I made a thread about this a couple of days but it wasn't nearly detailed enough so I thought I would put all my ideas down. First things first, I don't know which forum this could go in so I have put it in here so don't comment about that if it is in the wrong forum.

Campaign

The Campaign for the Halo: Covenant Game is in two parts; the Elite Version and the Brute Version. The Elite Campaign has you controlling N'tho 'Sraom (btw he is the blue Elite in the Halo 3 Campaign if you don't know) and at first you are trying to find the rest of the weakened Covenant and end them once and for all, but the Brutes have found what they think to be as another Halo, Installation 07 (I don't know if all the Halos blew up when the Ark exploded but I thought this would be better for a campaign). You then land on the Halo and try and stop the Brutes from activating the Halo. This campaign will include more of the Elites on your side and maybe some Marines on the way, your enemies will be the Covenant Loyalists, the Flood and the Sentinels. The second Campaign is from the Brute's perspective and you spend more of your time on the Halo than the Elite Version. You play as a Brute Captain and you are trying to activate the Halo once and for all but the flood are released again and the Sentinels are back, the Elites are on your back as well. In this campaign you will look more into Brute culture and you will have the other species of the Covenant on your side.

Matchmaking

For matchmaking I would like a more Halo 3 feel to the gameplay and lots of maps maybe one on the Brute Homeworld, I would bring back the Skill system from Halo 3, not to say I don't like the Reach way of ranking up, it would just satisfy all types of gamers. More Weapons to be used still with some human weapons but I would rely more heavily on making Covenant weapons. I would like to see Invasion and a new gametype called Elites vs Brutes, that really speaks for itself tbh.

Armoury

Instead of the normal Spartan variety there would be Elite armour and Brute armour and there would be lots of choice as to which armour to choose. I would personally love Brute Chieftain and arbiter armour.

Firefight

Firefight would have more flexibility than Reach with the Halo 3: ODST feel to it. Have the chance to build your own firefight map, choose if you want to be an Elite or Brute and be able to pick which faction you wish to fight against. By that I mean like Covenant Loyalists, Covenant Separatists, Marines or Flood. Brutes can't fight Loyalists and Elites can't fight Separatists.

Forge, theater and Custom Games would be pretty much the same. Maybe more texture options on forge though.

So what do you think of the idea is it good or bad?

PS: Say what you would make different as well if you want

I'm not sure what you're looking for.

"Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing" -- Proverbs 12:18

Why only Elites and Brutes? Elites and Brutes had their spots in Halo 2. Why not Jackals or Hunter missions? Elites and Brutes get all the character development.

Because they are most like Spartans so it would not differ from the original Halo experience too much

This game idea will only be possible if Halo will be turned into star wars like games,making games about eeverything.

I don't want that to happen,they should make a game in every 3 year.Big games like the trilogy or Reach.

I'm not a fan of little side stories,those kind of games belong to franchises that spam 3 games a year.

I would say it is a big game since its telling the story of the Elites and it is only an idea after all. I'm not asking anyone to make it, I would just like that kind of game

Well a can see your idea working if they put two campaigns in Halo 4.One following the Chief and the other following Arby in your scenario.

But I would like to see Brute culture as well. Unlike most people I'm very interested in the Brutes even though they are bloodthirsty murderers

Unreal, isn't it?

So... You land on Halo, fight the covenant to keep them from firing Halo, then you try to fight your way to the control room of halo against the Flood....

So... is this another Halo CE remake?

My name is Legion, for we are many.

Only Elites and Brutes? I'm sorry buddy but that's the major flaw in your argument.

No it is different as you are on a playing as an Elite and things happen differently. Also you play as a Brute.
@nerdygamer As I've said before it would work better if it was only Elites and Brutes
