Yeah, unlockable. Like that Elite in the Flood novel, or something similar. Lol, i could get used to shooting Marnes and not being punished for it.

The only side misison I'd be willing to play in, is one where you are another human. A marine perhaps, but not a Covenant. That would take away the feel of Halo.

yeah maybe side mission would be cool., but i dont want to know much about the covenant. their mysteriousness is pretty cool and the fact that dietz messed up in giving the covie into personalities

I really could do without side missions. They're just not Halo.

I think it would be cool if it were unlockable if you have beaten both Halo and Halo2 on Legendary! I'd like to have a side story, It'd be neat hearing about a strange green man killing all of my forces... lol

I think if you play as an Elite you should be able to make the wort wort wort sound at will. Same gos for multi-players Elites. If do play as a Elite would you be a golden one or a blue one. Or one of those in between?

stay on topic.
anyway. there should probly be like a 3 or 4 mission story for playing as an elete. but no unlockingness. that is not bugie style. STOP talking about UNLOCKING. it is stupid. so please just stop.

Jesus... You guys are talking about UNLOCKING a playable Elite character as being stupid? The whole idea of being able to play as an Elite is stupid. Did you even play the first Halo? This is about the human side of the story.

You stay in the role of the Master Chief and do not stray elsewhere. The game is meant to give you the feel that you ARE the Master Chief and that you ARE trying to save the world. Why would you want to suddenly destroy Earth for a couple missions and then go back to saving it again?

Playing as an Elite would ruin the entire feel of the game. In fact, I didn't like it even when Dietz put the Covenant perspective in the Flood. I'm glad Nylund tried to downplay the whole deal in First Strike, but obviously he was forced to do some of it because of Dietz. In my opinion, let us find out about the Covenant by uncovering secrets as humans, not exploring as an Elite and barking at our Grunty subordinates.

The idea was -blam!-, end of thread.

And by the way... Please, please don't just type and submit. This is not AIM or AOL. Why is it so hard to review what you wrote for half a second.... Especially when you only have 2 sentences. A typo... fine. Two... Okay. Anywhere upwards of that is ridiculous. Grammar is terrible in these message boards. I can't tell you how many times I just don't read posts because they go something like this:

Hay, ya, that was prtty kewl! i think u shuld be able 2 fly in the new mult playa!
