I read a post erlier about how there could be a seperate covenant single player as an elite or just play the human one as an elite. I thought that would be pretty dumb, especially the one about doing the human one as an Elite, but then that got me thinking. Mabey after you beat the game on normal, you get a new muliplayer map, or a single player map, or mabey a new weapon..(or something) and on heroic you get a new single(or muli) player map and/or gun. and then if you beat it on legendary then you get a special single player covenant level that kind of added on to the story but from the other side of the fence.

I was thinking that i mean when i was playing halo on legendary it was cool but i mean its not like there was anythin new waiting for me after i beat it...the new ending perhaps but that was like 4 seconds long. the first time i played was on normal and after that i knew the story and there was no surprises.

I dont know that would just be cool because it would be like modivation to people who want to play it harder than just easy and would make it more interesting because there is something to look foreward to other than having the alien skulls on all of the levels(or new ending)..

Unlocking stuff by beating the game on different difficulties is annoying. Maybe getting new cutscenes is good, but beating a game to get a new map for solo or multiplayer seems too plain.

Cheats ruin all games because if someone really does beat the game on legendary noone will believe you they will just think you cheated

I like cheats....but I don't think that they would fit into Halo 2.

Playing as an Elite would take away from the Halo experience. You are human and the battle is supposed to be desperate for humanity. We are outnumbered and out gunned. The only reason why you get out is because of superior training and intellect and in Halo 2 tactics making things even more desperate. Playing as an Elite would change all that and would take away from the desperate drama that is Halo.

Elites in multiplayer = Good
Elites in campaign= No way in this dimension.

i think it would be good though...in The Flood and in First strike there are parts where you are reading about inside a covenant base, like as a grunt or brute or elite i forget. but ahnyways i found those parts interesting because i saw more of the inner workings of the covenant and more of what the himans are up against. like i said it wouldnt change it it would just give people an idea of what its like as the covenant. And in the end if MC desroys the covies or whatever then at then end it would be the covenants struggle for survival against the humans.

In another topic, it was thrown around the idea of unlocking the old Mark V armour in MP and SP if you beat the game on Legendary. I also tossed in the idea of unlocking the REALLY old suit in MP if you beat the game on heroic. And maybe the old Elite suit (their graphics have been upgraded) in MP if you beat in on Legendary. And if there was a REALLY old suit for Elites back when halo was for the PC, unlock that on heroic, too.

Maybe new cutscenes or perhaps Emblems for multiplayer. They shouldn't have unlockable maps and weapons though, as that's kind of dumb; to put something in the game which not everyone can get to and that is as big a deal as a map/weapon.

it kind of annoyed me that there was no extra stuff at the end of halo there should be Timesplitters 2 used that to great effect but it should only be new maps for SP not MP.

What about unlocking like marathon or something, an old bungie game that noones can play anymore because their hardware is too good, maybe if you beat it on legendary you unlock "Gnop"! that would be cool

There are two groups of people in the world - those that hope, and those that wish. The first group hopes that nothing bad will happen. The second group wishes that they are there when it does. Which one are you?

I agree with most of you, definitely no cheats. Either have new cutscenes or different non-team MP color schemes that get more bad ass as you progress with the difficulties. Also, instead of just having different schemes for beating the difficulties, you could throw some rare ones in there for specific things like times and number of deaths, just to let people know when they see you online you are an elite player (or one with a lot of time on your hands). Of course, it's all just for show and the real way to show people you are elite is by killing them. A lot.

I think we should get a level that you just test out your skill in. Like a battle arena. You defeat a certain amount of enemies then move on to more enimies with better A.I.

I say you unlock a cheat for single player and when you put it in you get blown up by an plasma 'nade! That'd make me laugh for days. Oh but aside from that, no cheats.

I like the idea of playing as an elite in single player.
