Are you one of the many people who have nothing to fear in the current Elites? I know I am.

Do you want their backs to be straightend out so they don't look as dumb on the battlefield? I do.

Do you hate how they were changed so much in look through the course of the trilogy? I completely do.

What do you guys have to say about making the Elites look proud and intelligent, not hunched up and idiotic.

If Bungie makes the Elites just as they were the past two games (Halo 2 and Halo 3) excluding Halo 3: ODST because there were no live Elites in it then I will be dissapointed with them extremely.

Elites are going to be the most seen foe in Reach so make them an ememy that won't go down through the generations as the smiley dinos of the Covenant, but as the fearsome warriors of the Covenant.

War never decides who is right; only who is left.

Not all aliens are built the same way as humans. Maybe elites just evolved with a more curved spine.

No elites in multiplayer!

If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Back in Halo:CE they weren't as hunched.

As for why are the Elites hunched? Seems that they used the same multiplayer models for the campain and such. Since they had to make things somewhat balanced, instead of having the elites stand 8ft tall they made them hunched.

That's not the problem. You could look fearsome with a curved back, but the Elites just look silly with it. He wants the Elites to look more fearsome, and fixing their spines to the way they were before is the easiest way to do it.

Over the course of one year? In Halo C.E. they had nice straight backs but in Halo 3 they were all hunched.

Halo 1 = posture win. but then theyll have to hunched down again to be fair in MP...

  • 10.10.2009 5:33 PM PDT

I'm guessing the OP has never played Halo 2's campaign, cause on Legendary when you came across a Spec Ops Eilte, scary as he is right now, get his shields down, he'll whip out his Energy Sword and come hurdling toward you with a Battle cry.

  • 10.10.2009 5:37 PM PDT

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

Straight up like in Combat Evolved in Campaign and slightly hunched in multiplayer.

Four options for multiplayer-

1. Have no Elites in multiplayer which would be a huge step back in Halo, so not the best idea

2. Yes, give the Elites a hunchback

3.Just scale them down to 7 feet

4. Keep them the height they are in Campaign, it doesn't really matter if it doesn't affect gameplay

I have played Halo 2 Campaign and beaten it on Legendary, in fact I played it this afternoon, but I have never seen this happen.

That's funny, cause, I just played Ouskirts right now on Legendary, I came across two Spec-Ops Elites, one Whipped out his Sword, the other just got Stuck.

  • 10.10.2009 5:46 PM PDT

they should stand taller in campaign but remained hunched in multiplayer. if they were tall in multi player they would be a bigger target than the spartans. but maybe that would equal out the fact that elites are harder to headshot?

Cool, I wish they would do this when their shields were taken down in Halo 3 by the Brutes. It could put a little B.A. on it.
