*There was originally going to be an [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiter]] Armor Permutation in ''Halo 3'', but it was taken out before the game<nowiki>'</nowiki>s release. Bungie, however, did not explain why. Many fans expected it to be released as DLC, but due to the nature of the game that would be impossible. | *There was originally going to be an [[Arbiter (Rank)|Arbiter]] Armor Permutation in ''Halo 3'', but it was taken out before the game<nowiki>'</nowiki>s release.

*In ''Halo 3'', the neck of an Elite (regardless what Armor Permutation used) is completely immune to any form of damage except for a shot from a charged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]]. In addition, the projectile will simply pass through the neck, as though the neck wasn't there, without a blood spatter. This is because both Elites and Spartans have different models. | *In ''Halo 3'', the neck of an Elite (regardless what Armor Permutation used) is completely immune to any form of damage except for a shot from a charged [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol]].

*Many people speculate that hitboxes of the Spartans and Elites are shared but this is not true. While Bungie has officially commented on the hitboxes, they regard the size of the hitbox not the arrangement. Hitboxes are an unseen registry mechanic. They determine whether or not something has collided with the player. If an Elite is facing profile (sideways), and a shot is fired underneath the head (to where a Spartan's chest would be), the game will not register a hit. The head "hitbox" is forward more on Elites than it is Spartans. | *Many people speculate that hitboxes of the Spartans and Elites are shared but this is not true.
