Elites suck. Elites are the worst form of Covenant.




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.


Sure you do

I HATE Elites with a passion. I want just Spartans, much better than -blam!- elites. Everytime I kill and Elite, I wanna t-bag it.

There -blam!- ugly, that only noobs and the younger generation play as. The little kids who think their really good and know everything about Halo, when they know -blam!- all.

Remove Elites from Matchmaking.

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 don't consider 5 years of Halo short enough to be a noob, I also don't consider 20 years of age young enough to be a little kid. Funny, I'm an Elite. Oh wait, didn't I play a little noob at Halo that was a Spartan the other day? I think I played 10, compared to the 2 young nooby Elites I played.

Oh god this guy is more of an Elite hater than me......

Even though I hate Elites I don't care if there in MM or not I can kill them as fast as I kill Spartans and if you were any good at the bloody game you could to.

Fair enough, your not a noob or young. But in my opinion and experience, more younger people play as elites because they think aliens are cool. Also I don't think many hardcore players use Elites...

Still I hate them in Matchmaking, but much prefer to kill Elites in campaign and hate the Brutes.

The reason you notice more young, and amateur players as Elites is simple: There are less Elites. That is it, they just seem to stand out more.

Also, the main reason more hardcore players play as Spartans is because MLG only allows them.

Actually, in MY Experience I find that Elite players tend to get alot more into the Lore, Campaign, and Plot of Halo than Spartan players. Myself and many of my friends chose Elites because we honestly feel there History is more interesting, and fun to imagine, than Spartans.

What with the Feudal/Midieval style of technology, Martial, and Meritocratic societal structure, based heavily on Honor, and Pride. They really do have a more Japanese Samurai meets European Knight feel to them. In many ways they are actually far more similar to the Spartans of Greece that Spartan IIs themselves.

Or because (this is the opinion of me and seven people I know) the Elites best helmet is Commando which makes the look like a dog.

"Best" or "Hardest to unlock"

I am partial to Flight (as you can no doubt see) and Combat. As far as I am concerned, they are awesome looking.

The only Spartan helmets I think look half-decent are Security, Mark V, and Mark VI. And they don't stand up to Flight for me.

I meant best, and that was mine and some of my friends opinions. I agree with you as far as the Spartan helmets you like. But I also like the ODST helmet because it gives you the somewhat feel of being an ODST that is alot more kickass than the others

Eh, I actually find ODST a little bland looking. With a gold visor it loses it's edge.

But anyway, yeah, most people only like Commando or Ascetic, both of which I detest. I really wish they had Honor Guard, Ranger, or Heretic armor...

  • 11.06.2009 9:50 AM PDT

Ascetic I don't mind that much except the golden eyes give you away in dark spots

Look at this, reduced to small talk. You see? I can make anyone love me :)

Now back to the point of the thread: I am coming out and saying it 100% clearly now.

I am sick of people complaining that Elites should be removed from the Halo Multiplayer experience. Just think to yourselves "What would I say if it were the other way around, and SPARTANS were getting removed?"

You would be kind of pissed that you have to play as Elites wouldnt you? Yeah, a little.

This is why anti-Elite threads need to stop.

It is also worth the lulz whenever someone comes on and struggles to give me a good reason my OP was in no way a good idea :P

Well it is kind of first your a spartan then your an elite it just overlaps. I see thow what your saying but that would make the game really long or shorter

A really long game is a good thing though. More content=more to do.

And also, ODST was Halo, and it had no Spartans. So was Contact Harvest.

oh also one more reason why ppl play as elites:

they have no skill so they need to use a crappyer model (elites) just to survive a a small battle witch they probebly run away from

Like I said, prove it. COMMANDER.
