===[[Campaign]]===
===Campaign===
''Halo 2'' opens with Thel 'Vadam, an elite [[Supreme Commander]], on trial following events of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. He is being prosecuted for the [[Battle of Installation 04|destruction of]] [[Installation 04]] at the hands of the Master Chief. Thel is stripped of his rank and branded with a [[Mark of Shame]], after which he is not seen again until his first playable appearance in the mission [[The Arbiter]]. Arbiter has access to all of the same mechanics players would expect when controlling [[Master Chief (gameplay)|Master Chief]]. However, rather than having a [[flashlight]] integrated into his [[arbiter body armor|armor]] the Arbiter can instead activate a limited duration [[active camouflage]] that will recharge after depleting. The Arbiter is playable for 6 of the 14 playable singleplayer missions. Aside from the narrative differences that come from playing as an elite Arbiter is also accompanied by covenant npc allies on many of his missions.

===Campaign===
===Campaign===
After the events of ''Halo 2'' the Arbiter along with other elites have formed an alliance with humanity. He is present from the first mission and accompanies the Master Chief as an [[non-playable character]] ally throughout the campaign. Arbiter no longer has levels dedicated to him being the primary playable protagonist, instead every single mission can have a second player assume control of the Arbiter during cooperative play. During these co-op missions the [[Arbiter (NPC)|npc version]] of Arbiter will be fully replaced by the second player, along with all associated dialogue and scripted interactions not occurring.
