Why make a story line behind matchmaking?
Seriously I had the most fun making up my own story behind matchmaking. all adding a story to the multiplayer does is create restrictions; that’s why there are no Elites in it.
It has also made me feel like everything is just one big simulation (which it is now) rather then a real place in the universe.
some might say that it -Yoink!- with Spartan ops but just keep that separate.
anyway what do you guys thing about it.
I like the novelty of it, but it does have flaws like you mentioned. Really, multiplayer is the last place that needs a story given all the crazy things that happens in it.
Honestly, it ain’t as bad as you make it sound IMO.
It’s kind of nice to give it a background story. If 343 is going to be adding elites in the future, all they have to do is say that the elite versus human thingnisnnot a simulation or something like that. Personally I would like for 343 to keep it this way.
If its that big of a problem, just use your imagination man.
Halo 4 made Matchmaking into a holographic dream from Roland’s sick and twisted subconscious mind.
Before that I used to like to think I was part of a pointless and bloody civil war between Spartan factions constantly fighting over two small bases in an isolated box canyon.

I really love the concept of mulitplayer being tied into the Halo canon, as it makes me think that my Spartan is an actual being in the Universe. I’m not sure why 343i didn’t include the Sangheili into the multiplayer, so all we can hope is that they can be incorporated into the multiplayer in H5. Some things though, don’t make much sense. For example, Team Action Sack.
And I could care less about it being a simulation, you’re still fighting in an actual map based on locations from all over the universe.

Wasn’t that what the OP was already doing?
Interesting concept, but pointless.
Does any Multiplayer really need to be part of the games lore? (Exception is given to TF2)
The answer is no. It’s a nice touch, but kinda redundant since it’s just background stuff.
I just think that putting all this time and effort into something as meaningless as a story for multiplayer in a game that has done amazing with out it is a bit foolish.
and like I said before it just adds restrictions, that’s why Bungie made a prequel for their last Halo game; so that they wouldn’t be bound to the story they had created up to Halo 3

If there is Flood in War Games, then I say there can be Elites.

They did it because they wanted to do it.
And I credit them for that originality because they did not do it half–Yoinked!-.
The schematic of the UNSC Infinity shows the wargames room. All the action is taking place on the ship.
Even if you got what you needed (Elites, I am guessing), there would still be restrictions on that MP. That chap wanting to play as a Heroic Grunt in MP could still level the same complaint as you.
Ultimately, the authorship of the MP, and the whole game lies with 343i.
I would recommend pressing 343i hard and respectfully in order to get what you want in Halo

I just don’t like them doing things like adding a story into the multiplayer when the multiplayer itself feels like an unfinished product. and as for me wanting elites back in multiplayer that’s just cause it added some extra flavour to it I never played as them in multiplayer.
If war games was is a training simulation why does ordnance work differently than in spartan ops?
these things bother me.

Not good enough in halo 4 apparently.
