I'd be less skeptical about this if the Zealot page had sources sited.

I discovered (via the thunderstorm skull) that on legendary, an ultra's shield is so strong that a direct tank shot will not take it down. This could be put in the article under the section about their shield strength if anyone thinks it's interesting. [[User talk:Quakeomaniac|Quakeomaniac]] 23:17, October 15, 2009 (UTC) | |||

I think that a Zealot's shield is less powerful than the one of an ultra because there is more honour in it. That's the reason they don't use vehicles. Though that's only my opinion, not a fact. -December 2007 | I think that a Zealot's shield is less powerful than the one of an ultra because there is more honour in it.

I think that maybe the yellow armor color and energy sword have something to do with that "honor" thing. | |||

Councilors have the strongest because they have the strongest shields. | Councilors have the strongest because they have the strongest shields. They also don't flinch when you hit them. But the Arbiter was a Zealot when he commanded 'Vadumee and Vadumee is even Higher than the standard Ultra rank. But also arguably Vadumee could have had Zealots under his command being that his fleet had CCS-Class battlecruisers. So based on shields alone it would appear Councilor>Ultra>Zealot. But at the same time if Zealot were right above Major taking the place of Ultra then why is it that the Honor Guards go Major Armor with Honor plates to Ultra armor with Honor Plates. If Zealots were right above majors then the Honor Guard armor would reflect that and have all gold Honor Guard under armor. But it doesn't so until evidence that an Ultra has commanded a Zealot I still say Zealot>Ultra. | ||
P.S. Vadum could have been a slightly elevated rank and could have command over some but not all Zealots he probably has command over ranks below Supreme Commander | P.S.

Maybe Ultra's are the "swords man". The ones who can choose any partner they want to pass on there genes. Thats why they have stronger shields and there secondary weapon is a sword? Just an idea. (Chris) | |||
Well lets disect this - First, You usually see an Ultra Elite in battle more then a Zealot, the Ultra Elites seem to act like Ground Commanders, don't quote me on this but it would appear that they hold the rank equal to a Lieutenant or a Captain - Commanding some 40-100 men. As we look on Cairo Station... You have some 3-6 Ultra Elites encountered there. 2 Of them serve as the personal guard for a Zealot. The others seem to be leading the Assaults. | |||
In addition Ultra Elites are also serving as the personal Guard to the Prophets or to high-ranking individuals. | |||
So it can be reasonably stated that, an Ultra Elite is in about's in charge of a Company of Covenant Soldiers - And also have better equiptment to deal with the fact that they are Combat Commanders, they lead the troops from the front line, whilst the Zealot's seem to lead the troops from their Bunkers. | |||
However 'great wall of text'ing this... It would appear that in most cases it would seem that a Zealot and a Ultra Elite would averagely be on the same level as eachother. Zealot's typically act as a Commissioned Officer, where as Ultra Elites are NCO's - But the difference between the two of them and their duties are minimal. Ones just a less hand's on Combat Commander, ones a more hand's on Combat Commander. So in theory while an Ultra will take orders from a Zealot, It's more of a ceremonious ranking system between the two, the Ultra's trust that the Zealot will have sound tactical advice, and the Ultra's will carry the job out. It can also be said that Zealot's are artistocrats. --[[Special:Contributions/66.37.173.159|66.37.173.159]] 08:09, 25 January 2009 (UTC) | |||

== Regarding this passage == | |||
"However, when Grunts/Jackals are replaced by Elites in Halo CE through use of a mod, the replaced characters possess white/sapphire armor that looks eerily similar to that of an Ultra Elite. They could have been taken out during the development process of the game; but may be a sort of "default state" as the edited Elites assume their color. Dead individuals, presumably killed in combat with Marines or the Flood are spotted throughout Halo: Combat Evolved. " | |||
That is correct. The Elite bipeds in Halo CE, by default, are white. It is through a combination of cubemaps and the color settings inside of each individual actor variant tag that the Elites are colored in Halo: Combat Evolved. Just wanted to throw this information out there. | |||

== On Delta Halo == | |||
On the first area after clearning and the Phantoms drop in reinforcements, I managed to encounter what was probably an ultra because it was light-colored and took about five sniper shots before taking out a sword... this was heroic, does this usually happen? | |||
This isn't an isolated incident, its happened to me a couple of times but it isn't exactly usual. [[Special:Contributions/82.45.116.95|82.45.116.95]] 19:06, June 18, 2010 (UTC) | |||

In what levels of Halo: Combat Evolved can you find Ultra Elite corpses?I just couldn´t find them in any level. | |||
Try looking in the level "keyes", after you fall through the hole, look around the first part of the canyon and there should be one lying dead on a rock.[[User talk:Dagoth11|Dagoth11]] 22:21, September 27, 2010 (UTC) | |||

Just so i dont get suspended, MAY I add that elite ultras in halo reach will sometimes have their mandibles protruding trough their helmets? And I WANT TO DO IT... not have someone else though. thank you. so yes or no? [[User talk:Dagoth11|Dagoth11]] 22:23, September 27, 2010 (UTC) | |||
