Subject: Halo Reach: Played from the Covenant Perspective?

I am terribly sorry if this theory has already arisen, but I'll talk about it anyway.

Earlier today, PredatoryChin and I were having a talk about what Halo: Reach could be. Here is what we came up with.

We think that Halo: Reach could be a game playing from the Covenant Perspective, much like with the Arbiter from Halo 2. It would bring some new elements into the Halo universe.

Anyway, we all know (or at least, should know) what happens to Reach, and if we do play as any human, well, we all know the outcome. But, what about the Covenant?

Wouldn't it be interesting to play as a Covenant soldier, ready to fight against the Human Race? It sounds like an interesting concept, and could bring something new to the table.

This is just our ideas that we have.

Discuss.

I agree. Covenant campaign was fun for me. Since the Covies do win this battle, it would be a great time to have this in the campaign. I've always wanted to kill marines. In H2 I loved being the Arbiter, made me a sad panda in H3 when he was dumbed down into some stupid AI who made retarded noises.

Yeah I enjoyed playing as the Arbiter, and knowing more about The Covenant.

Join the 616th ODST Battalion. Drop feet first into Hell... then take out the population. Sign up today!

Hellloooooo Grunt levels!!! But seriously, I would like to play not as just an Elite (with normal looking armor!), but as a Grunt, a Jackal, and even part of a Hunter pair. Maybe even a Drone. Now THAT would be different.

Extraterrestrial life detected, attempting communication:
"Hello, where can I find the space bathroom?"

Reach from the Covenant perspective was just Elites slapping their faces against the "Glass" button.

Hell, that's basically the entire war from the Covenant's perspective.

I personally don't like this idea and I suspect many others will not either. It'll be like Halo 2 when people raged at the fact that you play as the arbiter for 3/4th's of the game. I would prefer to play as Master Chief and have all his backstory (the school, that boss training course they went through as kids) but this probably won't happen because they would have to reveal his face which is a big no-no for bungie. But hey, it could be a treat being their last Halo game, I don't want no other game developer -blam!- all over him and revealing his face and make him look like a -blam!-.

tl;dr

Stop PMing me if you are group recruiting.

Playing as a Hunter would be kick ass.
