I think it would be cool to be able to play as any of the covenant creatures in Halo 2. If you had to choose one which would it be?

jackals so you could use their cool sheild and as a team move in formation reflecting bullets while the heavy hitting elite allies move within

Playing as anyone but the elite would suck because their all different heights and have varying sized pressure points. The elite is similar in shape and size (as the chief) and has that cool similar mjolnir rivalling armour so elites all the way.

An elites head is the same size as a spartans, his heart area is in the same place and he has 2 arms, 2 legs etc. The elite is basically an covenant chief. Playing as any other covie would just make it unbalanced...

A brute might also work though but he's a bit too tall i think...

Playing as a Hunter would be cool as you could use their ramming melee attack and knock marines of cliffs!

Anything that has shields. So, if i couldnt be the MC, i would either be an elite or possibly CENSORED.

If I was a Grunt, I would be equipped with the Plasma cannon that was featured in Halo towards the end...you know, the ones that say, "If I die, I'm taking you with me!" and explode. Since you can respawn anyway, why not literally go out with a BANG!

I get the impression from the E3 demo that the only covie you'll be able to play in multiplayer will be the Elite. Like someone said earlier they're the most comparable to a Spartan.

so are brutes. so why not brutez?

Yes they are the chieves but covenant. they are basically the same and im sure bungie wont put in grunts or hunters because (although cool) it would make it unbalanced.

I also think you can call in air support in this covies vs. humans business (im not sure if you know) but this is probably just a rumour.

oh! because brutes are a lager target, they're taller, slower and more powerful than chief it would be less of a balance. Besides, Elites have similar shields to MC and are roughly the same speed, size etc. Elites are practically the same as Spartans in every way.

i'm pretty sure brutes don't have energy sheilding.

Perhaps if you have:

ODSTs + SPARTANS

vs

BRUTES + ELITES

It could work because ODSTs dont have any shields but they'd be easier to kill and I think Brutes are a little bigger than the ODSTs and thus are easier to hit.

Its just gonna be SPARTANS vs. ELITES

look, first of all, this forum is not about which one u will choose when the game comes out.
this forum is asking what covie would be the funnest to play as.
now the funnest to play as would most definitally be the brute. there are several reasons for that.

if you have read "First Strike" then you know how devastatingly ly brutes really are. they are faster and more agile than the master chief, and stronger even though the master chief has his MJOLNIR armour on. they are like gorillas, so it might be possible to scale walls or other obsticles. in an one on one match up, the brute can outperform any other character hands down.

i would play as a flood carrier form. you waddle about in the dark until you see the enemy. Then , you waddle SUPER MEGA FAST in his general direction and explode. When the spores you house hit the ground the game becomes a RTS where you control the four or five spore units. The game ends either when all of your spores die or you kill or infect every sentient being in the universe.

A Hunter would kick a Brutes ass. No, not kick.. SLAUGHTER strength-wise. The book is most obviously an exagguration. You can't honestly say that a Brute is faster and stronger, etc. when you've never faced one.
