This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Title for Reference.

I miss having to fight the Black Elites from Halo CE on the last levels. They had incredible aim, threw plasma grenades and toke alot of damage, and also the black grunts were awsome. They made Halo CE on Legendary harder for me.

And will they say Woort Woort Woort one last time? I miss giberish Elites from Halo CE :(

So will they be back?

Discuss.

Corn, Oil, and Wine... We need more wine...

Hopefully...

Hope they'll be like the Spec Ops elites from Halo 3 (even though they won't because they only got that other armor after they left the covenant). They said wort and crazily spammed grenades too. And they kept team sticking me :S

Would be nice, would be even cooler if they came out with classes, and for the Covenant you got to be them.

-PK

Honor guard society wants elites to be in more of the halo campaign experience. Elites have their rights!

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

They should definitely be in the game. Though their rank is sourly misjudged.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Yeah, I'd like to have a challenge for once.
Took me 30 minutes to kill them in Halo CE, on normal.. And isn't their armor actually a blackish purple?

It was pitch black in Halo 1, in Halo 2, they lost their black armor, but gained purple, navy blue, and steel gray armor, Halo 3 was the one with dark purple armor I think.

Anyway, as long as they fight like they did halo 1 @ 2, I'll be happy, however I would prefer other elites to throw grenades once in a while, just not as often as the spec ops elites do.

Halo 1: Black with a purple tint to it

Halo 2: Violet Primary, Steel Secondary

Halo 3: Entirely Violet

this is how it went.

you are a good translator
Idiot can be a hard language to learn, but once you get it down, everything becomes so clear! The whole world will make sense to you.

That had to be one of the most memorable Halo moments, where after killing Keyes, the door explodes open and black-armored badass Elites come in and ruin your day.

Yeah then you see the massacre of Flood VS Covenant SpecOps, tearing each other apart, if you intervined in Legendary it was almost assured you would end up dieing, so i just watched then moped up.

what about the yellow armor elites from CE?

what was special about them?

  • 08.20.2009 10:45 AM PDT

"What's the last thing a dead backseater ever hears from his pilot?"
"Watch this!"

I hope too, that would be cool

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.

Re-live Marathon:Durandal. Get it today for 800 Microsoft points on the marketplace.

i loved those black elites. some of the developers in podcasts even mentioned how Brutes would throw grenades, when the elites wouldnt.

They've obviously been neglecting the Elites, considering the miniscule amount of armor perms in Halo 3 and the fact that theres no elites in ODST.
