i was wondering if anyone knew if there are going to be brutes, jackels, or grunts in Halo2 multiplayer, 'cause they never said if there were going to be any.

As it stands all we know of are Elites and Spartans. If Bungie adds more, then great, if not then we will have to deal with it and move on.

Only elites verses spartans because the shape of any other covenant and the lack of energy shielding will make it unbalanced. Elites and Spartans are the most similar so naturally they are the only playable skins.

They should keep it simple so they don't wreck Halo2 (which will be hard to do)

Actually they could have ODSTs and Brutes, and let them both have higher non-rechargeable armor, along with higher health as compared to Elites and Spartans, instead of the rechargeable shields and regular health. And maybe a few other minor things to balance it out. Such as them having a more powerful melee or something. That would make sense under the right circumstances.

too complex and if an elite takes on an ODST it'll be unbalanced because the ODST has no recharge

I'm guessing no. How would that be fair? They would be cannon fodder. It wouldn't be any fun if you had to play as something really feeble.
