To fight that is, I went back and played a bit of campaign, they were so much cooler! They moved, they reacted, they were smart, they were FUN!
Does anyone agree?
The Elites in Reach were rather frustrating IMO. They evaded all the time, making it a pain in the butt.
Elites in Reach were far from engaging.
But they were cooler.
They made a sport out of kicking me in the face.
Never forget.
The Elite in Reach were a lot of fun to fight. When you fought them on equal footing they were savage and when the Ultras would drop it was scramble time for a power weapon or prepare to get face kicked into the next spawn point.
The elites of halo 4 are complete idiots. You might notice in spartan ops if they kill you while you are in a vehicle, they will continue to shoot even after you are dead destroying that vehicle in the process and sometimes killing themselves through the explosion. This is especially dumb when you are driving a wraith or warthog. In reach they would throw you out of the warthog and drive it/use the gun on the hog if they could every chance they got. In halo 4 they WILL NOT get in human vehicles. If they kill you when you are driving a covenant vehicle they will ignore it or destroy it instead. Also if you are in a tank or wraith unlike in reach where they would mount it and bash your vehicle into oblivion they just sort of try to dodge your vehicle if you get too close.
In reach they were aggressive and would often berserk or kick you in the head, but in halo 4 none of this happens.
What I really miss about elites were the assassinations. Human assassinations are always so boring, Elites on the other hand in Invasion could drop kick assassinate enemy spartans. It was the best assassination ever! And let’s not forget that elites would laugh as they assassinated you.
Ultras were great fun to fight, they were so tactical, in both appearance, and gameplay.

Good point.
But I still welcome the lack of tank boarding.
