Subject: I hate elites

If we could play as brutes maby I wouldn't hate the elites so much.

now like a lot of my fellow halo fans i simply hate elites. Not just because they got overly vamped in halo reach(though now they are rediculously strong and the whole putting up the leg so my spartan runs into it which somhow kills him just adds to my anger) I hate elites because they are the least desireable aliens ever though up and yet bungie thought that it would be a good idea that of all the aliens that they have introduced us to they would allow us to play as these vile slimeball dinos! i understand that this may have been because they were the ones that revolted agains the covenant on halo 2 (which is when we first were able to play as them) and i understand that on the halo battle field you wouldnt see a jackel being a fair fight against a spartan in the multiplayer matches. However i believe that bungie has overlooked the most fearsome creature they have offered us yet, the brute! In halo 2 you see one of these planet of the ape like aliens throw down their weapon and start to charge you you are trying to get up ontop of something so they dont just mess your whole day up (i speak only of legendary i dont realy play much of the lower difficulties it make your guy way too strong) or even the flood would be a nice addition for special game types like infection (and dont try giving me that "they cant do stuff like that because it wouldn't be fair to only be able to play as that alien for a certain game type" cause they are already doing that with this elite slayer!) or if they had an all covy war where it was like heretic fights where on both side people play as only covy units (random so that people dont only choose the good classes and the grunts go without)or if they would just let us play as anything but just these s3's and those darn splitlip's would be nice (MOSTLY ANYTING BUT THESE SPLITLIPS!)

Some like playing as an Elite and some don't. I loved it. although you have to get used to it.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Elites were more bad ass enemies then compared to the stupid brutes. I remember the days when if you saw an ultra elite up close, you'd knew you were royally screwed. They will always be my favorite aliens in the halo universe.

Each microcosmic planet, a complete society...

The Elites are the pinnacle of sci-fi badassery as far as aliens are concerned. Mind your tongue.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Blasphemy!

Elites are great. But they are honourbound and uplifted in their ways.
The brutes are good variation yes, I really liked how they played in Halo 2.
Even though brutes are the primary enemy in Halo 3 and ODST, they play just like elites who sometimes drop their armor and stroll casually in your direction. They don't really rage as they would in Halo 2.
