So i dont know about everyone else but there’s been a big drop off on the elites. They went from the gladiators that used to devastate humanity to freaking evil henchmen that are just that easy. What happened to the elites who conquered human planets one by one and were just tactically and technically superior. Doesnt sit right with me honestly and it bugs me. Elites were one of the species that made me love halo besides Spartans, vehicles, marines, and all that awesome stuff.
They dont even look like elites anymore. What the hell happened to the minor?! Or the ultra? Look at the awesome reach models. The general, officer, zealot. Every elite looks just terrible.
I’ve never seen elites get mowed down so easily in cutscenes like ive seen in Halo 5. They were never that easy. And dont say “Osiris is owning them because they’re the new breed spartan 4’s that are just bad -Yoink-.” They’re ot the avengers to be kicking -Yoink- and the elites arent some generic aliens or enemy to be owned. If spartan II’s cant do that than i believe osiris cant either. IN GAME not in lore. IN GAME. Besides that i love the game. Great multiplayer and campaign looks ok expect for what i mentioned of course ^
And if anyone can tell me what happened to the shipmaster from halo 3 after the events in halo 3 i would really appreciate it.
So much to say… I agree with some things and disagree with other things… Now there are still elites wearing original trilogy armor post halo 3 and minors are still a thing but with it being post halo 3… You have to realise that there is ofcourse gonna be different armor designed and used in the post human covenant war era… also the storm class is kinda the new minoor in a sense… there are of course classic armor looking minor elites still… Ultras are probably still around but what faction uses ultras is another matter… also with it being post human/covie war… some positions are gonna be replaced/renamed. The old armor and classes/ranks are still around in the lore but we cant expect much in the game because well they have to make a game by the end of the deadline and making more models take time regardless of whether we like it or not… I’m sure in halo 6 we be seeing more variantions and classic incarnations that we’d like to see armor wise for the elites in the future… Now elite AI, I can agree with halo 4s ai, cant say for 5 because i havent gotten to handle it yet… But definently want the original trillogy elite ai but better back in the future if not for 5… but thats if there are enemy elites still alive after 5… or if we get a spinoff… Now for Rtas(shipmaster from 3 and specops leader in 2) well we dont know but there will be a book covering that called Halo: Shadow of Intent.
