4. It's a sign that that your a noob because you want to be different and if your different, you don't play like everybody else (GOOD)
My proof
i love playing as an elite to be different

That is possibly one of the most weak minded and pathetic statements I have ever read. You must be one of those kids wanting to be popular and so changes his personality and the way he acts in order to find acceptance with your new "friends". Good way to live your life, heh, not.

People will just look for a scapegoat to aviod the truth that they are not good enough to control all the variables at play in a game, or that they just suck themselves. Lose a BR confrontation agianst a Spartan and they blame lag, or modding. Lose to an Elite, and its faulty hitboxes, or gaps in their necks. It's a game, if your getting annoyed about these things, then you need a reality check.

I'll play as an Elite because I prefer them, and also because I am not a socially insecure person who needs to be with "the crew", so I don't let people change my opinion. I'm not generalizing all Spartan players here by the way, only those with the same feelings as the guy I quoted above; you know who you are. If anything, the fact that these folk get annoyed amuses me.

However, time to balance this wee rant. There are some folk out there who play as Elites who seem to be just as bad.They brag about stupid things like "Elites can pwnzz humanzz 1v9000". Folk like this need to get thier facts straight, and also look up the word "Honor" in a dictionary, and have a real think about it, and then think about the Elites. They may have problems.

Oh, and stalectos, get the Multiquote script or something lol, a quintriple post jeez :P.

Hello, there. I'm SpartanLazer. My friends call me Sp'Lazer.

Even though I use a Spartan model, I have nothing against Elites.

I just use Spartan because of higher customization.

Is this thread really still alive? There's so many misconceptions and ignorance filled replies about Elites in here. People keep whining about the hole in their neck, but honestly, from my experience, I've never even noticed it was there until someone at Halo 3 Mythbusters pointed it out. Now people are just blowing it way out of proportion.

I recently found out that people on the internet will say anything, and I mean anything to make themselves feel better.There's just so much prejudice, hate, and overall stupidity that's going around.

Here's some examples that I've gathered from my own experience of playing Halo 3:

Elites - annoying squeakers that can't BR/whore power weapons/noobs/headshots don't register

Spartans - actually wait, you can say the same thing about Spartans as you can about Elites and it'd make about the same amount of sense. It doesn't actually matter what armor you're wearing, it's just the people. If someones a jerk to you because you're an elite, imagine playing as a spartan. They'd still be the same jerkoff that's ruining your game.

I've actually been a member here longer, but I had to change email accounts lol.

I play as either depending on my mood and desire to mess around. I used to alternate, but I'd often forget or accidently leave it on one for a couple of games.
edit: also OP generalizations are the devil.

Thats the internet for yea. People think they are so cool behind their TV or moniter.

  • 06.01.2010 9:14 PM PDT

Lol

The elites are hated mainly because anything that causes uncertain things to happen pisses people off.

  • 06.01.2010 9:22 PM PDT

They all have scoliosis

  • 06.01.2010 9:48 PM PDT

they just suck...period...end of story...

  • 06.01.2010 9:53 PM PDT

They have hunchbacks. It makes their butt stand out.

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.


I guess I don't hate everyone who plays Halo. There appear to be some good ( Possibly open-minded ) people in the world...Glad to know i'm not the only open-minded one in the community...

They have hunchbacks. It makes their butt stand out.

All the more easier for me to stare at.

And for the record, I do wonder how many insults that Sangheili could come up with for Humans...Oh the amount of racial tension there is going to be between Humans and, when we do find them, another race.

-Elite Saying

People who hate elites have no better argument than "their just stupid" because there are no reasons to actually say that they are stupid...unlike spartans where you can come up with many reasons why there are inferior to elites, like how hey are easier to get headshots on

Has anyone seen the Machinima series Pre-game Lobby? If you haven't go to youtube and watch it now. There is a character named Matt and he plays as a Sangheili wearing the Ascetic helmet and is the most noobish and annoying person in the world. It just shows that only noobs play as Dinos.

Prejudice and stereotypes at their finest!

THE STRONG SURVIVE

its probably because poeple hate it when hard core players use it in swat lol only because its harder to headshoot it.... lol it does suck though

  • 06.02.2010 2:44 PM PDT

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

I love elites. I play as them too.
The reason low levels hate them is because they are jealous they can't get Elite Armor Achievements. (Way harder than Spartan ones)

The reason high levels hate them is because the love to [bitch] and moan that they are IMPOSSIBLE to headshot from behind, even though its quite simple.

We have been raised for combat...
We carry our banner to our fights...
Alone we are a menace, together we are a threat...
Born to raise hell, live to drop back in it...
Never retreat, never surrender... we are spartans.

i mean i love playing as an elite to be different and i think they are cooler than spartans (no offense) but ive found myself getting t bagged and talked crap to often...why? :(


Look I'm not going to lie, I prefere playing as a Spartan over an Elite but hating a player for being one is pure stupidity (no offense intended), I personaly don't mind having an Elite on my team and if other players bad mouth Elites users for merely using it, well ignore them.

Wow so just because one guy (who is made up) has elite armour and is anoying means that all elites are noobs. And for the record only noobs think elites look like dinosaurs

  • 06.02.2010 3:15 PM PDT

ok, so more funny than upset elites, who are upset for being made fun of...
Are the GREAT MINDS that come in here and whine about the Halo community being RACIST... YOU -blam!- KIDDIN' ME? really? its not a real race, and your -blam!- choosing to be that race... Not my problem you made a crappy choice and chose that dumb dinosaur.

racism? no not really. Auuuiiiighh! (<--Dying Dinosaur)

'CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG???'

F Off with that crap!

  • 06.03.2010 1:51 AM PDT

What is wrong with you? I really don't understand...I am pretty sure they could take the piss out of humans, just the same...

" WOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAA" < - Dying Ape piece of -blam!- ( human )

Theres nothing wrong with playing as a Sangheili, i see whiny 8 year olds playing Spartans just as much as i see whiny kids playing Sangheili...it makes no -blam!- difference its just personal preference, just because you play as one doesn't mean you are 8 year old nub-cake who sucks at halo and Team Swat...

i play as one, im 16, im not pro but im good at halo and im pretty good at team swat...but not pro

To be honest, you haters of Sangheili seem to be the whiny ones... " Oh, cry,cry their head is to low...they are hunch-back dumb dino's " Complain complain complain!!!

For **** sake...we are heading to the space-age! I think there is a particular poet that holds a lot of ground here...John Aggard.

but yu must come back tomorrow
wid de whole of yu eye
an de whole of yu ear
an de whole of yu mind.


Open your minds people...to much hate and closed-mindedness!!!

  • 06.03.2010 2:07 AM PDT

hello :)

also when i see an elite with a closed in helmet it reminds me of a fart(the long smooth loud sounding ones)
