you guys are giving way too much credit to the elites when the brutes will be the work horse of the covenant..you gotta love these guys...they're big..ugly...and downright scary...i know i'd have to change my pants if i saw one charging for me.

I'd be an elite when I had the option. Of course, I'd play on the side that had the least people or had my friends on it, so I may not always be an elite in human vs. elite games.

I think most people will prefer Spartans over elites, but I don't think that'll stop them from going over the the elites' side.

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

That's the great thing about being the maker of a game. They make you play as whoever the hell they want. They could make you play as freaking ballerina and you would like it.

I plan on gaining experience with both sides: their actions, their weapons, their vehicles, and so on.. Just incase they make me play as a ballerina.. Cause I want to be a good ballerina with some sick ass skills when the time is at hand.

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


I just knew it, that you got your forum name from "the flood" if read all 3 of the books myself!
And yes i would like to kills some human ass, i always had a lot of fun killing the marines!
And now we can finally kill masterchief without commiting suicide :D

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....


LoL so if you play 2/3 of covies you play like 1/3 spartan, man that was really unexpactable!
But if you think about it i don't think you got a choice, when you join a game, you'll atomatically will be put in a team, and i think it would be stupid to have team balance off!

To me it doesnt really matter, if your spartan or elite, i just want a good team, some nice vehicles (some drooly weapons) and a GOOD GAME!!!

I look forward to being an elite. I only wished bungie put in a taught button so I could perform the elite roar rignt before killing them with my plamsa sword.

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.


If its not like this (although it would even it out) I'm pretty sure that a huge majority of not-so-diehard fans will want to be an elite more. Just because of the change of scene. Dont worry, if you pick your character then elites will be (more often than not) easier to kill because they dont play as often as spartan-faithful hardcore fans.

I think I would be both because it was fun killing the marines and the Spartans are cool too. And I was wondering do any of you know if you can have an elite and spartan on the same team?

I know I'll be a SPARTAN for sure. I don't see why you couldn't have SPARTANs vs Elites on the same team anyway; you still have colors to differentiate teams.

yes, you can. there is a screen shot here that shows a yellow elite jumping on a brown spartain's ghost. i'm about 99.9% positive that this was taken in normal slayer mode.

Errr...how does that prove that you can have elites/spartans on the same team? That could of been a free for all!

that's free for all/slayer, caus you can only have team colours:
Gold
Red
Blue
Green

And brown and yellow aren't in this list i see
I think it will be a little getting use to, its normal for us to see spartans fighting eaghother but, elites is a whole different story!

I think that both elites and MC will have the exact same proformances and abilities. but their hubs might be alittle differently set up but mabye not.

if no one will play as an elite online or is complaining that they dont wanna be one then i would be one but i personally like the spartan armor better. i will still play as an elite though just not as much unless i have to.

Man I am totally going elite, I main wish is to be a badass hunter in CTF guarding the base but that is a real, REAL longshot. So I'll just have to settle for the ELite.

I've seen alot more Elite posts here than i have spartan, I truly wouldnt worry about it.... i dont think it matters... (you dont get to see yourself.) Its fun killing Elites, and its fun killing MC. I think in split screen, you like set up your character in the settings menu like you used to, you choose (for Free for all games) if you are Spartan or Elite. Then you choose the color of your character. Then you choose symbols and whatnot.

Thats how i see it working, and in my opinion it would work good.
