If this tickles your fancy, say so. I think that in Halo 3, there should be two weapons that only are available to each race, either Spartan, or Elite. The Shotgun for the Spartan, and the sword for the elites. This would work in the campaign and in the multiplayer and add some spicyness to the decision of being one or the other when picking a race. Only the Spartan could pick up the shotgun, and only the elite could pick up the sword. The new maps for Halo 3 could house such changes, and I think would make it appealing to the Spartan vs Elite craze.

Or you could just make it shotguns only, since nobody is an elite.

I think playing through multi-player this way would make the wars between the Elite's and Spartans that much more interesting. I mean, having a mixed team would allow the team to be able to pick up both weapons. This would make each weapon specified by each race and become the flagship weapon to represent them. And it would put a fear back into the Spartans because they couldn't use the sword. (ELITE"S OWN)

the sword was the covenants answer to the shotty

Yeah, that's the idea, but the weapons are not the same thing. So making each one available to it's own race wouldn't hinder the gameplay.

Thats actually a good idea it would make more people want to be an elite. You just dont see many elites in MM.



Although if you know when to shoot the shotty beats sword every time.

I play as an Elite, but I don't know about it always being like that. I think if they're was a game type that had one team Elites and one team Humans, where each team started with a base with Human weapons and vehicles and the other started with alien weapons and vehicles that would be sweet!

But we may be able to play as more than just Elites and Spartans this time so the idea may need to be adjusted.

No, a gametype would not bring about mass competition between Spartan and Elite. And So, even if they add a new character to play by, there will still be Spartan's and Elite's.
