so, shame on me for saying that, but i think that if we can play with elites aswell as spartans in MP, then it should be balanced, really

we'll all agree that killing an elite in SP or even in MP is WAY easier than a mc, huh ? so, why the hell are elites that underpowered ? why players that likes elite more should be easier to kill ?
elites' head are bigger, they are easier to shoot, etc, we all know why they are weaker whereas spartans are the opposite : they are way better

so i think bungie should try to balance, like giving a little handicap to elites ? making them run faster, or have stronger melees ..... or more shield and health ? (not something crappy like 3 times stronget than mc, but something slightly better : let's say spartans have 100 shield point, then elites would have 125 shield point, same with health)

who agrees ?

It's a matter of size. You can't shoot an elite in the head from behind... so it is balanced. You just can't see it. TACTICS MY FRIEND! TACTICS!

I think giving elites handicaps will just make them more unbalanced.

so the best thing to do while being shot by a BR is runing away showing my back ?

besides, i know some people that manage to shoot me in the head (while im an elite) while im running away from them, TURNING my back of course

nah, because spartans are overpowered in MP since they are harder to kill, its unfair

No, no, they're right, you can't spot an Elite's head from behind. And technically, giving anything a handicap makes it weaker.

No, for ball cames, CTF, assault... and when you block for the person with the flag/ball/bomb; If you're behind them they can't kill you with a head shot so it takes longer.

elites are bigger than mc, so they are easier to shoot
