The elites armour is minor
yes they are.
Halo: Reach happens before Halo 3. The Elites haven't defected from the Covenant yet.
No. In Halo 3, you can only play as Spartans and Elites.
its kind of a void question because the elites are on your team in Halo 3 so you don't really see them in vehicles.
Halo Wars is about 20 Years before Halo Combat Evolved. So the Elites are part of the Covenant.
no Gravemind was the leader of the flood and that virus. The elites in halo 3 join the UNSC marines as they fight the covenant and the flood
We aren't sure yet.
There are elites because I've beat the whole game there are some elites scattered around the city.
In Halo 4 those Elites are apart of an old splinter cell of the Covenant that never turned away from the Covenant ideas. As you notice there are no Brutes among their ranks because the Covenant Civil War tore the two apart. The Elites that were your allies in Halo 3 returned to their planet.
There really isn't a name for the red and blue elites, there just elites
The arbiter in halo 3 is basically the leader of the remaining Elites.
