Imagine the kino. IIRC in the lore normal elites didn't even have shields, it's just that MC fights the very best, most well equipped covie forces in the games. Imagine then, a Harvest game. You are a marine and even a singular elite is a challenge to take down, but he doesn't have shields only his armour so it's still possible.
