killerdude1635 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 The only thig imbalances with elites in reach was jump height and move speed, nothing else. Shield strength was the same and so was health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 The only thig imbalances with elites in reach was jump height and move speed, nothing else. Shield strength was the same and so was health. No, sir. The recharge and strength of those two items were different from Spartan to Elite as well. But I didn't say Invasion was bad. It was meant to be as it is. I said that in Halo 3, it wasn't balanced due to the Elite's anatomy. Either way, Halo 4 is doing it right. Just as the very first Halo did.

The Director Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Now, Elites have been great to play as in Halo 2, but after that, they were a bad balancing issue. You mean Halo 3? lol Because I don't think you could play as them in Halo 2. As a matter of fact I'm sure you couldn't. Unless you mean playing as the Arbiter in the Campaign, which doesn't have anything to do with what we are talking about lol Hmm, well, I guess you're right, but they still have become a major part of the multiplayer community. Removing them removes a portion of the fanbase. Well, this is the part where you have to cut 343i some slack. This is their first Halo game (Bungie's first Halo game didn't let you play as Elite's either, btw lol) so they are trying more of a "storyline multiplayer" thing. If it works, then yay. If not, then it won't be in Halo 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi1176 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Ya not at all the only time i played as elites was in action sack in halo reach i hate playing as elites. But thats just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Director Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 The Director...wrong? Good sir! Look up Halo 2's multiplayer! Nope. The only way you can play with Elites in H2 multiplayer is through modding. I checked before I posted. lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Director Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 ...Director...I...I hope you are kidding. Please. I triple checked, and honestly there isn't a straightforward answer. I know you can on Vista H2, but I don't remember every coming across someone playing as an elite on H2 on XBL. I'll ask Twinreaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hᴜᴍᴘsᴛʏʟᴇs Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 The only thig imbalances with elites in reach was jump height and move speed, nothing else. Shield strength was the same and so was health. PROS: Elites took 5 DMR/Magnum bullets to break their shield. Also, they didn't require health packs as their health regenerated completely by itself. CONS: It seemed that (I'm sure some people will agreed) UNSC weapons were stronger against Elites than against other Spartans. An AR is devastating to an Elite.

I knew about the regen health, but the weapons seemed to do the same damage to each other. 19 at rounds to kill a spartan 19 at rounds to kill an elite.

Gundamatrix Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Glad they are gone in all honesty, irritating to play against in SWAT or BRs on halo 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re5pwning Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I dont mind that they arnt in Multiplayer (I didnt really play Invasion that much, just wasnt into it.) But I would love it if they kept it in custom games. I would also like it if they made elites armor costomizable like in halo 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's to hoping Elites will be in Custom Games and Forge, and to hoping their armor will be customize-able! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I will miss them,but at least the game is completely balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re5pwning Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 There should be. And Infection isnt Competitive. Neither is forge, or hide and seek, or jump rope, or speed halo. etc. So ya, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvi i Be Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Elites are a pain to kill in Halo 3. Eat shots and never die. Why do you think people always picked elites in swat. I'm glade they removed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loser Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 i agree with Azaxx they were dumb in halo reach. i want them like Halo 3 style to but better and improved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither is forge, or hide and seek, or jump rope, or speed halo. etc. So ya, Please, realize that the definition of competitive multiplayer in Halo is: Matchmaking, Custom Games, and Forge because you have opposing sides.

BULLIEVERS Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 It's not a complete game changer is=f they aren't in matchmaking but invasion should still stayso that people who prefure elites can still have them, and they should have elites and forrunners playable in custom games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulperi Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I really didn't like those dinos. The main reason why I don't play invasion in reach, is that I don't want to play as an elite. But I do not have anything against them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_L00s3_Scr3w Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm gonna miss playing as an Elite. But then I can just go back and play Halo 3 or Reach. I'll get used to it, just as many others will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
