Anyone think we will see both elite models in h6?

So I know the main reason for the fact that all elites, including the arbiter, had the new model in halo 5 is because of how it affected the budget. However, given that there is a canonical reason for the different looks, it would be much better to have both. Recent images from halo wars 2 have shown the old elite design, so does anyone thin we will see both in halo 6.

I think 343 is learning more and more from community feedback and hopefully they will include the older versions.
In my opinion the new ones look dumb and I really miss the ones from Halo 3 lol

I’m hoping that Halo 6 will have more diverse enemies, so that we can see Bungie’s Grunts next to 343 Grunts, Sangheili Minors taking orders from 343’s Sangheili Commanders, and so on.

I really liked the old Halo design for the elites. They looked refined and noble. The new elites look too reptilian and animalistic.

Well considering Halo Wars 2 is setting up the Banished to sort of be the new Covenant, I could sort of see the new elite design carry over into Halo 6, but that depends on two things:
1). If the Banished, by the end of Halo Wars 2, manage to escape from the Ark without being completely destroyed by the Spirit of Fire.
2.) If the Banished decide to align themselves with the Created, and if the Elites will follow them instead of joining with the Arbiter.

Simple explanation for both designs: different phenotypes.
Easy to implement in future Halo games.
I love both designs either way.

Do I think they will have both models in halo 6? No, would I like both models?absolutely

Yeah, at least they have a canonical reason for the differences

I think it is very possible since 343i IS listening to the fans, great thread!
