Does anyone know if you can for sure play as the Covenant in Halo 2?

only in MP (Elites only), as of SP the chances are .00000001 to 0

But they are supposed to be exactly like the spartans, just different in appearance, to balance the game... of course.

Yeah they said they are exactly the same but think about it. Elites are a little bit bigger which makes them easier targets and their head is in a different position relative to their body making them easier targets for headshots in soem occations. Did bungie say anything on how this would be balanced?

I don't think so, but they lean down, so size isn't an issue, it is the position of their head... I don't see how you could possibly get a head shot if their back is facing you, and you are not above them.

Edit: But then again... sniper rounds to go straight through targets. So it could go in through their back and out through their head... but with other weapons...

And when Elites crouch, at least back in Halo CE, they were lower to the groud but wider... I realy hope these issues are balanced otherwise its goign to be pretty freaky.
