Subject: Elites in halo 4?

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

The new look for the Elites is just terrible. I can't believe they look that bad.

I could tell the art direction was hitting an all new low since H:CEA.

If You've read Glasslands, you would know that the elites do not LIKE us at all. Matter of fact, they shame the arbiter (Thel Vadaam)because of his interaction with humans. (I'm only 1/2 way through it so if this changes let me know.0

...what?

The art design in CEA was fantastic. The Covenant's plasma guns looked brilliant, all the human weapons looked great, even the title screen of Anniversary was awe-inspiring.

I kinda like the look the elites have now, seems like their honor and all that other junk is gone out the window.

whilst some are human sympathisers and wish to remain allied with them.

We don't know that. All we know is that a fleet of Covenant ships attacked the Dawn, and that Elites tried to kill Chief. I'd find it unlikely that there are Human sympathizers anyway.
Have you read Glasslands?

I personally think the Elites looked their best in Halo Reach. They seemed like a fearsome race of warriors. Even their lowest ranking soldiers looked powerful. They looked well built and stood tall and proud.

Now they look like weak, fragile, scaly hunchbacks.

Frank O'Connor confirmed that "the Covenant" (i.e. the member races such as the Elites, because the Covenant alliance was broken in Halo 3) will be returning and that we will fight them, although they will be "the least of our worries".

So yes Elites will return. And maybe we will fight them apparantly, although I can't see why...


I agree with this completely. Although, in my prediction, they will fight with the Master Chief to destroy whatever new threat is on the map. Elites are not a race that lose they're loyalty so easily. They figure they are extremely indebted to us. If called upon by Chief, they will fight.


If you read Glasslands it might change your opinion. I haven't but I think it say's some Elites want to fight against humanity again and some don't.
And in all honesty I don't think the Sangheili owe humanity anything, they saved our asses and we're currently weaker than we have been at any time during the Human Covenant War.
And another thing. John 117 isn't the leader of the Elites or the embassador of Humanity, he can't just call upon them like he's their leader and expect them to obey him.

I agree they may fight with us again, but not because we owe them or because they're our dogs or because Master Chief's there. They'd fight because they're an intelligent and honorable species and they know what is right for them to do.




Agreed with this guy. In glasslands the elites were made up of two groups: The separatists wanted to finish off humanity and those loyal to the Arbiter(otherwise known as Thel 'Vadam) wish to make peace and rebuild their world and culture.

I think they look like the aliens they are. They're really not supposed to be pretty-looking.

That's the San Shyumm...Somehow...Don't ask.

"Looking pretty" isn't what's wrong looking imo. They look weak and fragile. Their arms are skinny, their hands look small and their shoulders are extremely narrow. Not the look of an alien capable of matching a Spartan in terms of brute strength. Their feet are like bricks, and disproportionately large. Minor things are their sudden loss of skin pigment and the melanomas growing up their arms.



Halo wars had elites that actually looked elite.

Well the game is not out yet and they are not even in beta yet. So im pretty sure, and i hope, that they will look better in the full game, Cause i gotta admit the look pretty -blam!-. And anyways i think there are fighting chief because :

1.Some elites are allied with humans, other hate them.

2.these elites didnt receive the message that they are now allied with the humans, since they look stranded too.

3.I read that even though they knew that the great journey was a lie, they still believed in the forerunners and maybe reallied themselves with the covenant because of religion, and the prophets forgave the elites and kick out the brutes.

4. maybe the elite leader was murdered and was replaced by this other elite who hated humans.
