Force Species in Halo 3 Swat Matchmaking

This should’ve been done 15 years ago. Spartans and Elites have different hitbox configurations. Have an Elite Swat like how there’s an Elite Slayer in Halo: Reach. They could spawn with Carbines or something.

But the game feels too inconsistent as it is.

The elite is the swat cheatcode for Halo 3

Do they have a different hitbox? I thought they had the same one.

They have the exact same one, including how the body moves when they’re moving forward.

Spartans put their rear-shoulder plate up to cover part of their head when running forward. Elites replicate that. It makes them both harder to headshot from behind.

Anyone who’s having issues headshotting Elites and blaming it on anything other than their skill is lying.

the only difference is in arrangement, but it’s not nearly as aggressive as people make it out to be (i/e the head is a bit more forward on elites than spartans, but not by enough to overcome the games bullet magnetism and auto-aim)

the bigger complaint is and has always been visors: spartans have a big “shoot me here” target if they’re not wearing a helmet with a smaller visor while elites typically have no visor at all or one about the size of EOD. imo the reality is it’s purely psychological, and thanks to that elites are targeted above spartans making playing elite more of a handicap than a boon, and bad players more likely to get punished hard by the elites teammates and blaming the elite for it.

They are the same SIZE but placed differently. I would need to see the collision models but I suspect that since the Elite’s head is move forward further if it were to look down it would tilt at a greater angle.

I mostly agree but afaik the M+KB doesn’t have aim assist. I’m not feeling any. Maybe with a controller the auto-aim would make up for any hitbox rearranging but not on M+KB.

iirc it has at least some nowadays since I remember the lack of any was an issue during the original flights, but it definitely is nowhere near close to what controllers have.

Really? I’ll have to look in the settings in that case. It may be something I need to toggle.

I always win in a game against dinosaurs. Stealth is key, and their giant body’s aren’t built for it.
