Which type of elite in reach do you reckon is the most hardcore? I have excluded Field Marshall for a number of reasons and BOBs, well... they're overqualified.

Ultras. They aren't the highest rank, but they sure as -blam!- act like it. They dodge more, have better aim, their shields don't seem to go down at all(probably the dodging) and they are aggressive when they know you're weak.

Spec-ops suck in general, zealots are reskinned Majors, and Generals are almost purely aggression.

Zealots are rare and pretty strong too

NOT INTO THE LONG GRASS!

Zealots are my favorite, and they're tough to fight.

But I got to give it to the Ultras. Just because of their numbers. Imagine if all the Ultras in the game were replaced with Zealots and Generals.

Holy Crap...

110% If they're 100m from you, they will run cross map just to smack you :/

Ultras. They have plasma noob tubes for hands.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

None of them are "hardcore". It's the sheer numbers that are difficult; individually, none of them pose any real problem whatsoever.

"Wake me . . . when the darkness fades . . ."

Ultra's always seem to cause me the most problems out of the ones listed.

  • 12.07.2011 3:17 PM PDT

Field Marshall Elites are the most badass

CE spec ops were crap. 2 shots to kill was lulz worthy.

Zealots if they sneak up on you with an energy sword.

  • 12.07.2011 3:49 PM PDT

I want my elephant back.
Give it to me now!
(Please?)

Me.

lol

...U-U-Ultras...

  • 12.07.2011 3:57 PM PDT

Boltshot = mini shotgun

Ultra. They always carry good weapons, are constantly evading shots, seem to always be in the lead, and are a -blam- to kill on LASO.

  • 12.07.2011 4:08 PM PDT

Oh God ULTRAS!!!! When i saw them for the first time while playing firefight i thought to myself this is going to be easy. Well I got my ass handle to me.

Those were stealth spec-ops. He's talking about the pure black spec-ops.

Well, then I agree in that case. Even though that isn't a fair comparison.

fight with minors (easy)
fight with airbornes (easier)
fight with spec-ops (i can kill them with my motion sensor off)
fight with ultras (a bit hard but can be killed with skill)
fight with zealots (freaking hard)
fight with generals (better bring a friend with you!)
fight with field marshalls (mommy!!!!)

  • 12.07.2011 4:24 PM PDT

H-H-H-Hetric.

  • 12.07.2011 4:25 PM PDT

When a zealot can take two full clips from a FRG and still have shields left, you know they're BA.
Mythic Zealots>Mythic Ultras.

Spec Ops. Their meant for the dirty, assassin work. And, in my opinion, I think their the most hardcore because, it's hard for me to even stand a fight against them.

Que Custodiet Ipsos Custodes

--Tea-baggers are funny, it's as if they think they are far more hetero than the people who do it in real life, because they use their e-ballsacks to do it. What a manly victory dance.

Aw, I was hoping this was going to be a canonical discussion, not just an elites-only-in-reach topic.

hard-core: (adj.) intensely loyal. Problem?

Heretic Elites and their smart rockets of doom.
