As most of you know, in Halo: Reach you often have the choice between playing as a Spartan or an Elite, which do you prefer?

I personally prefer to play as a Spartan. Spartans are more agile and present much smaller targets for attackers. The difference between Speed and Strength that the Elites have is marginal and not a major factor in combat, unlike the Spartan's size which is significant enough to give the Spartan an edge; especially at range. Plus, Spartans are way cooler than Elites.

I like playing as a spartan normally, smaller hit box for the head. But, I like the roll that elites get, that's a hell of an armor ability.

Spartan. They can spawn with the pistol, which is the best weapon ever. It gets you maximum style points, plus it's a fucking hand cannon.

Edit: Also, inb4 Vrex.

Elites all the way! Awesome space dinosaurs are much cooler than Spartans. Plus, look how big and strong they are in Reach!?

In Spartans vs. Elites I tend to prefer Spartan for some reason, even though elites have distinct natural advantages.

However I actually prefer the Elite gametypes, because the Elites are so much damn fun.

Answer- Neither. ODSTs baby. All the way. Fuck the aliens and fuck the super men. We're just badass drop troops.

Also we have no less than three of the Firefly cast. Representin'.

I haven't actually played Halo since the Halo 2 days (and what days they were), but I've always preferred the Elites. I definately feel more for angry aliens than power armoured HOO-RAH types...

Elites. I like Spartan starting weapons better, but I find evade to be the most useful armor ability. On the flip side, I find it's a lot easier to snipe Elites because of their massive head and I hate it. :(

Spartans, due to a deep hatred for the elites in the campaign.

Especially the gold ones with swords or concussive rifles. Bastards.

Spartan. Because I cannot drop my loyalty.
And, I love how cute my Spartan looks
How could I not pick Spartans, when I have always supported the UNSC?

See in halo 3 i LOOOOOOOVED playing as an elite cause they were big goofey and the difference was mainly aesthetic so you could just have fun with it, but in reach they made being an elite a hindrance, I still absolutely love the big goofey bastards and I will gladly play as them any day rather then a spartan.

I could go into greater detail in this post about how awesome and mighty the Holy Sangheili are, and how the ability to roll, have quick regenerative health and being able to take more damage (to an extent) and being noticeably faster has its advantages. Or how the Elites are blatantly the cooler species and that I identify with their proud warrior culture far better than I do of the Spartans, or that Elites are just COOL.
But I've actually found an image on the internet that works far better at saying, than words ever could in a million years, my exact feelings on this whole Spartan Vs. Elite debate:


There we go, that summarizes the whole thing.

Go the Sangheili!!

That said, Spartans still have their place now too, but my preferred species is always going to be the Elite.

Spartan.

Because Magnums = Fucking Cannon which shoots Giant Cannon Balls.

And because they have a smaller head.

But if Elites spawned with Magnums and had smaller heads, I would totality go for them

And I don't have a xBox.

Spartans, just because you can customise the crap outta them. Elites are still awsome aliens, especially with their mini energy sword assasinations.
