we could be missing a piece to the puzzle here. in the past, it was spartan or elite, each evenly sized for the most part. now, you have the bigger elite or the spartan ll, what if there is now no longer only two choices, like maybe you can be an elite, a spartan lll, or a spartan ll??!!! maybe the spartan ll's have more health but the spartan lll's are smaller and more agile?!!!
