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.

Spartans were introduced before reach was glassed
and Elites in the books were just as strong as Spartans if not stronger
While each model may have its differences I would say its your fault if you cant hit an enemy player in the head for a kill.
Elites piss me off in swat because they have long necks and are nearly impossible to head shot when they run away.Do not remove either.

Man, with all the ninjas around I am a little surprised not to see a semi-anti-Spartan thread remain unlocked. Even after I got a little carried away once or twice.

Thanks ninjas, for giving me the benefit of the doubt. ;)

Never leave home without your shotgun.

I use a Spartan model in Halo 3, but really the only reason I don't use the Elite at all is because there was so little armor that you couldn't customize them like I wanted to. If the Elite and Spartan models both have the same amount of full armor sets with unique little extras -like the Katana chestpiece and misc. helmets, that sorta thing- I think more people will either play as an Elite exclusively or switch out between them.

Of course, Spartans still rock, but.. y'know, give the aliens a chance. Make 'em feel sexy instead of left out.

EDIT: Why all the Elite hate anyway? If it's because it's hard to get headshots on them, it isn't: shoot upper-center mass. It's easier, really, if you can adjust your mind to it.

Alot of people aim for the mouth and shoulders, which is not the right shot. They should be iming for the skull, the brain.
Playing an Elite and against Elites all the time, I know my weaknesses like the insinde of my eyelids.

Awesome Fos Tis Krisis! Finally a person that actually see the unfairness between Elites and Spartans! I'm with you man! And I like your idea with this thread, you've seriously got some Spartan lovers pretty damn angry at you, hehe ;)

First of all, to all the Elite-haters. WHY do you hate them so much? "They look stupid, 5-year old kids play as dinosaurs" and "Elites are for noobs!" that's not an answer to the question that most of you Elite-haters have replied. That's just your own personal opinion... I play myself as an Elite most of the time. For many reasons, mostly because I like how they look like and their personality, aggressive, honored and great soldiers. They have an important role in the Halo universe. But just because I like Elites doesn't mean I have to hate Spartans? No, I don't hate them. But I actually HATE those who are constantly whining about how big advantage the Elites have in MM or similar, "you can't get headshots from the back with a sniper so easy on the Elites" - that's quite a common comment about the Elites. Well, if you are so good at getting headshots, then you problably won't find it too hard to shoot two shots hitting somewhere else on the body and that would also be a kill, right? I played Matchmaking quite a lot before. But I've got tired of all these Elite haters that find it more funnier to throw grenades on your team-mate just because you played as an Elite...

Secondary, Spartans got like 12 different perms in MM, Elites got 5! only. Is that fair? No. I don't think so...


Last, I really find it amusing seeing how some ppl may think that only 5-year old noobs play as Elites because they like dinosaurs more than these much better Hardcore-Spartans. Why haven't I seen a single complain from an Elite player how stupid these Spartans are? :) It may sound now that I'm judging all the Spartan-players and that's not the purpose. This message is only dedicated to these narrow-minded players that can't see this wonderful game Halo from another point of view than from the inside of their Spartan helmet.

And I myself would gladly see a game playing only as the Elites. I really enjoyed Halo 2 while playing as Arbiter. You had a more sneeky game-style and had to use your active camouflage wisely to avoid the enemies. This is something I really would like to see more of in Halo Reach!

It's not Hip-Hop, its Electro.... prick.

That's rediculous...

I still know for a fact that there will be spartans and to all the people who hate elites just because they can't headshot them. LEARN HOW TO AIM!!!!!!!!!!

I hate Elites, not as much as brutes, but you still can't just say stuff about them because you can't aim.

Look at this, this is awesome, here we have an Elite hater on OUR side, saying to be fair! Now THIS is how world peace is attained!

Anyway, thanks Halolord, for the support.

Your welcome. I still hate elites though. I'm just sick of the people who hate them because they can't headshot them.

Actually, I have to admit, Reach was the hardest fought battle by the UNSC. They had the most troops and resources there, and they failed. So I would say Ultimate Conquest is a bit more epic.

Elites are not Brutes they just fight the war with the UNSC because they believe in the Great Journey that was promised by the Prophets of Truth, Mercy, and Regret.

Did I mention I also hate idiots more than Brutes and Elites

Elites are not Brutes they just fight the war with the UNSC because they believe in the Great Journey that was promised by the Prophets of Truth, Mercy, and Regret.

The Prophets claimed that they were destroying Forerunner artifacts. This drove the Elites up the wall, their beliefs are that Forerunner technology is only to be worshiped, never used nor destroyed. The only reason they are forced to use it is because the Prophets, whom believe foreruner artifacts are gifts with which to become gods, used the power of the Dreadnought, and conquered the Elites and forced them into a treaty. This happened nearly 3000 years ago (from the present, I am actually talking 900BC here.).
