it's commonly thought that they are easier to kill because their head is basicly on their chest. it makes for an easier target.

It's unfortunate how much Flaming this post is going to get, it's a ligitimate question.

1. They look retarded in Halo 3
2. They're perceivably harder to headshot from behind
3. Bullets can go through their neck

This is in Halo 3. In CE, Halo 2, and Reach, they are not dumb dinosaurs, especially in the latter.

Everything in Halo 3 is childish. Spartans look like Power Rangers.

Ok, maybe from behind they are harder, but when they are straight on, it's easier. plus from profile the head is a larger target

They think it's impossible to headshot an elite from behind, but little do they know, the upper back counts as a headshot and... I've already said to much...

Because only newbs who suck a driving the warthog use them and also those a-holes in team swat that are so hard to headshot and t-bag after every kill.

Why people HATE Elites
1. There IMPOSSIBLE to get headshots off of them, so other spartan players get real angry when you play team snipers

2. There ugly

3. They have that weird space between their neck that stuff can go through

4. It's a sign that that your a noob because you want to be different and if your different, you don't play like everybody else (GOOD)
My proof
i love playing as an elite to be different

5. It tells that you can't get any Spartan Armor cause you Suck at halo (No offense)

Allow me to pick appart each one of your points.

I have no harder time headshotting Elites than I do Spartans. You just can't adapt to a shift in appearance.

2. There ugly A personal opinion...

3. They have that weird space between their neck that stuff can go throughDo you honestly know the odds of hitting that hole? I can't recall hitting it, and besides, its roughly the size of a bullet...

4. It's a sign that that your a noob because you want to be different and if your different, you don't play like everybody else (GOOD)

That's quite possibly one of the dumbest anti-Sangheili counterpoints I've ever read.

I happen to have every spartan armor, just so you know...

I likes to be playin vidja games :D

xD

Just kidding.

Its the fact that you have to readjust the sight lines for elites since they are different then spartan height. Its annoying and sometimes leads to your death if you cant correct quickly enough.

Also when there is lag in a SWAT match (where 9/10 people are Elites) its harder to readjust the height to get the head shot.


I find the overabundance of Elites in SWAT annoying but it doesn't bother me really because I dont have a hard time killing them most of the time. But in normal non SWAT gametypes I could care less if someone is an Elite.

I think that you're helmet looks stupid, but I don't go around telling off and 'bagging every recon wearer I see...

Your mom is a classy lady.

Whenever I played as an Elite it seemed like I was the biggest target. I don't know, maybe it's just because I suck.

Wort Wort Wort! *shakes energy sword fist at spartans*

Ive played a Sangheili for a while now and i gotta tell you theirs not only interesting to play they have tiny advantages.

1. They jump slightly higher, its true ive made maps where i can barely get on top of something but a spartan cant even come close. in a game of halo basketball (the rim being the plant point for an assault bomb) the elites can jump at the free throw line Spartans have to jump practically right under it.

2. Atypical movements. This is both a help and a harm really. As a "elite" you move left and right forwards and backwards differently cus of the reverse joints. this throws off alot of br players.

3. Profile while crouched. As an elite your slightly closer to the ground in a crouch again off set by the side profile but still.

4. You just seem to be slightly better with a sword. This might be due to the animation of the swing perhaps in the movement mentioned above.

5. Every time you win and get mvp people freak and are stunned.

This is just another example of small children and small minds. Because you play something outside the norm your not good. I cant even begin to count the number of times ive seen recon recently and their total garbage. So the blade cuts both ways.
