They are overrated spoiled pieces of garbage. Every other species is way more interesting than the elites. Ooooh big deal their based on ninjas or whatever. Brutes are way cooler and so are Jackals and even grunts.
Elites are retarded dinosaurs who can't do anything by themselves.
Jackals are way cooler than Elites in my opinion because they are badass space pirates who don't follow the covenant's dumb religion
