Subject: Reach, 2 sides campaign, Arbiter and Cheif

This is just an idea i had, in reach, should they bring back the 2 part campaign from halo 2/3 and show the side of the war from tha arbiters point of view as the head of the elites and the cheif as one of the spartans?

I personally think that it should switch between a few spartan characters, with one of them being the most prominent, depending on the mission.

It worked well in ODST.

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.

Actually it is more likely you wont see EITHER.

I would rather see a NEW Spartan and NEW Elite as the two main characters.

The Future Arbiter's Fleet ATTACKED Reach, but he spent the whole time on his ship, commanding/at Halo. And Master Chief spent the whole time on an ops mission in orbit/on Halo.

Yes, but you also play as a Spartan online.

You have to imagine how PAINFUL it is for major Elite fans like myself to have the Arbiter's Campaign put there for us in Halo 2, than the Covenant side ripped out from under us altogether in ALL THREE of the next Halo Games. With Reach, I really want my Covie Campaign back.

Yes, different campaigns as an Elite not an Arbiter, and as another Spartan not the Chief. I mean come on, doesn't anyone get tired of playing as the same exact characters (excluding ODST and Halo Wars because you can hardly consider it to be Canon and it's not a true Halo game) through out all of the Halo games.

Play Halo 2.

Anyways, Thel was a Supreme Commander during this time. There was no Arbiter during the events of Reach.

I don't feel any better when I reach a rank. I feel great when my enemies burn around me and I scream to the night air "Why the hell am I still alive?" as grenades explode around me and I continue to throttle people.

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.”

I would prefer that to a single story line,

But I want 2 separate campaigns even more, with unlockable scenarios similar to the ODST Flashback scenes.

hmm, well i think during the reach time period there were still other spartans aswell as the cheif, and the multiple characters on the reach logo suggests a squad so maybe something like odst but with a squad of spartans instead? still, just for once id like to play it through with the entire covenant as allies for the entire campaign

I'm sure there won't be an Arbiter in Halo: Reach. But it would be interesting to play another campaign in which the main character were an Elite, not the Arbiter but a new guy.
