You forget here....that you are playing as him....so if you move to pick up a human weapon.....you will........you are playing the game..............it's your decision as the player to do so.......not the Arbiters..............
Imagine then, the first level or two, if you try and pick up a human weapon and the Arbiter growls his disdain and even shakes the HUD a little bit as his head shakes. Then, later on, during a cut scene the Arbiter loses his Covenant weapons rolls over to avoid getting tagged with a plasma grenade (or something...) and comes up with a Human battle rifle (or whatever would be best suited for taking on his enemy). At the end of the battle, you would hear Arbiter grudgingly accept that the human weapon really was effective, it did after all save your life. From that point on the Arbiter would then use human weapons.
I somewhat agree here.........I believe that would've been possible if Bungie had more time............but Gravemind has warned him of the dangers of Halo.......and elites aren't stupid creatures.........maybe he wised up?..............
Have you ever tried a debate with a hard core christian person? Now, I'm not saying I have anything against Christians or Christianity but like in all things, some people take things too far. You can show these hard core types a passage from their own bible that contradicts their point. They'll obsess, spend hours scouring the pages, twisting the words, anything they can do to preserve their view, their faith. If that fails, the answer, and I quote from one, "God told me to read it this way." thus justifying a completely bent reading.
A zealot can't be swayed by logic, only by emotions and heroic circumstances. In Halo 2 it felt more like the Arbiter only changed his opinion because the Brutes turned on the council and killed them. That's like giving up on God because your local reverend touched little boys or something else horrible.
