[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sliding Ghost Chief in a gun fight with a Zealot which transitions into a lengthy chase scene (edit: on foot) culminating with an epic sword fight. The Elite would have overshields, dual wield swords, use conventional weapons (storm rifle, needler, and carbine), use camo, and have a bunch of Elite minor bodyguards. Halo 2 watered down Zealots. Halo 3 sidelined Zealots. Reach retconned Zealots (but made them enemies to be feared again, I applaud Reach). When will Zealots be restored to their former glory?[/quote] Zealots were still the best in Reach, I agree with your post but CE Zealots were stupid and easy to kill.
