Subject: I hope there aren't any Spartans in Reach

Wherever you roam
so far from home
you'll be safe from peril
life threatening and terrible
if you avoid David Powel
and keep track of your towel.

That just won't happen. Spartans are the very embodiment of the Halo universe. ODST is the only Halo product that doesn't have a Spartan on the cover, and Contact Harvest is the only one that doesn't have a Spartan-II in armor somewhere on the box.

I certainly hope that we can still play as Elites despite there being next to no possibility of playing as Elites in the campaign though.

Give me the damn cookie!

I hope they are a bit more creative and make some real enemies, getting -blam!- tired all the grunts and brutes who jumps around and screaming -blam!-. Would have been cool with real people as enemies. Seems there is a little boring with just the Covenant

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.

What? If we removed the spartans then the game would not be fun.

Whats the difference between playing as a Spartan or an Elite? They are exactly the same, the only difference is the hands.

If they made a game from the Covenant's point of view, you might get to kill humans, REAL PEOPLE, wouldn't that be great?

The only reason I don't like elites is because people like you come here and post things like"We Shangheili shall defend our honor!" You are not an elite. Shut up.

Uhh Sure If you read The Fall of Reach you will realize the importance of the spartans. Im no elite hater i love elites but you can't take away Spartans. And did you look at the Forum Banner at all?

Actually, that was a direct reply to the thread that spawned this one, which was titled "If hope there arent elites in reach"

And in it, I did defend my honor as an Elite player. Do you really think that the word honor is related to Elites? Honor is a human practice which kept many people happy, good, and at peace for a very long period of time. There is little honor in the world we live in today, but the few who still believe in it still feel the need to defend it.

When I am told that my favorite character model sucks, or I am a bad kid because I play as an Elite, I defend my honor.

Look up the other thread, you will better understand this one. It is actually a mockery of his thread and is not an attack on Spartan players (As you would know if you read into Page 2).

  • 11.09.2009 4:53 PM PDT

Y you always tellin ppl to read page 2 man?

  • 11.09.2009 7:34 PM PDT

I play for the funzies. I salute anybody who goes by the BUNGLE code. I believe in Sasquatch, Buddha, Santa, & the fact that marijuana cures racism. I AM CANADIAN. I am...The Skookumchuk

I love Elites. But I wouldn't like to see Spartans gone, because without Elite haters, being an Elite wouldn't be half as hilarious.


And what is with some people playing as Elites talking as if there great-granddad was an Elite and they have to defend their lineage? You aren't the William Wallace of Elites for Gautama's sake!

listen to yourselves! you cant remove spartans from halo neither can you remove elites they are the core of halo, yes it is a bit unfair that spartans got all the permutations, and im sorry to say this but spartans are overated. i think they are both cool but there is a significant imbalance of fans to both sides elites being the smaller, elites didnt lose any of thier mysteriousness because you played as the arbiter in halo 2, it just meant you discovered more about them and saw they werent the real bad guys, also you needed to be able to understand them what would be the point if you couldn't you would'nt know what to do. spartans will be in halo reach and so will elites its a fact. please dont give me any of the whole "300 spartans would own 300,000 elites" talk, spartans and elites are equal with the elites being 20-30% stronger and they are just as smart as each other. mc ony beat all of those elites because you (the player) are meant to there wouldnt be a point in a game which you couldnt beat. i love elites so spartan fanatics please put your big boy pants on and grow up.

spartans arent the only part of halo you know

  • 11.10.2009 11:12 AM PDT

Stop PMing me if you are group recruiting.

Spartans are the center of attraction of Halo so why should they be removed? Without Spartans the Covenant would have raped the UNSC and there would have not been a game.

Stop destroying the environment,get of that computer and go into your backyard and build a nuclear powerplant...

I love elites. The only people who dont like elites are the BR/MLG fan boys who just cant live without there BR. Elites in swat dont get me angry at all, i can still hit them in the head and when there not facing me i stalk them shoot them once in the back and when they turn around kill them. If you cant head shot an elite then you aren't very good. Elites are cool because they are massive alien monster with 4 pieces of there mouth sticking out with bulky spikey armour.

  • 11.10.2009 1:03 PM PDT

I'm not big fan of MLG i'll admit that I liked playing it at one point but could care less now.
