Don't you think it would be cool if you could play as the humans fighting against the covenant AND also be able to play as the covenant fighting the humans. Kind of like you can pick either Human or covenant as the campaign and you could play as both sides. It would make Halo 2 have unlimited replay value. What do you people think. I think it would be awesome to see both sides of the story.

I'd rather have a much longer game playing as the Master Chief then play as an Elite doing whatever it is that Elite's do...

I mean, to really immerse yourself you'd have to understand their language, get into their messed up psychology... damn, that might actually be fun. I wonder what they deem "honorable"?

That would be an awesome Halo3- playing through the Human-Covenant conflict as an elite. Of course, all you'd have to face would be humans who are easily slaughtered. Pretty much, only a tank would really catch you off guard. Either way, I'd like to play it. Elite's are my role models.

Naa i don't like to be covenant....cause when you play XB Live you won't see any master cheifs. I think it's not the smartest idea but thats just me

It'd be cool in multiplayer...not like is already available, but like Perfect Dark's counter-operative mode. It would be where one person controls the chief, and the other controls an Elite...and it's durring an actual campaign mission. I thought it was a lot of fun.

That idea is pretty similar to the new RPG Fable where you pick your destiny (good or evil) which allows for multiple hours of play... which farley similar to your idea (human or covenant) whioch wopuld also allow for multiple hrs. But if you think about it, the Covenant side would have to have different storylines to go along with the main human one... lots of work for our Bungie freidns.

This idea has been mentioned a couple of times, but Im glad that this subject was brought back up. What I would prefer would be to have the MC campaign, and if you wanted, you could unlock a "sub-plot" with an elite like zuka zammamee (not him but like him), and your goal would be to get the Chief. Of course, you never would, but along the way you may kill another Spartan when your in an intense battle (cause there is like 6 or more spartans left if I remeber correctly). The final showdown would be you against the cheif, but of course you couldnt win.. but mabye you could kill another spartan. Not that I like killing the best damn people ever, but it would be an interesting sub plot to tie into the normal campaign what its like on the Covie side.
