since I am the oldest person here, I get some bragging rights for being a 10 year member.

HOWEVER, I dont get bragging rights for remembering something that happened a year ago. And that is this: Read achronos' post .

You guys are idiots. There's no difference between a spartan and the elites, because it wouldn't be fair, why would bungie do that? and besides, if you actually had some hard evidence to prove it, I'd like to see it.

Neither of them are better than the other. I'm surprised there are so many people that still think Spartans are so much better than elites. I am an elite and I've played as them both. Their differences are so infinitely miniscule that it shouldn't even be a discussion. The game isn't based on which character you are, it's your skill.

It's still going to be the same old thing. Millions of little boys are going to keep running around with their Spartan models, dying, making stupid decisions and losing because they're not very good.

Me? I'm going to continually be pointed out by both teams, hearing "they have an Elite on their team", or "why the hell are you an elite?", then proceeding to be the best player on my team, as my dumb Spartan teammates run off and die... and proceed to lose the game for us.

Listen to unlucky17 and don't complain.

Wow, the creator of this topic must be a retard. His name is Spartan6692, yet he thinks Elites are better.

I hate to waste my time, but here's all the true facts that Spartans are better.

Although Elites are hunchbacked and it's easier to kill them from behind, their body is much larger and is easier to shoot. They "suck" up bullets unlike Spartans. Spartans also fire at a faster rate, and are more accurate.

Spartans also beat down faster than Elites (except for the Brute Shot). When an Elite has a Sword, its lunge is a shorter distance than Spartans are. It also flies off the map more than Spartans.

Got a different opinion now?

No, because there's STILL no proof that those are even close to being facts.

lthough Elites are hunchbacked and it's easier to kill them from behind, their body is much larger and is easier to shoot. They "suck" up bullets unlike Spartans. Spartans also fire at a faster rate, and are more accurate.

Umm... no? they arent? how are they more accurate? the reticles on spartans and elites are EXACTLY THE SAME. besides that, when standing still, they aim the same! how the hell are they more accurate!? like.... holy -blam!- dude. incase you didnt know, because you know, you're a washed up retard and achronos works at bunge, but the hitboxes are the same.

No, they beat down at the same rate as an elite. the only reason you are acting ike shcuh a moron is because you fail to see that ELITES AND SPARTANS HOLD THEIR GUNS DIFFERENT WAYS.

Wow. I read all the posts in this thread carefully to see if I could've been wrong. And I have respect for (at least everyone but two) everyone in this thread, but you are just so immature and childish I have no choice but to...

say SHUT UP.

I personally perfer spartans, the only reason to vote for a spartan over elite or vice versa is personal prefrence. The only real difference is how they look...

id have to say that the spartins are better because they can run faster and their armor looks better, but thats just what i think the choice is really up to you.

the spartans are better than the elites the elites die fast their jump is low....
the spartans got better armor and can look better (faster) to aim and elites got one good thing they are unseen if they use the camo and if the spartans use it you can see them easy;)

SO SPARTANS;)

SO SPARTANS;)


Today I have ran several tests consiting of Spartans vs Elites. Close range SMG, both die at same time. Long range SMG, Elite prevails. No scope headshots, spartan wins. Hitboxes=same. Jump noscope shots and stickys, Elite wins, noscopes and stickies go through the gap in the Elites legs. Also, both models fire at same rate. An oddity I found, is that both models melee at the same rate, except with the SMG, with which the Elite is much slower...

And I also did more tests.
the spartans are better than the elites the elites die fast their jump is low.
Those are both false comments.

the spartans got better armor and can look better (faster) to aim and elites got one good thing they are unseen if they use the camo and if the spartans use it you can see them easy;

Better armor? I suppose, because the Elites have no armor. Still takes same amount of bullets to kill either one. Look faster? Pshaw, that's simply a matter of look sensitivity. I have not yet tested the active camo, but I'm sure both are equally visible.

Please do not make up false comments to make it seem like your right.

SO EQUAL ;)

P.S.id have to say that the spartins are better because they can run faster and their armor looks better, but thats just what i think the choice is really up to you.
False, I had a race:) tie.

P.P.S I just remembered another test. Impossible to shoot an elite from behind when the elite is looking down, even if you jump, possible to kill a spartan like that if you jump.

ehm the jump of elite is lower than that one of spartans and the elites are big so you can see them easy and aim easy on them;)
and i played 23 times elite vs spartan and i could't see the elites but only the spartans (when they used camo)

The jumps are in fact exactly the same. You are right about the elites being easy to see due to large bodies, but if you put a spartan in the same position, you could see him just as well. But i won't argue on the Active Camo issue, for I have not tested that.

  • 05.31.2007 12:22 PM PDT

A few days ago I decided to see for myself if the rumors of spartans being better than elites were true. I played as an elite in every gametype.

I concluded they aren't at a disadvantage in anything. If elites are so easy to headshot, then I should have done worse in Team Swat, where a headshot means instant death. In reality though, I did just as well as I normally do in Team Swat.

Well, I hate to admit, but it is easier to head shot an elite than it is a spartan. The reason you didn't do any worse is because, if somebody is going to aim at your head, their gonna hit you there, they aren't going to miss by that little tiny bit.

Yes, if you scope in at the back of his head, you will see a little spike sticking up, that is what you must hit in order to head shot an elite from behind. It is extremely hard to do mid game.
