"Death is temporary. Losing is forever."
Elites are just so sexy though.
When I play as a spartan I feel like a really -blam!- up character from jersey shore in a suit of armour.
When I play as an elite I feel like a -blam!- ninja from space.
Plus the ascetic helmet is amazing.
Also its more satisfying to teabag people who trash talk you for being an elite while half way through the game your absolutely raping them cause their choice in species isn't helping the fact that they lack any type of skill.
