When you attack marines and they start killin u, why do they kill you so quickly?

elites have shields to and it takes the marines a long time to kill elites without nades, and the marines go full auto on your ass. why is that

If you shoot captain keyes in the bridge during the begging lvl they'll wipe you out very fast and you cant kill them. They also lock down the bridge until they get you.

But in any other situation they seem tofire normal at me.. I only play legendary so maybe you've jumped from 1 difficulty to another and now they're doing more dmg to you.

think about it. if the marines were that good against the covenant u as masterchief would not hve a job to do. u could just kick back and relax and let the marines have all the fun. i am sure bungie programmed it that way

The shield technology was stolen off the covies, but they have better ones because they invented it. On paper elites are better than Master Chief in every single way, but the covies are too arrogant. A jackal would rather fight hand to hand than pick up an assualt rifle, they are not resourceful enough. Elites may have perfect aim, greater fire-power, more shields and more health, but is even a gold or black elite on legendary a match for a vet with a nice choice of guns? 9 times out of 10 the answer is no. That is because of tactics. You can snipe while they are out of range, you can contact-shoot wih shotgun, you can 2 hit with a plasma pistol - pistol combo, you can stick a plasma, you can strafing run a whole charge of plasma rifle onto one and hide while it recharges (covies very rarely hide), there are a whole number of ways to kill them.

Anyway, 95% of that was off topic, so to summarise: elites have more health than you
