Subject: HALO 2 had the best looking elites

Honorable Member Yay!

Halo 1 & 2 - Elites Look Cool

Halo Reach - Tries hard to make Elites look cool

  • 07.14.2011 12:47 AM PDT

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

The best Elite I ever saw was the Councillor at the end of Gravemind.


Messed up -blam!- of an elite that was. Elite honor guard chest with councillor head, and Rtas Vaduum (Two mandibles) face.

But that was back in the days.


Are you suggesting that the cannon is to change over time? Is that not a contradiction?

Now Chief's a badass. But Noble Six was a badass from the start. So Elite minors shouldn't even be a problem for him. The Lone Wolf cutscene depicts someone who can handle multiple Elites with no problem.


Unless you are suggesting that we lay dawn the cannon for this one too, I'd have to disagree with you. The Master Chief was specifically selected off of his planet to become a spartan because he was the most badass child that Halsey could find. (I believe it was her, at least.) Thus, chief was arguably badass before noble six. Not to mention, Spartan IIs have a physical advantage to the Spartan IIIs. They had to rely on their technological advancements in the books, even then were ripped apart by mere sentinels. (Ghosts of Onyx for reference.)

Tying everything back to Elites, they are most powerful, and have obvious alterations throughout the series. Would you argue that they are better looking in Halo 2, or not?

EDIT: Quote failure.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I didn't really like how they were so hunched over, but I did love the color schemes.

Alright, I concede. You know more about Halo canon than I do. =( I forgot about Chief's past and eventual induction, damn it! I'm a gameplay person, not a canon expert. I always forget that.

But I still think Reach was a huge departure in Elite depiction, both combat and graphically.

Anyways, I think 2 and CE Elites are about the same and 3 comes in second place.
