He's talking about multiplayer I think, and if so, then Hell no. That would leave the people as Elites at a major disadvantage.

theres plenty of ballance elites are suppoe to have there own equivelant to the rocket launcher ive evn heard that there gonna have a covenant sniper what more balance do you need and besides an elite looks weird running around with a battle rifle.

maybe he's saying since the elites would rather die than use a human weapon (in the books) they should be limited to covenent weapons in MP. In SP ok, I would agree, but in MP i think it's very retarded

Yeah, it would put the Covenant team at a huge disadvantage.

No Elites should use all weapons. If spartans can use all weapons it should be the same for elites. If Elites could not use all the weapons then Elites couldent use the sniper rifle or the shotgun because there is no covenant versons of those.

The only true equivalent, as far as I know, is BR/Carbine. It would put Elites at a major disadvantage if they could only use Covie weapons.

No, you're absolutely right, but you're missing one element: If Elites are going to be limited to Alien weapons, then they need to be stronger than Spartans (in terms of damage tolerable before death). On Legendary, it takes about 12+ headshots to kill one with a pistol--if they made Elites stronger than Spartans in MP, then they could balance it by allowing them only to use their own weapons (which makes sense because in the books Elites had utter contempt for alien weapons).

If Elites and Humans could only use their species-specific weapons, then every multiplayer would be overflowing with weapons. Bungie would have to include pretty much every weapon in the game, and you would see a different weapon every 20 feet. The whole concept for this poll is ridiculous. This is multiplayer not single-player.

Yeah, if they were to make MP match up with SP and let Elites use only covenent weapons, then as we all know, only on person in MP could be MC, as there is only one MC in SP. Not to flame, but dumb idea.

The elites start out wit a plasma rifle but they should be able to pick up human weapons. In zanzabar they have human sniper and rocket in the base where elites start so that would be retarded if they couldnt use them
