May I present sample A.- Perfect Dark! Seriously, you could set up bots that would rip you a new one. Have you ever had a bot find you and give you a head-shot in mere seconds?

You know, Makes me glad I wasn’t the only one that was thinking the same thing. Hell, they might have been playing the beta at the time they first played it.
-Yoink!- double post…
I’ve been completely on by GoW 3 bots a lot of times, and once saw one troll on a whole team when it was last man standing.

No, but I rather have enemy Ai’s to deal with than bots in MM. They are a complete waist of time to deal with,
T’would be dissapointing to see elites taken out.
> T’would be dissapointing to see elites taken out.
Yes, yes it would. Along with making thousands upon thousands of people disappointed. But ya might as well keep some faith in mind just in case. It hopefully will work out in the end.

Yes. Halo 2 Legendary first run. Those effin jackals.

Oh god. The intro to Fight Club on Legendary… that Jackal Sniper took my head off so many times. It still hurts.

Off the rock, through the bush, nothing but Jacka- I mean drones.

oh wait…and another level on halo 2 legendary where an elite ultra would be wielding the beam rifle…now that, was truly LEGENDARY difficulty. Did you notice when grunts wield the plasma pistol on legendary they make it more rapid than the assualt rifle?

I doubt they skipped it, a mod has already posted in here. 
The thing that I find odd is: Why are they avoiding the subject altogether?
Instead of ignoring this behemoth of a thread, why not address it here or let us know that info about the Sangheili will be in an upcoming magazine/Weekly Bulletin?
I do understand that some things take precedence over this matter however ignoring us is just… rude.
Though it doesn’t have to be an entire article, hell I’d be happy with a small paragraph. shrugs

Not even a mysterious comment from frank o’ connor
I agree. There is no way they are ignoring this and they must have realized how much the community wants playable elites back. They have to give us some info sooner or later. Hopefuly when they do give us some info elites will be back.
you know… ill be even more satisfied if they announce it the last minute “although i dont recommend it” but ill be as sad as hell if they dont even include it.
> Not even a mysterious comment from Frank O’ Connor
Exactly, look at all the info he’s posting on NeoGAF then compare it to the amount of posts he has on here. (below 50 I think)
I’d rather he post here, but since he obviously likes NeoGAF more then at least say something about it on there. <.<
I won’t blame the Monitors on here because they only know a little more than we do.
Not sure about BSA, though she’s done a great job so far.
Btw has anyone actually PMed her about this and gotten a response?

Because its been discussed in another thread. There’s nothing for them to say. Elites are not going to be in MM. That and if we’re starting this up again, why should the elites be present aboard the Infinity? During a truce… when the arbiter and ship master are going home with all of the one’s loyal to them? (ending of Halo 3)

I think its a lot more safer not to question her about it just yet. Just to be on the safe side of things you know…for now
