In halo reach that wasn't an energy sword, it was some weird dagger thing

[@nanomachinesson2513]

You know, you can actually have a pretty good canon reason for their combat performances. Reach was the covenants best, most experienced warriors so the hardest to fight. Halo 1 was the reserves of those forces so still experienced but not as much as the ones lost on Reach during the fighting. Halo 2's were the Prophets personal warriors so highly skilled but not the hardened, experienced soldiers the covenant had to expend on Reach. Halo 4 and 5 are the elite subspecies which did not see much combat in the war and are therefore the least experienced. As the war goes on the Elites become less threatening due to the Covenant sacrificing all the hardened, well trained, experienced soldiers during the war. Its probably just coincidence the difficulty worked out that way but it is a cool idea none the less.

[@LukeTheNotable]

Interesting theory. Really like that.

[@zebfirehd9102]

Arbiters forces show be strong Since alot of them are x-covenant and still not happen that they don't have the old looking elites with them. and while not use arbiters H2A look instead of making a new model would of saved money.

Amazing theory

[@Lonewolf20173]

Nanomachines Son! I love the way you put it

[@retrosoul8770]

It also ironically aligns with the fact that Reach was the last Halo game by Bungie, so they wanted to go out with a bang and perhaps make the best and most challenging Halo yet. The advances in animation and AI make this clear also, updating and improving the engine/graphics and gameplay.

Neo Crusader Only the Ultra Elites and General Elites with Fuel Rods were pretty powerful. A good player can mostly avoid stuff like their powerful one hit melee and front kicks. The Brutes acted just like their supposed to and had a more tribal look to them. And what you said about the differ armor designs is completely silly. They looked the best in Reach because not only did the have distinct colors but also armor designs to tell them apart. Just look at the Skirmisher and Grunt ranks they too also had a really cool unique armor design alongside each unit color. Not only did that make the Elites look a lot cooler but it also made them very easy to recognize on the battlefield and in multiplayer it gave the player a variety of Elite armors to choose from. Even in Halo 3 there were different Elite armors with unique colors for the ranks. You sir on this one topic are an idiot. And in the minority. Most people really liked the Reach Elite armors and colors and hope to see them again in the future.

[@sahelanthrope]

Halo 2 elites aren't very aggressive or intelligent on Legendary. They generally back away and almost never follow you around a corner. Their only difficulty is the high DPS of the plasma rifle, which can kill you faster than CoD4 enemies on Veteran. Reach had the best AI of any Halo game and the elites on Legendary and Mythic are practically sentient.

[@tylerellis9097]

Ny'kratmuhn Me'ru, I disagree reaches elites are stronger but their definitely not smarter, they have a scripted sword and melee attack and their aggresive pushes are far more predictable than halo 2 elites, the halo 2 elite back hit also shits on reaches, though I agree with the rest of the covenant ai except brutes, halo 2 has bullet sponges but reaches brutes are just bland gorillas who don't really having that berserking threat.

[@dustindubbo2892]

Tyler Ellis ya but halo reach elites had a tendency to rush you if you were hiding in cover, also they would get the “shudder” concussion rifle and spam that shit for days

[@sahelanthrope]

Tyler Ellis All attack animations in Halo are "scripted," what matters is whether the AI is smart enough to know when to use them. I actually can't remember the last time I tried going close-quarters with a H2 (non-Heretic) elite on Legendary, though I think that speaks to the over-effectiveness of the noob combo in that game and the fact that they like to bunch together a little too much. It's also hard to get anywhere close to them as their plasma rifles will rip you apart faster than a Jackal sniper. But I doubt very much that their melee attacks are more dangerous than the one-hit jab or 180 pirouette kick of Reach elites, scripted or not. As for aggression, not only are Reach elites far more varied and agile in their manoeuvring (strafing and side-stepping while staying on-target instead of rolling) and have double the ground coverage without lowering their weapon, but they can throw their own grenade traps (at the speed of sound). I honestly can't remember being more impressed with enemy AI in a game since Reach came out, though I guess that's not saying much considering the field.

[@tylerellis9097]

Ny'kratmuhn Me'ru, should have been more specific the reach through halo 5 elites have very stiff sword attacks and stance, while the halo 2 elite can swing anywhere and its back hit, even if your not near the elite will kill you plus 3 other enemies, I have yet to see an elite in any other game have a back hit that can kill five enemies around the elite, again the reach elites are stronger an example is that Bungie allows them to use grenades, only spec op and zealots in halo 2 can use them, also making the ai more aggressive isn't really smartness, it's just really a predictable strength. Now I'm not saying the reach Elites are shit, their the second best in the franchise and without a doubt the most op but they definitely lack that realistic reaction to situations and being attacked like halo 2 elites for me.

[@eathealthy-eatapizza-repea6584]

Halo Reach elites were the strongest. The fact that they could rush/run towards you and punch you or kick you was scary to me, but I liked it because of that, and it was challenging. It would be nice if Halo Infinite's elite AI's would be like Reach's, but even better.

[@FRGDEC]

Reach gets a ton of shit, a chunk of it valid criticism. I don't care if it's an unpopular opinion, but the best iteration of the Elite's are seen here. Their A.I felt insanely smart, but not unfair. The new armor designs are near flawless, with them looking distinctly Covenant, and all having unique silhouettes. That really drove home the "invasion" theme Reach had going, you're being steamrolled by a wicked and razor sharp force. And each enemy variant strikes fear into the player when you see a gang of em run up on you, wasting zero seconds to kick your shit in. I've been crawling my way through the MCC PC on Legendary, and theirs a damn good reason why I'm way ahead in CE and 2, and just got to Oni Sword Base in Reach.

yakovlev999 The elites in 343i games are rogue elites from Halo 4 or elites that still believe in the covenant. After it fell, enemies became less of what they are supposed to be, as said for the elites. In Halo 5, the Swords of Sanghelios fit into the honorable elites you mention.

Bungie: Elites are the spartan's true adversaries. Smart, agile, and powerful - they'll be a challenge, and they'll be so badass, many players will be willing to play as them in multiplayer.

Luke, I disagree with you and think you have 1 and 2 the wrong way round as you overlooked several important points. Firstly, you underestimate the CE plasma pistol. The charge shot does not home in as well that is true. However the CE plasma pistol's regular fire can be monstrous. If you have a good trigger finger it is the best gun out of itself, the AR and the plasma rifle. I personally can kill a full shielded elite major on legendary in less than a second with the plasma pistol. It makes the elites very underwelming. You also don't consider that one plasma grenade on the floor can kill even a CE zealot in one go. On H2 even if you stick an ultra elite, that is not enough. Finally, due to your paper shields a halo 2 elite can kill you in less than a second, a CE elite can not do that if you have full health as well as shields.

The CE plasma pistol is godly. So glad to see a message giving it love. On MCC I have over 350k campaign kills in CE, the plasma pistol being my preferred weapon on my stats.
