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.
I would say enemies and marines were a little more important than Spartans when it came to making Halo great, not from a biased standpoint, but rather from the fact that initially what made Halo pull in players was the Campaign. It was ignorable who YOU were, you couldn't see yourself, it didn't matter, what mattered was the world around you. The enemies, Halo, allies, vehicles, and weapons.
In Multiplayer even if Elites were the only selectable model, I still think it would have been just as great, no change. Because after it all; it is the gameplay that matters.
Adding Elites to the game later was fine, but removing either player model would not be a wise move, there are players on both sides who would refuse to play, and buy, the game.
