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

I think the original poster is trying to make point.

He's saying that everyone would throw a fit if Spartans were removed from multiplayer, so why should the Elites be removed, especially if there is a large portion of the community that would like to play as an Elite.

The fact that it's impossible to remove Spartans from Reach's multiplayer is beside the point. The point of the post is to get people to see the other side of the coin.

You wouldn't like it if your character was removed, why remove mine?: That's the argument.

I wouldn't take the post literally.

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.

I love your eye for detail. Anyway, this post was part-that, part-reply to this thread.

Considering the OP got blacklisted, I think I won the war :)


And anyway, he speaks the truth, I don't literally mean Spartans should not be in Reach, according to the plot behind the books, and story of Reach, that would be inconceivable. But what if Elites got their own game?


Halo: Sangheilios

After the Covenant/Unsc war the struggle between what remains of the Covenant species, and the Elites, continues. The Sangheili fleet carrying the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam, and SpecOps Commander Rtas 'Vadum returns to their home system of Urs, only to find that Covenant Loyalists have landed on their home planet Sangheilios.

It would probably be an AWESOME game, the Spartans are gone, Master Chief lost in space. All that remain to fight the remaining Brutes and Prophets are the Elites.

Elites suck.

Enough said
Even though theyre technically a lot better than humans...?

  • 11.06.2009 8:38 AM PDT

Sorry bro. I believe it has been confirmed that the main characters are Spartans.

I would never like to see Spartans removed, they are too much of an icon in the Halo universe.

EQUAL to Spartans. The only time yet this hasn't been proven true was in Halo Wars, which I'm pretty sure the general Consensus is WAS WRONG.

Which is why Halo 3 ODST was about Spartans right? Well, there were Spartans IN IT right? No? Your point, sir, is invalid.

ODST worked because just like the Elites, ODSTs are as much a part of the Halo universe as Spartans, the UNSC, the Forerunner, or the Flood. It would work.

I would be slightly amused if I would see an 12-year old Spartan fanboy/Elite hater smash his xbox to the floor crying when he discovers that halo reach is about Elites only.

I personally think Elites are ugly as hell.

Amen to that. I hate Elites with a firey passion that burns deep within my non existant soul. I would prefer a game where you play as Grunts going up against 3000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000Spartans. Elites suck. Elites are the worst form of Covenant. The only good thing about Elites are the damn camo armor.

Aye, but it had ODSTs and was from the human perspective.
I get the point your trying to get across though,
The way people say how elites should be removed from mp is bull.
As long as all the hit boxes are made more even eg, butt shots deal more damage then its fine.
I dont get why there is so much hate, its always a bit ill favoured in team swat still...

ODSTs,Elites, Spartans, Brutes, whatever other thing are all equally as important to Halo but at least the Spartans and ODST's are badass. The -blam!- Elites are terrible as -blam!-.

You didn't play Halo 2 much did you. Elites are the most honored, bloodthirsty, and incredible warrior race that I have ever seen, aside from maybe Predators.

I don't understand this on going Elite hating. Why bother when you can choose between Elites and spartans. If you hate Elites, then play as the steroid drugged spartan, and stop whining.

  • 11.06.2009 9:10 AM PDT

I played Halo 2 alot I just hate Elites. They always were terrible in my opinion and this thread is pointless anyway.

Someone got stuck on the first level of Halo 2 for a little too long then :P

Halo 3: ODST = $30

This whole topic is stupid. It's obvious those are spartans in the poster. Without spartans there wouldn't be HALO!

Fos, you don't need to rub your fasce in the new guys.
You are being a little big headed about being very intelligent.
Some guys here arent as bright as you, or can understand what your trying to get across. I disagree with it seriously. But I definitly see the argument, all it takes I think is hitbow balancing for the hate to go.

I beat Halo 2 after playing it for 1 day the rest of the time I just played customs and the Campaign mission with the Gondolas until I got a 360 since I got Halo 2 around two months before Halo 3's release

It's about spartans. We kinda have reasons to believe that it's about spartans.

Elites are great, and every so often I play as one in matchmaking. But Bungie shouldn't make Reach their Elite game. I would want a game taking place after Halo 3, during the likely ensuing Jiralhanae-Sangheili war.

They did balance the hitboxes, in Halo 2 Elites were deemed EASIER to kill, and almost everybody who played as Elites switched because of this, now all of a sudden it IS 100% equal, all Spartan fans complain. They do now and always will, if it wasn't Elites, it would be armor permutations, you would hear "Why is scout impossible to headshot" and dumb stuff like that. People make up issues to correct mistakes they made, and that is why people want Elites to be gone. It is serious BS and I want to prove the point that they are wrong.

Maybe I was a little too cryptic but every time someone tries to outright say it, he is made to be a fool, I will not be made to be a fool, sir.

I hope you understand my predicament and why I chose to portray my opinion in this way.

Now if we were talking about a brute/elite war I would choose the Elites because I hate brutes even more. And honestly I don't think that the Elites are the worst, Brutes are.

Also I have a unhealthy habit of defending myself when someone says something and I don't know why a do that.
