Subject: More Defined Elite Ranks?

Okay, so with the return to before Halo CE, there is no reason for Elites to not be in the game. In fact,its probably confirmed that there will be Elites and that Elites will play the main role again.

Brilliant.

Now, in Halo 1 and Halo 2, Elites had a clear hierarchy in the form of colors. Blue < Red < White < Gold. We had the Black Spec Ops dudes who kind of fell outside this hierarchy and the Blue Colored Jetpack Dudes(Rangers)

Halo 3 defined the Spec Op Elites a bit more by giving them their own set of Armor, basically the Assault variant seen in multiplayer.

The ranks for the Brutes in halo 3 were a bit more defined as well.

I think, or rather at this point, Hope that Bungie has done more to define ranks. In fact, some of the ranks alluded to in Halo 3's Multiplayer component can already be used.

Get ready for some Star Wars references.

One of the new ranks could be Ascetics, from Halo 3's Multiplayer. They could serve as the Clone ARCs (Advance Recon Commandos) of the Halo Universe. Essentially, Solo dudes who kick some ass. Increased shields, smarter AI and always encountered alone or operates alone. It also has potential to develop more Enemy to Enemy AI behavior. The Ascetic has no regard for the lives of Fellow Covenant, sometimes including their own Elite Brothers. They will kill and remove any Covenant soldiers in their way, to get to you.

Another interesting Rank to use would be Commandos, similar to the Clone Commandos. Interesting way to use hostile Squad AI. Commandos always appear in 4. If you meet one alone, there are granted to be 3 more somewhere, covering each other's backs. Attack that one, and you're in trouble. Good tactical analysis is required to take down the Squad. Sometimes you meet the squad as a whole, and things get interesting.

Just my 2 cents worth. What do you guys think?

Thank you. While these 'classes' were already pre-defined, it was interesting thinking about how they might work but essentially, I want to know what the community thinks about more defined Elite Ranks.

Sighs... Sometimes its hard to tell if people are just ignorant or trolls... Like here. That's the internet for you.

Besides this dude, anyone else have any input?

Aren't the Ascetics a police force during a crisis?

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I agree. I would love for some more detailed Elite ranks.

However, after reading the description for the Ascetics, I always figurd that they were more of a support troop. They increased morale of Covenant troops. Maybe when they're near other Covenant, they get a health bonus, just as when an Engineer is near other Covenant they get a shield bonus?

Apparently, yes. But, I'm sure Ascetics would have been diverted for higher priority target. And it doesn't have to be Ascetics. Just a rank/role idea.

I dont think any elite on the battlefield would kill one of his own without reason.


Precisely. Its that trait that gave me the idea. It really develops the idea of the Enemy Type.

YES


Approval, I am guessing. :D

  • 10.22.2009 6:35 AM PDT

yes, more classes equals more enemie varients, so doesnt make the encounters repititive killing the same enemie over and over again. Elites classes should have some cool armours, honour guard.

  • 10.22.2009 7:08 AM PDT

Forgive your enemies but remember their names.

hmmmmm the ascetics as a one elite killing machine sounds cool and the part about him killing anyone in his way even if they are on his side sounds amazing but that sounds more like a hunter or brute thing to do.

While elites did not respect many of the other covenant people they would not kill them in combat if they were in their way and their honor demands them to not hurt their own allies and especially not their own kind i think

Well, Elites would gladly kill each other in terms of honor and like other weird stuff like that. Reading up on their culture is fascinating. They have like this weird Warrior culture thing.

And maybe Brutes or Hunters would do that, but this is deliberate. These Elite Dudes want to get to YOU and if there is another Elite that might stand in his way of getting the kill, pop, he's going down.

Very much something Brutes would do. I'd like to think Elites are different. If they kill each other it kinda makes Halo1/2/3 Elites look all different. They never wanted to kill each other.
