Now think about it why do the elites have a hud they dont wear a helmet that has a visor, where does it come from. Next how do they flip vehicles, true they are very strong by them selves but they dont have any strength enhancing armor, that why they couldnt right overturned ghosts in halo, true this is a game but still bungie has a knack for all ways giving a good explanation for things. What do you think???

Elites are nearly as strong as MC anyways. In fact, in FoR, MC is equal to an Elite in hand to hand combat, so they dont need the strength enhancing armor, they're straight badasses.

And you need the HUD, it's a game

Ummm... how do we know that the elites don't wear some sort of "contacts" with the HUD in them... and how do you know they don't have strength enhancing armor?

Well, their armor isn't strength enhancing, as far as I know, they just are incredibly strong.

The contact thing is too weird and unlikely to me for it to ever be said in a story. The HUD is their for gameplay, plain and simple. The Elites are their as a Skin becuase so many people want to play as one, and cause they kick ass. Also, it gives more opportunities for team division. Split up by colors, or races, or both.

Ok: Elites are just as strong maybe stronger than the average spartan. Read the books. And the MC did not have a HUD in the 9-minute demonstration. Maybe they will not either. And I have not actually seen the elites eyes. So maybe it is wearing a helmet. That does not cover its huge multi-mandibled mouth.

They have eyes, they're black orbs just under the brim of the helmet. You can see em a little in game but more so on the action figure.

The E3 Demo was clear of the HUD to show off everything, and because at that time it wasnt even near finished, there will be one in game.

Also in Campaign elites shields are slightly weaker, but they're even in MP, so what does it matter? I wonder what it's like to look down and see an elites feet. How wil you choose to be a Spartan/Elite in MP? is it like choosing color?

I'm wondering the same, but it'd be simple. I wonder if you can decide if a game is split on colors or races, cause I think you could have Elites and Spartans on Red team and Bluw team, it's just a skin afterall

I expect you have to set your profile just as a spartan, then in a split screen (for example) you might select your profile "tim" (I know, lame example) and then choose elite of spartan as an option

Um, actually not. If you read FoR, it says that they took the Covenant's sheild technology and improved upon it. So there for MC's sheilds are stronger than the elites. It's the elites strength that makes them even, not the sheilds. They don't have strength enhancing armor because they don't need it. They use armor to denote rank (with the exception of the brute), and that's it. If they did have strength enhancing armor, how much do you want to bet that they would give it to the grunts and let them run around with it. Then get rid of the elites, brutes and jackals.
