[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SavXtreme Bungie probably thought they'll accidentally kill you when you're nearby (rockets and fuel rod is fine because they never shoot it close range - using a Gravity Hammer requires them to use it close range with the enemy - where you usually are). Also, for the serious campaign mode it may 'kill the mood', so to speak, if you see Elites randomly hammering enemies. Why? Well just look at the animation, in third person, for an Elite hammering - it's comical at the least. It's fine for multiplayer, where things aren't exactly serious and it's not based on a storyline, and especially as the Halo 3 online experience is supposed to be humorous and fun. But for campaign, Bungie may prefer a more serious and less comical gameplay style and mood when playing.[/quote] Actually, I would love to watch that, just stand back and laugh my head off while an Elite hammers the snot out of the brutes.
