do elites have a disadvantage?

So I am going for the dumb zealot achievement where you have to win 10 matches in H2A and it seems like I play worse and get killed easier. Do they have a larger hit box or something?

not exaclty sure if the hitboxes are larger… but to me when i play against them it feels like an easier headshot

I think they might have a little bit of a disadvantage in H2. Maybe in H3 as well, but I know in H3 it was definitely an advantage being an elite in team swat.

I don’t think

Well I got the achievement so won’t have to play as one again thank goodness.

Headshots are more difficult from the rear as the head doesn’t stick up as much as the Spartans do.

Easier to hit = ->

(More or less a fact).
Halo 3:
Br -> Spartan
Sniper -> Elite

(Guess work and my own experience)
Halo 2A:
Br -> Elite
Sniper -> Elite

They are easier to headshot
