Subject: Elite appearance- needs an improvment.

right now elites look like a bunch of hunchbacked downies, in the books they stand tall and have pride and all of that stuff Bungie needs to rethink the elites and compare what they wanted them to be and what they are. they got it right in halo CE why have they got it wrong now? they should have colour coded armor like the brutes. i think thats a good start.

I wish I was still legendary.

Nice way of quite literally stealing my elite analogy and changing the word dinosaurs to downies.

They already have colour coded armour. They SHOULD stand tall. You SHOULD be able to tell a Zealot from a Minor elite by more than just armour colour - by shoulderpads, helmet spikes, behaviour whatever. They SHOULD be better.

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.

Look, its this simple:

We need the Elites that look like the Halo 2 Elites, and talk like the Halo CE elites, Woort Woort Woort!

If your race naturally has a bend in your neck like the Elites, they would be "standing tall". That doesn't necessarily mean their head is high above their chest , since they are FREAKING ALIENS.

Bungie needs to rethink the elites and compare what they wanted them to be and what they are. they got it right in halo CE why have they got it wrong now?

The only reason that the Elites have their heads higher in CE is because the game couldn't handle better graphics, including lowering the head, and the physics involved with it. When the technology advanced, so did the quality of the game and the physics allowed the head to be lowered and still work in the game.
