The reason elites are hated is because they are not human and spartans are. It's an automatic reaction to go "alright so elite or spartan? Hmmm spartan because it's human." Elites are cool though.

I think that elites are cool. They have advanteges. I dont play as one, but that doesnt mean I dont think their cool. They kick a**, there hard to get a head shot on, and their very quite so they neak up on you. So those are SOME of the advantedges they have.

No. Elites should not be banned from swat. God its the 1940's-1960's again. Blacks have to use this fountain, whites use that fountain, ONLY this time its matchmaking in Halo3 and Spartans and Elites. This is the kind of thinking that is BAD.

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.

^^ i would normally agree with the above, does it really matter, my only problem is in swat, the elite headshot-hitbox excludes the lower part of their head meaning i can shoot an elite directly in between the eyes.... and it not killing them... worst case is in my fileshare when i scored a killtacular on an enemy team, shot an elite for the 6th kill, got him straight in the head but due to the hitbox no death, then the elite takes a potshot at me and the BR spread catches me in the head.... :-( i just dont think that becuase somone wants to be an elite it should give them an unfair advantage.

I wasn't saying that the Elites should have advantages, just that they do. And they are many.

dont worry if u wear elite armour because your not ten years old as u problably bought the game urself, who cares what it looks like recon looks ugly so do other helmets i dont see us elites teabagging the people wearing mark vi

my final point in reach it will be the turn of the elite to be awesome better shields, double ur height, regen health, better weapons to spawn with, and finally elite vehicles we make awesome vehicles

I myself am a proud elite player, however I do not hate those who choose to play as de-I, er, mean... spartans.
I change between the two races quite often, but sport a covenant-style emblem and colour scheme. Me and my friends usually stick to custom games, but we are all elite players, and are capable of a good, competetive game as well. We have won games as elites, and we have lost games as elites.

Hmmm, nice primitive post there. Close-minded, poor syntax, spelling and grammar.

And why, why did you have to go and resurrect this thread?
