| Re: Halo's skitzophrenic canon | |

In Response To: Re: Halo's skitzophrenic canon (Bry) : Elites proceed through the ranks by acquiring kills (well, apparently. Its a : pretty flawed idea for when your not at war, but that's what's been : stated). : Whether or not the foe is 'honourable' doesn't really factor into that. : Saying as you mentioned The Flood, that novel also points out that Elite : minors are very keen to engage in direct combat. : That's not exactly new fiction. The fact remains that only one source tried : to paint the picture that the Elites did not make an appearance before : Reach. : At no point through The Flood or Halo: CE does anyone seem to be remotely : surprised in seeing one though. Actually that's not true, the Covenant elites in Halo The Flood had no idea what to anticipate upon seeing Scorpion tanks for the first time (high ranking elites too!) after McKay and company liberated the scorpions from the crash-landed PoA. Why would anyone in The Flood have been surprised, though? they had just encountered the elites aboard the Pillar of Autumn and during the battle of Reach. Remember, the ship had been in slipspace for awhile at the beginning of halo 1 and everyone else was awake before the chief, and most all of the marines had been fighting covenant throughout the ship by the time you're on the scene.
