Subject: Should the eliets be more "animalistic" in Halo 3?

The cake is a lie!

I mean I enjoyed playing the Arbiter levels, and I like how Bungie is trying to dig deep into the Covenant's side of the story, but I don't like how they have to make the elites more human like to do so. I miss (and I think I speak for everyone when I say this...) the way an elite's deathcry sounded back in Halo: Combat Evolved. And who wouldn't like to hear "WORT WORT WORT!" one more time hmm... I realize that it's unlikely for this to happen in Halo 3 (due to the fact that Bungie will probably want to dig even deeper into the Covenant's side of the story), but I just think it would be cool. Maybee the elites can act human like only in cutscenes, and during gameplay can act more like they did in Halo 1.

What do you think?

You should of made up your own instrument. You could have named it the PolarLighting -a-phone. People would buy it and they would all be like "Awh, He's so cool for inventing the PolarLighting-a-phone."

I want them to seem more wild and out of control.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

i agree with you. the elites probably had limeted technology before they found the forerunner technology. so they should have animal insticts. like charging,

When I said I wanted the eliets to be more animalistic I didn't mean I wanted them to be mindless idiots. I meant I wanted them to be more aggressive.

I think They should be more agressive and animalistic in combat only. Then when they interact non violently they are more sophisticated. Kind of like a berserking animal. And remember if they dont bring back the arbiter (which many do not want him back) then all we are going to see is them fighting and maybe a little bit of talking to them here or there. Remember the Elites arent very bright. None of the covenant except the engineers can think creatively. That is why they rely on forerunner technology to advance. So really they are not very smart and are more like animals.

The elites in CE were better, they didn't talk to you in english, well, 'cept for the grunts. The elites would jabber at you in other languages and try to beat your face in, they were animalistic. I think they mixed the elites old style with the elites new style. In CE there was that barrier between the humans and the elites, it made you dislike them more and to me it made the game alot more fun. I know to much about them now, their cause, their stupidity. In CE they were these alien monsters that boarded your ship and were killing your soldiers, it maked you angry almost to where all you want to do is get a gun and some nades and take to em. In halo 2 that factor was missing, I mean, you handed their butts to them on a silver platter when you blew up the halo, now their back and want more, but, whats this, they can speak your language? How did that happen, did they take English 101 or something, I mean they don't even have an accent for goodness sake. I don't think I explained myself very well but, there's just that missing factor that made me dislike them.

I agree, CE elites were alot more fun but they are a more civilized being

Down, down to hell and say that I sent you there...

I came into the world with my legs forward and a woman cried "he was born with teeth!"

"I had no father I am like my father...I had no brother I am like my brother...And this word, "love" which old farts call divine be resident in men like you -blam!-. But not in me, I am my mother-blam!- self, alone."

You Are an Idiot

Judging from the spelling and grammar skills of half the idiotic post, I think amoeba are more advanced than you people. The Elitest are a race of highly evolved warriors. They are like the samurai of the Covenant. Do you think the ancient Samurai were animals? You're an idiot.

Original Poster: You do NOT speak for everyone. The Elites speak in prose, why in the -blam!- would they be "animalistic," hmm?

they translated the language so you could understand them. would you really want to hear WORT WORT WORT, arf arf, woof woof, urgh, hiss in the opening cutscenes, and not to mention all the arbiter levels?

I don't know about you but I like it the way it is. The Covenant are highly Intelligent creatures. Why would Elites, which have Religion, traditions, martial arts, Goverment, Justice System, Military, Advanced technology, have to act more like animals? Brutes are as close as it gets to animals.

Maybe if they huffed, WORTed, and spoke coventanese in MC levels, but spoke human in Arbiter levels, we'd be cool there.
It is most certainly fine the way it is.

I think they should stay intelligent. Brutes are the animals.

  • 07.05.2006 2:30 PM PDT

If any creature needs to be an animal, it's the brute. The elites have brains.

i thought the idea was that you started to be able to understand them in halo CE, because cortana had deciphered part of their language when on the T&R.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

They were slightly harder to kill in Halo 1 than in Halo 2. Bungie can make them like that.

Yeah the elite's in halo 2 always yelling things out in translated english really ruined them as aliens to me. I personally don't mind mild elite/ human communication, but the whole feel of both how they talk and move makes them feel more like humans instead of savage predator style aliens.

BUNGIE WANTED IT THAT WAY. Bungie wanted you to see the Elites in a more human-like way.
