Subject: Bring back the elites active camo

In Halo 2 one of the only good things about being an elite was using the active camo. I was very frustrated when they removed it for Halo 3. If there is a chance to play an elite during the campaign I would love to have some stealth missions.

I also think it would be interesting to have the active camo in multiplayer. Obviously it would have to be on a timer like in H2 but I think it would be more interesting to have some genuine differences between the elites and the spartans. Elites could have camo at the price of having less shields or alternatively less mobility. Introducing a stealth element to multiplayer would also bring more tactics into using the short ranged weapons. Instead of camping, elite players could ue stealth instead.

Obviously there would have to be different playlists in matchmaking, some with spartans only, others with elites only, some elite vs spartan playlists and some free for all playlists with players having the option to be spartan or elite.

In Halo Reach you will not have the chance to play as an elite. I do however think they should bring back the active camo for the elites we'll be fighting in campaign.

But then everyone would be an Elite, and it would be pointless to even be a Spartan. Campaign would be a good idea, but I don't think it should be implemented in Multiplayer.

Whats to stop reach having an optional elite back story? There are quite a few people who would like to see such a feature.

You might have noticed that I said elites would be WEAKER than spartans. They wouldn't just get free camo, it would come at a price. Obviously the balance would have to be right between the benefit of sheilds and the disadvantage of weaker sheilds, otherwise one team would always win.

click it you know you want to

i have the win solution, elites have camo, spartans have a sprinting ability.see, win

not a bad idea. Instead of pressing a button and getting camo, you could press a button and get use the power of your suit to complete amazing feats. Ie. higher jumps, sprinting etc. obviously it would have to be a short boost as oppose to a long term power like the camo.
This would give the two sides very different styles, mobility vs stealth.

Hell no. Even with all the possible limitations, hell no. I think camo should be left the way it is in Halo 3.
