Should Bungie make matchmaking Spartans versus Elites like having one whole teamof Spartans and having one whole team of Elites or keep it at Red versus Blue?

Someone would complain the hitboxes are different. It would be cool, but people will whine and cry.

Signatures are for squares.

No, red vs blue works fine. Human vs Covie would mean that models would be different, and one team might have an advantage.

Negative. Make it UNSC vs. Covenant.

Spartans and ODST

Elites and Brutes

I don't care if Brutes were in the Reach timeline or not, or if ODSTs are weaker. This is for multiplayer purposes only. They don't have to be entirely strict in the Halo timeline nor canon. All four are playable simply because of semi-equal scale and level of badass.

Players can initially choose whether they'd prefer Elites or Brutes as Covenant and Spartans or ODSTs as UNSC as well. Of course, from there on they are able to customize those characters. Once they enter a game, whether they are placed on UNSC, they will be using whichever model they chose. Same goes for Covenant obviously.

Actually if you look on Halopedia it says that the hit boxes are the same and I'm pretty sure thats true. So I do agree with the idea of spartans vs elites.

  • 08.30.2009 12:38 PM PDT

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.”

1 sided gametypes would be nice with this.

But only if the hitboxes are the same.

  • 08.30.2009 12:49 PM PDT

I think that this would rock: I make almost all of my Halo 3 maps with an Elite VS Human setting in mind. Maybe they could have a gametype where a team of four Humans enters, then is matched up with another team of four Elites, so that only people who wanted to play a game like that (read: non whiners) could play the game, and keep it Red VS Blue with other gametypes.

Just enjoy the damn game!
Who cares about BR vs AR

Keep it as Red v Blue Spartans....
Or Elites v Elites.

If you're going to make a Spartans vs Elites game, put it in a separate playlist. Keep Red vs Blue for every gametype except for the Spartans vs Elites playlist.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

And what if someone who doesn't want to be an elite gets put on the elite team!

If I understand correctly, the team would be selected by your pre-set armor selection. If you were a Spartan, you would be on the Spartan team, and vice versa.

I've gotta say it would suck, because way more people are Spartans, so elites would get matches fast, and Spartans would be terribly slow. Keep it as is.

everyone is saying that people who dont want to be elites might be an elite.

there are people who dun want to be a spartan also..

I wouldn't mind that. Of course those people who get stuck as Elites would likely complain because everyone wants to be Spartans. And there may be a problem with the hit boxes. If Bungie made the Elites similar to the Halo 1 Elites who are not huntched over (which I hope is the case) than it could be fair.
Making the Multiplayer this way (Spartans vs. Elites) would make it more acceptable to the games cannon. I know MP isn't cannon; for the most part but since we are fighting the covenant in this. I wouldn't mind the change.


No, actually the multiplayer is canon (Red Spartans vs Blue Spartans). Basically, they are training missions in terms of the Halo Universe.

That would ruin it. Red vs. Blue can't be changed, and it will never be changed.
