After reading the news story (the one with the maskless Grunt) it was mentioned that there will be new variants of old favourites. As a big Elite fan the idea of new Elites began to cross my mind. Maybe they will have the Imperial Elites that guard the Prophets? the best of the best who are mentioned at the end of First Strike. They would be cool to fight.
Then i saw this

how about the Grunt with no rebreather? Or the Elites with the unusual uniforms?

What new uniforms? have they let a secret slip too early? As i have seen no new uniform type. new colours yes and maybe this is what they mean, but it may be new armour entirely making this type of Elite even more deadly. Has anyone seen a screenshot of this new armour? or is this a pre-revealed secret as such?
Personally I would love to see the Imperial Elite rank.

Yes if we can see prophets (even if its limited to cutscenes) surely we will see these imperial elites nearby? Nicely spotted Zamamee ;)

Maybe we will see the elites without armor (bet there ugly ba**ards too)
I think we are going to see alot more of covie society if we do go to a or the homeworld, get to see them in different guises

Perhaps MC sneaks up on some unarmored Elites? that would be very interesting, they must look much more slender than they do with armor(just imagine it). Or how about a HEAVILY armored Riot-Elite I mean thick plates, rivaling that of a Hunter.

I dont think they would limit the prophets to just cutscenes, you would want to fight them so i think bungie will pu them in..
I have had a thought though, everything, the books, websites, etc keep on going on about their telepathic/telekintec (spelling?) ability... i dont think this would fit right in the halo universe... i reckon they use forrunner technology to make all the other covie races think they are good... i think they are going to be like the egyptian pharoes... (spelling again ;) ) they want to be like their gods, and all the people almost believe they are...

Telekinetic*

Anyway, I'm pretty sure they are limited to actual cutscenes or at least an in-game cutscene like the start of PoA when the elites invade the cryochamber.

I doubt they will have telekinetic powers though maybe a gravity weapon like half-life perhaps in an odd-chance or they order their guards to vanquish you.

Oh yeah lol. But he was talking about imperial elites and they guard the prophets so maybe the prophet can command the imperial elites to fight you or something. What kind of armour would they wear?

Elites or prophets...?

Elites i dont know... i presuming that it would have to be better than just standard run of the mill... I am really confused with the spec op elites having white armor... not really spec ops kind of wear, but heh they are aliens...

I think prophets, if we do fight or see them will just have shielding... not seen any in game or renders of prophets though (interesting)

I see imperial Elites with more ornate armour. Cloaks, kick ass energy shields and staffs that have a bulit in energy blade but can also shoot plasma.

If spec ops elites are the ones in white armour now (which i seriously doubt and above all prey isn't) what rank are the black ones from the e3 demo 2003?

I wouldn't go so far as ornate...
Remember the elites are still the military... they follow the covie religion but I think all the cloaks and freaky head gear should be left upto the prophets...

It was mentoned it a magazine, but i hope its wrong as black are better suited as spec ops. maybe white is another kind of special ops? either that or the magazine got it wrong as bungie hasn't confirmed anything on the matter
as a little note what would you prefer as the spec ops colour? black or white?

New uniforms, hhmmm; interesting. On the Spec Ops Elite, does the sword look a little different colour-wise, or is that it when it is switched off? There's also a couple of things which I hope to see aswell, which I think are now in the game. They include:

* Grunts relaxing/ sleeping in their tents (in the book,F.O.R.)with masks off.
* Elites using personal Jet-packs (in the book, F.O.R.)to board ships/ fight in space etc.
* Other Spartans (Linda, Fred, Will and Kelly) PS if none of the others, please let us atleast see Linda's long, red hair!!! *drools* j/k And finally,
* Bots in multiplayer (with the option to switch them on/ off obviously)

Even without all these things, wouldn't make a difference to me anyway.

I think white is more of a spec op. I think it would look really cool if the elites can active camafluage when they want so you see a white elite in the distance and then he cloaks himself..But thats just me.

Oh that topic about the imperial elites if we do fight them I think that they should Not apear on radar.
