The elites in Halo one were actually elite, they were actually hard to kill. I remember it took me 9 melees to kill a golden elite on normal once. The elites in halo 2,3 and reach are so weak, what happened?

"It is the cruelest fate, to have written words that meant well and see them made wicked and unwise. What was meant to encourage life, used instead to justify taking it."

Halo Reach fixed that somewhat.

Not particularly. Reach just made it so the mechanics make it much easier to kill the player. They didn't make the AI more intelligent or aggressive at all.

Money happened is what. They realized they could sell more copies if they dumbed everything down so multiplayer had a smaller learning curve.
