i was hopeing that bungie would have taken the idea of playing as an elite all the way instead of just adding in a skin in the game. i am disappointed, i feel as if there half @$$ing the idea of playing as an elite . i wanted an entire new scheme fore them why cant they jump higher than the master chief, but i think they should have something else add on to them instead of just playing under a skin . what about having them run faster, or something

it would unbalence the game, and if you read the books an elite is just about equal to master chief

It would unbalance the game! Plus a spartan and elite are equal in every aspect just about. Anyway this is a game of skill, if a spartan and an elite got in a brawl and the elite won just because he was faster or the spartan won because his shots were more accurate even with SMG. It would make the game stupid.

Thank you for pointing that out DeathscytheV2
Now ist that all the more reason fore the elite to get something added to them, just by looking at them they look like fast runners, why cant they have that atleast. what about they add in claws to the elite and allow them to climb walls

true reaction time really depends on the player but I was just reffering to the general specs of a Spartan-VS-Elite. you know...

Well if any of you have played splinter cell pt then you would know what balance is in a game and its classes. what makes you guys believe that balance cannot be done with the class that is elite, look at RTCW different classes and yet its still balanced, they have there advantages and yet there disadvantages. from the looks of it it just looks as if a squad of Spartans got bored and decided to slip into a few elite customs and run a muck.

Yeah, and there probably won't be any more "Wort Wort Wort!" in the Elites either.
(I'm talking about when you're playing as one of course)

That would be awesome if they put something like that in. Like when you elites see you, raise their arms, and roar at you (and you stick them...) That would be awesome. I don't know what a spartan would do...

Some sort of taunt thing, otherwise we'll have to stick to teabagging.

There should be a feature in multiplayer that if you are playing as an Elite you could press in one of the thumbsticks and you'd go Wort Wort Wort. That'd be all I would do. Just press it over and over again

Im agreeing that abiltys would just plain ruin multiplayer and cyber this isnt splinter cell..that game requires thinking this doesnt really :). Plus it does say that a Spartan and an Elite are pretty much equal in everyway and You can really play as an elite. Pretty much they might add little tweaks to the factors applying to each charecter. And I mean little this sint Everquest here where you get little spells and crap. Also are the Elites goign to use the Covenant Carbine in Single Player?
