Well, if you, in actual fact, contemplated it, considering that the UNSC lost the encounter at Reach; wouldn't it be modestly dim-witted to participate in a trailing team? The campaign conclusion would be a tad complicated to fabricate. The Covenant fought a engaging conflict in opposition to the UNSC, so why not believe in reinacting as them in Campaign as a substitute for the humans, otherwise at least both factions. It would appear to construct a bit further sagacity, for the reason that the conclusion would be improved. Take part in a perspective as an elite field commander, a zealot, or something analogous. The UNSC were the rabble of the scuffle, therefore why would you desire to participate as them, in view of the fact that in conclusion, you're going to recognize that you were fruitless, nevertheless? The populace anticipated as performing as marines, ODST's or Spartans, however, has anybody constantly reflected the initiative of playing as a Covenant affiliate, if they were the winning division? Now imagine it. If you were the UNSC, the conclusion would appear an inopportune viewpoint meant for you. Let's toggle things around. The conclusion for the Covenant would certainly fit further than the conclusion for the UNSC.

i hope we have two viewpoints one from humas and one from covies.

but there wont be just covenant, because the banner seems to show the humans as the main characters.

Conflict of interests, very few people would like to play as an alien killing humans.

well we played as the arbiter in halo 2 and not many people enjoyed it yet the end doesn't have to be the death as the colony it could be an epic escape to the shelter or a be all end all mission where you do what you can like arm a nuke to buy yourself some time and the cut to an awsome cinematic in which the chief makes a cameo by keaving in the pillar or somthing like that

Yes, however, the campaign wouldn't construct to a great extent of logic, if you recognize that you're accomplished to be overpowered by means of the Covenant, nevertheless. It's not awfully vivid to formulate a campaign that leads your division to defeat, yet if it is subsequent to a volume. What will you consider about the conclusion?


Intended for the community who didn't examine the novels:
The populaces that participate in it may perhaps not appear to be incredibly content, concerning the conclusion of the game.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

One thing I would like to do in Reach (if I was to play as the covenant) is to fight one or a group of spartans on the planet's surface. I don't mean fighting those spartans on normal or heroic, but try bumping the difficulty up to mythic (if there will be that difficulty) and see those spartans 3 shot you with a BR or outplay you. If Bungie was to make us play as the covenant and fight some spartans, they better have some incredible AI performance.

  • 07.12.2009 9:28 AM PDT

I'd run. Seriously; an Elite has no chance killing one Spartan, never mind three.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

If we are playing as the Covenant why the hell would the banner have Spartans in it? We will play as the UNSC. Also, we don't know if we really "lost" at Reach. Sure, the planet was destroyed, but what if held more secrets than we learned about in the novels? I mean, if we're playing as Sierra-259, we will not be alongside Will, Fred, Kelly, etc. in most of this game, so why not let us stumble upon something larger than we know about already?

It is a great community for the hardcore gamer.
Tell them Mongerty sent you

If you read the books, you will know that there are multiple directions that they can take the ending for UNSC. There is a patch of the planet that does not get glassed, there are forerunner artifacts, and there are spartans taking refuge underground.

Even if they do not take that path, their job is to fabricate a story. They know what they are doing.

Because most people would rather fight for the humans (Seeing as we are, in fact, human) than a bunch of evil crusading aliens hell bent on exterminating our entire species. Especially me.

In that case, why not take part in the game as both divisions, as a substitute of solely performing as an UNSC affiliate. I desire to accompany the Covenant's viewpoints as one of their own affiliates, taking place in this game, as acceptably as one of the UNSC's affiliates.

R.P.

This is a Bungie forum, not a thesis, you can type the normal people way.
As for the proposition, I would enjoy facing off against spartans, somthing new and refreshing. I personally will (most likely) love whatever they are making.
