Why are they so gosh darn tough? You can shoot a rocket launcher at them at point blank range and they're still alive. You can kill a Hunter with a rocket launcher round and kill 'em but not with the Gold Elites. Whats the deal?

Umm well they are the highest Elite Rank so one would think they are rather stronger than the normal ones...

True but a hit with a rocket Launcher should still be a KO for them.

A Zealot thier true name have and are capible of using overshields and active-camo. And they are the the ship commanders/Generals of the Covenant Navy/Army. Does that answer your question?

Which makes you wonder...why don't the Covenant just give the shields the gold Elites wear to ALL the Elites?

That would be very expensieve, and the Covenant wouldn't give such an equipment to guys that haven't proven their loyalty.

  • 05.25.2006 2:24 AM PDT

They have the overshields, 400% health, they can jump as high and far as flood, and are stronger than flood. They can kill ghosts and banshees in one hit.

Plus whenever they use a Plasma Rifle it's always at its fastest rate and never seems to overheat. I used to pick them up after I killed a Zealot thinking I had some kind of super weapon; didn't turn out that way when I used it against dozens of Flood in a small room.

A Zealot - thier true name have and are capible of using overshields and active-camo. And they are the the ship commanders/Generals of the Covenant Navy/Army. Does that answer your question? These are my elites. Thier lives matter to me yours does not. That makes two of us. Hmm.

Commander/General? of the Covenant Navy/Army?
You gave more than one answer there...

Exactly.

hat would be very expensieve, and the Covenant wouldn't give such an equipment to guys that haven't proven their loyalty

Expensive? this is a Fact?
Loyalty? If the Covenant wanted to win the war they would give all of the Covenant overshields. I have also seen Grunts with Camouflage and that should be on the same money line as Shields.

Red Elites have stronger Shields than Blue Elites...but the Red Elite does not have an Overshield...

Here is the order (weakest to strongest)

5-Blue- Relatively weak armor, with a slow rate of fire. More prone to take cover and hide.

4-Red- More agressive. Shield is slightly stronger.

3-Black (Active Camo)- Hides until enemies back is turned. Aggressiveness makes up for weak shield. Sword wielding.

2-White (Ultra)- 400% health, with an over shield. Extremely aggressive. When death is eminent, drops current weapon and pulls out Energy Sword.

1-Gold (Zealot)- The strongest of the Elites. Almost identical to the Ultra, except for a weaker shield and incredible agressiveness.

Note: All Elites at some point will weild an Energy sword. The only one I have not seen is the Red Elite. I played Heroic on Outskirts and there was a Blue Elite weilding an Energy sword. He was taken out pretty quickly. (I know you guys are talking about H1. I'm just posting what I know about Elites. Sorry if this offended anyone.)

Ultra's have the best shields and I'm not saying that just because the Spec-Ops Leader never dies. You can sticky grenade one hit kill a Zealot in H2 but not an Ultra, dunno about Council Members and Honor Guard Hybrids.

Zealots in Halo:ce are sometimes pretty tough to kill. It's best to use plasma grenades or the noob combo against them. On legendary, they must have something like triple freaking overshields...I hate the gravity lift room in the Truth and Reconciliation level on Legendary where a bunch of Zealots and Stealth Elites all seem to pop out from every possible direction at once. My most satisfying kill of a gold Elite was on one of the high up bridges in the Control Room level. I peppered it with AR rounds and then tossed a random grenade which landed a little to its right. Anway, the ensuing explosion overloaded its shields and the blast sent it flying off the bridge to ground below where it jack knifed off the tip of a large boulder and crumpled in a bloody heap on the snow.......O.o pwned?

You forgot about Rangers. They had Active Camo in Halo CE and Jetpacks in Halo 2.

There arent rangers in CE. Those are minors. If you have seen the movie in the map pack then you know what I mean.
