Subject: Predators vs. Sangheili

Generalizations.
Helping idiots hate other idiots since people have existed.

Depends.

Is the elite a roid-cycling bodybuilding champion?

But please, don't use the non-canon gameplay of the Halo games to say that Elites are weak.


Cutscenes are canon.

Just an average blue armor elite? Predator

A Zealot or Spec Ops elite? Could go either way.


If we're going with a high-ranking sangheili I think we should use a high-ranking yaut'ja too. Which pretty much means the yaut'ja still wins, unless we're using a lower-rank one as a handicap.

Predators.

Elites:

1) rely on numbers
2) are disciplined which can be a bad thing because they are predictable
3) rarely use makeshift tactics (i.e. taking Jackal shields)

Whereas Predators often work alone, can be unpredictable, and can use surprise tactics (i.e. mimicking sounds).

A lone Elite would be a piece of cake.

If it's a Spec Ops Elite, they're often found in groups so it could go either way.

If it's a Zealot, it depends. Are we talking CE-era?

I will agree that a Zealot or Spec Ops Elite with energy sword would have a good chance of taking out a Predator of the rank Young-blood, similar to the ones you see in the AVP movie.

But once you get into higher rank Predators, it gets quite powerful, with staff-men being Predators that soloed three xenomorph hives and the queens in them.

Easter Egg Hunter. Apprentice Tricker/Glitcher (learning from Grumpy and Sliding Ghost).

Trying to get Waypoint to update Halo 3 stats in detail like here. Now no one can see that my Halo 3 Spartan no longer looks like my Reach Spartan.

Really want to be a Heroic member or have a title. :/

We talking elite Minor, Spec Ops, Zealot or what?

If it were a Spec Ops, General, Zealot, Councilor, or Arbiter, than most likely elites. Honor Guards or Ultras might get a shot in. Anything else is done for.

And are we talking canon, or according to games. If according to games, which game?

Gameplay is never used in vs debates, unless the OP specifically states it.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Elite with a sword, 'nuff said.

Oh god Reach cutscenes... those were cringe worthy :/

Go by books and its a different fight.

What about Halo Wars where the Spartans easily decimated the Elite's large numbers?

Or this one where they slowly advance forwards and die from a couple of bullets.

One thing I want to say about all the talk of the Elites having motion trackers:

If the Elites have motion trackers, why can Chief (or any other Spartan) sneak up on them and assassinate them?

I think really, Arbiter was the only one with a motion tracker, and even that was most likey just for gameplay.

Gets picked off in seconds by an invisible yaut'ja.

Yes. Unless one of the books states that they have a motion tracker, gameplay doesn't give them one.
