I like them, but as I remember Elites will not use Jackal Sheilds because they are unhonorable.
Well, im sure they still favor their lives more, and will use it as a last resort.
Thanks!
That ending wasn't even canon, it was a joke. Besides there are many reports that an elite would rather die than pick up a fully loaded Human weapon by their feet and that Elites would rather commit suicide if captured by the enemy.
Not so, Elites have been known to die rather than pick up a fully loaded human assault rifle to defend themselves. They consider honour to take precedence over life.The majority do... but remember that Elite who was fighting over a marine over his assault rifle in the ending of Halo 1 (wasn't Johnson in the canon, it was another marine, they re-used Johnson's skin like they do with all marines).
I think it would be okay if it were a rarity, to show that most Elites will fight to the death honorably, but a small minority of them could employ dishonorable/wise battle tactics by picking up Jackal shields, etc.
