ender the Elites obviously will not join the humans,so let people discuss Halo if they want


hey Nedus Ender is entitled to his own opinion so if you don't like this thread, get out.


i never said i didnt like this thread,douche. i wasnt even flaming his opinion.but from the way the story is developing,its pretty obvious that the humans and Elites are not going to join.its his opinion(what else would it be?),and ill just leave it at that.


its Bungie's decision, not ours, moron. if they see fit to align elites with humans, then they will


nobody ever said it was our decision its just a prediction of what might happen, moron


it didn't sound like a prediction with words like 'obviously' and the like

what about humans and grunts? the grunts hate elites because they are opressed by the elites. if a race was to defect other than the elites, i'd have to say it would be the grunts, not that they would be that much help, being cannon fodder after all.....

Grunts are as useful to the MC (you and I) as the marines. I'd rather them stay put so I can crush their rebreather sucking heads while they sleep. I'd personally much rather have an elite watching my flank versus a brute than a worthless grunt or jackal.

No one seems to know for sure. Some say that we stumbled upon them later like the prophets. Others say that they're brand new to the league. I have yet to hear a defensible arguement either way.

Uh-NO!

I truly doubt Bungie will have any sort of betrayl on the Covenant end of that sort. Plus the Brutes have been inside the Covenant for a long time. They'd have to be in order to be made Temple Guards.


Elites were temple guards...

Dude if the brutes were in the covenant a long time how come we didnt see them in halo 1? like the guy with the good idea said the brutes were better thats why they are gaurding the prophets now. plus they werent mentioned in the books until most recently. AND xbm said that the story line will focus more on the hierarcy and possibly an argument within their ranks.

  • 06.29.2004 12:53 PM PDT

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

First off... who knows how many races the Covenant have. It's not like they're handing out info pamphlets to let everybody know. Secondly, we know and assume that prophets occupy the highest caste and are guarded by Imperial Elites. There are may powerful and dangerous races in the Covenant (no word yet on whether the new CENSORED alien will be a member of the Covenant or not). Logic would have it that if you have a fighting race then they would have been indoctrinated some time ago.

Now if you like you may refer to the following as the Doom Sticks: Covie Civil War Theory cause I haven't seen it before i posted it a few months ago.

The division among the ranks start not from any inner quables (as they're already many) but from the Prophets evil plans to take themselves and themselve only into the new realm of power (opened up by the aquirement of one-more-crystal). When the Elites catch onto this (probly first among the covie races cause they seem to be the most coniving race behind the Props) they turn against the prophets plans and while not being on the "human-side" they (or atleast a faction of Elites) are now against the Space-Popes, perhaps, stalling them enough for the Chief to come in and wipe 'em all out.

The other obvious fact/question that should be brought up is "Why would Bungie have us playing and loving and getting familiar with the Elites in MP? The most evil and hated race in Halo 1? Doesn't that sorta take away from the story's and game's point/feel?..."
While this has probly more to do with Bungie's intent to bring the Campaign experience to the online arena and not some silly civil-war theory, it does raise an eyebrow.

Great thought man. That would be really fun to do though. I would love to fight alongside elites, hopefully in multiplayer too.

i think the brutes were made to protect the covenant home planet instead of being the strongest part of their troops in the war i think that they were put in the war because the master chief blew up halo of course they might have just put them in the war now because the covenent leaders thought they stunk so badd they just want the master chief to kill them .yea im going to go with the second reason thats got to be it yep.

I personally cannot stand the elites. If I have to play as one I will be pissed when I play Halo I am the Master Chief that is what I love about the game I don’t want to play as no stinking Elite.

It will be bad enough in multiplayer when you are stuck as one. They are the enemy Bungie spent the whole last game making me hate them I don’t want to change my mind.

I will do whatever Bungie requires of their soldiers but I still don’t like the idea. The only thing worse than being an Elite would be being a damn Jackal (I hate those things with their stinking shields).

Now I would like to say that I like the new game type they previewed at E3 where you switch sides and since you really can’t see yourself in game I think it will be okay but in single player I don’t think we will be able to play as Elites. Now if they get pissed at the Prophets and start a civil war I would not be against that as long as I don’t have to fight at their side.

In conclusion it does not matter what I think Bungie will make the decision and I am sure it will be a good one but like I said before I do not want to play as an Elite.
