like in an earlyer post, after you beat the game on legandary you can be an elite in campain. you're an elite and trying to kill human, not to hard of a concept. I just want to know how many of you would think this is a kick ass idea or just stupid.

Well, going along with the Covenant Hierarchy, it would be great to have to work your way up from a normal elite to a gold or black commander or special ops unit. According to the article here at Bungie.net, those colors denote thousands of kills per each elite that earns such a rank. Oh, the sweetness to think of it... I'd love going in with other elites, getting to use such weapons as banshees, carbines, wraiths, plasma grenades, and maybe getting other lesser units to act as cannon fodder for me. Crazy... that would take considerable time to make, but it would be a real treat to play.

i'd love to play as an elite in a covenant campaign, not a cheap way of playing the human campaign but a totally new one with a new story for the elite and everything

Former Comrade to all except most......

Playing as an elite would rock soo hard! but you have to ask your self what would the storyline be due to you playing a MC bouncing round killing everything that remotely looks like a covenant, how would you as an elite survive?

you start off as an elite in the war, killing humans etc. then your abilities are noticed and are assigned to more important tasks like capturing human strongholds capturing artifacts etc. then eventually you become a special op leader and commanded to kill off the spartans. the game ends when you kill will or something but are injured by the other spartans and have to escape. at the end you are honoured and your family name goes down in history, you become a gold elite commander

Not in a first person as Halo currently is genre. The games entire story is based around you as John. If they played as an Elite the entire story would be trashed and out the window as you Mr Elite would go out and kill the Master Chief and utterly rip apart the finely crafted story we have here. Yes Elites are cool and all, but doing it as the game currently stands wouldnt work.

Now, if the game was maybe set at a different time, say in the Fall of Reach time frame, and you're an Elite leading a raid against the Human stronghold of Reach than yes, it kinda fits as you could face Spartans, as many we're lost on Reach. And since you wouldn't face the Master Chief the story wouldnt be trashed. But it would need to be finely tied into the main storyline. Not as alot here are wanting it to be a chance to play the bad guy and kill John with no thought to the finely crafted story Bungie have given us.

The whole point fo Halo is you are fighting in a losing war and the odds are heavilly against you. Which gives the feeling of a desperate struggle. Playing as an Elite would destroy that feeling and tear apart all that is Halo.

So to answer your poll.

HELL NO!

what if the elite story is set when the war is being taken to the covenant? would that make you happy?

ok, you don't kill john or the main spartans but if the spartan III's are in it there are lots to kill and it won't interfere with the story

i think it would be cool but only if you played the game backwards sort of speak. instead of defending the earth you will help destroy it. or like zamamee said a small five mission campain if you beat it on legendary

No, if onlt for the simple fact that they'd have to do lots more AI for the humans. You couldn't recycle the Convenant AI, could you?
