yolo? -blam!- that! YOLTOSS!! You Only Live Twice or Some -blam!-

Spec OPs were my favorite through the first two.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

The Goldies just had style.

Camo Flood Elite, those creeped me out

Elite Zealot, they're so fun to mess around with. i love manipulating them to kill their allies :)
it's also impressive a swing from their sword will destroy a banshee

I know, right ? Was thinking I was sweet when...the unthinkable happened. Simplistic swipe and my Banshee dominance was done.
try this, exit your banshee as soon as possible the next time he launches to slice your banshee, if you do it in time he won't attack it because no one's it yet the banshee will kill him on contact

That's one of the best ways yes.

But for people who like stylish kills,

drive the Banshee up to the Goldie at full speed which should cause him to dive, get out, then go up to him before he recovers, circle him, and whack him in the back.

not bad, not bad
nothing beats exiting a speeding warthog to immediately melee an elite in the back though

Well it isn't as easy as it sounds or I would have had a video featuring multiple successful attempts like this. Often, the Banshee ends up splattering the Goldie or I misjudge the distance and end up not reaching the Goldie in time.

I'll try to get around to it before Thursday.

What difficulty should I do it on? I'm thinking of doing it on the Two Betrayals bridge Goldie that I brought to the end of the level.

Well, I do have a bunch of Stealth Elites to deal with before I can get Goldie. But I've already got the Banshee (killed everyone at the final battle before claiming it) so it shouldn't be much of a problem.

i so hated the zealots on legendary. they were such a pain. they took like 8 rounds of sniper ammo just to take down

which is why you gotta have a PP at your disposal

Let's not forget how far they jump - quite scary. I don't know how many times I repeated "Oh -blam!-, oh -blam!-, oh -blam!-" really quickly; but it seemed like a lot.

  • 03.06.2012 3:55 PM PDT

Friggin deal with it

As far as actual gameplay went, I would have to say the Gold Zealots were the funnest on Legendary.

This.

They were far more dangerous on Easy (if you were trying to bring them around the level) since you had a slow shield recharge rate and they were reluctant to pursue you. I've seen people bring down the Goldie down the elevator on AotCR and holy -blam!-, it is super frustrating on Easy difficulty. On Legendary, they actively pursue you and all shields get a faster recharge rate so it's much more easier to bring him down.

Point of the matter: active, energetic enemies are fun.

Fixed that for you. Goldies are the easiest Elites in the game to assassinate. A berserking Goldie is a dead Goldie if you know when to strike.

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.
(Proud LONGTIME owner of the PC and Xbox versions of Halo CE)

All of them! :D But I quite enjoy fighting the Minors or Majors the most. But the Zealots are quite fun as well!

Spec Ops Elites are definitely the most badass of the Elites.

Special Operations Elites. Alternatively known as:
Automated Plasma Grenade Chucking Machines

All you need to know. Well actually, you should also know.. I'm Russian.

I voted Zealot, because for a long time they were my favorite Elites, and the image of a Gold armored Elite roaring and charging me is something I will remember till the final years of my life. Also in HCEA I think 343i did an exceptional job with the Elites, they looked like Halo Wars Elites, and Reach Elites combined with something feline about it. The color of the Zealots' armor made them metaphorically look like lions, especially with the yellow eyes. But I am reconsidering my vote. SpecOps Elites were always pretty cool, more so in CE. I always like the idea of killing every single enemy in the last part of the level Keyes on Legendary, it is quite enjoyable. I almost did it once, but then as soon as I got in the 'shee 4 more SpecOps Elites charged out of the door behind me. SpecOps Elites, look pretty rad with their sleek black armor, and its pretty cool that they can throw grenades.

true, true. also saves you ammo (if you're playing on easy or normal) just manipulate goldie locks to kill his fellow covanent, quite hilarious. if you're pro at it you can even get him to smite vehicles!

Industrial Strength , No Brain Required.

That Zealot Elite when you escape Silent Cartographer.

By the way I'll choose the pop-corn bag flood form, these things always explodes at the wrong moment.
