  • As we've already covered, Halo Reach has some of the deepest armor customization in general, but what it took the Elite Armor to the next level. Now, not only are there a variety of separate Elite armors, but ALL of them denote ranks held by Elites within the Covenant, and as such, the Lore behind ALL the Halo Reach Elite Armor is exceptionally juicy. So, today we're going to be going through the Lore behind ALL the Halo Reach Elite Armor AND the ranks they signify!

    This is what was so great about Reach. Aside from the new vehicles, weapons, and overall best multiplayer (imo), we finally got to see different rankings in the elite army. And to top it all off, when you wanted to play as an elite in multiplayer, you got to choose which rank you wanted to play as. Instead of just a minor like all the other Halos.
    It’d be really cool if in the new Reach added to MCC, we could mix and match armor pieces from each elite rank to really be able to customize elite armor (along with already our spartan armor customization).

    Honestly, I think Reach had the best armor designs for the Covenant in the entire series. Yes, the Elite armors could get a little crazy, but they stood out and had an almost religious flare to their design. Seeing Halo 2 Anniversary go back to the cut-n-paste elite armors of Halo 2 and 3 kind of bummed me out, because I would've loved to see Rtas' in Reach's Ultra armor, or maybe even dressed in General or Field Marshal gear.

    The lore behind Bob the golden elite was from halo 2 trigate easter egg. It's a bit confusing but hear me out. When you did the trigate easter egg in halo 2 which only a handful of people managed to achieve, bob would come out and into real life. There was sightings of him buy copies if halo reach. He later implemented himself into the game via cloud downloading and that's why hes in the game.

      Who knows the chemical propellant that makeup for those 90mm shells, it's not the size that matter but what you do with it. Also when you compare the barrel length between the M808s to the M1A1/2s. The muzzle velocity puts the Abrams to shame.
      With the Scorpions size & wider profile, it can fit more firepower & can traverse all colonies planets with ease, it is design for rapid deployment after all, going from planet to another.
      It is modulated for quick depot or field repairs as well, one of the amrour packages we know so far in lore is titanium ceramic. The UNSC must of chose that for superior heat protection against plasma bolts from the Covenant.

    This gives so much greater context to the different elites you fight in Reach. It’s still amazing how game like that 9 years still is communicating small lore through the campaign missions. Thanks man! Get yourself a Western Digital “Black” Hard-drive for mass storage. I’ve had no issues with mine thankfully.

    I would never want all the elites to have strong energy shields gameplay wise, but lore wise, why don’t the prophets just give every elite, zealot grade shields?

      the elites believe in merit. same reason we dont have new recruits being Generals. its git to be earned.
