Arbiters and Fleetmasters are just veterens.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

What?

Spartans are the best way to defeat the Covenant even though that wasn't why they were created.They're basically made for fighting.

How many Elites has each Spartan killed? Exactly.

  • user homepage:

CoD is a good game, even if the Halo series are better in some aspects. Anyone who insults either is just bad in that game. Grow up.

True for the most part, except the spartan IIs fought for about 2 decades with the Mjolnir IV armour (which did not have shields and was inferior in terms of effectiveness to the Mark V) and yet survived against thousands of covenant hostiles. After all, that is how they earned themselves the nickname of demon.

Btw, Spartans were not the pinnacle of humans. They were superior, but certainly not the end-all.

If someone asks you "Spartans Vs Elites", everything you have just said is useless. If it is "Humanity Vs Sangheili", then you may have a point, but a weak one. It is weak because virtually all of the Elites in the Sangheili military are the genetic paragons of their race. The Sangheili practice Eugenics similar to what the Ancient Greek Spartans did. Even then, only the strongest/smartest Sangheili are allowed to serve in the Covenant military. So comparing Spartans and the Elites in their military is most likely perfectly acceptable.

These discussions are pointless anyway. It always devolves into flamewars between chauvinist fanboys on both sides.

Never say you're bored. Never say you're satisfied with the world. Never stop doubting or questioning things. Always wonder. Always think. But always take time to drop your guard, you don't have to be smart all the time.

Actually, Spartans are better equipped mentally than Elites.

Meaning that Spartans will win most of the time.

are the elites the good guys? NO thats why theyre not expected to win. the elites only started kicking ass and chewing gum when they became the "good guys" at the end of halo 2. it is only expected that John kill bazzilions of elites because you play as him in campaign, and thus have infinite respawns. Kurt Jai Linda and Kelly are all gud guys, thats why theyre not as expendable in in the games/books. like i said if you were playing halo 1 from the perspective of arbiter you would kick just as much ass as any other spatan, why? because then you would be the good guy and not some evil many mandibeled thing
Just to let you know. You never die in Halo CE or any other Halo game. it is just reverting you back to the best spot to re-counter the enemy. For example: You enter an area with some marines, and on the first play through you kill 10 elites and then die by a grunt.(lol) On the next play through, you kill 8 elites and your marines kill 2. that doesn't mean MC killed 18 Elites. It means MC killed 8 Elites, because he didn't die that time.

good point, but why do people compare spatans and elites, why not simply sanghili vs humanity

They are. The best of the Sangheili are their military. The best of Humanity are the Spartans. To compare a Sangheili that has been allowed to serve in the military to a normal marine is probably just about as unfair as comparing a Spartan to a Sangheili serf.
