Why the classic Elite design NEEDS to return 

HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! I agree. And Behind this halo 5 elite armour I was hiding a brute!

HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! It would be great if you did a Halo Wars 2 livestream with fans like you did on Halo Wars 1...

HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! I prefer the halo 3 design. They were too adorable to be taken seriously

HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! Don't forget honor. Without that the elites would have never taken sides. We would be finished.

Matthew Moral 117 likes NO ONE LIKE!!!

LOL

Matthew Moral No, the elites have GAINED a lot of weight since Halo 3.

H2 Legendary and Halo Reach legendary (hunters are bullet sponges) hunters fit this description better than CE. Not sure how/why Bungie wrote hunters to be so weak in CE...

Halo 5s hunter is the absolute meanest mother to come out of Halo, they're the toughest hunters definitely.

Hehe Try Halo Infinite

The Hunters on CE being easily killed by an M6D is because of a quirk in the enemy damage programming. They were actually supposed to last against several rounds of the gun, but ended up, well, accidentally becoming a one-shot kill due to said quirk. And with that in mind, there won't be any plans to fix this. Too I C O N I C and might lead to shouts of heresy if it went to that end.

@@imagurd The HCE Hunters being one shot kills are functionally an oversight. Since the skin on the Hunter in-game is classified as their "head", any shot with a sniping or headshot-centric weapon will one-shot them if it's fired at their exposed parts. Hence why in H2 the pistol trick no longer works.

Its kinda bananas how much of the nuance a company who named itself after the franchise manages to miss

Rizvi Rahman or the Vikings

@Rizvi Rahman Mongols weren't reckless, bumbling idiots. They were skilled archers and fighters, having their own codes of honor and prowess. If anything, the brutes are like cavemen.

@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 then instead of the Mongols maybe the brutes represented the Germanic Huns?

@@victoriakochanek7931 maybe a caricature of Germanic hordes. I think brutes compared to Vikings is adequate. Brutes can organize themselves to fight in a coordinated manner when they have to, but clearly they would prefer a defenseless enemy and would prefer to display their martial strength rather than “prowess” as the elites do. It seems to brutes fight for material things like wealth and power rather than abstract concepts like honor and fame. This is much akin to Vikings rather than Germanic hordes who were always fighting for land whether being defending tribal lands or migrating to new ones.

Actually They Do It In Halo 4

Not Only That, In Halo 5 We Have A Little Wink From A Grunt That In Fact "Taunts" The "Wort Wort Wort"

@el ay of el taiger So I assume you don't play any games where it is human vs human, then? Considering you're so stupid, you need the Elites to have an entirely different anatomy just to say "Deez bad guy, hurr durr".

It makes no sense to have elites being “larger and tougher” than Spartans because they aren’t

@@Aden_III Back then they were, and it depends on the Spartans, Noble team at a pretty tough time fighting elites in certain cutscenes

@@oxideactual1018 That’s because Elites are skilled and have power armor. That being said, Elites shouldn’t be able to just one-handedly lift a Spartan as if they’re light. Spartans are stronger than elites and significantly heavier

Shan ta how does anyone like them?

Shan ta I'm more of a fan of the Reach and Halo 2A Elites sonce they're more deadly looking. The 4 and 5 elites look kinda silly

Legend 27 because people have opinions

They look okay in my eyes.

I'm not really a fan of them but I think at certain times it fit really well although they didn't completely fit the original graceful elite. Like Jul for example I thought it complemented him well, like can you imagine him as the slender, graceful, noble elite? But some of the elites were just these too damn big lumbering giants of elites if you had some slimmer and not any lumbering oafs of elites it would have worked really well.

How so

@@SquareLizard924.0recently played reach again and while it's a good game the elites just didn't look like bungie elites, it honestly felt like the beginning of the fall into halo 4 and 5

@@piss7672 you do know bungie intentionally made the elites like that becouse they wanted the player to see how scary and deadly elites were before we became friends with them and it shows they are agile elegant and scary af to play against and their armor and design are great

Or: Covert & Lethal

they where never really that covert or elegant imo. They straight up stop and scream when their shields go down in the original trilogy. They always had a brutish element to them. It's a cool duality.

The Halo CE remaster was my first Halo game, and the way the elites jedi-jumped at me with their energy swords always scared the shit out of me. I reall can‘t see that with the new design

Rad Bones When they're not leading a team, holding an explosive, or piloting a vehicle- they're pretty damn covert as far as alien species go.

Kory Fredrick The new design looks inbred and washed up.

@@noahfitzpatrick5130 and also wrong, since plenty of women enjoy sports class.

I thought the swords turned invisible too

Cyrosphere 01 i see them in cloaked enemies in halo 2.

gameplay problem.

@@cyrosphere0154 They do, I actually still remember first playing Halo CE and entering a room where from my naked eye didn't have any enemies only to them find myself dead by the hands of a cloaked elite shipmaster with an energy sword, made it clear after that incident that just because something looks empty doesn't mean it is.

Nik Savage I never thought of this your a GENIUS

He did it gracefully, tho.

IRONIC

"fuck this shit I'm out"

The old evade looked so good then 343 threw that out the window in halo 5

@Maicol Baay Yeah especially "awwwwbadugh"

The sangheili look to feral in reach

Reach is one of the best and the reason they look similar to ce is because it's a prequel sequel so they were designed to be similar

@Félix Del Imperio the eyes were a callback to CE

Always hated the Reach design change. Comical body proportions and clown feet. Monsterous and lumbering.

