Elites versus Humans Slayer

[Absolute Dog]

A while back eliteultra and I were kicking some ideas around in a forum and his love of Elites brought up a topic idea.

 

Have a slayer variant that is 4 x 4 that pits the Elites against the Humans. Your initial load out would be weapons specific for each species. Humans getting only human weapons for load out and Elites getting only the Covenant weapons. This would put a new twist on slayer and let those who truly love Elites play in a real slayer mode against the Humans, the epic and classic battle! There could be an AA list available for each species that is original to them. Sprint, jetpack, hologram would be for the humans and invisibility, armor lock and evade for the Elites.

 

In addition, you would pre-choose your species, be it Human or Elite and wait for lobby to fill. There are more than enough players who love playing as Elites for this to work.

 

What do you think?

 

If you would like an additional vote question, let me know.

Sounds good! Would just be a Slayer gametype of Invasion, just no objective. (except slaying LOL!!) Would work!!

Like the sound of it, getting the spartan v elite down to the basics would be real fun

[AgentLoFi]

I'm liking this idea!

[EGYPTIANGHETTO]

i thought the reason they didnt do this was because of the elites have different body shape/size, harder to get heatshots, etc. anyways i hate being an elite, i think invasion is enough

A reply to all. You would have the choice of playing the Elite or the Human. You choose your type and wait for other to fill the lobby. Will apply to the OP. Thanks all!

i would like to see that. also, what happened to different species on the same team? in halo 3, people could play either as an elite, or a spartan. i guess since the elites aren't on the UNSC side yet, it makes since.

Not a bad idea. They did become allies to fight a common enemy. Thanks Kurt.

Elites are bigger and faster in Reach, where as in Halo 3 they were just the same as the Spartan. There for it would make the game way too unbalanced.

 

Back to the OP, if you hadn't suggested the part where you choose Spartan or Elite before the game starts and you then search, this wouldn't have worked. But because you said that, this idea is very much do-able, and I think 343i should do this, its worth a shot.

 

Unfortunately, I don't think it would have the numbers to keep running for long.

Well there is one way to find out. I have many friends that like playing as Elites, and even more willing to play against them. Who knows.

Sounds good.

I totaly agree with this. My Sangheilian brothers and I would very much love to scrape spartens off the bottoms of our boots.

Does any one remember the Reach Beta? It had Spartans V's Elites.

I liked it, but the Elites are more powerful than the Spartans. They could balance this with the load outs.

i wish it had a playlist elites vs spartans, it would really make the multiplayer fit in with campaign. it doesnt make sense for spartans to fight eachother

I obviously agree. I am not sure how hard it would be to try this and see if it gets played, but when I thought of it, it seemed like a playlist that should have existed. Much like the idea of the Flood Infection.

i wonder if 343 would add the flood to reach, they could make a new choice in the living dead playlist instead of just infection and alpha zombies

I doubt they will or can add it to Reach, just too much work this late in the game.

Added a poll to the thread, sorry, should have been there from the beginning.
