i play as an elite and i can kick anyones butt. but its not the size. they are virtually the same and the hit area for the head is the same as spartans. its seriously just a mental thing. if people think so then in reality it is to them so that how people think they are bigger.

anyways back to the post.

i would love to be like a hunter or something just different. i want different controls and strategies. thats why people want to be something differnt. i mean sure i love how halo 2 is now. but even in campaign mode ide like to a take a different perspective.

the problem here is that ppl dont like elites because they would rather play a spartan, because it represents master chief.. I dont play as an elite because it plays THE EXACT SAME WAY AS A SPARTAN... IN HALO 2, their is no difference on the feel of your character. They both act the same. It also might be the fact that the elites are easier to snipe than a spartan. In my opinion, the Elites look like -blam!- in halo 2 and they play the same as a spartan, just a diffent color HUD. Bungie should change the way both sides react or "feel", but still making the two equally balanced when playing against and with one another. If an elite felt different, or ran at a diff pace than a spartan, or seems taller, shorter, or bigger than a spartan, I would switch between an elite and spartan, but for halo 2.... They both play the same, which sucks, but im sure they are doing something about that in halo 3... Halo 3 will kick ass, Marty said that "We want this to BE THE RETURN OF THE KING"... oH YEAH, i belive these words.

Yeah thats why master chief can kill 10 elites at a time.



I doubt that, But I do understand they have bigger head's but they look cooler.

Yeah, elites do look cooler than spartans.

Yeah, but science, I don't know if you read my earlier post, but I had a member in one of my groups that did an experiment on Turf with just an SMG and distance markers with timers and everything. In the end, the elite took more damage and died more easily than the spartan model.

look we will never play as a hunter ever, they are way bigger than master chief and heavier they will have a huge adantage over the other players.



He's right[dont think I will alway's side with a Spartan]

Now to solve all this...fuss..I think bungie should make a Gametype by itself where you and everyone in the game is a Hunter, grunt, jackel, marine, ect. That way people will get something of everything they want. All grunts, all Hunters, you name it! Everyone is the same no arguing or anything of the sort. This may or may not be hard to do for Bungie, not sure.

"Nobody likes the elites thats why, u might be one but i hate them."

no, because the elites die faster and easy... because their head is where their chest is... so when they get shot with a duelie combo then they die almost instantly... that.. is why, my good friend...

Get ready to be very incredible mildly, as big as a spark, flamed.

That would be sorta stupid. It wouldn't be balanced at all. I mean, everyone would immediately want to be a hunter. Some people would want to be a marine though, to snipe the hunter. Some people may be a grunt, and become target practice for the marines and hunters. It would make it kinda like battlefield 2: MC. My opinion though, so that doesn't mean its right.

I don't presume to think you understand my theroy, there will be Unranked gametypes that include the same race in each game so in result there will be a game with 8 on 8 or 6 on 6 or 3 on 3 or whatever of hunters then there will be grunts and jackels or marines ect. Not a big fest of a marine a hunter two grunts and 4 jackels. These would be unranked so it would not attract as much as ranked gametypes.
