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.”

And as an elite, who would you fight?Story element? How about a high ranking elite in command of a large amount of ground forces, leading the charge, clearing areas for engineers to explore for forerunner artifacts.
(I hope)
Well, it is better than "Lets kill stuff for fun."
However, it still is a pretty basic storyline. It would need some sort of twist to make it interesting. Like, they wake up a big forerunner construct or something and they need to stop it from both killing their troops and destroying the surrounding ruins in the fight. That would be cool, but would be hard to pull off, as we probably would have seen things like that in subsequent Halo games. If only sentinels were as diverse as the covenant...You are right about the bare bones.
I would like to see it as an unlockable campaign, after you bean the Spartan one on Legendary, so that you know what is happening on the other side of the war, and have context for your missions.
