Subject: Elites in Multiplayer

I am just thinking of how the elites will be in MP in comparison to SP. Here are some questions:

1) WIll the elites do that side strafe duck thing they do in halo 1? Like, if your an elite in multiplayer, and crouch and side strafe, will that move take effect?

2) I think its MUCH easier to get headshots on Spartans in MP for Halo 1 than on elites in the campaign. I think their heads are smaller. In multiplayer, will this be relevant?

3) If you are an Elite in MP can u dodge vehicles by shoulder rolling out of the way and such?

Any other interesting concerns, or points, post here. There has to be more.....I am going blank once I actually started to make the post.

If Bungie added special abilites to either side, that would upset balence.

I hope to Jason Jones [7he l0rd.] that they don't do that.

An article written at IGN.com by someone who was privledged enough to play Halo 2 said there was no difference in gameplay between Spartans and Elites...however in terms of being easier targets, thats something I wonder as well

they are EXACTLY the same in skill in halo 2, there are no "special abilities" what on earth would be the buttons, they are perfectly balanced by the fact that they are IDENTICAL.....as for being easiers targets or not between the two i doubt anyone will be able to tell the difference

I knew if elites did something, the spartans would do something similar. But the easier targeet thing just seems inevitable. They're just....different. I cant really imagine them being equal difficulty to take down.

why WOULDNT they be as similar as possible to take down, that would COMPLETLY defeat the purpose of having elites vs spartans......NO ONE would want to play as the character who was easier to hit..........

It could upset a balance, but really, it would add more challenge to one side. It would be FUN. And plus, I am sure in a game mode where balance is desired, you'd switch teams every once in a while [automatically] so it does get balanced out over time.
