That would just be an awesome new way to experience the Halo story.
Yeah, and while we are at it we could murder a whole bunch of civilians too!
Nope. I don't find much cause for entertainment in playing as a bunch of genocidal crackpots. Bungie stayed away from it for a good reason.
i was literally going to say the same thing, bungie already played it pretty close to the chest with alien religious extremeism in light of what was happening around the world just after the story for CE was finalized. And the whole dervish moniker to be given to the thel, not to mention the prophet of truth's title.
Bungie for the most part, is quite good at avoiding controvery (which is why you don't hear about this stuff, were it not for the wiki), this idea of the player controlling an elite minor at the height of their aggression to humanity would never have worked.
I've never read any of the books, but I'm sure the elites have been in other wars besides with humans, right?
