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

i would cry! Spartans are awesome heroic soldiers, if there were no spartans, it wouldnt be halo (ODST doesnt count, because ODSTs are supersoldiers aswell sort of)

plus, what has happened to elites? They are hunchbacks now! they used to stand tall, proud and deadly, bring back the original elites!

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.

First of all, I love Elites are are my favorite covenant race. However I don't want them in matchmaking, or having their own playable campaign, because it really had an impact on thier whole appearance and style.

My avatar, the Energy Sword, shows how much I like them.

-Playing as one kind of ruined their whole mysteriousness and eerieness. (i.e. speaking English instead of "wort wort wort")
-Shrunk down to have crippled backs. Look like dinos.
-Stupid death noises
-Elites using human weapons just looks dumb, as well as driving warthogs and mongooses.

You contradicted yourself. Claiming that those death sounds (which are more epic than hearing Spartans screaming like little girls) are only a result of the Elites appearing in multiplayer.

Also, I think humans look dumb holding Plasma Rifles and using Ghosts.

The whole "death noises sounding dumb" was merely opinion, it's okay so you like them and I don't. Albeit it's just an opinion, most would agree that it sounds pretty lame.
(kind of funny too, I'll admit).

As for Spartans looking dumb using covenant weapons/vehicles, it makes more sense than Elites using human weapons. Why? Because Spartans collected covenant weapons early on for reasearch and used them sometimes. Elites would rather fight unarmed than use a fully loaded Assault Rifle.

It was still a requirement for the Covenant to study and learn human technologies FAR EARLIER than it was for Spartans to do so with the Covenant. Pride or not, Elites were still forced to learn how to use Human weaponry.

Where did you find that Covenant studied and learned human weapons? I don't remember seeing it when I read the books. I'll admit defeat if you can lead me to a reference that shows this.

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.

what are you talking about? they are so easy to snipe from the back, and they are like an automatic headshot at close range! you shoot the middle of their back which is a huge target. remember, sniper shots go through bodies, so ya.

So yea elites are tottally hard to hit in the head and the are SUPER swat cheaters.

  • 11.09.2009 1:42 PM PDT

So all of these people that dont like Elites would rather kill Brutes or Something for 5 games and not have Elites in the game at all?

  • 11.09.2009 1:49 PM PDT

Most kills in the world with the Storm rifle in halo 4, the Plasma Repeater in halo reach, and the Plasma rifle in halo 3.

They just don't like the idea of an Elite that is capable of the exact same level of the skill as them, if not more. Because that is what player models makes possible. They WANT to kill Elites, they don't want Elites to kill them, and in their minds removing the player form behind the model will help them achieve this.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Perhaps their own league

I *sigh* at the idea of SLG, with Carbine starts, Beams, Fuel Rods, and Energy swords :)

Maybe Plasma Rifles too...

*sigh*

OUR main 1v1 map would be SLG Heretic 1v1.

What would be wrong with a game where the Elites defend their home planet from the remaining Covenant Loyalists?
