Everybody remembers those Elites that were trying to catch you napping on the Pillar of Autumn right?Was anybody else sorta dissapointed that when they ran out of the cyro room they never appeared again? I know at least one time I hung around up the top for 20 minutes or so waiting for them to show up, but never happened.
Well, those Elites were just there for a bit of depth to the mission. And they did that fantastically.
Well yes. I suppose it was just me first seeing them as a kid and thinking that I had to hurry through the level once they ran through the door below, imagining that they'd be closing in from behind. Playing through the level last night just jogged my memory of that thought.
unfortunately,as proved with halo pc, as you see the elites run towards the door, it actully has turned into a black impassible loading wall
Well, not really any reason to keep any of that area in existence, since the player can't see nor enter the area.
They are just there to make the game seem a little more realistic.

For many believe, but few follow...-The Elites call me Enki 'Samudee. What do they call you?-Imperial march -The Real Community. Saving the forums one post at a time.-The Black Tower
I remember being disappointed that I wouldn't be able to fight them, but now that I look back on that, I realise how brilliantly placed they were. As mentioned above, they brought depth to the level, and it is implied that they are running off to kill unfortunate crew members elsewhere.It really goes to show how Bungie adds a sense of realism that though you may see them, you won't neccessarily be slated to do battle with every single member of the Covenant boarding party.[Edited on 02.04.2009 1:44 PM PST]
Just message me on live.
Posted by: Jimxbox94They are just there to make the game seem a little more realistic. Ya, aliens and super soldiers. Don't forget zombies!They are great, they add atmosphere telling new players to get out of there.
Oh I get that they add depth and all, just always thought it would be cool if after running out of the room they attacked you later in the level.
Well, maybe they do. Maybe they're waiting for you at the Bumblebee. XD

Yay!
So... I think they should have shot at you.
They did. The screen was in the way.

You can kill them. Just chuck some plasma grenades into the corner of the glass, where it merges with the wall. About 3-4 grenades will kill them good and proper.
Oh? Must try that sometime.
Same here. I never knew that!
