I love Halo in general and I also Love the elites but 343 keeps trying to replace them and its annoying.
I have proof
H4 they removed playable elites and the elites were in like four to six levels and the promethean Knites were there to replace the Elites.
H5 There were probably less elites than before and not it was the genaric solders that were there to replace the Elites. Still no playable elites.
Now HI Put the brutes back in but notice how they are in the place elites were preveously. and up to this point in when I posted this there are still no playable elites.
I think Infinite did a better job of bringing the Elites into a more prominent antagonistic role through Jega 'Rdomnai, but there is still work to be done
Also, I don’t really buy 343i’s various excuses for the exclusion of playable Elites, I hope we can play as them again in the future, but I’m doubtful.
h4 had them as enimies for the begining of the campaign…
h5 had them as ALLIES in a few missions, which was cool. oh and also had the remaining covenant which did have elites
and hI have them as standared enemies along side the brutes…
sure they’re no longer the main enemy, priority 1. but they are stlil the main spartan counter
Whats up with really bad players like this guy playing on our team. My team mate and I had good stats bit then we got this player with KD 0.25.

He was worse than a bot with -12.
While I agree the lack of elites in mutiplayer is rediculus, campaign wise I don’t really see the problem. If anything 343 has been keeping them around.
Halo 3 and ODST completely lacked elite enemies, yet 343 brought elites back as enemies in h4,5, and Infinite.
Halo 5’s and Halo 4’s Elites Kinda sucked and Halo Infinite’s is at this pont not really “The player’s equal” which is what they were designed for.
