Shut up about stargate! Halo is like alot of things, like starcraft, but just be quiet about stargate. This thread is about the arbiter showing to much skin.

Hasn't the arbiter used the same armor for like, ever? Remember there have been hundreds of arbiters before the one we played as. Keep it the same.

yeah but hes not the arbiter anymore the aribiters served the prophets and now that the elites are fighting the prophets i see no reason for him to keep the armor plus honor guard and council armor is stronger than the other kinds

The Arbiter's armour is all covenanty and religous, so he might just abandon it because of the whole Covenant prophets turning on the Elites, great journey ending in death etc.

I think he should get regular Elite armor but you have to be able to tell him apart wene he is talking with another elite.

yeah but that would make him the same rank as any other elite he was a commander before being the arbiter so i only see it natural for him to become an honor gaurd cause their a higher rank than he was before and after all hes done saving the coucil elites and killing the brute chieftan that he deserves to be an honor gaurd? or council elite?

The rank of Arbiter, introduced in Halo 2, is bestowed upon an Elite by the High Prophets during a time of serious need. The Arbiter acts as the Prophet's will, undertaking missions for the Prophets during incidents such as the Taming of the Hunters, the Grunt Rebellion, and most recently, during the threat of Heresy, he has emerged to lead the Covenant to victory. Many, especially Grunts, see the Arbiter as their Savior, and their peers consider him the "Will of the Prophets" or, in his military role, the "Blade of the Prophets". Every Arbiter was "created and consumed in times of extraordinary crisis", and has been martyred in the undertaking of his momentous tasks. The corpses (or perhaps only memorials of some sort) are housed in identical caskets stacked upon each other in the great Mausoleum of the Arbiters; it may be seen as a testament to the length of time the Covenant has been in place by the fact that the creation of an Arbiter seems to be a rather rare occasion, and yet there are hundreds of caskets in the Mausoleum. In the center of this room a silently levitating pod contains the sacred armor of the Arbiter, highly decorative and fully functional despite its apparent age.

The role of Arbiter can also be viewed as a punishment for Elites who have done terrible wrong in the eyes of the Prophets. They are usually sent on the missions that are the most dangerous and would bring certain death - the Arbiters tend to be skilled warriors, and would gladly go on these suicidal missions for redemption of honor in death.

My friends and I were conducting extensive research into the arbiter crisis of his armor and by converting the variables into solutions, we managed to stumble across some intruiging data. Tarturis burned the arbiter with that pedastle of power as we halologists call it and by doing so made his need for a kind of respiratory system. He now needs that certain armor or he will die. The shields of elites also actually create radiation according to halohistoryforyou.com so we have concluded that there is also a chance that the radiation is too much for his burned flesh to handle. What do you think.

i think if he was going to die in any other armor cuz his skin is burnt then theyd all die because you know eventually theyd be wounded anyway

Stop this whole emo vs gangsta argument. Gangsters are arogant immitating -blams- that I would have no issue removing, and emos are just miserable.

None compare to black metal...our fate is decided...stops singing of self pain or speaking to a rythm and learn to hate others that personally did something against you.

It takes more talent to rap than it does to scream your head off.

i agree with ur post but ur siggy is just awefull.
rap owns u emo


Rap sucks. Rap is not music, it's gibberish. If you like it, great, -blam!- off and listen to it, but leave everyone else alone.

Its easy to say something sucks. But its harder to say something sucks and back it up..... at least for someone like you.
