Estne volumen in toga an solum tibi libet me videre?

Nothing suits me like a suit.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

for mp they should have been. How could you not see a size difference that would make online play harder for elites

YEP- IM A SNIPER AND PROUD OF IT!

well, the difference in size is not really that huge, (at least not enough to effect gameplay) so i really don't think the game is harder for elites. sure, there heads MAY be more likely to be shown when hiding behind something, and sure, they MAY be bigger targets to snipers, but not enough to make a difference in winning a game or not. and HOW may i ask that you say bungie RUSHED this game? they spent months and months of time working on it, trying to make it best as possible fixing glitches and stuff, and you COMPLAIN about an elite being just a little bit biiger than a spartan. really dude, its not a big difference.

did you ever hear of an auto-cocker?
...Thats what she said.

Thats why no one uses the Elites.

In fact, the only people i see that actually USE the Elite are usually 6 to 7 year old kids.

Bungie has said MANY times that the hitboxes for the elites and the spartans are the EXACT same. I know it seems like the elites are easier to get headshots on, but I don't notice them being any bigger at all. I don't know what your talking about so if you think there is a size difference, play as a spartan and quit complaining...that's what everyone else does

go do a custom and have a elite and spartan stand right next to each other. You can see the size difference very easily

This is a reply from a kid who has no idea what he's talking about.

Why are you still complaining about this?? Bungie has stated MANY MANY MANY times to people just like you that the characters THEY created have the same hitboxes. If you want to comlain because it "looks like" the elite is bigger, I'd suggest you go talk to the people that created the game and get told by them EXACTLY what I'm telling you now

They are over 8 feet tall, True, but since they hunch over while they fight, they actually appear a few inches shorter.

the elites heads are equal to the spartans in there own way for example. if u try to snipe an elite in the head from exactly behind him its next to impossible but with the spartans its a breeze to get head shots from behind. and the elites head stick out from the bodys making the an easy target for side shots.

So what if they are different sizes, be a spartan and stop complaning

It is hell being an elite for snipers and trust me I know I am an elite 90%
the reason why im an a elite is because they look awesome and because its original too be an elite with so many spartans.

Its tragic, really...to see a world you love sink away in an instant that has occurred long before your time..or its own.

i play as an elite...and i do fine. the only games i really lose are when my team continues to comit suicide/kill me because i am playing as an elite... im not concerned about the difference in size. they look cooler

just recently i switched my profile's model to an elite. and there is no real difference. i still play pretty well.

think about it. when you start getting shot at by a battle rifle, or a dual wieldable combo, there's not much you can do anyways, regardless of the model. the only advantage i see with the spartan model is that it's more difficult to get a sniping headshot on, but whose to stop someone from getting two easy bodyshots, on a spartan or an elite...

Yep, its just too much fuzz about next to nothing thing. If player is really good he will easily kill all spartans without getting killed. I dont whine whetever i play Spartan or Elite, maybe size is one reason why people hate Arbiter?

Greatest of all time

this has been discussed many times. use the search function. elites have the same hit boxes as Spartans.
