Subject: New team choices?

I was thinking that instead of colors as teams they could make it so that it would be elites vs spartans or flood vs marines

Elites versus Spartans isn't wise. Right now, and since Halo 2 was out, people have been... racist, I suppose, towards elites. In general, not too many people favour them. They think it's easier to snipe them in general, and factually, it is easier to get lucky reflex head shots on them. Therefore, people would be upset to find that they're playing the 'weaker' race during multiplayer matches.

Colour is the only way to alter without affecting gameplay, unfortunately.

Only if they did a UT mission based MP map. Elites have to take a wharehouse and it's up to the Spartans to stop them thing (no AI). Otherwise, I don't see a point to force people to play a race that they might not want to be (speicist reasons or otherwise).

I was talking more along the lines of a 1 flag ctf situation where the spartans tryed to get to the flag and bring it back

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

maybe as an option but if it was strictly mc's and elits, that wouldnt be fun. colors offer more individuality for people.

Well if you think about it, elites look like Darth Vader without his mask.

Anyway, I see where you're coming from and I support your idea.

-John Mayer

Forcing someone to play as a character they don't want to be would bring a tremendous amount of quitters, Which I think we have enough of right now. I hope in Halo 3 the Elites stand with a little better posture, so sniping them at chest level isn't a headshot.

It'd be better to stick to team colours. What I'd love to see is Grey Vs White instead of Red Vs Blue.

  • 07.01.2006 9:30 PM PDT

I agree with your idea, but only if the elite is altered in multiplayer so it is as hard to kill as a spartan.
