I was just thinking about how we would be fighting elites in H3. Because if Truth took all of his followers (that whole brute side of the civil war) then when MC gets to earth he's just fighting jackles and brutes and drones. And then the Arbiter (assuming you will play as him again) would just be fight brutes and jackles to get to earth. Idk, it just seems like fighting elites was a pretty critical component to the games. What do you guys thing? Will there be someway we get to fight them? Personally i would be really disappointed not fighting them on earth at all.

i doubt that i'm sure they will come up with something if not elites then they'll balance out that part of the enemie with something new, like the brutes and drones were new in H2 pehaps they wont be covs pehaps buried forunner s**t but whatever it is they wont leave a chief equal out (know there not equal but i mean strong, sheilded fast etc)

They'll probably replace the Elite with another human-like alien.

even on legendary, the elites were still too easy too beat.

I hope we'll get to play some alien like elites, i just don't think we'll actually fight elites.

I personally think that the elites as a whole race will "join" forces with the humans. Not so much become close alliers, but more so of the elites becoming some sort of a rebel race, or some type of nomad, just they wouldn't attack humans (Maybe, maybe not), but will certainly help them against the covenant forces.

I think that, judging by the fact that the elites think that humans are trash, they would be allies, but they would constantly be fighting and killing each other. If it wasn't for the Arbiter and Master Chief's calming them down, they would be back to open war.

Yea, I just couldn't picture the armies of earth and the elite armies killing truth and driving the rest of the "bad" covenant off of earth, and then all of the elites and humans being too cool with each other

No, we wont be fighting the Preeminent (Elites, Grunts, and Hunters + Arbiter)
But The Covanant (Brutes+Jackals+Drones+Prophets) might find a new race and assimilate it.

Dont forget the Engineers and Drinol races, the Drinol might be the new Covie race for H3, Engineers will work for both sides tho.

Yeah...if you use the PP BR combo...noob. lol.
(of course i cant say much, since I use that too, but how else can you kill them? Except with a FRG, RL, or plasma nades, and sniper guns.)

Sorry but uh.. Whaaa!?
Hardly... At least, not without some plasma pistol..

I'll say this again, the elites never really joined the humans.. They joined 2 of them. Wow. Whoo. I still think it'll be a 4 way battle now.

"You have been measured, you have been weighed: And you have been found lacking."

What Part of. Only High Charity is Influenced. Ships inbound to Earth or at Earth would be unawares of the situation.

And yes... The Elites are easy to beat... Even on Legendary.
Heroic is a laugh.

I'm pretty sure they will stil fight elites. Religious fanatics that have been fighting a enemy they despise entirly tend to be stubborn to change. (...cough....Middle East..cough..cough...)
