Do you guys know/ think elites will be playable in halo reach, i doubt it because its about reach when elites were enemies but...

If so bungie should definately make some special elite armor, a bit like recon. Once again I doubt it but we'll see where it goes.

P.s. try not to turn this into a flame war and calm dowsn and don't be to serious or takes things too literally.

In Halo 2 we got to play as the Arbiter, and that was before they became allies.

but the arbiter was rogue and didn't follow the prophets, he fought the brutes, its not like he killed marines in halo 2

True, but he wasn't an ally either. So, Elites playable: quite possible. Elites killing marines: maybe.

are you saying you want another "CAN I HAZZ RACOONNZZ ARMUUR PLZZZZZZZZ" war?

Nah because not many people use elites, plus it doesn't have to be like recon, maybe just more interesting armor

I don't think we will play as an elite in the campaign. There is nothing to fight other than marines and marines in vehicles, there aren't enough spartans to really create a "tough" enemy, and elites certainetly won't be fighting flood or other covenant.

I don't see why they wouldn't be in multiplayer though.

As for the elite recon armor, I seriously doubt that any recon style armor will be in the next game because recon was a failure. People could only see the armor and nothing beyond that.

Everyone with recon armor was viewed as "special" because they had recon and nobody else had it, in reality they are special because of the things they did to earn that recon. When I think of Lord Mongoose, I don't think "He's a guy with recon armor", I think about his awesome montage that he made and how it opened up a world of monriding fighting.

But apparently people never understood this, so to cut down on pointless and depressing spam in the forums and in the game, there shouldn't be a "special award" armor.
