Why didn't the Jiralhanae become Elites and the Sangheili get some other name?
Think about it, the Jiralhanae became the Elite Caste, they were no longer the Burtes of Battle.

Only answer I can think of?
Bungie didn't think players could keep up.

But I'd love to hear a more theological answer.

Well the names Humans give them are just nicknames, just because they are the elite force of the covenant at that point doesn't make them less brutish.

Nah man, this is more of a question about the workings of the EU, and the Covenant political system, not about the game itself.

Sangheili referred to the people.

Elite and Brute were both human designations.

Those were names given by humans to Covie species, not [exclusively] because of rank and standing in the Covenant hierarchy

Then why did the prophets, and also themselves, refer to those species by those names?

Because you say Sanghili and so on, hell refer to Jackals as Kig-Yar and all the kids just lost what the fuck was going on.

Like Sandtrap said, English translation to us Humans..

So yes. Plus the names kind of made more sense as they were, the Jiralhanae are very brutish, whereas the Sangheiliare more elite in their lifestyle,always trying to become the best in their keep.

Or Apes and Alligators as used by the Headhunters.


But yeah, I love how 343 is actually using the proper names more now in their media.

Different clans have different styles; those fought on High Charity were likely Tartarus' own clan, whereas those in Truth's fleet in H3 were o other clan(s), and the aim in Reach was to make a design that combined te two, and you can tell from looking like chewbacca while keeping power armour- though again, this would have been another clan(s).

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
Everything changed when the Brutes took over.

But seriously, why are the sangheili even there when the jiralhanae are basically better in every way?

Elites were smarter and more skilled with guns and swords.

The Jiralhanae are a recent addition to the covenant, religious convention had been preventing their ascention.

The jiralhanae are far from stupid, and can make tactical decisions almost as well in a fight. That's on top of being physically superior. Really, they made the sangheili utterly redundant.

The Writ of Union explicitly states that the Sangheili will be the protectors of the San 'Shyuum and leaders of armies; this wasn't broken for over 3,000 years until Truth planned on taking over. At this point, the Brutes were more helpful to him as they are easier controlled and less likely to question anything, having completely converted from their own religion to the Covenant's when found on Doisac.

Otherwise, the Sangheili sense of Honour had long made them ideal honour guardsmen in the covenant and their eye for strategy ideal leaders, whereas the Jiralhanae rely on brute strength- one example being in the Schsim, when several Jiralhanae cruisers bore down on the Incorruptible and were essentially relying on force rather than tactics to win.

It's either because Bungie thinks we're idiots or they were too lazy to put focus into the campaign. I'm going with both reasons.

The brutes aren't stupid, but elites were just more clever overall is the reason. That and agility somewhat comes into play when compared to brutes.

I love how they purposely butcher their own games. They do stupid shit like that and they seem to forgot the Arbiter is in the game as well. It's pathetic we have no idea what he was doing outside the times where he's with us all because Bungie are lazy fucks.

Except when they're angry- you wouldn't like them when they're angry.

But otherwise, the Writ of Union, combined with all the prophet up to the last heirarchs respecting it meant that it was more of a tradition thing- the Jiralhanae have only been in the Covenant ~400 years as opposed to the Sangheili 3,000. They're the newcomers and most couldn't risk the Sangheili leaving the covenant as they still had a majority of its infrastructure and military night; you see what happens when the Sangheili get kicked out in their rebellion.

They got rid of multiple campaigns- Arby and chief- in 3 because the fans hated it in H2.

I'm gla 343 is going back down tht road with Locke and Chief in H5.

You mean because a few vocal critics hated it.

The vast majority of players loved it, something 343 figured out.

Pretty much. I mean, there have been a few polls on waypoint tht have shown more people in support of newer gameplay features and the like who just don't say anything out loud, which is why sites like teambeyond basically have a grip on the way the multiplayer goes now.

Still, the a t that arbiter is becoming an essential character to te series makes me happy again. Plus his new armour looks fucking amazing.

I really hope they contract Blur to do the cutscenes for Halo 5.

I just know this much, they need to fire Certain Affinity.

All of their maps are bland, except for the remakes.

That's the one thing Bungie was outstanding at, Multiplayer design.
Designing a decent matchmaking system that didn't shove the worst maps down your throat, that's another story.

I don't know. I liked Highlands and the H2A maps are pretty good, even if te game itself is shit.


But of we just had a server browser half of halos matchmaking problems wouldn't exist anymore.
