I will note that other than the trailer…we don’t know jack about what the Promethean Soldiers are capable of. I’m guessing givin the way they’re structured/modeled they could possibly be controlled in PvP. Thoughts?

In the image that compared the sizes, they were the same size as the Chief. So it’s actually quite possible.
Having another fighting perspective (playing as another race) would be an awesome addition to Halo once again. But I highly doubt we will be able to do that.
I don’t see this happening. The Promethean Soldier was created so that we have more to fight than just Knights all the time.
If anything, we’d see Elites playable way before Prometheans, and it doesn’t look like Elites are playable.
I hope we can play as elites as well or maybe a brute substitute. So you’d get to play as either brute, elite, spartan or promethian soldier. So much hype I hope there’s an offline mode where you fight the ai with ai on your team so a giant fire fight mode with three teams.
Unfortunately, I must say that it doesn’t look like they are playable. We will play as red or blue Spartans while the covenants and prometheans will be AIs.
This reminds me of an idea I had for Destiny too.
I really hope 343i can hop into games as bosses and play in matches at will.
Some of my greatest fun times in Ultima Online was when during a dungeon raid (of the time), was when we realised the devs were watching us attempt to control the spawns and they’d hop in a uber-powerful balrogs, demons, dragons, liches, etc, and sometimes we’d win, usually they’d win.
They shouldn’t deny themselves an oppourtunity for community interaction, even if it’s seemingly so local to just a few matches at a time on a game where thousands of matches are played at once.

Good lord. It’s like everything a Spartan should be…
except really huge

That’s a really cool idea actually. It’d be pretty neat to fight some devs in such a unique way.
343i already confirmed that Halo 5 will be “All spartans. All the time.” so there’s really no hope for any other playable species

Soldiers have none of the problems playable elites do though.
