As for a comparison to the katana body, I say put the old honor guard pike on the back of an honor guard body.

Yes, the elite armor was small in variety but thats how it is. More people like the Chief but I have to say that there is a decent amount of people in the elite fanbase.Most of the people on my friends list are elite fans and thats about 56 people. Even though there are millions of players on halo, Elites still own. Look at how they chuck grenades! Far and low!

I love the elites but I'm still gathering their armor and I think because alot of people shoot near the Torso (I don't) an Elite would die quicker because their head is closer to it. (My Opion). And the Elites do need the honor guard body or a Katana as well or maybe something as cool.

I agree with this all. I believe that Bungie is planing more amour perms, probably including more Elite amour, [also some MC amour, I'm sure]which I think are going to be included not in the next, but possibly after the next DLC.

Trailer Park Boys ~ One of the best Canadian made comedies ever.

Elites don’t die quicker than Spartans in Halo 3.

Bungie said the Elite’s hit-boxes are the same as the Spartans themselves. I only use the Elite in multiplayer and I have never noticed that I was at a disadvantage due to my appearance.

Also, Bungie stated that it’s very unlikely they’ll have downloadable armour for sale on the XBL marketplace. Yes, more armour styles, especially for the Elites would be great, but it’s probably at the very bottom of their list to do’s for the future of Halo 3.

it is low on the list

if they made 2 helmets to rival the hyabusa and something to rival the MC katana then it wouldnt seem so common too many people have the hyabusa helm and if anybody has the katana then they would likely wear it

the elites need alot of stuff to catch up

Just be glad that they gave you at least some choices of Elite armor. Just be patient and maybe future Elite armors will come.

I just wanted to ask what happened to all The Elite armor?

I know that due to the gross popularity of the MC that characters like The Arbiter are pretty much put in the same boat as characters like Raiden from MGS 2:SOL
I love the MC as much as anybody else but i can't seem to feel like The Elites are underappreciated sometimes.
The Covenants armors have always looked amazing.
Which is why i wonder why did Halo 3 choose the Chief over The Arbiter?

More Elite love!!!
And more Elite Armors!!!!

The MC's got a Katana.... C'mon, at least give us an Energy Sword too!
And maybe people won't call me a dinasaur, or anything else intended to make me cry.

i know they have so much to do and so little time to get things done, especially in a 24 hour timeframe, just i look at the Elites and i see that their armor is pretty plain compared to what i have seen for the Spartan not to mention they have at least double the armor choice i have for my Elite
I am glad they at least put some different choices for me to play with, i love the Elites Commando armor personally its just theres noticable difference between the two. There was a majority of Elites in Halo 2 and i personally think there is less in Halo 3 due to the armor choice.
i just think i expected more with the way things started sounding and looking for Halo 3.
I'm glad they got Hardcore back and I love Forge and Theatre. I'd love more choice though.

I Have A Dream... :D

I don't see why Bungie did not give the elites more armor. Spartans have nearly twice as much armor as the elites, yet there are so many armors an elite could have.

  • 01.22.2008 6:44 PM PDT

i agree, and an energy sword would be cool

There have been many topics regarding the elites and their lack of armor. Hopefully bungie will look at them and won't let me down....again.

Are you people even thinking about what you are saying about the Energy Sword?

1. It's all ready in the game so having one on your back wouldn't be all that special.

2. When it's on your back, it wouldn't be active, it would just be the hilt. That wouldn't be very inspiring to look at.
