During the demo seeing the Elite do the combat roll, I was excited. It was so cool. If in infinite we get to play MP as Elites can we do the combat roll? If the Elites can do it why can’t Spartan’s?
Elites & other enemy AI have, to some extent, always jumped /rolled/ or dodged outta’ the way of the player.
Surely if you could do that it would make elites unbalanced to the Spartans, add a level of “advanced” movement, & take all possibilities of using an elite in Multiplayer away unless it is a specific game mode like invasion.
So long story short, most likely not, & hopefully not.
Most players have been vocal about wanting the elites back & playable, so I doubt that they would take the Halo: Reach approach & only make them playable in certain playlists, players don’t like being cornered into something to enjoy their character.
I’d rather they minimize the amount of extra movement/gameplay mechanics that are built into players by default. I’m totally fine with things like the grappling hook if they are map pickups, but one of the worst aspects of Reach and 4 were the armor abilities, and 5 made it even worse by giving everybody abilities that advocated running in headfirst rather that coming up with any sort of strategy.
I hope there isn’t a roll in matchmaking. That’s always been something the covenant did in campaign. Let it stay there.

I imagine Elites could do it since they are nimble and their armor isn’t crazy heavy, older spartans probably can’t do it because their armor is crazy heavy but newer spartans most likely could since they don’t have to go through those crazy augmentations and I think their armor is lighter, but they most likely don’t do it because they can tank hits and get to cover
I am completely against a combat roll in MP, the last thing we need to do is to further complicate movement mechanics
It was a blast in reach! As long as we have the golden triangle of halo fighting mechanics, I think it could work.

As I played reach in mcc, I found that some modes have been restricted to only three Spartan abilities so it’s not complicated. So I believe it can be done by tweaking game modes.
