You know what, bungie have changed the hieght of Elites so much it's stupid.
That does not prove your point, only that both figures have as much weight as each other, and they have only changed it once. CE onto H2/3.

And 7'2" is pathetic for an Elite, there are a even small amount of humans that are taller than THAT.
I see where this is going; that was quite transparent. What has this got to do with Humans? Humans are irrelevant as a factor in determining the height of Elites. Please leave superiority/inferiority complexes out of this.

And about Brutes being faster, that is the only thing that says that about Brutes.
Yeah, your right. It is the only time where the speed of a Brute and Elite is compared by a third party, i.e. Master Chief. In that first encounter, the Brute is deemed to be faster. Master Chief has fought plenty of Elites to be considered above naivety. It is funny, because if it were the other way around; if it were the first time an Elite was fought and considered faster, I get the impression that you would not hesitate to use that in your defence. Despite the apparent fallacy that you claim to exist in it, you would use it.
The final chapter of First Strike has the Prophet of Truth paraphrase the Master Chiefs exact same thoughts about the Brutes when he looked at Tartarus. So it is not the only time.

The writer must of been on crack when writing that, it just seems so dumb that a Brute is faster than an Elite
Why does it sound dumb? Because you do not like it? That is not a very good reason. Seems like you merely want that to be true. It does not sound dumb. They evolved on a planet with twice as much gravity as Sangheilios. It is perfectly believable.

and remember that in some cases, game canon overides book canon.
And there is nothing in game canon which suggests anything with respect to this. Gameplay is irrelevant. See Hylebos' post for reasons why.
You are evidently bias here. You have only retorted with personal belief and want, and Ad Hominem against the author.
But do see how people would think that brutes being faster than elites is strange? There is a deleted cutscene of Arbiter beating up a bunch Iof brutes too.
