- First of all, the war between Humans and the Covenant. War has many points of view. Point of views add depth, roleplay, fun, and bonding. When we first got out of sleep and did our UNSC training on the PoA, we thought and saw that every covenant was out to destroy mankind. But one Elite, out of no hope of surviving, showed Sgt. Johnson that they have feelings. - Halo 2 introduced us to the Covenant’s point of view as the Arbiter. We saw he tried to do what was right. Players chose Elites for MP and had fun no matter the imbalance. Did I care I was an easier headshot? No. I played for fun, like the rest of us. You might say “Elite too big” or “I could care less”. But, here’s where your arguments and hate are flawed. You say “Co op and Forge make or break the game”. You don’t care about Elites or duel wielding. Luckily for you, this topic is primarily on Elites, but anyway back on topic. Most of us play using mic or texting. But…have you tried to roleplay as your character? Have you ever tried saying “Forward Elites, we must capture the objective”? Or did the announcer do it for you? - In conclusion, are we REALLY going to just pretend we are forever in a Spartan training program for Halo 4 onward? Or are we going to pretend we are fighting for Humanity/Covenant in a war for the Ring/Halo. To be completely honest, comparing your hate for a species is like saying “Only playable Rebels are fine, we don’t NEED Empire, Republic, or CiS”. Or better yet, Jedi vs Jedi in training but no playable Sith or Dark Side users because “could care less”.
