" loved elites since halo CE and i used them in halo 2 and in halo 3"
I hear that!!
I have no physical in-game preference, i can kill spartan or shangeilli just the same in xbl, despite not wanting to kill the latter. I play as one because i want to be different, i always have done, and i don't want to be the same as everyone else, thats just boring...However i find me playing as a Shangeilli makes it easier for me to be killed, simply because EVERYONE goes for you, half the time they don't care if your on their team or not...
But as some of you may have gathered from my posts. Outside of physical benefits, i love and always have loved them. Their culture, education, way of life, loyalty to each other the list goes on and on. I command a great amount of respect for them, and if i am in the situation of fighting them in the campaign of Halo 2 or Halo:CE i still have that respect because they are certainly a challange to fight!
