(If there is a season two)<\/p>\n<p>Below are the choices that were presented as well as my &#8220;For and Against&#8221; discussion. Read on and PLEASE leave a reply letting me know which of these you&#8217;d be for or against and why.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a for and against for each:<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\"><strong>Brutes<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<em>For<\/em>: Big and bulky, these guys were feared in Halo 2 and 3. They were easily a match for an Elite.<br \/>\n<em>Against<\/em>: That&#8217;s one of the problems&#8230;they were a match against elites. 343 wants Elites to be the main Covie enemy<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\"><strong>Drones<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<em>For<\/em>: We definitely need an aerial Covie enemy and the Yan&#8217;Me fit this nicely. Coming in swarms they could be a real pain in the arse.<br \/>\n<em>Against<\/em>: Potential lag? IMO, they do resemble smaller versions of Promethean Knights. Not exact, just similar.<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\"><strong>Engineers<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<em>For<\/em>: Okay, they are NOT an enemy class, but they do bolster the shields of enemies. They look cool as hell.<br \/>\n<em>Against<\/em>: They take up a true enemy slot that we could be killing otherwise<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\"><strong>Skirmishers<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<em>For<\/em>: Nasty and fast<br \/>\n<em>Against<\/em>: 343 would have to recreate them to look like their Halo 4 Jackal cousins.<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>New Promethean Types<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<em>For<\/em>: Having only 3 Promethean types was kind of slim for a new enemy class. Would be great to see something else.<br \/>\n<em>Against<\/em>: With Requiem gone, are there any Prometheans left?<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\"><strong>New Covenant Species<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<em>For<\/em>: Definitely would love to see a new race found by the Covies.<br \/>\n<em>Against<\/em>: People like what they know. Plus this would have to be explained. Maybe Halo 5? Also, would they be part of the storm faction or the original covies?<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><strong>Flood<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<em>For<\/em>: Lots of people want to fight them again.<br \/>\n<em>Against<\/em>: I&#8217;m not one of them&#8230;<br \/>\n\u2022 <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>Sentinels<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<em>For<\/em>: Flying enemies can always be a pain since they can find you anywhere from any angle<br \/>\n<em>Against<\/em>: We now have Promethean Watchers<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0<span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\"><strong>Drinols\/Sharquoi<\/strong><\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/halo.wikia.com\/wiki\/Drinol\">http:\/\/halo.wikia.com\/wiki\/Drinol<\/a><br \/>\n<em>For<\/em>: WHO? Okay, a new race. Given their description though, they sound much like Hunters and we already have them.<br \/>\n<em>Against<\/em>: WHO? See above. Besides, they were cut from Halo 2 for a reason. Whatever that reason is, let&#8217;s just let sleeping dogs lye.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Insurrectionists<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<em>For<\/em>: It&#8217;s about time we see the UNSC put these guys down!<br \/>\n<em>Against<\/em>: Killing your own kind? EWWW<\/p>\n<p>As far as these choices, I&#8217;d personally like to see the following back Halo:<br \/>\n&#8211;<span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\"><strong>Brutes<\/strong><\/span> I&#8217;d LOVE to see what a 343 designed Brute would look like. I miss those guys!<br \/>\n&#8211;<span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\"><strong>Drones<\/strong><\/span> Pesky yeah, but they were darn fun to shoot apart in previous games.<br \/>\n&#8211;<span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\"><strong>Engineers<\/strong><\/span> (though not as enemies) Come on, who doesn&#8217;t want Virgil back? (If you need to ask, then go play Halo 3: ODST first)<br \/>\n&#8211;<span style=\"color: #cc99ff;\"><strong>Skirmishers<\/strong><\/span> Another race I&#8217;d love to see 343 evolve. Since they are direct relations to Jackals, can you imagine a Halo 4\/343 version?<br \/>\n&#8211;<span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong>Insurrectionists<\/strong><\/span> They are on the rise again now that the Covenant war is over. Would be one heck of a direction to move into. Perhaps the Innies might have their own super soldier(s)?<\/p>\n<p><strong>-Sal<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A poll was put up in the HaloWaypoint forums about what we&#8217;d like to see in terms of new and returning enemies (ones that didn&#8217;t make the cut in Halo 4) being brought into Spartan Ops season Two.
