I have heard rumors of being able to be a brute too in Halo 4. Anyone know for sure this will or will not happen. Also if it does i think instead of ranks in brutes and elites have ranks in the whole covenant like you start as a grunt then to work your way up to hunter or something cool like that i really want to be a hunter
I think the idea is worth the consideration, but there would have to be limitations of the variations as this would be adding 3-5 new species into the game zone. Either way, why not be able to play as a grunt or a drone…but as far as the Hunter goes, this would be tricky balancing out, but interesting non the less.
I wanted this in H3. Now I couldn’t care less.

In fact, no other species could be balanced than Elites. Even they had to be shrunken to be suitable for multiplayer. We really don’t need other species. Besides, any species beyond Brutes and Elites possess no similarities to Spartans, it would be completely impossible to balance.
i think there could be a way to balance, but IF not than a whole new play list could be made where gaining new species to play as, would be similar to ranking up via personal and team skill. Of course new maps may have to be made, but it is not that it can’t be done, its a matter of should it be done.
Unnecessary. Having Elites in Invasion is enough. We don’t need to be able to act like every Covenant species.
Besides, who says that the Covenant is even in Halo 4? Chief and Cortana are drifting towards a Forerunner world. Humanity has defeated the Covenant loyalists and the separatists have no further reason to leave their home worlds. In my opinion it seems highly unlikely that we’ll be fighting the Covenant in Halo 4, although I can still hope.

i think the fact that we are finally entering into an un-known of enemies, weapons, vehicles, etc…that a lot of the familiarities that we are used to playing with is more of like a comfort blanket, so to speak.
I do look forward to the unknown yet new stuff that we SHOULD come across, but although i wouldnt mind a few items, rehashed in the new trilogy, i would be very disappointed if that is all it would be.

No, don’t get me wrong. I fully agree. Canonically, it doesn’t make much sense for Covenant weaponry to be in Halo 4 unless 343i pulls some random plot twist out of their behinds. Multiplayer, on the other hand, may just be different. We all know that, besides Campaign, the canon is free to be twisted. Perhaps we can end up using the armament that we’ve come to know and love, combined with the new Forerunner array of tools.
As I said, we can only hope.
agree, and since we are talking MM, than ALL weapons/vehicles should be fair game, from all the titles.

As Frankie said; “No Purple.”
Don’t expect any form of covenant to be in Halo 4.

maybe not for multiplayer but it would be fun for custom games and machinima

Same here.
Maybe like a beast mode in GoW3, but not in multiplayer.
