| ==Suggestion==
| |
|
| |
| I suggest we remove all the unconfirmed speculation from both these articles: Remove the speculation and the picture.
| |
|
| |
| We do not know for sure which one is which, our speculations do not belong in an encyclopedic article.
| |
|
| |
| However let me suggest an alternative: Post the picture that has both of them in it and say "He is one of these two Elites" or something along that lines but in a more intelligent manner.
| |
|
| |
| Fully removing it or having a picture of both with the speculation each article is far better then just having useless speculation and having people get used to a certain face to match a certain name if it might be incorrect. --[[User:Justin Time|Justin Time]] 23:27, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

| :Removing the "ee" is something we would never think of, but makes sense if you think about it. They mentioned "Rtas 'Vadum" in the page, which is obviously a reference to Rtas 'Vadumee. Truth is, the Elites are no longer a part of the Covenant, they are an independant group now. It makes sense that they would remove the "ee" from their names, because it represents participation in the military that betrayed and massacred them, and of the Covenant which decieved them their whole lives, as well as the religion they now know to be suicidal and false. --<b>[[User:ED|<font color="000000">ED</font>]]<sub>([[User talk:ED|<font color="000000">talk</font>]])</sub><sup>[http://halopedian.com/User:ED/Gaming<font color="000000">(gaming)]</font></sup></b> 02:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC) | | :Removing the "ee" is something we would never think of, but makes sense if you think about it.

| Doesn't help much the purple Elite is further away from the camera. Also spec ops usually wear greyish armor. The purple armor atchually looks like the ranger's armor, which would be perfect for someone operating in potentially oxygen free enviroments. --[[User:Ajax 013|Ajax 013]] 02:32, 1 August 2007 (UTC) | | Doesn't help much the purple Elite is further away from the camera.

| I have put the speculation within the article. We must let the reader know that it is possible we got the pictures backwards. Besides I doubt hes a minor domo by the way. And SpecOps from Halo 2 wore purple armor.[[User:Justin Time|Justin Time]] 05:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC) | | I have put the speculation within the article.

| His armor is atchually a few shades lighter than spec ops. Why would a veteran of several campaigns be just a minor domo rank? Also as i noted before his ranger armor would be suiting to him in his original job as fleet Secruity. Also They both belong the the Special Warfare group of the Fleet of Retribution, that would technically make them both spec ops. --[[User:Ajax 013|Ajax 013]] 12:58, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

| ::Well it could be in part to new shading and lighting systems that his armor may look lighter, or it may be competely purposeful change in color. For example the Arbiter is no longer a steel-blue-grey color but instead is more bronze/gold. --[[User:Ajax 013|Ajax 013]] 17:36, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

| == Armor trivia? ==
| |
|
| |
| Is it worth noting that he is (not counting the Arbiter, who's is unusable in multiplayer) the only Campaign character you can play with a armor other than the default type? See: Master Chief=Mark 6, Arbiter=N/A, Blue elite I can't remember=Combat harness, Usze 'Taham=assault harness. I know Assault is also default, but you START with the others (not arbiter) depending on whether you're a spartan or elite.[[User talk:Papayaking|Papayaking]] 00:18, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

| Could somebody do a full-body transparent cutout render of Usze 'Taham? I have one I made that I got from GameSpy, but I was unable to get rid of most of the GameSpy logo still covering up most of his foot. I tried to use the Clone stamp tool in Adobe Photoshop CS5 to take care of it, but it didn't really work that well, at least, not in the way I wanted it to work. I suppose the same image ([http://xbox360.gamespy.com/dor/objects/734817/halo-3/images/halo-3-20070923023924116.html?page=mediaFull]) could still be used, but would have to be downsized, and someone would really have to more tricks than I do in order to remove that stinking GameSpy logo. If someone could get on this project, that would really be great. [[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 17:58, 29 September 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330

| == Some changes to the content ==
| |
|
| |
| Thanks to a discussion the Sangheili talk page, I made some research into the biography of this character since it has caused some confusion. From what I've read, Usze is not a Fleet Security officer but an military individual that operates under the Fleet Security (this affiliation was also used in EVG). B.net's biography of Usze does not mention his position in a military unit (i.e. Rangers, Stealth) or of his rank. With that said, we know nothing of his military unit or of his rank.
| |
|
| |
| From what I am able to analyse in my spare time of an hour, I believe that Usza is a Stealth Sangheili with the reason being that:
| |
| # he wore an Assault Harness, a combat armour worn by SpecOps as seen in H3.
| |
| # in H:Anniversary, Stealth Sangheili wore H:Reach's SpecOps harness.
| |
|
| |
| I understand that we never saw any Stealth Sangheili in Halo 3. However, we can assume that if they do appear in Halo 3, they would no doubt use the same harness used by the Specops. This is coupled with the visual evidence as seen in H:Anniversary where Stealth Sangheili are shown to utilise the same harness used by the Specops, though without any energy shielding. Now, as to why the lack of energy shielding is not present in 4-player co-op, I can simply say "gameplay reasons". The best example of this would be the absence of the Arbiter's cloaking ability from H2, which has been replaced with a flashlight that appears out of nowhere.— <span style="font-size:16px; font-family:OrbitronMedium;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 22:18, 3 April 2012 (EDT)

| :Never mind. I guess I put too much thinking into this. But I still think we should make a minor change from "fleet security officer" to "fleet security staff".

| ==Canon appearance in "The Covenant" ?==
| |
| I was taking screenshots in the Halo 3's level ''The Covenant'', just after the double-scarab battle, and noticed the two elites at the plasma turrets of the green phantom : they have the exact colors of Usze 'Taham and N'tho 'Sraom ! Besides, the armor "Usze" wears isn't assault variation, but the special color is the same. Screenshots are available [http://wiki.halo.fr/index.php/Fichier:H3_Usze.jpg here] and [http://wiki.halo.fr/index.php/Fichier:H3_N%27tho.jpg here].<br>So, do you think these are our little companions ? <strong>[[User:Lunaramethyst|<span style="font:23px Segoe script; color:darkgreen;">Λ</span>]]</strong><sup>[[User talk:Lunaramethyst|<span style="color:#4C997C">Want to speak ?</span>]]</sup> 10:35, 18 January 2013 (EST)

| :Huh. Nice find. Here's an [[:File:Sangheili Major 01.png|AI Elite Major]] and the player-controlled [[:File:UszeTaham - Profile.png|'Taham]]. The (Phantom) Red Elite's color is closer to 'Taham's than it is to an AI Elite Major. I'm quite convinced that those two are our unsung heroes! —<span style="font-family: Eurostile;">'''[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:#000;">SPARTAN</span>]][[User talk:Spartan331|<span style="color:#888;">331</span>]]'''</span> 11:38, 18 January 2013 (EST)

| ::Looks just like them! Good find!--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 11:46, 18 January 2013 (EST)

|
| |
| I would say the colours are just good coincidences. The Majors in ''Halo 3'' [[:File:Major Elite Variations.jpg|have variations]], so it is likely that what we see is one of these colour variations. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 05:12, 19 January 2013 (EST)
| |
| :The AI-controlled Elites featured in the variation screenshot still have different colors. One's darker, and one's more red. While I'm not completely supporting this, I would love to believe they are if we have more sources. —<span style="font-family: Eurostile;">'''[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:#000;">SPARTAN</span>]][[User talk:Spartan331|<span style="color:#888;">331</span>]]'''</span> 08:49, 19 January 2013 (EST)

| |
| See if the colors are recurring, especially on different difficulties. If those guys appear on the same Phantom each time, it could easily be them.
