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.


Jesus! This is an OPINION!!!

Play to have fun, not to sit here and rant about "Elites fail" "Spartans own/suck!"

Firstly, why are you all being so stereotypical, " if you an Elite your just a whiney 10 year old "

Second, Would you all stop saying. " *something something* is a fact! " Prety much all of what i have read is opinion

I keep seeing, " If your an elite your 14 years old and suck at halo "

I use a Sangheili, i'm not pro at halo, but im good at it, certainly finished out top enough times to account for that.

I am 16, not 14, not 10.

And i don't play a Sangheili because they are harder to shoot in the head, i have never actually noticed it in my life, i can kill them all just the same.

And as for some of you saying, people who are elites are always Pink and are just kids...

This is my Elite, and i'd say thats far from your sterotypes!

I can honestly say that i have never been talked badly to for that reason but mainly because i dont have an x box live membership.Though myu friend sadly does t bag me.

In fact I've seen this issues previously. Personally I prefer playing as Spartan, it mostly depends of the people. There are rumors all around Halo saying that is more difficult to give a clear headshot to the Elite Models but that's not true. You've exactly the same chances to give a headshot to an Elite than a Spartan, the difference might come from behind but still depends in the weapon you're using the position of the player and other game factors.

Personally I can't find a solid answer to hate these creatures.

I prefer to play as a Spartan. That is my own choice. I prefer the character models because I like the variety in them and all that. In Reach, given the choice, I'll probably be an Elite often considering all their advantages.

But I certainly don't HATE any model or character like that. Oh no. Everybody is free to make their own choice.

You know what I just realized? That when they're in the campaign, they're praised as "worthy adversaries" and "badass enemies" but in MP, they're called "dumb dinosaurs".


heck, I say it too. Just made an observation.

1. they are harder to hit from behind. there's some dispute about whether they are easier to shoot from the side.

2. there is a small spot on their neck which is invincible to bullets.

3. from the front, their head hit box is narrower but not a lot taller. less area.

4. my personal experience (playing as a dino and a spartan, and trying to kill both) shows that it's much harder to snipe a dino or kill them in SWAT. playing as a dino, people rarely kill me with their first shot, especially from behind.



it's irrelevant if you think they're ugly or not. i think they're cool. i play as a dino in swat games sometimes because i feel that it gives me an advantage, but i boycotted it for a while because it seemed cheap.

honest/calm responses?

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.
yeah you really think so well guess what i kick ass at driving a warthog and i play as an elite every crap warthog driver i have ever seen was a spartan.

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.
elites for the win

I am a noob who sucks at driving the warthog and betrays the team.

Who am I??

HMMMMMMM! Oh that's right ,an Elite.

They suck!!!!! Period!
once again i am an elite who doesn't suck at driving a warthog but Spartans have driven me into rockets before and you don't know how many Spartans have team killed me for the bomb in assault or for a melee weapon.

From my expererience, the people who play as Elites are:

1. Ten year olds that think Elites "R SUPR KOOL ALIENZZ!!"
2. Noobs
3. Somebody who just got back from swat

This is why I always teabag the crap out of every dino I kill.
so if someones an elite but they score every point in an assault game there a noob and a ten year old because they are an elite brilliant deduction and it would be true if it wasn't total bull -blam!-

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.
*claps* you are a better person than most.

Have YOU ever hit that incredibly small spot enough times to effect the outcome of the game?

  • 06.01.2010 6:27 PM PDT

Heres the tie winner. Elites suck balls but I can;t get enough of their screams. They are hilarious but other than that they suck. The only reason to play as an Elite is to have an advantage over other players cause your not as skilled. I bet you wont see Elites in MLG 30+.

  • 06.01.2010 7:02 PM PDT

If you really think ELITES are that ugly, take a look in the mirror!!!!!!!!!!!

They look like a stuipd deformed retarded looking Dino that got hit by a car then steped on by people

Again, more stereotyping. You people never learn.

Bravo!

Great solutions and amazing ending!

I too, am a Spartan and I support Elites.

This is so stupid about "Elites are 10 year old babies!" "Spartans own your 3 year old noob dinosaur elites!" <----- Stupid!

Wow! Halo is fun all the way I personally like Spartans/Elites better but it DOESN'T MATTER! <----- Good!

By the way I agree with stalectos

Who the f--- cares!? (Obviously you and some others)

Usually you don't hit that spot since it's soooo small!

This thread is a waste of my time and I have no idea why I even bothered to start getting involved in the "elites are dinosaurs" BS.
(I guess I just wanted to prove all those asshats wrong...)
