Yes, I hope that there will be several groups created: Elites who don't want to ally with humans and keep their distance, visa versa, Elites/humans who hate humans/the Covenant and will even kill the Arbiters/the Sarge's people for allying with them, Elite who still believe in the Prophets and risk their necks trying to gain their trust once more, a group of humans and Covenant who believe the Monitor and serve him, ect. ect.
About the Arbiter, I think that Arby himself has allied with Miranda and Johnson but that Half-Jaw and his troops will be harder to pursuade.
Exactly. The people who thing that, all of a sudden, the Elites and allied species and the humans would be all lovey-dovey are morons.
Variable AI that sometimes allys with you and sometimes won't would add another layer of stratagy to certain levels. Even if this isn't included and all members from a certain species are autimattically hostile or friendly, it could still infuence diolague and actions; for example, an Elite who does not like the union would have very hostile diolague towards you, the humans, and elites that agree to the truce, and would have no problem "accidentally" shooting humans that "got in his way."
Thinking on it, I actually prefer this idea. It would add another layer of personality to the generic allies, as all the marines and elites have pretty much the same personalities within their respective speicies.
