I play as an Elite in the Halo Multiplayer. I think they are awesome, in short. And I have noticed, that I am severely outnumbered. Have other Elite players noticed this?

Also, have you ever been met with prejudice because you play as one?

It's been a while since I played Halo on line, I found most of the prejudice is from 10 year old children who it's cool to be racist. But you usually get that when you play as a Spartan aswell. Which is why I mute everybody before a game starts.

Where is Vrex360 when you need him?
Anyway, I noticed that not many people play as Elites. People are sometimes... 'nasty' to people who do play as Elites.
They say it is the 'nooby' choice, etc.
If anything, it is harder to play as an Elite... get to be a bigger target...
I no longer play Halo 3. Hell, I don't go on my 360 much anymore...

I don't play Halo much at all, but I believe people dislike Elite players because they're harder to get headshots on.
Or something like that.

Either way, I play as a Spartan because I prefer having all ten fingers on the screen, not just six.
Six looks weird.

I used to love playing as Elites, until I was being called a Dinosaur by an entire Custom Games lobby. I've never gone back, I can't endure their hate again...

I generally play as a spartan in Halo 3. The hatred towards elites seem to be from the fact that people have a harder time hitting their head which is crucial in SWAT.

It looks like I'll be playing mostly Elite in Reach though with their new design and advantages over the spartans.

I only did play as a Spartan. That is because I didn't know how to change my appearance.

I think elites are cool - I play as a spartan in the campaign, so whats wrong with a little change. I also have the most obnoxious color scheme imaginable - Gold/Yellow with Purple trim - I walk around the map like a bloody lighthouse for bullets, but I don't really care, because IMO I look coooool :)

Elites are allegedly harder to headshot.

OT: I can't say anything on that. Except for the fact that Elites are, indeed, very very cool.

Also, way to go with the misleading title. I thought it was an elitist thread, as opposed to thread on Halo Elites.

Here I was hoping for a discussion about Elite.

Instead it's about Halo, it would seem.

I am dissapoint... son

Seems like Elites are finally getting to show their true power in Reach. They're gonna be taller, faster and have stronger shields than the Spartans.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like you'll have a choice. From what we've been told so far there will only be these 3 scenarios:

> Elites vs Elites
> Spartans vs Spartans
> Elites vs Spartans

So there doesn't appear to be any mixed teams, implying you can't choose whether to be a Spartan/Elite when you want.

Like they said above:

Vrex! COME OUT TO PLAY-AY!


I always played Elite. If people say its unfair, fuck 'em. They'll say EVERYTHING is unfair, unless they use it themselves. I like the look much better. Elites are fucking sweet looking.

For me, Halo is literally a time killer, its short sweet and shiney, not unlike an apple. But I find, that being an elite, spartan players will try and order you out of vehicles so that they can use them. Then it again, it might just be that they are full time dip shits. who knows.
