Even if this is Impossible would you want it?

Vote 'yes' if you want any
Vote 'no' if you don't want any

Honor Guard Elite
Councilor Elite
Halo 2 Elite
Heretic Elite
Halo 1 Type II Elite
Arbiter


The large headgear will not make an easy headshot if bungie can lower the hitboxes so the part of the helmet where the elites head isn't there is left out. The Honor Guard and Councilor armor could fit through anywhere in multiplayer without crouching currently. Its like the Katana. Im not sure how making games work but I think they could be included with Halo 3 ODST. And the Halo 2 Armor is not Graphically Inferior to Halo 3 Armor. It looks completely DIfferent.

Yes the Honor Guard and Councilor armor are very visible but that would be the wearers choice to wear it. If they want to be slightly less effective but look amazing that is their choice. And it doesn't make that much of a difference. If you look at someone there name appears above them in HUGE letters.

Compare:Halo 2 Elite and Halo 3 Elite

These are just suggestions, I know there is a chance of this being impossible, it would just make elites actually have good armor. The only good Elite armor currently in my opinion is Commando and Ascetic

Since it would be nearly impossible to add the armors ingame since the armors are programmed into the maps my idea is that bungie could program these armors into all the mythic maps. So that for example you are using Honor Guard Armor and you play a mythic map you see the Honor Guard Armor. But the next map you play is a heroic map. Since the Honor Guard isnt programmed into the heroic map you would automatically be a elite in Combat armor. The next round you play another mythic map and it automatically loads you back into Honor Guard.

The Halo 1 Type II Elite could be just the helmet but it would look best if it were with the older Elite Model.

Love the idea. I would be an elite. I was thinking that bungie could tap in to the maps files and add and model the new armors. They could be in title update 3!

Post and keep this Thread Alive

Wait....your telling me I'm all alone with no overshield!?

Me =P

Yes I would actually. For the elite, I would prefer the Arbiter and the Honor Guard elite armor.

If they put these in, elites would ( GASP! CAN IT BE TRUE?!?!) finally have equal armor choice with spartans.

I would love for a bungie programmer to post here and give one good reason that elites were jipped. And I don't mean one of their smartass replies. I mean a real answer.

Most of the Elite Permutations look stupid in my opinion. I wish the normal elite form stayed the same as in Halo 2.

The only helmets that look good to me are the combat and commando helmets. The others look like you're wearing a prison helmet or something.

Most of these permutations would just make you stand out a lot more in MM.

Oh, and btw, Bungie has said repeatedly that they are not adding any new armor. It would require another TU, which they have also said will not happen.

Honour Guard Shoulders would be the smex.
The head, not so much. Sorry, it makes it a giant "Shoot me here!" sign. And the Councilor helmet is 100x worse.
It's like taking the EVA or Security helmets, and making the visors 3x the normal size.

And who doesn't want Arbiter armour?
The helmet is better than all the other Elite heads, with the exception of maybe Ascetic.

The problem with heretic is that it would make your elite look like an insect with the eyes. Ick.

Yes, but the only one that I'd use would be the Heretic, because that was my favorite Halo 2 level.

That's spartans, though. They also have the goldfish bowl head. They have some really funky choices.

the counciler and honor guard is awsome i dont get why it isnt in halo 3

Having the Honor Guard armor would also add another more realistic position for the body guard ranks in clans. Councilor armor for the councilors in the clan. Im using my clan as a reference. I know some of the other major elite clans are setup the same way.

  • 03.14.2009 8:13 PM PST

I'm an elite, so what if I'm too cool to use hayabusa?

Definitely the first two.
