Subject: why does everyone hate elites? :(

Don't cross the white line.

"Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Give a Halo regular a fish, and he'll complain about the taste, color, type, size, where you found it, how you obtained it, whether or not you'll give him more fish later, and I don't know how many more things.And then when you give him another fish, he'll complain that it's not exactly like the first fish. Rinse and repeat."

Yeah, but guys...


Invasion.

Gamplay
Elites = Spartans

Appearence
Personal Taste

Player
All ranges of age, rank and skill play as Elites and Spartans.

I believe I have not stated opinion here, but actual fact.

elites have camel toes that make juice which contains aids

the reason for people hating elites is:
1. they are harder to kill because of a smaller target of the hear
2. harder to snipe
3. cant shoot them in the head from behind
4. make a retarded noise on death :P

period and end of story only work when you have any authority over the people your talking to.when you say "end of story" i read "ignore this".unrelated to what i just said but i just noticed while i was typing this end of story and ignore this have the same number of letters.

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.
yeah i post replies as i read though the thread so that's not really likely to change.

Yo dawgs. I didn't know I was hated. Is this true? :O

  • 06.05.2010 2:06 AM PDT

I prefer elites and I used to play as an elite. However I onlly have flight for elites whereas I have nearly all spartan armour including the Katana. So at the moment I usually play as a spartan. (I do play as an elite on Halo 2 (PC) though.

  • 06.05.2010 2:48 AM PDT

O Rly?

When they don't die in a BR fight it's really easy to blame it on the hitboxes. And sadly, a lot of times you'll seem to hit the head but they won't die.

  • 06.05.2010 2:50 AM PDT

elites are awesome cant wait to play as them in reach.

Dumbest comment I've ever seen.

Elites are hated because everybody thinks that they are "dumb mini-dinosaurs with a hunched back". That's just ridicuolous. I'm not a "n00b" because I play as an Elite, I'm a decent player. It's just plain stupid to offend and trash talk someone just because their in-game character is an Elite.

Personally, I think elites are cooler, better and even funnier. I hardly see "n00bs" using an elite, these days very many good players use Elites, so I ask you haters:

Why do you hate elites, seriously? And no, I don't want comments like "they look dumb" "it's harder to headshot them" or something like that. Their head is a bit lower than spartans, DEAL WITH IT.

  • 06.05.2010 6:23 AM PDT

Well they are actually hard to kill, especially in swat.

Not really. People will survive headshots from time to time. There will always be latency, unless everybody has crazy fast high-speed internet connections.

I've had spartans and elites that survived my headshots, losing a potential point for my team, seeing as how he was supposed to be dead. But guess what? I got over it. It will happen, no matter the character model.

Damn you 353 guilty spark! You killed the greatest stereotypical african american gun toting sergeant ever to tread upon a fictional futuristic setting!

I respect anyone who plays an elite so long as they are over the age of 12. Call me biast if you must.

Why can i see this debate doing on for years and years...
Its already done a good week or so...

I have been reading pretty much every comment on here and have read some of the most closed-minded bull-crap bias rediculous statements, and some of the most mature sensible stuff...

And you still all have't come to the conclusion, it doesn't matter what someone plays as, it doesn't make them a particular type of person its just down to personal prefernce and that natural thing called, Genetic Diversity we aren't all the same and thats enough to counter-act any closed-minded crap like this question..
