I love sniping elites with headshots in Halo: CE and Halo 2, so, I'm gonna miss being able to do it without being a rotten traitor to my team. I'll still get to do it in the old games and multiplayer though. I was just wondering if anyone felt the same.

Umm...right. It is like you have actual proof that they were being removed. And if you did, this would be a leak...which isn't allowed in the forums.

There will still be some elite sniping in Halo 3. I guess you're just one of those people who thinks that the Covenant use AIM in the heat of battle and suddenly EVERYBODY knows about the little alliance on Delta Halo.

I don't mean that elites are being removed, I am merely stating that If humans do join up with the elites, I won't be able to snipe them in most levels.

I've posted explanations as to why we will still be fighting Elites dozens of times, so I'll just abridge myself.

Not all elites will side with humans, if any besides the Arbiter and his merry band do at all. Years and years of propoganda will do that. Most elites (and grunts, and hunters...), especially the younger ones who have been exposed to anti-human propoganda for most or all of their lives, will simply splinter and regard both humanity and the Brute-led Covenant as hostile. If we (we being humans) side with any elites at all, it will most likely be the Elite elders and leadership. These elites, because of their age (assuming elites have a similar life-span as humans), have been exposed to anti-human slander for less time than their youngers, and almost certainly know more about human culture than their counterparts This is relative, of course, as the Covenant generally regard anything human, except killing them, as a waste of time. Because they know relatively more about human culture, and may even see admirable gems amongst the turds they regard humanity to be, enough to rationalize a temporary cease-fire.

I don't understand why so many people think the MC/Arbiter relationship is an ironclad cease fire between humans and elites. Seriously, this thing is going to fall apart.

No! I think that all of the Elites will side with the Humans, but that doesnt meen that they have to like eachother! They will side because Humans and Elites know what right and wrong is, and they know that the right thing to do is stop Truth and the Flood. Once again that doesnt meen they have to like eachother!

Something tells me things aren't going to work out exactly the way you're expecting. Be patient.

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 -_-

If that's the case, then go back and play Halo:CE and Halo 2!

This is a new generation now. We snipe Brutes, Jackals, Drones, and Prophets. YAY!

Hopefully in Halo 3, the elites and all AIs will be sharper and smarter.

just cause the arbiter and all of his elites turned doesnt mean they all did. and you could do it in multiplayer if you still get to choose from spartan and elite in it

Honestly, just because the Elites hate the Brutes and Prophets doesn't mean that all of a sudden they're all friendly with the humans.

The teamming up of the arbiter with Johnson and Miranda was most likely out of necessity (in the sense that if they were busy fighting each other then Tartarus would essentially kill them all).
