Halo Reach Elites

[...]In Reach, Elites are bigger, they’re faster, and they boast better shield technology than their Spartan counterparts.[...]​

Size matters. And when we say Elites are faster, we mean it. Natively, Elites are about as fast as a Spartan at full Sprint. Add Evade into the mix, and they’re easily the most agile combatants on the battlefield in multiplayer.

Unlike Spartans, their health is not limited to recharging in thirds as their vitality is whittled away in stages, but will recharge fully without even the need for a health pack. Their health also recharges faster, as do their shields. Significantly faster.

...

just some info on how the new Elites will work in Reach​

Finally the Elites will be something else than an easy headshot target. Seriously, in Halo 3 their head was just about in line with their torso. It was so gimped.

more armor abilities like:

jet pack: its a jet pack

Armor Lock: Those that get too close are treated to an EMP blast when you exit the lock and the longer you’re locked down, the bigger and more powerful the effective radius becomes. While you’re in Armor Lock, you can’t be melee’d or assassinated, either

there is bound to be more

also you cant choose to be an Elite they are only in special game types and it will be elites vs elites

"So, how are we gonna work them [Elites] into multiplayer? Well, in a number of ways. In some circumstances, like Arena, you’ll only square off Spartan vs. Spartan or Elite vs. Elite. In others, well…stay tuned"

Re: Halo Reach Elites

Agreed, nice to see there is actually some difference to the characters in multiplayer now instead of same abilities with a different model/skin.

It's not about bonuses, its about compensating for the elites drastically larger hitbox. They are a bigger and as such easier target so they made them tough, fast and elusive.

Re: Halo Reach Elites

Let me rephrase what I said, sorry. . What unique abilities do Spartans have that elites lack? Other than the ability to be harder targets for being smaller. Thank you Fenrir
