How come you dont see them changing weapon when they need to?
Or did you get that to from the big book of rip off BS?
You've shown that SP don't stand up too elites!!
As far as hostility goes Which one of us told the other to burn in hell till kingdom comes???
They can change weapons! But Elites plasma will cut straight through metal... Unless you can show that there weapons can stand up to plasma...
I got it from the Offical books... Get use to it... They give facts not the delusional fiction you keep dreaming up....

So they created 130 ish then another 70ish.. then upgrades for more...
Doesn't sound like they are are running short of money...
Fact is the reason why everyone hasn't got one is cause MC and the spartans are the only ones who can SURVIVE wearing them... A normal marine used it and pulverised his arm... The suits reaction speed and strength was too much for them.. But MC can use it cause HES UPGRADED! as told in the manuals and the books... But not shown in the games...
Theres alot left out of games for the sake of playability... Such as;
Why doesn't any of the peeps turn into zombies when there bitten? (Res evil)
Why doesn't SA die why you jump off the edge? (metroid)
How does anyone survive more then one attack in soul calibur??
You seem to be hell bent on keeping all the fact out of halo...
Personaly I Prefer the way halo is without all of MC abilities, For this gives fun online play and creates a challenging game.
Yeah, the part about the plasma is true like how quickly it was able to go through Sam's armor on the covenant ship.
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO KILL SAM?!!!
But don't forget that marines get hit pleny of times with plasma and continue to survive in both the game and the book. In the book they just suffer burns depending on where they get hit.

Marine armour got melted like butter... they died in 1 shot, The game gives them better armour so they can actualy be useful for a min...

Ok. Sorry, about the spellcheck thing. Anyway, I'm also waiting for proof of how the elites would be able to defeat the space pirates. Their most advanced tactics are duck and move back and forth repeatedly. I've never seen them attempt to flank anybody. The space pirates, on the other hand, jump, duck, take cover, and dodge.
MC armour was changed in the second game... It got upgraded to be strong against plasma... But the sword still cuts him easy...
When it was upgraded against plasma it was downgraded agains bullets... as the layer added to disapate the plasma fire ment he had to loose some armor...
This explains why machine guns kill easier then plasma... Course if you read up, you might know this...
Game mechanincs... LOL truely the work of a n00b....
SP weapons would damage an elite... I would concider them to do about as much damage as a plasma rifle.. So if they stood and just shot they would die at the same time... BUT if they shot and then hit, The elite would have the advantage.. If they went at it hand to hand... Elites would win with great strength and reflexs and the superior weapon...
Lets do a comparison. This should contain all points made so far and will not have to be made again.
Covenant Elite
Plasma Sword
Rifle
Plasma Grenades
Camouflage
Radar
Rechargeable Shield
Space Pirate
Energy Sword
Arm Cannon
Camouflage
High chance of a strong tough armour but the effects of plasma are questionable.
Cannot not judge on looks. Certain materials may look strong but can be easily brought down. For example a brick wall.
Plus since in both games the armour doesn't fall off or show dents from incoming fire, it is impossible to say how strong the armour is.
The Elite has the advantage because it has the use of radar and can detect the space pirate if it approaches while cloaked.
Though the strength the Elite has against the space pirate is questionable. It would seem if they were to fight face to face the space pirate would win.
But of course no one can account for the spur of the moment decision. It can happen that stronger foes can be taken down by weaker ones.
Speed is also a very important issue here. Being able to asses the situation quickly and thus make a rapid decision would be a high deciding factor in this fight.
This is my general view on the fight. Maybe I will get to see some intelligent comments?

Erm, space pirates can't have both camouflage and a gun. When scanned it is stated that the camouflage takes up to much energy, causing the pirates to rely on basic melee attacks.
I never said that they used them at the same time.
Unless you are stating that they can't even have both on them even if they aren't being used or not. That would be the first I heard of it. So you might have a valid point.
