In halo2 do you think it would be cool to play the covenents side of the game.For example in multiplayer co-op instead have one person elite and the other master chief. Then the two have their own objectives for the level that they have to complete.

I've thought about that before and it would be awesome to be able to play as covenant in campaigns in order to destroy earth.

it could be a fun cheat/unlockable feature to play a couple of levels on, however that is not what Halo is about. Maybe a seperate game.

an unlockable would be good, [similar to the metal gear - play as ninja thing]

maybe a few levels as an elite or something, just to screw around with... i dont think a seperate game would be neccessary.

i really like this idea... i would enjoy being a badass black spec op elite or a gold elite taking down earth... it would definatley be a unique move by bungie, to allow players to play as the other side in certain portions of the game, it would also allow for a motherload of levels.... but i am quite sure that halo 2 will be played strictly as mastercheif... perhaps there may be a level were other spartans help you out, or you play as one of the 'helljumpers or sarge' fighting back the covenant assult... but time will tell.

Too much time to develop.

You guys do reazlize that the game is basically finished, and now they're just polishing the gameplay, and tweaking the weapons, right?

i think it would be good. the catch though would be that it should be an unlockable mission. it should only be like one or two levels where its the same level as in the game but you are fighting for a covenant outpost.

just an idea.i'm not saying they go and take even more time and change it.

No, we think they are extremely far from being finished. In fact, I don't think they are working at Halo 2 at all. I think they actually have been spending this time constructing a time machine which they will use to travel back in time with their entire crew, HQ, equipment and a very durable fuison powerplant to the dawn of time so that they will have plenty of time to finish the game. Then, after a 11.7 billion year production time they will have the most polished game with a great story and enough content so that you're lucky to complete the game before you die

Yeah, i like that idea, but that side of the game would have to be an expansion pack, like a whole other game...cause thats what it practically would be witha whole other campaign and all...KotT

Yeah it would be cool and they'll most likely do it. You can do something like that in Halo. You have to modify the game to get it though so you need the X Key to do it.

You do know that there are action replays right? You can play as an elite in halo 1 with one of them so in halo 2 you'll probably be able to do that.

hehe, me as a Hunter. I like that idea. Even as an elite would be pretty sweet. But like most people said, it should probably be in a different game.

"But we did get a hint that the covenant may be playable in the single player campaign mode! When we pushed for more details, one product manager would only smile and say, "Bungie has a lot of tricks up its sleeve for halo 2."

Idea sounds pretty sweet to me... you can play throughout the whole campaign mode on different parts of Earth as MC. Then in the final mission, you should get to verse MC, and it should be either
1 Impossible to win, and when you lose it goes into a scene where MC beats you and continues on
2 A scene where you get beaten by MC, and its a really cool scene, and MC beats you after a battle, then it goes game over..
