Am I the only one who seems a LITTLE bit dissapointed in the fact that the flood elites look almost exactly like the Halo 3 Flood Elites? Skip to 7:19

Well we have seen them before so don't expect anything new then-Is the kind of feeling I'm getting.Wonder if the Flood carriers acts like the one in halo 3 as well.

Good players work together...and no matter how good you are, you're not physic. - blade6321

Very. More than likely, they imported the model from H3 and updated it to suit their needs. As long as their body still shoots out bits and pieces like in H1, I'll let it slide.

H3 Flood with CE animations is far from terrible. No longer will we see that slow, absurd running and melee of Elite combat forms.

Anyone notice the Ultra Elite Flood (at least that's what their armor color looks like)?

Edit:

huh they all seem to have it. Doesn't make sense (or is that Flood overgrowth I'm mistaking it for?).

I like the way all of the CEA Flood look. To me they look better the the Halo 3 versions.

I like Halo...

I am dissapointed about the shotgun too.
Liked the CE Shotgun alot.

hide under the tables kids! ima drop some knowlege!
well. clearly the elite flood models is not done. how?
cause they are all white like the elites was on the early traylers, they has the combat shoulders from h3 and I think they are filler models or starting point models.

Come to think of it, in Halo PC, if played on a computer that can't support it, all the Covies would have white armor particularly the Elites.

But if it is indeed final, then it's not consistent. What happened to the armor color distinction in Halo 3?!! And why not use Elite minor blue like in Halo 2? All the brute combat forms in Halo 3 were based on minor rank.

Chill dude. A little more flood wouldn't hurt.

Halo 3 still had different colours of Elites. You just only saw Blue and Red, red less frequently. Kind of like how you never see a golden Zealot when playing as the chief but never see a red Major as the Arbiter in Halo 2.


Reach is what screwed this whole thing up. They had a good system and decided to -blam!- themselves over.

That is actually incorrect. There are two engines running at the same time. One is the old Halo: CE engine and the other is a new one.

It's not camping, it's holding the designated location.

You do realize that the game already went gold.

That's not exactly what I meant. Take a look for yourself. Actually, red was quite frequent on higher difficulties. The golden Zealot when playing as Chief is also the same. But the rarity of Elite majors during the Arbiter campaign is unusual. They never spawn on Uprising. On Great Journey, only the Banshee pilots might turn out to be majors.

I agree. What made Brute Chieftains and War Chieftains tolerable was because they are chieftains of the pack. Elite minors, majors, and ultras are regulars. Their only distinction should be shield differences and weapon usage (although I do like the Ultra Elites having distinctive helmets).
