Ok we've all seen that there'll be elites in multiplayer to fight the spartans. But what about the other covenant? I for one wish that all of the covennant were playable in multiplayer excluding maybe the prophets, since they look crappy and we don't know of their powers.
Imagine how funny it'd be if there were loads of spartans and elites fightind and all of a sudden a grunt and brute walk in, the grunt plants a grenade omn a buys back and the brute uses the blade on its gun to rip sombody apart.
But it don't got to stop there, imagine if you could use the marines as multiplayer characters, think of the hillarity. And to eliminate the advantages that spartans and elites have, everybody will be given shields. Just like in Judge Dredd, dredd vs death. You could use everybody in that game and although only the Judges had shields, in multiplayer everybody had 'em. So thats what i gots to say, So please bungie, make this a reality.

No. It makes more sense if it just Spartans and Elites.

Spartans and Elites are the most equal. Other covenant will just unbalance it.

UltimaFire it seems you want Halo to be something that its not. Thats just my impression.

yea i think its fine the way it is.. anything else would be confusing..

elites and MC's are about the same size and height witch doesnt make it any more/less harder to hit them

To use the different models would become messy, even if you make the characteristics the same (ie giving Grunts shieldsand same hp as the Spartans etc). But in doing so it goes too far against the story of the game.

I agree...but maybe there could be a "ODST vs. Brutes" mode. They are pretty much equal. Both whitout energy shield but better than (usual) Marines and Grunts/Jackals

ODST vs Brutes wouldnt work. Brutes are harder than elites and ODSTs are worse than spartans. So thats fairly unbalanced. Spartans vs Elites is perfect, nothing is wrong with it.

Well thats how their A.I. works, but the basic concept is good.

Spartans and Elites are the workhorses of the two sides, why the others?
