Wait a minute... Hasn't Bungie already stated that Spartans and Elites are the same model with different skins? How does that make them harder to snipe?

Even if I'm wrong, you can still snipe an Elite, even from behind. The upper back of them will count as a headshot. The neck thing was a rumor and proven to be wrong, and Bungie has told the community this before.

Also, if I'm wrong about the whole model and neck thing, it still doesn't matter. They can still be sniped from behind, like I, and many others on this forum, have said before.

Back to the actual topic. People generally hate Elites because they are a favorite of noobish players. Face it Elites: You may not be a noob or act like one, but the majority of Elites in Matchmaking are/do. Not only that, but over the years, Elites have lost that ferocious look and dawned the Barney suit. They look like retarded dinosaurs with a spine disorder.

Either way, it's your choice as to what you play as. You can play as a Dinosaur, or you can play as a Power Ranger. It's your choice.

I'm not bad, I'm Useless

People talk trash all the time. It's fun trolling and that is why so many people do it. They love the reaction. Elites are just easier to talk trash about.

Little known fact: It's only difficult to headshot an elite when they're running away from you in the complete opposite direction. If they turn in any direction other than completely away from you, their head sticks out so much in front of them that you can pull off a clean headshot.

That's my experience from playing Team Snipers and Team Swat anyways.

i mean i love playing as an elite to be different and i think they are cooler than spartans (no offense) but ive found myself getting t bagged and talked crap to often...why? :(


It probably has less to do with you being an elite and more to do with you being a brig grade 2.

Rank is irrelevant. It's the internet; there will always be inconsiderate jerks that will try to ruin your fun.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

The bullets that pass through their necks bother me.

Has it really bothered you that much? From what I've seen and heard, that happens very rarely and only when you're at point blank range.

From my opinion I prefer elites(ascetic) but my clan does not except them.(Besides one of the leaders but he's a leader he can do what he wants.)

From the factual side of this though the elites and spartans use the same 3-D charachter model. Well as far as any of us know because that's just what Bungie said. They put these little chubby suits on the charachters though that make them look different. The only thing that adds on to your charachter is the katana. I will not go into that because it screws with my head. A basic way to think of the build is this:


............................__
........................._|__|_
..........................(__)
.............................|
............................/|\
........................../ .|. \
.............................|
............................/ \
.........................../ .. \


Thats an elite and a spartan build right there but when they add on the fancy plastur and colors that make them look different but mean nothing to the support structure they look like this and this

Do you understand?

That is Halo Reach but it shouldnt be that way in halo 3

the enemy of invention is the ally of conformity

People think elites are ugly deformed barney rejects, but honestly it's like hating the internet for one bad website. The whole reason people hate elites is because one stupid a-hole went out as an elite and -blam-ed everything up for elites. It's annoying how one stupid idiot can ruin things for an entire player type. And besides, thats probably not the whole reason people hate them. The main reason they hate elites is because they sucked at Halo CE and got their a**es kicked. The reason i say this is because there are way more a-hole spartans out there as elites. One person started whining about how much he hated elites, someone else though it sounded fun, and repeat. That's your answer. It's not pleasant in anyway and it certainly doesn't solve the problem, but it's the truth. Seriously guys, what the hell. Why are you doing this? It's just a player model, there's nothing wrong with thinking that elites look cool. There's little or no difference, and the downsides of being an elite can all be unraveled
1 elites look like ugly deformed dinosaurs / spartans look like cheap knockoffs of Power rangers (I apologize, but one must admit there is some truth to that)
2 elites have voids in their necks that you can shoot right through / no counter point with spartans but honestly, name one time that this happened in a ranked match, purely on accident. I must say that the chances are about 10,000 to 1 against
3 you can't headshot them / to quote Sarge from Red vs Blue "That's not a bug-report, your just a lousy shot."
4 elites are all eight year old noobs who love dinosaurs and team killing / I didn't realize that choosing to be an elite automatically changes your personality! (sarcasm)
5 "you are g*y fa**ots" / you are all sad little nerds who live with their moms, how does that feel? (honestly, hate the player)

Hating elites is pointless. It proves only that you cannot accept people for who they truly are. You are the bully at school who beats people to a quivering pulp cause they have a weird shirt on. Give up, I have you cornered. every argument you have, I'll shoot it down in an instant. So on a closing note, I'm a spartan and I support elites, because honestly this is prejudice and the only thing separating it from racism is the fact that you can choose, and what's the point? What does it achieve? Your just yelling at people for wearing a weird shirt. So from from all of me down at the cloning factory, goodnight.
