More likely some armour permutation which looks crap , but everyone wants because they didn't fork out seventy dollars more.

also legendary edition gets the elite

Fix'd
The monitor Biped is in powerhouse and sword base, check Se7ensins.

who wants to play invasion :D

invasion sucks. its off balance. Spartans always win

Not when me and my friends are elites, we always win.

wtf? Normal Invasion, much easier for Spartans since elites fight uphill.
Invasion Slayer, much easier for Elites, since they have better loadouts. I mean come on, Repeater > AR, Needler > AR and at close ranged DMR, etc. Roll > Sprint, etc.

Invasion isnt off balance. It's just with the elites, people dont know how to use them properly. You have to learn to adapt to the new environments and learn to use the armor abilities to their full potential...

& with the spartans. Seriously though it would be better that the players would be able to use the armor abilities when holding the core. Except the dive roll, because the animations would be just weird. :S

Last two games I played on it, the elites won every time :\

Umm, Invasion is a Teamwork based Gametype, That is why you are set in fire teams. The elites have to use their superior attributes against spartans. Spartans have to stick as a team if they want to win. Elites on the other hand can operate more alone because they have: Better shielding, Stronger in health, Recharge for shields is alot more quicker, Health Regeneration, And being Taller (which isnt always the advantage).

Spartans though also have some superior Attributes in invasion like: Loadout set, More armour abilities, Start on higher Ground, And also that they are Shorter (which again isnt always the advantage).

If you want a quick rundown on how to counter each other, Heres a Rundown.
e= Elite s=Spartan

>1e VS 1s, winner: elite
>1e VS 2s, even chance
>1e VS 3s And Higher, Both equal to winner: spartan

>2e VS 3s, likely winner: elite
>2e VS 4s, even chance
>2e VS 5s And Higher, Both equal to winner: spartan

>3e VS 3s, likely winner: elite
>3e VS 4s, even chance
>3e VS 5s, even chance
>3e VS 6s, likely winner: spartan

>4e VS 4s, Likely winner: elite
>4e VS 5s, Likely winner: elite
>4e VS 6s, even chance

>5e VS 5s, Likely winner: elite
>5e VS 6s, even chance

>6e VS 6s, even chance

This is from experience, Distance between the targets changes alot, Also weapons. But this is the main Rundown. Spartans, if they want to effectively defend, They must outnumber the elites in every engagement. 1 Elite can handle 2 spartans, But that is an even chance because the elite is outnumbered but is more durable in combat. Spartans have to rely on Numbers and their greater Range of weaponry and armour abilities, Also their terrain advantages. Elites can win fairly easily if all fireteams work together as one squad, same with the spartans.

Now for some tips:
-As you advance further through phases, elite players tend to use swords alot, Spartans use this to their advantage by using ranged weaponry.

-Vehicles are pwnage

-Dont move if you want your camo to become extremel effective. Because when you move you become more visible.

-Plasma grenades have a insta-kill radius (must very close to the epicenter of the blast), but frags dont (mainly splash damage)

And yeh, im too lazy to do anymore.

Hope this helps

Um.. I know how the gametype works :V

I was just saying, elites were able to beat us 2 times in a row.

It was mainly directed to people who think invasion is off balance, =P

elites always loose Spartans have better guns vehicles and load outs...
how the hell are you even suppose to score when a tank is just spamming shoots at the stairs...

I said that spartan have better vehicles and weapons and terrain... but elites can counter when working carefully.

was not replying to y our post...

scorpion beat wraith

Invasion Slayer sucks.

truth/\

I'm always a Spartan, and we never seem to win. The elites get the territories. They whore the vehicles. We're stuck in spawns. They get the power weapons.

Or maybe you're just terrible. Half of the time I play Invasion Slayer, I'm a Spartan and our team kills everything. Look at my record and Invasion Slayer game history.

you suck
dmr>nr
ar> plasma poo gun
grenade lawn chair>

For me, this is how it usually goes,

Phase 1: Spartans spawn rape stupid elites with DMR's, smart elites roll into cover, then head up the stairs, where their superior power is nullified by grenade spam. Finally, with Spartans distracted, all of the elites rush the nodes and open the shields, unless the Spartans use teamwork to hold the line. Odds, Spartans 50%, Elites: 50%

Phase 2: Elites usually pass this stage, using the two sets of Plasma Launcher and Focus Rifle, unless the Spartans get to those first, in which case the Elites are screwed. The vehicles, if the Elites use them, usually are huge support. odds, Spartans: 25% Elites:75%

Phase 3: This is butrape for Elites. Normally, both teams are too focused on combat to use the vehicles, and even then, they are usually shot down(mainly by the newly spawned Splazer and Rockets) Spartans camp the doors with shottys, making it extremely hard to get the core outside. Then, if it does get out side, Spartans spam grenades at whoever has the core, and the carrier barely ever has any support. odds are at this stage Spartans: 75%, Elites: 25%

Now as far as Slayer goes, whoever gets the first few supply drops basically dominates. The Spartans tend to dominate, being that they have much more ranged weapons on a relatively open map. And the Spartan drops are almost always more powerful than Elites.

Bungie defiantly needs to tweak the Elite weapons, make them a bit stronger (mainly the Needler Rifle), but the game itself is relatively balanced.

they need to take out plasma repeater and put back in a plasma rifle

The plasma rifle would be too weak.

i would kick more @$$ with it than the spray and pray repeater poo

I like male anus.

Instead of the plasma repeater, up the plasma rifle so its on par with the AR, like it is in our ever great game, Halo CE.



Really, who cares about your love of the male anatomy?

Invasion - Spartans win 95% of the time

Invasion Slayer - Elites win 99.8% of the time, and tie .1%, and lose .1%

i havent won in invasion slayer as an elite once

Then your whole team sucks. I play with friends.

FYI: Halo is not a lone wolf game like Call of Duty.

You need communication and teamwork if you want to win, otherwise you're just leaving it up to chance.

Besides you need it for CoD in some cases. It helps.

Also heres some elite things you would like to know.

Type of elites

Minor
Officer
Space
Spec Ops
Ultra

Now for SPARTAN names.....

Jorge
Anton
Fred
Emile
Kelly
Jun
Carter
Adrianna
Kat
Malcolm
Isaac Dead Space lol?
Rosenda
Will
Nicole Dead Space girl lol?
Sam

FYI, Will is a spartan with a Mark VI helmet, Malcolm is a spartan with a ODST helmet. Anybody else has helmets that has never been used in any other halo game except Reach.

This is the ONLY time I will post bitmaps but only for things you didn't know or so.

Will's MARK VI helmet bitmap

Malcolm's ODST Helmet

Yes it's the same uvw as h3's/h3:odst

Only reason why I bothered to look for the odst helmet is because I saw in a video a ODST helmet in a way.

So, Spartan, is there a mk V helmet(not noble 6's helmet, but the on from halo ce and the halo 3 variant.)

[EDIT]:
Score, 7th page starter.
Edited by Ring127 on May 9, 2010 at 08:33 PM

No Mark V helmet style from h1 or h3. Just lone wolf man.

Well, thats stupid. Why do they have a mk VI, but not a mk V, especially when mv VI was tested on earth after the fall of reach. Bungie is, once again, screwing with there own set canon.
