Halo Elite Cosplay Puts Others To Shame

AndrewGOO9 writes "Pete Mander, a special effects artist from Ontario, Canada seems like he might have either had way too much time on his hands or just really enjoys Halo. Either way, this is one of those costumes that makes all of the cosplayers at a con feel like their best efforts just weren't quite up to par."

    The only people who don't look ridiculous doing cosplay are young, attractive women playing the roles of young, attractive, scantily clad female characters. All other cosplay is pointless.

      I may not like Halo, and may I'll leave my opinions of COSplay out of this.

      But I recognize art when I see it. That man knows his craft. Holy-shit. (I bet he does or did work in special effects or costume design)

    Any of the ones that made the genre?
    Halo just brought FPS to the fratboy set.

    Two points:
    1) An accomplishment is an accomplishment.
    2) The Halo series are really good games. They've brought tons of new ideas that many, many other games have emulated (recharging shield/health, realistic weapon load), and obviously they've sold very well.

    Most people just hate it because they have some "PC Game 1337 Gene" that makes it impossible to appreciate anything involving a game controller.

    (Ironically, they much prefer to play games on controllers designed to run office applications... but console players are less 1337. Go figure.)

    No, I think he does indeed have something on those.
