Subject: Do you believe Halo Reach should have a seperate Covenant storyline?

If somebody's opinion is being smashed and nobody's helping, I try and help. I use logic and extensive vocabulary (and sometimes self-destructive circular reasoning) to confuse my enemies into submission. Fear me, trolling, fapping creatures of the night. For I. Am your worst nightmare.

What would be a great idea is that like Halo 3 they had the campaign complete achievements, well they should have a UNSC campaign complete achievement for each difficulty and the same for the Covenant. So you don't have to wait to long for a campaign complete achievment.

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

I am one of the few (or atleast it seems like it), that was fond of the Arbiter. The gameplay was the same as chiefs, but he had the useful limited camo. And his presence gave us insight into the Covenant.

That being said, the reality is, there was a huge outcry against it, when Halo 2 came out. Which is probably why he didn't have a huge presence in Halo 3. Additionally, it makes sense to get the perspective of an Elite on the events of Halo 2, and 3. In Halo 2, the Arbiter fights a Heretic faction, Flood , Sentinels, and finally Brutes. In Halo 3, he and his fellow Elites are helping to fight off Flood, and Brutes. In Halo: Reach, the Elites are killing marines. Doesn't make sense. Im sort of under the impression the bulk of Halo:Reach takes place after Masterchief is gone, after the future Arbiter has followed him through slipspace. Otherwise I say a cameo from the Arbiter, and Half Jaw in some form would be welcomed.

So unless theres something else on Reach, some kind of Forerunner installation, or ruins. There won't be any Sentinels, or Flood, and an Elite storyline wouldn't make sense with the game.

Well this was before the time of Halo 2's Arbiter so you could play as an Arbiter much like Halo Wars' Arbiter, bloodthirsty and savage(possibly with dual energy swords...hopefully). Also it could be the same Arbiter from Halo Wars because there wasn't that big of a time change between the invasion of Harvest and the fall of Reach so this might as well be the exact same Arbiter from Halo Wars. Or you could play as a squad of Elites. Anything coulld be a possibilty right now.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Games have been lacking in multiple campaigns recently.

I have wanted this for every shooter I have played, except FEAR.

Alien Vs Predator and AVP2 were amazing, and were enriched with multiple campaigns, and Halo Reach would be greatly improved with a Covenant campaign.

thats a great idea! it would give the full story on both sides of the war now that would be an awesome game! if it doesnt have that it would still be a good game but still great idea.

Don't worry man, i got your back
What Bungie did with the Arbiter in Halo 2 I thought was spectacular. Maybe it was just the fact that it was the first time i could roar like a dinosaur, maybe not. Anyways i would be up for a seperate story line. well, integrated

Thanks man. The dinosaur part, thats funny. But I wouldn't say its a roar...its more of a squeal. Well for a dinosaur that is.

What a waste....

How about, you don't have to play it, but to make achievements, you gotta play it.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Even though that was a major bump...

Yeah, Covenant story would be fantastic.

Also you would not be an Arbiter, the Arbiter in Halo Wars died (oops spoiler, whatever who cares). And none was ever created again until the one we know today.

Possible Covenant Characters:
Brute Pack Leader
Elite Special Forces
Half Jaw/Shipmaster Elite
2 other elites from Halo 3 campaign

etc.....

Yes but...that was a post before I beat the Halo Wars campaign...but the Mega Possibilities would be: Random Elite that you play as, or a Non random High ranking Elite. What I mean by random is like in ODST you play as The Rookie, a random ODST...


Even though that was a major bump...


Well Im sorry but I couldn't let a thread I worked hard on just die like that. I bet that if you did a thread like this youd try to revive it right?

Nihilism (from the Latin nihil, nothing) is a philosophical position that argues that existence is without objective meaning, purpose, or intrinsic value.

Put simply in the words of Nietzsche as "the will to nothingness".

You do realise that the arbiter we know in halo 3 was once a fleet commander at reach, then disgraced after the destruction of halo right?

Dead Mans Hand-Always Loaded.

I WAS SOCK

I wouldn't be upset if there were not. But, I would enjoy if there were. I'm sure either way, I'll be happy with how it turns out ^_^

i think that they should either
A) make an unlockable covenant story line by beating the UNSC campaign

B) do it like they did in halo 2 except longer

C) make a DLC (Downloadable Campaign)

Thats a good idea March. Bungie are you listening?!?!?

Spartan119 the Red Raven.
"So officer tell me how it feels to be at the wrong end of that barrel?"

play as the arbiter b4 he was the arbiter this could be fun (or have him make a cameo in hos gold armour he is a ship master at the time) but ya the future arbiter showing up would be cool and a covenant campaign would be amazing. pls let us drive the AA wraith this time pls. mabye even a phantom/ and or pelican mission were u have to save or drop or something with it.

"Eyes from Death's dream kingdom appear as sunlight on a broken column. There, in Death's other kingdom, walking alone, trembling lips form prayers to broken stone."

That would be interesting, but on the other hand, it would feel really akward fighting Spartans and Humans.

Yeah but remember, Elites were two times stronger than Spartans during that era, even with the Spartans augmentations.
