Predator vs Elite

Stealth wise I agree, I'm still not sure about the caste system dealie.

Off to the history books I say!

Maybe the yelling thing is a religous initiation of battle?

Maybe... but it's apparent Sun Stzu wasn't popular among the aliens.

Predators are solitary hunters, so I think if they were pitted one-on-one against an elite they'd probably beat them... But then, what the hell do I know? They're both fictional, so this is all speculation anyway... right? RIGHT?? Shocked

*looks around panic-stricken*

I think Blaster made a comment that would be perfect for this situation... damnit I'll be back in a few hours.

I could be wrong, I don't know. Go ahead and prove me wrong Simon. In some way, you always do.

Both species' organizational systems are built around castes. Killing enemies is a way of garnering reputation and social power. Very similiar wapons and technology. Almost fanatical reverence for thier concepts of 'honor', which is very similiar in definition. By all means a Sangheili and Yautja could make great friends.

If the situation called for it, I believe any organization of Elites would find it in mutual benefit if they should join in a military alliance with the Yautja to combat a common threat, and vice versa. However they have little to gain from such an alliance other than numbers beause they are so similiar in combat.

Those are some shrewd and salient points there Simon. Of course the Yautja would have to convert ( either willingly, or by the plasma sword ) for the Covies to consider them allies.

Not neccesarily. I believe the Elites, Grunts, and Hunters rebelled against the rest of the Covenant, and made alliance with the humans. Converting the other species is preffered, but if the situation really demands for it, any two neutral parties will ally for a common cause.

However your point puts to light that religion is very different between the two species, and there may be a little theology issue if both parties have noone to fight but each other. It could turn out like the Crusades, or they may just make a few budhist-gettin-a-hotdog jokes.

Interesting idea, there's certainly evidence to support the theory that some of the Sangheili have doubts about their 'faith'. The novels and the second game also make it pretty clear that the Prophets ( like most religious leaders ) are only interested in power and control. Given the likely schism between the Elites and the rest of Covenant society that will result from Halo 2's events it is not impossible that some Elites would revolt against their masters. There's nothing like betrayal to make you rethink your philosophy after all. You'd have to come up with a pretty contrived reason for them to ally though.

hmmm.... elites seem to have better weapons, and are less aggrivated therfore becoming clouded with rage, basicly, its going to come down to who i'd make love to..so given the choice between a predator..and an elite..hmmmmm....elites seem like the quiet refined type, and predators seem like they'd be crazy mad in bed..so Im gonna go with the predators.
