It's actually the other way around. They admitted that the elites have hit detection problems. It's in HALO 3 that they're using the same hitboxes.

Could you show me where they admitted that?
Or a direct quotation saying that there was an disadvantage?

i wouldnt call it odd. but it is slower to beat down once b n then again if that makes sense?(if u press a B twice i mean)... but give an elite a brute shot n he'll out mallee u anytime.... u cant out BXR them either. they do that exactly the same too. i've tried but i dont use glitchs

and it dont matter if they are bigger coz they have the same size hit box for there body, same as there head. it dont matter if u hit the edges of them coz it dont count as a hit coz they have the same hit boxes....

elites n spartans are the smae modal with a differnt skin. they both have the smae headshot n bodyshot boxes.
they have other difference but they are based on the same modal... y do i keep repeatin mysely? obviously no1's gonna listen until they get handed there @ss on a plate by an elite...

1v1 against an elite anyone. i'll take on all spartans, and with ur host so u cant b^tch about me having host. i'll even wear my pretty pink dress so you's can all see me proberly... i'll play to ur rules

Because they're disadvantaged. They're easier to shoot and easier to see. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't play competitively enough to notice the difference, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

See this.

um in ur own lil presentaion u urself said(if u actually made that)that there are disadvantages for both models but they even out when u weight them all to gether. so once again how can u just write an elite is disadvantaged when a spartan is also...

i havent came in here tryin to claim elites are better than spartans(i might of said it but i didnt actually mean they are) all ive done is tried to inform anyone that reads this that there is pros n cons between the2 models n all all elites aint just n00bs like everyone thinks....

once again i'll happily 1v1 any spartan just to prove my points that spartans aint n00bs, its just the mijority of ppl that play them are 8 yr olds n think they look cool as an alian(well they do look cool, but there not good at halo) so that is where the eites are n00bs comes from. its not the truth

I think he was erring on the side of caution by calling you a kid. You're acting terribly immature -- I would certainly hope that you're a twelve-year-old.

A) Yes, I made it a long time ago.
B) HA! No, they certainly DO NOT weigh out. I never once hinted at this. In all, the Elites are incredibly disadvantaged compared to Spartans.
C) No, not everyone who plays as an Elite is a bad player. Just most of them.
D) We really don't care for your challenges; if you have no points to logically support your position, why do you find it necessary to challenge anyone?
E) No, the "elites are noobs" sentiment stems from the fact that players inexperienced enough not to recognize that the model is handicapped are the ones who use them. This includes young kids, but it isn't limited to them.

^Except for the little thing about the Elite's head sticking out farther so the Spartan would have the sword advantage over an Elite?

Shut up, both of you.

So you'd use the sword excuse
If you hadn't notice there are 3 beat down statistics
Standing - Does a little bit of damage
Running - Does more damage (Two of these can kill)
Aerial - Does the most damage
Now when a spartan lunges with a sword at an Elite & they both Jump
just press the B button, even though the Spartan lunged at you he would die first
due to the fact that if were to use the simple melee it connect first before the Initial slice.
Learn more about Halo 2...
Learn more about Halo 2? Lawl. Since what you said makes no sense, I'll clarify. A Spartan and Elite fight. The Elite's head sticks out more, so the Spartan will have the advantage. BTW, a lunge with the sword doesn't do "a little bit of damage". You're an idiot. STFU and learn what you're talking about.

i will challenge any spartan because i'm sick of everyone saying that elites are n00bs...
i'm not saying i will win every game or nufin, i just want to simply prove(n its the only way how to prove it may i add) that we(the ppl that play as elites) are not all n00bs. n i'm pretty sure if any other elite player read this they too would want in on proving that we are all not n00bs...

havent u thought mayb we like the surprise tactic? you's all think that were n00bs anyway so we do have the advantage there, coz you's just think were a push over but most of us aint. and what happens when we win? you's take notice(or u just accuse us of cheating as they do in MM)...

We know you're not ALL noobs. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. There's no reason to get yourself riled up over such a comment.

However, the vast, vast majority of you may not be complete noobs, but you're not competitive either. Whoever says Elites all suck on these forums, at this time when the game's dead compared to before, is likely from a highly competitive arena and is likely to hand your ass to you. Yes, most of you are pushovers. No one was directly attacking you yourself.

No, we wouldn't take notice. You'd be an unusual exception.

By being an Elite, you are essentially playing with a handicap. If you beat someone, it was because you were better than him (ignoring host, etc.).

i wasn't takin any of what anyone said personally, i never take anything that is said in this forum personaly. all i was doing was tryin to defend the minority of elite player that are actually good.

as for a handicap, it could also b said that ppl that play as a spartan have a handicap...( iknow u wont agree with that but it is true, both have advantages n dis advantages)

as for host ha, i never get host coz i live outside of us(way outside of the us) so if i ever did then you's would all complain that i'm cheating coz you's live so far from me(that is the only dis advantage i have, playin agaisnt ppl from the other side of the world).... have u ever noticed when some1 outside of the us gets host then you's all start complaining that ur laggin? well try living outside when u very rarely get it. it would make u an even better player...

i'm not pointing this directly at u, its too anyone
