I personally think spartan because i've tried both for long periods and found i get (and can hit) elites way easier, and especially for sniping find ithe easier to kill. But i'm an Elite purely because i think they look so awesome.

Ok let me know what you think. Is the elite not the best choice because he is a bigger target to hit? Or does he have an advantage because he has elite mojo juice?

the guy above me has a point, the elites head does stick out alot, thus making them easier sniping targets. But im sure there's a blanced disadvantage for the spatans as well.

You can wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only advantage to an elite is you can't snipe them in the back of the head because they are hunched over other than that they are by far easier to kill

I agree for the same reasons above. But elites do look much cooler especially with covenant weapons like the sword.

i think spartan cuz elite has a bigger head to snipe and shoot and is wider and easier to stick

Like others have said, the elite is easier to snipe. I had heard (but not tested) that the elite melees with the plasma rifle much quicker than the spartan. If true, it still isn't balanced, unless elites melee a little faster with all weapons.

elites are easier to kill. Not just because of their heads but also cause their armor is a lil bit weaker.

^ No they are the same.

But u ever get paired up with an elite in MM before? They feel so weird to try and shoot at from how they jump.

No. They are a slightly larger target and their head is significantly bigger, allowing for easier snipes and BRs. It's easy to four shot an elite off host, on a spartan you do that off of luck.

No.
Elites don't have weaker armor, that's a stupid thing to even think.

Completely agree. The only real difference is that elites look bad ass!

Whenever I dual-SMG an enemy Elite on MP, they always seem to die very fast. One pro the Elites have is they generally melee faster... well, at least with the Brute Shot.

thats bullsh1t the armour is the same why would bungie make it different and for everyone who said they are easier to snipe if you try to snipe them from the back it is next to impossible...

Elites are weaker. They are easier to headshot. In higher levels, the game is all about headshotting with the Battle Rifle, and the SR. Especially because if you miss the head, you make contact with the body, draining their shields. With a Spartan, if you miss the head, you just miss, and you don't drain their shields.

This argument that the Elites have an advantage because you cant Headshot them from the back is nonsense. You can hardly do that to a Spartan either, and your probably gonna need two shots to get the kill. Eliites are bigger target and have, as someone here said, "Big ol'watermelon heads".

advantage = SPARTANS!!!!!

I hope that for Halo 3 theres different classes with different advantages though.

According to Bungie, neither.

  • 05.09.2007 7:37 AM PDT

Elites look -blam!- and are usually coupled with a person that has yet to pass age 15.

However i do have an account MasterChief218 which i strictly play as the Covenant, just to see what people will say, and someone did tell me i was a stupid elite and therefore i went 17-3 with a 14 spree and killed that guy like 9 times.

  • 05.09.2007 7:44 AM PDT

It's funny because I don't play anymore.

i find, since im an elite, harder for me do die from behind. i get head-shot and BR'd a tad easier from head-on, but if im running away, i usually get away, since mah large back protects mah head.

but, i snipe both just as easy.

Elites ALL DAYY!!
