As you may have known, halo 3 and halo reach gave you the option to play as an elite. I loved that feature, and I like things like that. It gives you a whole different customization level. In the campaign in halo 3 elites played a big roll in fighting the convenant forces. In halo 3 multiplayer you can PLAY as an elite. You unlock the elites in halo 3 just like you do with Spartans. however, in halo reach you buy Spartans but you have to level up to get the elite. Which one do you like better? Buying Spartans and ranking up, or getting achievements to get Spartans and elites. Please answer in the comments.
Never really thought or cared about it all that much really, I primarily play as a Spartan so I have no strong feelings one way or the other on the subject. 
Getting achievements for Elites and Spartans. It makes me feel like I’ve earned the armor, and it makes the two species feel that much more equal.
Nice name.
But you also forgot that you could play as an elite in Halo 2.
I would like some buying armour for Spartans and Elites while some are achievement locked.
I like unlocking through achievements the way H3 did it
except when they added achievements it kinda broke for some people. I had a friend who refused to play h3 because his security armor was taken away.
I think unlocking through achievements is fine, but I think all Halo games should allow for Elite customization features right off the bat. They have already expanded tons on Spartan modifications, why not Elites. I know Halo Wars concept art of the Arbiter had some sick Elite armor that could be easily implemented in today’s graphics.
> I would like some buying armour for Spartans and Elites while some are achievement locked.
I agree.
I feel a mixture of both will be my preferred option.
That way, I can earn but also purchase if I choose to do so.
