I'm wondering, how often do they whip out the lightstick for you guys? I've been making skull profiles and playing with odds and ends of skulls on, on Easy of course, and they've been busting them out quite a bit. Looking for what your results have been.

It has been my experience that when you piss them off melee wise, they tend to get swordhappy (all colors I think?). Whenever I can, I go for the small of the back kill, if I should miss, and keep going after them they growl, shake, shimmy and whip that thang out. It is very helpful during the IWHBYD skull try, as they are easier to pick off from a distance if you can get them swordhappy. Those are silver elites though, not blue.

Confuscious say: "A sword elite is an unhappy Elite"

Since blues are easy to kill, kinda seems unfair of the game to make it even easier on the easy setting for ya........go figure!!

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

Have you ever tried playing with every skull on that makes the game difficult? (Doesn't include the blind, envy, grunt b-day, or sputnik skull.) On legendary.

Now THAT'S hard.

I was playing it earlier and I couldnt even get past the first part of Cairo Station.
It's a bunch of silver invisible elites that are insanely hard to kill. The only way to kill them is by assassination, and they pull out swords every time you get near, so you gotta take them our fast.

And he did mean blue.. they do pull out swords sometimes.

There are blue elites with energy swords in the game. For example on one part of the level Delta Halo, if you are observant, you would find that there is in fact a blue elite with an energy sword incorporated in the game. and I think there's one other place with that glitch.

Also, if I am correct, you can give energy swords to your blue elite buddies while you're playing the Arbiter.

And of course, on the harder difficulties or with skulls on, minor (blue) elites wtih energy swords can be found.

I keep getting banned since the mods are unfunny and suck at their jobs!

Rarely found, but it is possible, Ultras are more common to be sword carriers.

Dude I like to play with all skulls on. On legendary. Talk about hard. Mythic, Assassins, Unnamed, and Angry make it bad enough. But then you have Catch and Grunt Birthday Party to get the Marines killed faster.

Easy with Mythic makes for a very odd experience. Mythic gives them 3 times the life.. statistically tested over at HIH.

I know the white Spec Ops Elites tend to have them ready to go at all times... but blue gets me. Just playing through Regret I see a few blue Elites bust them out and I can't believe it. I never saw it during gameplay until this year. Always playing on easy though... haha. I've heard you can get the Red ones to do it too, with a lot of patience and time. I was just wondering if this is common or if I messed up my xbox somehow... like I messed up Driver 2 for Gameboy Advance by beating Survival in Chicago by driving in circles in reverse. Messed up the AI when I did that. Hm..

Well, today I managed to get a few Red Elites to pull them out too. This is new to me. It's even better when I'm the Arbiter and my teammates, on Easy, the Blue Elites, have no weapon at all but look like they're holding swords with the stance of their arms. Eh, whatever.
