Yeah, its alright. But although the community has a large quantaty of Elite players, that community is nothing in size compared to the Spartan players. Bungie's records are 1 in 10, but that is counting people that only change for Swat (which unfortunately is around 60% of Elite players).

It would be more realistic to say 1 in 20 or 25 players is an Elite.

If that isn't minority I don't know what is.

And whats more, there is an Elite-Hater community almost half the size of the Elite community! It really sucks that it is like that.
It's quite ironic too because I would bet money those same haters are the people on here complaining "I want to fight the Elites again! Brutes suck!" It's like they realize Elites are what helped make Halo the great series it is right along with the Spartans, but then wheel around and call them Dinos. Their attitude confuses me.

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 would say enemies and marines were a little more important than Spartans when it came to making Halo great, not from a biased standpoint, but rather from the fact that initially what made Halo pull in players was the Campaign. It was ignorable who YOU were, you couldn't see yourself, it didn't matter, what mattered was the world around you. The enemies, Halo, allies, vehicles, and weapons.

In Multiplayer even if Elites were the only selectable model, I still think it would have been just as great, no change. Because after it all; it is the gameplay that matters.

Adding Elites to the game later was fine, but removing either player model would not be a wise move, there are players on both sides who would refuse to play, and buy, the game.

HAHA NICE!! Here's hoping we get to see some of those guys in Reach. I remember the Zealots in Halo: CE were like bosses. The instant you saw them, whether you just thought it or said it out-loud, some part of you went "Oh crap."

It wouldn't be so bad if Brutes were the same challenge, but they're not even close. When I see a Chieftan, I just get ready to try to assassinate them or get out a heavy weapon. With the Zealots, I actually had to pause to get myself in the zone, check my ammo and all that and plan out a small strategy. On Legendary, those guys were almost ridiculous because of the sheer amount of DAMAGE they could take!

Man I miss the Elites.

For the Sangheili!

Wow, a lot of familiar GTs in this thread, hello to you all, heh. Well, a lot of people are asking me why they wouldn't, and in truth, yeah! Why wouldn't they?

It's just that it wouldn't be surprising if they didn't, since they were not in the Halo 3 beta you see...

And I am also looking forward to seeing Sangheili in the campaign once more, their intimidating, badass Zealots running at you with an energy sword. So epic! Memories of Halo CE indeed.

I'm voting no in this poll. Why is something I can't quite put into words yet, so I'll have to get back to you.

Well, that's unfortunate, I am just dying to hear your reasoning.

There weren't any Elites in the Halo 3 Beta because bungie didn't want to ruin the surprise of playable elites. I'm sure there will be playable Elites in the Reach Beta, and maybe a new race......:)

What do you mean surprise? Halo TWO had playable Elites, why would they be surprising in Halo THREE?
TRIPLE POST!

Yeah, and you're completely biased. I mean, your model is an Elite.

And yours is a Spartan. Are you biased for Spartans?
