I have studied for many hours to determine that elites are playable in the campaign....enjoy





In EGM magazine issue 181 on page 47 EGM says "Were not sure if covenant players will have different physical characteristics than spartans. We asked three different people working on the game and got three totally different answers. Guess we will have to wait and see. But we did get a hint that covenant may be playable in single player campaign mode! When we pushed for more details, one product manager would only smile and say, "Bungie has a lot of tricks up its sleeve for Halo 2""

This is from the July 2nd update,"Staten, Stat!

Joe spent the entire week fixing a... [HEY! Wait Joe, I can't even TYPE what you just said to me. That is the MOST SECRET thing I ever even heard of. I ain't even typing that, I'll get my ass fired for even thinking about it too hard. -Frankie]" Hmmm....elites playable in campaign maybe???

I also was told this by a friend who works for microsoft(said he played the beta) "Sorry, I was swore to secrecy on anything I saw or heard while playing Halo 2.....I whine....Fine!!! I will tell you one thing....I scream "what is it what is it".......The master chief is not the only one who is important to the plot in Halo 2, the covenant are very important. But to understand why you have to see it from there point of view"


Just a theory of mine :)

What I understand is that the beta testing for the campaign is only being done internally by Bungie right now, the beta testers are only testing Mulitplayer

The last part could just mean that maybe you will play along side with the covenant. Or maybe half way through an elite comes to you and tells you the story from his view...lame..

At first I thought it would be dumb to play as Covenant in SP. As time went on, I've been thinking and it might not be that bad, depending on how they do it in the game. Bungie's good at making games, so I'm sure playing as a Covie will be fun. After all, I think this is the last Halo game, so why not.

Interesting. I never thought about being anything other than MC in campaign... (Or co-op.)

"Bungie has a lot of tricks up its sleeve for Halo 2"
Meaning if this is one, there are still a lot of others do not know, or have not yet thought about.

It might be pretty cool, depending on how Bungie puts it in.

To Hell-Jumper it was EGM and not OXM and if any of the mods find the quote from the article illegal to the rules just edit it

Well, they already have all the animations, and crap for Elites in MP, so why not in SP?

That'd be pretty fun, like in Half-Life where you can play as a security gaurd, or military guy, besides Gordon.
