Halol 4 Elite:
-dumb. They're only hard in cqc but that's because they don't do turning melees anymore
-feral looking. It's only going to get worse
-horrible dialogue. Their responses, once you get to know them, are repetitive and I don't think IWHBYD even does anything
-cheaper than Reach. Spam a bunch of fuel rod gun Generals or give a sword Elite lunge or make them all rush you if you camp from a distance (which is the best approach in Spartan Ops)
Honestly, the Halo 3 Elites were only bad because of their hunch, nerfed melee frequency, lackluster sword swings, impulsive charges, slow and frequent grenade throws, and supercharged diving speed.
Even in this bad state, they could still dominate (ok I kidding. You had to arm them with swords for them to kill Flood). They just lost a huge part of badass.
Reach Elites were also bad (fell for Holograms, less graceful melees, nothing special about the higher ups other than their awesome armor, repetitive dialogue) but they were convincing and they did strafe a lot now that I think of it.
