Poll: All things Elite (Halo: Reach Multiplayer discussion)

[Souplex]

Ultra looks the coolest.
It's a shame there isn't an Elite campaign or something. maybe DLC?

 

[Theron Julius]

Ultra! Just like good ol' half-jaw.

 

[Vrex360]

As much as I understand disappointment at the inability to play as the Sanghelli whenever you want, I have to say I rather like it this way. In the past, there's been no difference between how the Spartans and Elites play. Now they each have their own separate play style, and the player has to adjust accordingly. I think it's a worthwhile trade.

I suppose that is true, it certainly does give the Elites an identity all their own.
But of course it does still annoy me a little because I am concerned that maybe I only get to play these gametypes in system link or Xbox Live both of which are rather inconvenient for me.

Still, at least they didn't forget the Elites completely. That counts for something with me.

Ultra for me, looks awesome. Incidentally, when is Reach gonna be released?

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

My Elite will be a Ranger. It looks the coolest in my opinion.
Also I might be a Ultra just because it looks like Seran from Mass Effect.

Also there was alot of bitching on the Bungie forums about the Elites in Team Swat in Halo 3 having an unfare advantage as their heads where harder to hit from behind. It is ashame they are not available all the time, but its easier to balance normal multiplayer gameplay if they are split up.

That is true I suppose. It does mean that my people no longer have to hold back our strength so that the humans can catch up, that's something.

Snip

Thats the spirit! Good luck to you when Reach comes out.
Chow!

 

[Dyp100]

Spec-Ops and Ultra are so badarse looking, I swear to God.

I can wait to play as an Elite in Firefight, hopefully my friends won't stop being dicks and actually playing Reach instead of 3 when it comes out.

 

[Hybridwolf]

The Ultra looks best, and the ranger looks good. It does look like they've copied the sparten armor a bit, but I'm guessing it's for space/non atmosphere jobs.

And thats what the officer armor looks like? Heh. Not missing out on much if I don't get the limited editions from the looks of it. A werid looking elite helmet, and a sniper aid.

 

[imnot]

ranger looks awsome, but zeolot's a funny name, i choose you!

 

[Dyp100]

Um, what gun does the Ultra have? A Plasma Launcher?

I'd go with either the Ranger or Field Marshall.

Concussion Rifle, it's an Elite Bruteshot.

 

[TheTaco007]

Ultra or Zealot. (I like the elites with the head-plates. Reminds me of the royal guards from Halo 2...) Either one of those or the General.
Ranger is really cool, but it looks very blocky, and I'd bet about 75% of people will use it.

 

[Tanfastic]

I hope Arbiter, Honor Guard, and Heretic end up in there.

Idk what i'll use, they all look awesome except the original.

 

[ultrachicken]

Probably the one with the smallest hitbox. But the only one I would never consider using is zealot, because I think it just looks silly.

 

[Vrex360]

Yes this is somewhat true, I mean just read the description of the Minor armor in the picture. It essentially says that while he may be valiant there is a high chance of death.
Not very inspirational for all the elite minors out there I can tell you that.

 

[Dr. Feelgood]

Probably minor. Keep it basic. Since everyone else will be using the more badass armor, I'll stand out.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Personally I am kind of disappointed with the fact that I can't be a member of the glorious Sangheili race whenever I want and must be forced to settle with the lowly stinking filth that is humanity but I certainly think the armor is cool

This.
Hell, I only bought Halo 3 to play as a Sangheili. Whilst the armours here are pretty cool, especially the Ranger, I just can't see myself buying it.

 

[philosophicalbastard]

Ranger and officer are my favorite, but I'll go with the former.
