Playing as an elite in the assault of Reach? Walking through the various facilities and towns and killing all the humans in your way, just because you're destroying a planet?
The idea looks good for the people that want to get a good perspective of the events in reach from the Covenant side and what was happening in their lines during the battle.
As in Halo 2, we've already experienced to play as a Covenant and it was very pleasurable, however how we can say playing in Halo Reach as a Covenant will be good as in Halo 2?
Halo Reach, is a prequel, where the planet your grown and trained to be a super soldier has been attacked from an powerful enemy, the covenant.
In order to Survive you must rush between missions in order to save as most marines you can (sounds obvious), while you have to go through lines of Covenant's.
Playing as an elite will be exciting, however we do have to keep in mind these things
+ Story sense. (It makes no sense to be an elite that kills humans, when its clear we're a team of Spartans that fight against the covenants)
+ Game play. Yes, many people will say "why, its badass" however, its not that exciting to kill humans while you're invisible.
+Spartans, of course you will meet Spartans in battle, I doubt that an Elite, all by himself could win over a Spartan, as we've noticed, Master Chief requires at least 10 Covenants to die in game.
+Maps, maps and more maps. Since the max size of a DVD now days is about 16/20 Gb, we do have to keep in mind all the maps, modes and scripts that will be required to run the game.
Good aspects about having elites in the game
+A new prespective, the story will be more complete and further developed. The player will enjoy going through it and switching sides.
+Badass, yes its badass making a massacre through the humans, also a good thing if you like splatter movies.
Thats my opinion.
A Spartan as a Boss, then.
