In Halo Reach i loved to play invasion, but now im guessing since there is no elites in halo 4 multiplayer it wont be in it. Sooo… if there is no elites in multiplayer what is the point of adding enemy (covenant) weapons??? Especially since it is Spartans IV’s in training, why would they train with enemy weapons instead of there own (human) weapons???
Because the Covenant (while taking a backseat for this new threat will be facing) will still be playing a role in Halo’s future? Besides, fans love the sword, the ray gun (PP), hammer, stickies etc. Players will be pissed if you remove classic weapons like that.
We didn’t play as Elites in CE and there were Covie weapons. I don’t see why Halo 4 can’t do the same with having only Spartans IVs as playable character skins.
It’s all a part of the backstory behind multiplayer and Spartan Ops, being training exercises for Spartans. In plus, why not use enemy weapons? It’s always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the weapons that you might stumble upon on the battlefield, since chances are that you’ll need to use them at one point or another.
And like A Critical H1T just said, we used Covenant weapons in Halo 1, where the whole training facility backstory to maps was most apparent (until now), so that’s no reason not to have them now.
In plus, it would be pretty lame to have multiplayer with no Covenant/Forerunner/whatever weapons.
