or are elites primarily used by little kids and new players?

i know that some use it for fun, but i want to know if there are actual, serious high ranking competitive players that use elites.

I know someone that is a level 23 and he's an elite and another who is a 20, and myself who is an 19. We are all Elites.

Well, back in the day Bungie had a thing called Clanmatch. I'm not positive how it worked, but I will share what I know. It's like a matchmaking option that you go in with your clan, and your entire clan ranks up? I'm probably wrong on that. But it was removed because Many clans cheated, KSI being #1. That is also why nobody likes KSI if you where wondering.


Nowadays people outside of Bungie arrange their own "clanmatches" but do not receive ranks.

yeah atm i am around there and on occasion i would see elites, but im wondering if anyone from the 30's and up knows...

  • 07.12.2007 9:40 PM PDT

I have seen 3 Elites above level 25. My friends and i have decided that 25 is the cutoff point for being -blam!- enough to play as an elite

And powersquirrely, a 23 is not a high level. high level is considered 35+

I remembe that! It was so fun!

  • 07.12.2007 9:49 PM PDT

The one and only.

It wouldnt make any sense for pros to use elites since it would be unbalanced in their tournaments. Unless they werent in a tournament then i guess if they wanted to they could become a elite but i doubt it. If they were all elites it would be balanced in tournaments though but I honestly dont know.

RIP Halo 2.

If you play primarily as an Elite, you're bad. It's that simple.

Wow that is really small minded thinking.

  • 07.12.2007 10:39 PM PDT

I think that mainly little kids and new players use them because, the little kids think that aliens are awesome, and the new players probably pick elites, because it's something new.

I think we can rule that one out, because I play as an elite and usually win every game I play.. your not gonna see much by searching my xbox live account though because that was on an older account. I got this new one when I got a 360 and I barely play Halo 2 online anymore because of all the 12 year old's screaming and cursing.

Playing as an Elite is not allowed at MLG tournaments. These are the rules:

Halo 2 Rules

General Rules
1. No Grenade Jumping.
2. No getting on top of any Warlock Ledges.
3. No Super Bouncing.
4. No communication between Players during FFA Games. Taunting is permitted.
5. No hiding the flag inside walls or other structures.
6. No leaving the normal boundaries of a Map.
7. No Action Replay.
8. No placing the oddball or bomb out of reach.
9. No Guardian Suicide.

11. No looking at an opposing Team’s TV or projected screens by Players or Coaches.
12. No quitting out of a Team Slayer Game.
13. No use of the Covenant Elite Character.
14. The higher seeded Team must play as the Red team and the lower as the Blue team.
15. Quitting from a non-Team Slayer Game, before it has ended, without referee’s permission will leave your Team shorthanded or result in a Forfeit if all 4 Players quit.
16. Players who are caught giving kills to other Players during a FFA Game will be warned. Players receiving two warnings during the same Game will be disqualified.
17. Incorrectly ending a Game without referee’s permission will result in a Forfeit.
18. Players must use their registered MLG Login Name during all Games. No Team Name abbreviations are allowed.
19. No Warm-Up Games may be played outside of scheduled Warm-Up periods.
20. During scheduled Warm-Up periods the winners can stay, but the losers must get up. Teams still active in the Event have priority over open Stations during this time.
21. When Players are given the option of using Full-Screen, Teams can use 1-4 TVs.
22. Players may not raise the volume above 30 for Samsung and 50 for Phillips TVs. This rule doesn’t apply to Station 1 or Players using headphones.
23. In the case of an Xbox/TV malfunction, the Game will be restarted from the beginning unless a Team was winning a Team Ball Game by more than the time remaining in the Game.
24. Games started without the approval of a referee will be restarted.
25. If a Player/Team fails to report to their Station within 5 minutes of the announcement, they will Forfeit the Game. 10 minutes after the announcement, a Team will Forfeit their Best of 3 Game Match or the 2nd Game of their Best of 5 Game Match. 15 minutes after the announcement, a Team will Forfeit their Best of 5 Game Match.

Disqualification
1. Breaking any of Rules #1-4 will result in a Foul. Fouls stay with a Player/Team throughout the Event. Two Fouls during one Game will result in a Forfeit of the Game. Once a Player/Team reaches two Fouls, each additional Foul will result in a Forfeit of the Game.
2. Players found breaking Rule #5 will be asked to remove the flag from its hiding spot immediately. If the flag is not removed immediately the Team will Forfeit the Game.
3. Breaking any of Rules #6-15 will result in a Forfeit of the Game.
4. Any sign of cheating may result in a Forfeit of the Game and possible ejection.

my other account, if you are gonna send me an FR, send it to this account and my Main GT.

no those are the best possible rules for skillful and competitive tournaments.

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

I've seen a 30-something elite would played like a 40. This guy was insane.

  • 07.12.2007 11:51 PM PDT

You got F'd in the A!

i alternate between spartan and elite, and i haven't seen a difference between the two. some people think, however, that since the elite has a larger head, it's easier to get a headshot off of, but i haven't seen that to be true...

  • 07.12.2007 11:54 PM PDT

no

For some reason, everyone I've seen play as an Elite was either a child, or a guest.

To this date, there have only been 4 people I've personally seen use an Elite and was actually .....um......."good."

But yeah, as Rex pointed out in the rules, you can't use an Elite at an MLG event. However, I don't know of the pros' preference outside of the tournaments. Who knows, maybe Walshy plays as an Elite when he's not practicing LOL.

No they don't. The only difference in combat is that they beat down in a manner that the Chief doesn't. Actually, I don't know about the reload thing, but I know they don't run faster.
