A thing that I noticed (only played Halo CE once) is that the red sangheili are damn good at dodging my grenades, I'd have to have at least 2 grenades on me to make their use viable, so that I can bait them with one to jump away and then hit them with a second one when they're recovering from that jump
The reason the armor color determines the eye color is because only in CE are those not actually their eyes but rather lenses that are in the facial armor. Whereas in halo 2 onward, the upper part of the elites faces were exposed. Only in CE they had armor.
the dog lizards of CE, best implementation in the series before they started getting built like giant brutes Also, their head shape is the best too. Their mouths can perfectly close and are slim and sleek.
The head shape always bothered me with later Elites. They just look stupid and dopey with those open mouths. Halo CE Elites make sense and look lethal. I really don't understand the downgraded Halo 2 and 3 elites and beyond
Absolutely, Halo CE and Halo 2 Elites had much better anatomy than later Elites, even in the Bungie games. Halo 3 Elites were too bulky and squat. Reach Elites were a bit too big, although I liked their speed and athleticism. In Halo 2, you can still see that the Elites can mostly close and seal their mouths. Their lower mandibles are wider and have flesh on the inside that can close like lips. Later versions, even in the Bungie games and especially with 343s designs, even the Halo 2A versions, they have big holes in the bottom of their mouths, which make no sense.
Like i said before, you give off a cool 2004 or 07 guide vibe to your vids, its almost like watching halo waypoint vids again. keep up the great energy.
I love these breakdown videos you are making, excited to see you do them all! I would like to see the halo 2 buggers in a breakdown video. Keep it up ! :)
I would like to see the Skirmishers/jackals from Halo Reach next! That would he awesome They are my favorite species of all time (sangheili being smashed in between the ruttian and T’vaoan in terms of my favorites)
very nice video! i looked this up because me and a friend were co-oping through combat evolved in the mcc and we ran into a couple of elites using needlers, and for the life of me i just remember them using the plasm rifle and occasionally the sword. i guess it's finally been long enough that some of the details are starting to fade, although most of the levels themselves seem to be permanently etched into my memory lol. also which version of the game did you record? it almost looks like it was played on an xbox?
@@LiveFromMyBasement ah okay good to know! those graphical updates they added last year must have really made the older gearbox pc visuals look much closer to what the original xbox graphics were. i guess i hadn't noticed because i almost always play the newer visuals. also i probably play ce the least out of all of the halos on the mcc.
Hmm. After just playing through legendary again. Off of color variants. Blue. Red. Gold. Silver with no circle symhol (which becomes blue elite in anniversary) silver with circle symbol (anniversary becomes white/silver spec op elite) black spec ops elite. Then the one that stumps me. The light grey / light brown elite that shows up in keyes / maw which also has a circle symbol and no circle symbol variant.
I always liked these elites the most. They're supposed to be lithe and agile, not the big-headed hunched-over bodybuilders of later games.

My favorite elites in the franchise, from the appearance, to the sounds, animations everything 🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Definitely top tier Elite design and personality! Wort Wort Wort!! Thanks for watching!
I love there armor and i love there AI on legendary.
Agree

Those old waypoint videos were a big inspiration actually! Especially since they are difficult to find these days.
I love these breakdown videos you are making, excited to see you do them all!
I would like to see the halo 2 buggers in a breakdown video. Keep it up ! :)
Buggers headed over the rooftops! It’ll happen!
Fun fact, the gold elites in CE fire their plasma rifles more frequently than other ranks!
I would like to see the Skirmishers/jackals from Halo Reach next!
That would he awesome
They are my favorite species of all time (sangheili being smashed in between the ruttian and T’vaoan in terms of my favorites)
This was great. I'd definitely like to see a video on the Brutes of Halo 2 and/or Halo 2: Anniversary in the future.
... Reading this comment as I finish editing "Halo 2 Brute Breakdown"...
Great video! But you forgot that the spec ops, gold elites and steath elites have a different armor set than the minors and majors.
just found this channel, love the attitude man. keep up the posts and stay consistent, you will see success.
Please do the halo infinite hunters next. There the best they have ever been.
I actually planned on doing a couple weeks back but lost my footage somehow. Been slowly getting it back though. It’s coming!
Quite tough !!
Nice video mate! keep up the good work. Such an underrated channel.
Thanks man!
Love there videos! Very informative
very nice video! i looked this up because me and a friend were co-oping through combat evolved in the mcc and we ran into a couple of elites using needlers, and for the life of me i just remember them using the plasm rifle and occasionally the sword. i guess it's finally been long enough that some of the details are starting to fade, although most of the levels themselves seem to be permanently etched into my memory lol.
also which version of the game did you record? it almost looks like it was played on an xbox?
That’s awesome, I still love co-oping CE with my buds. But yes I recorded all of this footage on MCC. Thanks for watching!

Very nice. Let’s see Paul Allen’s Halo CE Elite breakdown.

Great video love this game obsessed with elites!! ❤
Halo 3 brutes are the funniest and coolest, it would be cool to see one video of the brutes
Great video mate! Love your work
I’m glad you enjoy my content! Thanks for watching!!
You know it would be cool to get a video on your ranking of all the halo campaigns and how you came to your conclusions.
Love that idea!
Will never understand why Bungie went backwards with the Elites after CE
ODST Breakdown!
Oooo love that idea!
Could you do the videoof the hunters the Halo infinit please
I think black and gold elites have the same shield strengths
I’ve never seen the animation of a CE Elite getting into a wraith what the hell lol
I got you 👍 lol thanks for watching!!
Can you do this for the elites of 2, 3, 4, 5 and Reach
That’s the plan! Thanks for watching!!
