Will putting Elites in the mix with Spartans in multiplayer be fair?
Even if they dont put in special abilites or attributes to each "race", there are physical differences, in Halo the Elite ran with their heads down and their one color armor sometimes made it hard to see their actual head from their body since it sat in front of their torso and not above like the Human anatomy. Anyways I just hope they run with their heads up in this game so I can pick em' off easier.

Yep, they are going to have the same health, ablities as each other, no advantages.

There is no health, so headshots would kind of be pointless without the pistol.

Umm, yeh even if there was no health a head shot could still kill someone, no health doesn't mean there is no real time anatomy physics. :)

There is health just no health bar get that straight. And yes headshots do matter they are 2x the damage. And yes Spartans vs Elies will be fair.

True, a headshot with the sniper rifle still kills in one shot.

Thats good, I think it would be neat to see the marines tho, because in an early post of a magazine(either Game Informer, PSM, or EGM) said there was going to be Elites, Spartans AND Marines..... Jeez I hope they have marines.... ;)

Yes, remember who you are talking about here.
Would Bungie really release a game where one character was unbalanced?
They strove for the ultimate balance of weapons in Halo, why not extend that to the characters of Halo 2?
