"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

He was brutal, and he was very VERY tall.
However he would also be cocky and play with his enemies.

If he had a cool head he'd be one of the greatest warriors of all time.

That Arbiter could have easily killed Forge.

And I hated how Ensemble made the Elites look and act like idiots in that cutscene.

The actual designs were good, but the way they acted was very inaccurate.
An Elite can match a Spartan II, yet in Halo Wars they get destroyed.

They can, but the average Elite is not as skilled and is more cocky than a Spartan. All the Elites that were attacking were minors(yes, supposedly Honor Guards, but really), they were scrubs of the highest caliber.

You think Minors are cocky? I'd disagree.
Higher ranks get cocky, not the bottom ones.

Source? I remember hearing that the lower ranks are more likely to be cocky in their religious zeal and all that, while the more experienced and higher ranked are more tactical and thinking.

Well actually, you might be right.
Looking at the Arbiter; Rtas Vadum, and the higher ups they seem to be very composed.

The Minors may be cocky over the fact they order the grunts and jackals around. I think the whole 'Spartan IVs are cocky" discussion is still in my head.

There are still competent lower ranks though, like that Major that Chief grappled with during TFoR. Just tends to be that most aren't that smart.

We have to remember. Blue rooks are just that. They're fresh out of training. Propaganda in their eyes, devotion and blind faith big time. They're often more reckless, less coordinated, and prone to charging into fights.

It's not that they aren't smart. It's that they've been indoctrinated and trained as soldiers. And no doubt, the Elites being the militarized species that they are, most of them aren't expecting to roll up onto a battlefield and fight a Spartan.

They're accustomed to Covenant propaganda. Elites step over Humans and that's that.

Wasn't humanity basically just run over in the beginning of the Human-Covenant war?
Because Marines aren't on par with Elites, Spartans are.

Meh, the Arbiter seemed dimwitted and cocky since the first mission. Wasn't a surprise he died because he played with his food too much.

Exactly. Remove those flaws, and you'd have an almost unstoppable Arbiter.

Same could be said for the Cyclops in the Odyssey. Alas, that's not how the story plays out.
