I have no idea if this has been brought up before. I think that one thing that people can agree with is that Elites need to be much more intimidating than they were in Halo 2 & 3. I honestly can't take them seriously. An Elite in multiplayer actually sent me laughing in tears once because of the Death Cry one of them made when it got Sniped in the face.

But enough of that, the bottom line is: Elites need to be more intimidating. These are supposed to be the most badass antagonists in the Haloverse.

So I basically did a Google Images Search for Halo Wars Arbiter Concept Art, and eventually found this picture from this blog (They also did concept art for a Covenant Destroyer here).

Holy. Freaking. Crap.

I mean seriously, talk about complete opposites to the designs that Bungie use. Could you imagine that guy charging you with an Energy Sword or something? That whole suit of armour has badass written all over it.

Seriously. A lot of people question Halo Wars because of its gameplay, but if there's one thing that Ensemble succeeded in, it's getting the Elites to look like fierce warriors. I'd love it if Bungie took some of this on board for Halo Reach, and maybe integrate aspects of this armour in to the designs for Elites in Reach.

Even if i'm playing on easy if that thing charges at me i'm gonna freak out and run away screaming! Thats some pretty awesome concept art =)

My thoughts exactly.

It would be so awesome if it had an active camouflage generator as well. I'd crap myself if I saw that thing suddenly appear right in front of me. I'd be running backwards and firing full auto to say the least.

I think I'd have to invest heavily in crying towels before attempting the level that made me fight that. He looks like awesome on steroids. Too bad Ensemble had to cut that style :/

Curse you, canon!

That beast wouldn't need a sword, look at those blades on the armour!!!

Elite assassin or what?

Yeah. I'm back. Whatcha gonna do about it?

I like the Halo 2 Elites best, tall and slim.. able to be agile and quick thinkers.

The big ferocious warriors are supposed to be the Brutes.

End of story.


The destroyer, however, looks epic.

Tackle attack is the same as the sword in his case, I'd say. Might want to keep a Rocket Launcher handy :S

I really can't stop obsessing over this concept art. It's pretty much perfect as far as i'm concerned. The helmet is badass. The cape is badass. Everything about it is badass.

In fact, the only thing that could make it more badass is if it had spatters of human blood over it. Just stains of red soaked on to it so you know that this guy has killed a lot of people.

Looks like the Halo version of Gears 2's Skorge.

I want a dude like that with that same weapon to appear in Reach now. I don't give a -blam!- anymore. Delay it if you have to Bungie. That dude MUST BE IN!
