Subject: I hope there aren't any Spartans in Reach

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

Okay, we had our chance to defend our honor, and we actually came up with good reasons they should not be removed. Please discuss this completely opposite situation. What if Bungie were planning to remove SPARTANS, and no, no ODSTs in it either, ONLY ELITES. What would you all say?

Come on, don't be shy.

Why should SPARTANS be removed? Well, I think they should be removed because in Halo 2 they had smaller hitboxes than Elites, and you never saw Elites in Matchmaking.

In Halo 3 they got all the permutations, which was not fair, and I think Elites should get a fair shot at MLG.

Can't wait for all the Elite haters. This will be some great entertainment.

Amazing game, leading an army of aliens to destroy the world.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

The game probably wont sell seeing as the Spartan model has been the main model used for multiplayer since Halo:CE. I guess we should also have to wait to know who the main character is. If we are a Spartan (which all hints point in that direction) it wouldn't be too smart of them, not to have a Spartan in multiplayer.

No Group Invites.
Worst idea ever...http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8664824

I personally think Elites are ugly as hell.

It's on a lot of community maps. Affinity, Think Twice, Abridged...

I meant good maps

The only reason I don't like elites is because people like you come here and post things like"We Shangheili shall defend our honor!" You are not an elite. Shut up.

Oh, sure, pimp-slap the timeline for the sake of multiplayer. Though this does beg the question, why are you even humoring them with this thread? You're just giving them more ammo, and turning yourself into the bad guy.

There WILL be Spartans in Reach. Take all the time you need to absorb that.

((See what I did there?))

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

What would I say? what the |=uck, that's what I'd say.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

Its a trap!!!

I am sure it could make for a great story. Especially if this Elite reacted with different emotions then the Arbiter did when finding out his little cove world was full of lies...


Elites are cool especialy the ones from Halo CE. I loved the wort worts and their unique sounding tounge even though they took the voice of johnson and worked some sound editing.

But Spartans such as MC...pwned all the Elites on that ring world. They were my favorite enemy but despite the physical and armor simularities chief was a much better fighter then them and was able to overcome them all

to me its

1. Spartans
2. Elites
3. ODST
4. Brutes

As much as I like them they will always take a backseat to spartans. lol if only a firefight gametype could handle 300 spartans vs 300,000 Elites

Another thing I hate about Elites are their design into matchmaking. Elites are taller then spartans but to make the game fare they make them hunchbacks of notredame. Honestly when I play vs Elites in MM its hard for me to take them seriously.

Also their design gives them a disadvantage due to their increased bulkiness from halo 2. They are much easier to BR (in non swat games) Shotgun, body shoot with the sniper then spartans.

Its annoying to me that I can't see the back of their head unless I am elevated to a certain angle. Although I have sniped them in the back of the head sometimes on the same level...I don't know maybe its a little unfair or maybe its just an illusion and the hitbox ignores the Elites back so you can headshot them.

I think its funny when people think Elites will give them an advantage in Snipers since I seem to have no problem sniping them in the head and even easeir time in sniping their bodies scoped or not scoped

Join the Spartan 1 Project, those 2nd versions of us are just copies, we are the real masterminds, join us and together we should rule the "gaming" world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Muhahahahahhahahahahaaaa

No one cares about elites, there aliens of the illegal variety, in which means they have no rights.

Also I hate elites b/c it is almost impossible to snipe them in the back.

Okay so you're whole impossible to snipe them in the back thing makes no sense. There is no difference at all. I have tested it and it isn't true. Also, its not impossible considering you can shoot them in the back twice and even though you don't think so you can shoot them in the head when you don't suck unlike you.You just complain so they will change it so you can say you think your good because you get head shots. So either get better or stop sniping.

  • 11.05.2009 7:03 PM PDT

I'm not saying any one is right or wrong but I think elites and spartans are pretty equal. I do agree though that it is difficult when an elites back is facing you to shoot him in the head. So, why can't everyone get along and enjoy the game for what it is. And also almost every time Master Chief encountered an elite in the halo books he was always in a tough spot and had to be saved by someone else or MC's streak of luck. So, in short halo math Elites=Spartans

Who wants to play as a salamander?

  • 11.05.2009 7:35 PM PDT

I don't think an all elite campaign would be a good idea. I think it should have a campaign similar to halo 2's. With a human and covenant campaign. Plus, how in the heck can they remove spartans from Reach? They were a massive part of the story.

  • 11.05.2009 7:42 PM PDT

I'm afraid to tell you this, but the spartans are in the trailer and they are most certainly in the game from what I've seen floating around the net.

  • 11.05.2009 7:52 PM PDT

Hmmm, I don't know what to say...

Wow, just wow. You obviously aren't a good fan of the series, considering that you just said spartans suck, and the game is based off the BOOK, Halo: The Fall of Reach, and you play as SPARTANS.

  • 11.05.2009 8:40 PM PDT

i bet everyone in this forum thread would at least rent the game let a lone buy it

  • 11.05.2009 8:40 PM PDT

Reach is about Spartans. It's the key point of when they're almost completely wiped out. It would be stupid not to have them in Reach. Plus, elites suck now. I wish they were like the good ol' H2 Days.

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

Because Halo revolves around Master Chief. Now it'll revolve around 4 other Spartans.

  • 11.05.2009 8:48 PM PDT

I wish I was still legendary.

Someone's going to be unhappy when they finally watch the trailers.
