I dont see any threads regarding this, so I'll just make a new one:

This has been brought up in several gaming forums; alot of ppl are wondering that in multiplayer, if it will allow players to play as elites or spartans while still being in the same team ( thus elites and spartans working together) or if its going to be one team of spartans only vs one team of elites only. (or spartan vs spartan/elite vs elite)

Granted nobody (save bungie) will know until they play the game, but I figured I'd get the best answers within the bungie forums. Thoughts anyone?

Hmm, good question, probably the best answer is that each team would be different.

Like, CTF, you could have Spartans vs Elites, or Spartan and Elite vs Elite and Elite, and etc...

That's probably the answer you're looking for right?

i think that would be pretty awsome!!! as much as i hate the covies in SP, haveing an elite as a buddy on MP would be pretty brilliant i say.

The only thing that we know for SURE is SPARTAN Vs Elites. Halo 2's MP is supposed to be realistic and blend in with the Halo story (SPARTAN vs. Elite 1 flag CTF is supposed to be: Elites took over a base on Earth and the SPARTANS are sent to take it back)

So no, there will be no Covenant and humans teaming up thing

Basically yeah;

What I would really think is best is to let the gamers setting up the game choose the team layout. So lets say I want to create a ctf game: I can choose to have the team as spartans + elites vs spartans + elites, (or any other setting I so please)

ok man were not looking for no and yes answers, ya know why! cause there are no "no" and "yes" answers, only time can tell unless bungie spills the beans. so i think it would be awesome as i stated before for covenant and humans teaming up

THat would kinda suck then.

I would want some elites on my team if were're just playing around, I would rather leave all the story line stuff for Campain. :/

I would have to say no... I mean, you can't play as a red guy on a blue team can you? ^_-

Noooo.. I'm not saying having different colors on the same team, I'm saying have different species on the same team. So lets say, 1 red spartan teamed up with 1 red Elite vs blue.

I stated earlier that it'd be best to let the player (setting up the game) decide, because if he/she wants it to follow the story, then they can just have it spartan vs elite. I personally would rather play as a spartan over an elite anyway, so I'd think it'd kinda suck not having the luxury to choose

im pretty sure that all the bungie faq says is that elites will be playable in multiplayer. thats it.... i think..... but i wouldnt mind playing side by side with the other race, its all about equality and unity right? maybe youll be able to toggle between spartan or elite on the pre game thingy, like left or right to change teams and up or down to switch between spartan or elite, that would make sence i guess
