Subject: The elites are big in Halo 4.

I wanted to become a recognized member of the flood, then I took an arrow in the knee.

Literally, they are huge. They must stand atleast 10-11 feet tall. I must have failed Sangheili Anatomy back in school. Aren't they supposed to be as tall as master chief? He looks like a shrimp compared to them now!

Yes, I'm a furry. And yes, I like men. So what?

Elites stand at around 9". John is about 7"5'

In Reach, you played as an average size human. The elites looked like they stood 2.5-3 feet taller than you. In halo 4, playing as a 7.5 foot master chief, they STILL look like they stand 2.5-3 feet taller than you. Did they grow or sumfin?

Average size? The Spartan IIIs in Noble Team are around the same size as John. A couple of centimeters shorter, actually.

Elites average 7 foot, 4 inches - 8 foot, 6 inches, look at Halo 3, then look at Halo 4, notice the sizes?

MC is only 7 foot, 2 inches in armour. Without it, he's only 6 foot, 10.

I assumed they were average sized humans because they were as tall as ODST...

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure in the lore that Spartan IIIs were around 6 feet or so. Spartan IIs were the ones that stood 7 feet tall.

There was one Spartan who was a head taller than John, making him 8 feet tall. I think his name was Sam or something?

The objective of war is not to die for your cause. It is to make your enemies die for theirs.

They seemed small in Halo 2 and 3 because Bungie made them hunch over to make them seem shorter for game balancing purposes because those are two of the only games where elites are playable and are on the same level as spartans.

I apologize in advance for all the crappy jokes I make.

I think on the first books they said they were as tall as MC (210 cm, approximately), but since Reach they've grown to make them look more menacing, or scarier, or something.
