Elites are only harder to headshot from the front. When they are running at a right angle to you, the long neck and head is so much easier to shoot than Spartans.
Plus, if Elites are not fair, Brutes would not even be in the same league. Without Energy shields the Halo concept is lost: Shoot, kill, hide while your shield recharges. Brutes at the moment are incredibly tough without energy shields, so imagine them with.
They just need to add the energy shields, and make the health the same. They CAN do that you know, it is EASY to do that.
They could make a grunt like that, a player model is just a skin, it has nothing to do with "Melee Power" or any of that unless bungie SPECIFICALLY CHANGES THE STATS ATTACHED TO THE SKIN.
Which they won't do.
Ah, but what you have said (underlined) will break the system already in place. Elites are weak without their shields in campaign, but daunting with. Plus on Normal Mode, you can 4 shot them with a BR, which follows it in campaign. If you do as you said, you just ignore everything the campaign describes, and by doing so, you completely destroy the point of SP integration into MP.
If you fought against Spartans on Normal in the campaign, they would be as tough as they are in Multiplayer. The same is true with Elites. However, Brutes do not fit this mould. You would have to add things instead of just copying from Campaign into Multiplayer.
Except not, because the stats arent attached to the brute skin, they are attached to the AI. If the skin was put on a player, the stats would be the SAME AS A SPARTAN, but the Spartan would LOOK LIKE A BRUTE. It would seriously be THAT easy. Just model in some First Person animations. Make a shield flickering effect, and Fix up the Hitboxis a little. BOOM instant playable Brute.
Support for the argument:
- Brutes already have shields anyway - it's just that they break-off when they reach zero.
- It HAS been seen (in Halo 3) that Brutes can use Battle RIfles, Machine Gun Turrets, Fragmentation Grenades and Warthogs.
- They already have armour that can be different coloured (check Halo 3 campaign if you don't know that already....)
- 3 is better than 2, and just because they are considered "stupid", they are equals of Spartans/Elites.
