The itch that needs to be scratched.

Since there will be elites, but we will not be able to play as them in halo 4. They said they’ll “scratch that itch.” what do you think it is?

Nits.

> Nits.

Not sure of naughty misspell, or something I don’t know about the halo universe…

He means head-lice

Invasion type gametype but just Spartans vs Spartans. I always enjoyed Invasion, although map design was sooo poor on most maps (oh lets have the attackers spawn on this raised platform that can be easily spawn-trapped).

Ah, yes. But can you explain how this is relevant to my post?

You scratch your hair when you have head-lice. It’s a reference to “Scratching that itch”. However, it is not relevant at all.

OT: Maybe a new game mode? o_O

You might be on to something…

Play as a Promethean Knight in some new Game-Mode? Maybe like Firefight against the Flood?

Frank said that there would be a good reason this time why red spartans fight Blue spartans.

Promethean Nit.

It’s a new enemey Class… thought everyone knew this :confused:

I hope playing as an Elite dies with Reach. The only positive experience I have had with an Elite is the noise they make when they die. And they do that perfectly well in campaign/Spartan ops.

Yeah, it’s the IVs training on the holo-deck of the Infinity.

Also, EeriestMercury2, you are a funny guy :slight_smile:

Wasn’t scratch the itch about Invasion gametype and not about Elite. I know a lot of people miss that but there was two question in the same sentence (the first about Elite, the second about Invasion). Answer was no to the return of the elite and said there would be something to scratch the itch about invasion.

Now that you’ve mentioned Elites, it just popped in my head: it would be cool to play a Spartan Ops episode as Elites vs Promethean Knights. You know…sorta Invasion gametype on Reach; you get to play either as an Elite or as a Promethean Knight.

But just for one episode, I want to play the rest of the Spartan Ops season as a Spartan, fighting both covies and prometheans.
That could make for an itch scratching.

What do you guys think?

i found a post retaining to the playing as the elites on some spartan ops mission. As well the Arbiter will make camo appearances in spartan ops as well. I don’t think this post is true but i can see the arbiter making appearances in spartan ops.

Well, Kiki did say that Invasion was a very important aspect of Halo that won’t be leaving Halo at all; I think it accidentally said by her.

Invasion, or something VERY similar to it, is staying in Halo. Maybe this is what they have in store for Elite fans?

But we’ll have to wait till PAX.

I believe frank in a post alluded to there being “elite ops” missions down the line involving the arbiter.

It would be sweet if we got to play as Promethean Knights

As a now former Elite player myself, I was very disappointed with what Reach did with elites in MP as well as removing their customization.

Halo 4 even more so with the removal of the feature as a whole.

‘‘Scratch the itch’’ smells of being but a flimsy dodge and for public relations to remain docile or positive.t.
