't really judge. I have a feeling Prophets will be high on my list, they are all floaty and stuff... Not a good justification, but anyways... Elites all the way!

The gold elite doesn't strike fear into my heart. It strikes a big target into my mind. A big target painted over you. *readies Shotgun*

elites with shotguns, if that isn't cool what is? gold elites are a good idea. i would only be colours that are in the game, i think green just doesn't suit them and non covie colours

Elites with Shotguns, Rockets, and all that good stuff... Makes me wanna drool....

And I agree, please people, stick to traditional Covenant colours, they just look like crap otherwise!

The only exception I can think of is purple, because that is a very Covenant colour.

SPARTANS ALL THE WAY COVIES DESERVE TO BE SHOT ALL OF THEM!!!!!

-S

I believe the decision is made by the server host, not by the client. In other words, I think it's up to the host whether or not one team is elites, or if it's Spartans. But, I could be wrong.

nice point shishka, but what about LAN/linked play or split screen multiplayer? does everyone pick themselves or do you think it will be random? and what about free for all games online?

There is still a server host in those scenarios.

I think you will have server chosen setups like this.

All Spartans
All Elites
UNSC vs Covenant
Elites with Spartans vs Elites with Spartans

i think it will be like crimson skies where you choose what plane and colour you are before you play in a lobby. only you choose what profile, character and team colour you are (if its a team game) in halo 2 in the lobby. if you join mid game its random. what do you think?
