i like elites. i dont play as one because, in personal experinece, have won more games as a spartan. they do have cool looking armor and descriptions, though.

Ive played a sangheili for well over a month since i came back to halo 3. and im doing way better then i ever have. Ive gone on a rampage ive hit k/ds i never used to, and in one night alone my assassinations raised to a absurd level(two bulltrue assassinations in one night, one which he was lunging at ME). My stick frequency has gone up. My ninjaing is way up. as well as my jump melees are significantly better.

As i stated in the beginning the elites have many game play advantages the most overlooked is the jump height and melee. i know for a fact the jump is better and i swear the melee is better to.

And on a side note people do attack me from my own team more and people on the other team go into rages to kill me. a behavor i use to my ADVANTAGE.

Getting that requires getting a somewhat difficult achievement. There's another piece you get for getting Mongoose Mowdown, which can seem near-impossible at times.


Hard? I will show you hard!

All footage is by me :D



That was epic.

People who play as a dinosaur are consistently either bad or stupid. More often than not, both.

Is it me, or where the last 3 pages of posts the most closed-minded pile of s**t i ever heard in my life?

Whoever said this i hope is joking (roughly said) - " Wanting to be different just means you suck at Halo, its a fact of life... "

I don't think i have ever heard a more useless pile of b.s in my entire life!

I think the film District 9, certainly stands its ground in this conversaition...i didn't think the films portraying of how racist humans would be to another race was actualy so true...

Stuff you all, i have a support non-human (alien) rights tee-shirt (no jokes)...
and im not blood related to the Sangheili (despite wishing to be) so it doesn't matter how much i bang them!

When I think of elites I think of stupidity. The clips with elites failing or getting sh1t on are often quite funny.

When I think of elites I also think of the player who is walking around like he/she doesn't know which game is in the disc drive.

Last but not least. When in a BR fight. The shots to get the shield off seem to land easier for me. Elite model seems a little more wide then the spartan model. That could just be a feeling I have. So I'm not exactly worried when I engage an elite in a 1v1 battle.
Though, the finishing headshot often doesn't quite register on those weird elites. That can lead to some frustration. :p

To summarise, elites are associated with dumb things.

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.


There is no opinionated variable in how difficult they are to shoot from behind. They are indefinitely harder to headsht from behind.

When I think of the Bungie.net community, I think of stupidity.
People, who would lke to strike down all those who diagree with them, through sub-par, often idiotic counter arguments, and a select grop of people who often, up front display a level of complete and total idiocy, it is astoding.

It is shameful to think that being a part of the Halo community, and a fan of Halomeans that these fools must be interacted with at some point or another, or their presence acknowledgedat the very least.

In short, I associate the B.net community with being dumb. =)

Because a lot of elites are colored pink like you. This also means they are usually ten year old children who shouldnt be playing halo to begin with.

Why Elites are harder the headshot:


1. Their back hunches over their head, making headshotting them from behind the equivalent of headshotting a Spartan facing away from you looking down. You can't.

2. Their heads bobble when being shot.

3. When they move the right stick (view) their head moves. If a Spartan only moves his right stick, his head won't move. The axis is in the dead center of it. But for Elites, the axis is in the back if its head so it will shift and move as the right stick is turned. Try playing against an Elite on 10 sensitivity.

You are, for the most part, correct, but when a spartan looks around, his head moves, too. I know this for a fact because I've missed a good number of easy headshots by hesitating, and the person just starts looking around and I completely miss their head. I've also found that it's easier to headshot an elite when they're running in any direction other than completely away from you because their head sticks out so much in front of them that you can get a clean headshot pretty easily. Oh yeah, the top part of their back counts as a headshot, too. Just sayin'.

Hates to love and loves to hate.

Why?

Their all kids 14 and below in age.
Their are lacking in skill.
Their crutches in swat.

Those are facts, anyone playing as a dinosaur is one of these if not all.

Way to stereotype all elites. People that play as elites can turn your whole statement around and make it apply to spartans, too, but neither argument is stronger than the other because ignorance plays a big part in it. You argument fails.

I have no clue why anybody would care about the difference of the Spartan and Elite models!

I know I know some people hate the Elites and some the Spartans.

DEAL WITH IT!!

Halo is supposed to be a fun game that you can kill your opponents and, just have fun!

C'mon we are the halo community lets post threads about something intelligent...
or that has something that could make Halo a better game!