Holy shit, I only just noticed that

Got a whole ass target on his head

Wow

Oh crap XD

I’m never gonna unsee that.

i think it has to do with the graphics as well. the thing with older halo games that i liked, was that it had brightness. 343 halo is literally dark, all the time. its completely washed out and has a total of four colors, Promethean red, 700 different shades of blue, and extremely bright white. Reach and the other bungie halo games had the full spectrum of colors, and, depending on the needed mood, could use color and lighting in a way to give multiple themes. 343 halo is just doom and gloom all the time, while the old games actually felt emotion, and gave a sense of hope behind the impending doom of the flood/covenant. specifically with Elites (and im mostly speaking in terms of machinima/movie-making) using the lighting correctly in halo reach could give an elite a huge number of "characters" my favorite example is the Rise of the Spartans Machinima, by black plasma studios. the Elites played a HUGE role in its story, and with Elites on either side of the conflict, they needed to show some in a certain mood that others wouldn't. lighting and color are massive parts in that area when it comes to film making. 343 apparently hasn't figured that out yet. 343 halo is mostly "filmed" in what movie-makers call high contrast. lots of extremely dark and extremely bright lights and colors in the shot all at once. it makes for a more intense, serious, and dark experience. the Bungie halo games were a mix between high and low key lighting, low for interior/flood, high for exterior areas. ever notice in the original halo games that bad stuff only happens indoors? or if there is something bad outside, there's heavy, overcast weather? this stuff goes unnoticed frequently. that turned into a rant fast........why does this happen to me...

Ramseas119 thats funny I never noticed that

I think H2A tskes the cake for me. The physiology and posture of elites in Reach was fine, and I really like the extra detail and fidelity, but the armors looked really... bulbous... to me. I think H2A is a good sort of middle ground of Reach's (modern) detail and trilogy design.

Nick Serpe especially the spec ops elites.....now they were sleek.

Nick Serpe they were perfect

Got to admit he had perfect form while absolutely failing

Bungie elites

343 Elites: I Love Bungie, But 343 Elites Are More Imtimidating

F0xy 222 the same way brutes are more intimidating then bungie elites. So why not bring back brutes if 343 wants you to be intimidating instead of ruining the sleek design of the bungie elites

Moto moto:I like them big I like them chunky. New Elites:I'm not a brute

Butter Games it’s true though, they really aren’t anything like what the name entails or what I grew up with

poopet le pup What did all of their old armor and armor making capabilities just disappear after the covenant fell apart? You know they still have massive covenant ships, right?

The new design has no sex appeal. Who would fuck them vs the halo CE through Reach design

The M1 is too mobile for this comparison.

Sectionized I still have my Halo Masterchief Collection because I love the classics. I only play 1-3 on it because the trilogy was the best. 4-5 I cared less for. I played them but 1-3 definitely my favorite just the way they were designed and the nostalgia of being a kid who'd play Halo when school was cancelled because of snow in elementary school. I understand companies have to evolve for newer generations but give something to us who have been there from the beginning. Give back to the first players of the Halo series. lol

Sectionized reach was pretty good too

Kyle35010 its all because Bungie left to make destiny and left 343 industries to make halo, and they are doing absolutely terrible

parker Leineke atleast they care dude, bungie doesn't give a fuck, then where in it for the money more

HeadHunterXxX24 considering they basically brushed away destiny 1 as if it never happened. and that it was also basically a test run for their new game.

@warystatue33 isn't that W40K?

@warystatue33 oh nice

From what I remember hearing the Halo 5 elites were designed (at least partially) by someone who worked on Gears of War

Talking Fish yeah I heard the same that someone from Gears had to do something with the design of the elites not sure where tho

They remind me of mass effect characters

Dashiexp reference?

The classic elites would go “wort wort wort”

why did this make me laugh so much

my thoughts exactly

Agreed.

(Based off of looks/armor) My list goes. 1. H2. 2. HR. 3. HCE

Halo 4 and 5 = dafuq

I agree with you. Halo 2A were really good. From my point of view The Elites start looking bad since Halo Reach and beyond Reach they are ugly.

@@rickypineda2463 yeah since halo reach the elites armor start to looks bulky

Becuase it was to good.

i liked the overall covenant design from reach, especially from the elite officer.

Some Halo Guy because it looks similar to the halo 4 design and then they would be hypocrites

amuraby hernandez they don't look nearly as brutish as the Halo 4/5 elites, and the Reach elites are the exact definition of agile and stealthy deadly

The new elites look like brutes wtf happen did elites and brutes did they did a little something before halo 4? Lol

@Terra Novei zealots are one of the highest too, Remember reach they sent a squad of 5 ontop of Emile in the Mac cannon, they had swords, dual wield plasma rifles, fuel rod cannons

Its because it is too complicated and also is put together in little armor bits like iron man.

well... that's how they designed it

Kevin Miedema And they designed it poorly.

@@bravelordspeedo4836 It's meant to be like that so that if a SPARTAN dies in battle, the enemy can't remove the armor for their own use without damaging it.

They aren't the same elites you've been fighting. There's no excuse as to why the arbiters elites look the way they do but the halo 4 and 5 elites are feral beasts.

ok so where the fuck where these elites at in halo wars - halo 3?

The brutes are more elegant than the new elites
