How would you guys feel about a type of multiplayer where one team can play as the covenant and the other as the humans. Perhaps, switching every round. Maybe there can be like themed battles, for example: SPARTANS vs. Elites. Or SPARTANS vs. Brutes. Maybe even each character can have their own mechanics too, unlike the elites and spartans of H3 who play exactly the same.

Yeah sure that could work too..

Another idea I just had: When you play as an elite, you can command your grunt squad. I think it would be pretty cool to be able to give orders to your AI.

I would rather have an option below "forced color" that would allow you to have a "forced race"

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.”

In certain playlists, mainly SWAT, people complain that Elite models have an unfair advantage. With "forced race", you could set it to Spartans or Elites.
