I must say, I am dissapointed almost beyond measure, to see such verbal diarrhoea and complete garbadge which has been spewed forth from the lips of close-minded fanboys. (Or from the asses, if you wish to extend the metaphor.)
First off,
I think Elites look awesome. They certainly do not look like "Barney". I'm actually finding it hard to believe, how people could be such utter -blam!-tards as to even hold this belief. They don't have a tail, they aren't purple skinned. Oh yeah, they actually look dangerous and badass. While their armour selection isn't the best, most of the armour perms they do have, are great. Especially the Ascetic.
I sincerely wish I could say the same about the Spartans, but I can't. The only Spartan helmets worth wearing are CQB and ODST. The others just plain suck, and that includes Recon, which recieves unjustified fuss. The only reason someone would ever wear the damn thing is to show off that they have it, which is pointless now given that Recon has been made available to ANYONE.
In terms of Gameplay,
The Elite's actually do have a slightly higher jump, and their Sword Lunge seems to operate over longer range than the Spartan's (From experience.) An Elites crouch is much more useful, putting them in a lower posture than the Spartans which has useful applications is combat.
A headshot is not necessarily easier to pull off on an Elite. Not only is it practically impossible to headshot them from behind. (The hole being about the size of a single bullet.) But they aren't much easier, if at all, to headshot from the front or sides. Think about it. From the front, the Elite head presents itself as being approximately the same size. From the sides, sure it sticks out forward from the body, but the Spartan head sticks upwards out from the body. Both are easy to see, and shoot.
Other reasons,
Well, canonically the Elites are -blam!- awesome and kick absolute ass. Also, I have somewhat of a rebellious nature and know full well the ammount of discriminative behaviour that is directed at Elites. Nothing pleases me more in this game, than to trounce a bunch of players in a game as an Elite, claiming the MVP by a long margin and listening to their 8 year old voices screech obsenities in blasphemous tones at having lost to a "bid dumb dinosaur"
You want to stereotype B.net? How about this then?
Spartans are comprised of sqeaky little children, who like to enter a match and spout complete bull-blam!- at everyone to make themselves look and/or appear tough, which is foolish in itself as they squeak relentlessely down their microphones, attempting in vain to garner what little dignity they can (Which ends up in it getting worse.) They are useless players, who think they are better and above everyone else, and fear the competition Elites bring and so attempt to label them all as n00bs to try and rise above the Elites.
They then come onto the internet to try and further spread complete bull-blam!- about Elites being stupid, useless etc because they can't comprehend the fact that opinions exist contrary to theirs, and do not wish to understand the fact that, just as Elites, the players of Elites are actually comprised of the more mature, level headed members and are proud, fierce warriors who battle against a tide of oppresion and trolling, only seeking to have fun and play as their prefered type.
Nothing more, nothing less.
