we r?

Since we will have elites in multiplayer, will they be able to flip vehicles over? Will they be able to sprint for a little bit as well, or is it only for SPARTANS? Will they be able to roll around to dodge plasma grenades, or not? Also, will their shields respawn as well as MC's? I know they can pick up health packs.

They do play in every way like the spartans. On IGN's E3 coverage website, the IGN guys were playing as Elites, and they said they had to keep looking at each other just to make sure they were still Elites.

It was confirmed in this years E3 that the elites are only cosmetically diferent from the spartans. They can don everything the spartans can and the spartans can do everything the elites can.

they have arms they can flip vehichles. No they shouldn't be different because they everyone would be fighting over who was who. And don't tell me they can't flip vehicles because they aren't strong enough. It is multiplayer,there is no story anything goes. They could have cortana in thier if they wanted to because the fact that she is an AI wouldn't matter because it is multiplayer.

Sorry but Elites are equally strong to Spartans so by all rights they should be able to.
And the truth is they can, the Red Elite in the e3 2004 flips the warthog and ghost.

just because its MP doesnt mean they have to stray to far from the plot. i admit i like elites flipping vehicles in MP, but they should have like a dodge or a roar feature.

It is said in the books and other sources that the elite are just a little stronger than the spartans, so they can just as easily flip vehicles

I think that the spartans and elites in multiplayer should have different specialties, but remain balenced

Advantages for Spartans:can have better control of human vehicles, higher human weapon accuarcy, and faster reload times.
Advantages for Elites:better control of covenant vehicles, higher covenant weapon accuarcy, and have slightly more accurate energy sword attacks and do more damage with melee attacks.

(This is balenced out because the elites would not be able to drive the warthog and scorpion tanks as well and those vehicles dominate Halo multiplayer and will be hard to destroy.)

Unfortuantely the Covenant can use human stuff. Which sucks ass. I am hoping for a special mode or two where there are differences in the way the Spartans and Elites behave in MP.

I don't think there should be any advantages. I like just the cosmetic difference. It'd be realistic if Elites had better control of covenant vehicles and all that but then again remember human stuff is "primitive to them" and to operate a scorpion all you need is a foot and opposable thumbs. So I think there should be no advantages. I like it how Spartans and Elites are the same.


It'd be sorta nice if I could Wort Wort Wort, though :\

Why should they be any different? I mean, there almost exactly the same in every way, strength, agaility, intelligence. Besides, im pretty sure bungie wouldent want to confuse players by having combos or something to do a movement. Like, "press A and duck the seconed you are about to be hit to roll ," I think they would become to complicated in the end.

Yeah, I'd prefer them to stay the same(in abilites). I don't want to become a lousy player just because I'm playing as an Elite and he can't drive the Warthog well or something.

Like I said, by default they are pretty much the same. But have a special mode that changes all of that.
