Well I've been wondering this for a while.When you make a guy in halo (1) For example,my guy, I named him HBOGuardian and I can customize his controls his colors and whatnot...But in Halo 2 when you are making a guy can I make a guy name him HBOGuardian (or whatever) Choose his color controls....but also his race? Or is the race thing just gonna be used in online cov vs human battle? So basically what im saying is will there be spartans and elites on the same team during online battle every time or is it set so that only in certain gametypes elitesd can go vs humans..

I think it's random for team games. You should be able to pick your race for Free-for-all though.

Word has it you can make your own custom symbols to put on your arms and the like. There was a thread discussing logo making a while ago.

Oh, and about the Elite all the time thing, teams would get unbalanced. You'd have to trade team members if you were so obsessed about race, or you could just switch to that race.

i think that on teams the team has one race and one color for everyone but each person gets their own symbol and free for all i bet you get to pick individually or when you make your person you chose what you want to be in FFA

Yeah I know that,As a matter of fact if you pause at the right time in the recent trailer (the one that started this BEE stuff) you can see the elite has a ying yang on his arm..a green and teal one...(this was the one where the guy melee's the elite and it says you killed truth) near the beggining of the film...See I want to be elite in EVERY game i want...I dont want to have to be spartan......:'(

Then you'll just have to talk with the other team and see if they'll let you be Elites. There should be a race changing system, along with team color changing system.

It would be confusing if teams had a mixture of master chief and elites. Elites vs mc makes it easy to know whos on or not on ur team. Think of colour blind people plz :(

No, I meant like a race change for both teams. The spartans turn into elites, and vice versa.

The announcer could say "Color Change" or something. Besides, it'd be sad if the players didn't shoot the things without triangles over their heads, and show up as enemys on the MT (motion tracker).

SB-117

Perhaps when you create a profile you must set the colour schemes for both spartans and elites before being able to play multiplayer?

Well , in the case that you're colorblind, you can always put the team indicators on, so your teammates would have a green arrow above their head.. although i dont know what color it is when you're color blind.

Maybe you could have an option to turn off friendly fire like in RS3 so you can shoot now and ask questions later.

I think I would prefer to have teams mixed with elites and spartans instead of spartans versus elites. Does anyone know if the elites or spartans have their own strenghts and weaknesses in mp, or do they just look different?
