Besides it is still rather easy to see through the cloak so it probably wouldn't give them that much of an advantage anyways. On the other hand you cannot see cloaked pirates whatsoever, when they are cloaked they do not distort the area around them and you cannot see their blade weapons. Unless you have thermal or x-ray vision of course.
Yeah but the pirates kind of give their positions away by the music that plays when they're near and the growls that they let out when they get close. It doesn't take much effort to quickly scan the area with the thermal visor.

But the thing is that there are no speakers in the arena for this(as if there are any in any arena 😂 ) and the other thing is that the elites dont come equipped with anything that can be related to thermal 😂 .
the point is MP AI is nothing comparied to the AI of halo... space pirates have trouble moving, let alone having any form of tactial plan... I would say there weapon is about the same as an elite, but elites are tacticaly superior...

Yeah I have seen them move around alot. Unless you don't consider strafing, jumping, running, or flying moving around.
Ah more advanced space pirates fly and teleport around... but normal grunts stand still and run at you should something block there sight... other wise there still waiting for the imagenary bus in the imagenary quee

Ummm...tactical plans are mostly good if you have an army, but if you didnt know what "space pirate vs elite" means, then I guess I'll have to tell ya. One on frickin' one, not one army vs one army 😂.
And AI has nothing to do with this fight, sheesh.

lol you guys!Elites have shields... advantage elites...
elites have SHOWN they have some form of tactical knowledge so that they can fight to there advantages... tactics comes into all forms of combat. Only a n00b would think that tactics only effect wars... sheeshh..
OK, give us an example of how tactics's gonna help it in this fight then!
Taken from the game...
Space pirate stands still when you attack it and doesn't try to cover itself when damage is inflicted...
Elite will hide beind walls and shields and will dive out of the way should you shoot it...
Basic tactics I know but tactics none the less...
Can anyone tell me any advantages they think a space pirate has over an elite???
(Insult was due to the disrespectful tone of the post...)
