I want Halo 1 back :(

I'd have to say Elites, was it just me or did they seem smarter? Like if their shields went down they would drop back and hide until they got them back. Brutes... well, they seemed to think it was a good idea to pop off all their armor and charge at you directly with their weakest point (the top of the head). Not exactly the brightest bulb on the Covenant Christmas tree.

Here's to hoping that Halo: Reach is indeed set around the time of the Fall of Reach and the Elites are still the bad guys.

Yes elites are the -blam!-. I hope there is absolutely NO BRUTES in this game, in my opinion it made Halo a tad worse.

Proud frenchie, elite fan, anthro artist not hellbent on yiff convention/pics/whatever, mature and intelligent forum guy, 4chaner, halo 2 lover and halo 3 hater.

I have fought elites in the majority of the halo games. they're like a symbol for me, just as much as the br, grunts, mc, the rings...

also, they look 1000x more badass than gorillas and just feel better to fight... I didn't like fighting brutes. they weren't good warriors.

Yes they were dumb and they did not feel like Halo. Elites are more intelligent, look better, and they are certainly more badass.

Would anyone else agree with me in saying that getting Halo 2's IWHBYD skull was the hardest fight in all three Halo campaigns? If those Ultra's had been Brutes there's no way it would've been as hard.

Yes elites are harder to kill also because they are smart and more accurate and they take a great leadership role in the covenant.

This is why I want them back. They were challenging, smart, and fun to fight.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Brutes never participated in the invasion of Reach, that is a wellknown fact. The Spartan II's never encountered any Brutes until after the battle of Reach ended, and that was with, Operation: FIRST STRIKE.

Brutes. I like the Elites on my side. And the Brutes are more interesting, especially the Chieftans. They are basically the same as Elites, but they use Grav Hammers instead of Swords (high ranks), and you if you get rid of their shields, you don't have to worry about them coming back.

I started Starori games in 2011.

No one has the right to take the life of another.

Elites are most likely going to be our enemy...so i can make huge puddles of blue blood again! ooo the fun of doing that in Halo: CE.

But if I remember correctly their attack did not go so well and then is that when the Elites came and then started kicking ass? Correct me if I am wrong.

I would much rather fight a worthy foe as opposed to a big dumb ape. The main enemy should be intelligent, because they are responsible for the lives of many which are on their side.

Hey Paul, your in second place ;)

I'd actually like to see Brute and Elite working together. Be funny to see a few fighting and an Elite "accidentally" kill a Brute.
