The only thing i didn't like was how the whole Sangheili honor system seemed extrememly exaggerated.
Have you ever looked at Sparta/Fuedal Japan? Those are what it's based off, and those some intense honour systems.
yeah, but I always thought of Elites as awesome ALIENS. I didn't want them to be space samurai that committed suicide once they stubbed their -blam!- toe!
I lol'd. :P
In all fairness though, I do not think all Elites think the same way. There are many different lineages, perhaps with many different customs and beliefs. Not every country on Earth is is the same, eh? If the Elites are a mono-ethnic, monocultured society, then I seriously doubt that they are, on the whole, honourable at all given some of their attributes.
These beliefs might not be shared among all Elites. Example: Rtas 'Vadum was messed up quite bad on the Infinite Succour mission. He lost half of his face, and almost had his left arm taken off. His blood was pooling on the ground, but he is still alive after it, and in a very high position.
There is also viewpoint as well. Thel is the point of view in The Cole Protocol, so Vadam's traditions, as well as his own interpretations of it, and his own beliefs, will be presented.
I just find it hard to believe that an entire species would follow the same principles.
